Well, the Sens are on a 3 game losing streak. Has the Clouston Effect worn off? I don't think so. But the Sens had all the reason to come out hard against Montreal. Two new players on the roster, a chance to make-up points in the playoff race and prove themselves against a top team that is currently struggling. Well, Kovalev's return did more for the Habs, than Comrie and Campoli for the Sens.
I am going to take the easy way out and blame the goaltending. (Yeah, pretty weak) But, Elliot hasn't been very good. Granted the Sens are more like their former selves in many ways; hard forecheck, solid PK with shorthanded chances, but also notorious for slow starts. The last few games have seen 0-2 and more often 0-3 first period deficits. They put in Auld against the Wild and came back from a 0-3 deficit, but that is a bit much to expect everytime.
Elliott has to be better. It's not fair, but that's the bottom line.
