Underwhelming

Not a whole lot to say about the Senators. After looking pretty competitive in the first two regular season games, in Sweden, the Sens have looked very mediocre. At times the team looks good, but it is only for 20 minute stretches at best. Everyone is inconsistent. Defense, scorers, goaltending. But to be fair, Auld has only played one game and he was consistent. Grinders Nick Foligno and Jarkko Ruutu have been pretty solid. The rest of the team is a merry-go-round; always up or down and only going in circles.

At least Hartsburg has called his team out and challenged them. It's still early, but never too early to spank the team into action. This is exactly why they brought him in as the new coach. I look forward to results. Actually, I am expecting results.
