The Senators droped into 15th place in the Eastern Conference with the recent shootout loss to the Rangers. Seems like the team has more meetings than practices lately and the media has fully pushed the panic button. There are talks of blowing-up the team by trading for better defensemen, more scoring, a better goalie, new head coach, or new GM. Kind of like the Yankees, the Senators can't do anything without it getting picked up in the media. So, when the team struggles it's big news in Canada. To make matters worse both Neil and Fisher went out with knee injuries in the last game and look to be out for weeks. (At least that excludes them from trade rumors). It is frustrating to watch the team struggle so badly, and yet I keep expecting them to snap right out of it. They still have three of the top scoring forwards in the league; but no one is getting it done. I still wait for a turnaround.

 

Excited about the Kings/Capitals game tomorrow. We got a babysitter for the kids. The best part is that the babysitter is free! Alisia is hoping to meet Luc Robitaille. I doubt it, but it's not totally out of the realm of possibility. Luc has a high level marketing position with the Kings, he could appear. Either way the seats are good, around the 14th row of the bottom bowl, and I get a date evening without the kids.
