Worst Sens Team in last 5 years?
Is this the worst team we've had in the last 5 seasons?
Inconsistent goalkeeping...slow and uncreative defence corps, and basically one scoring line. Mix that in with the recent contract extensions that Fisher and Vermette signed (one point combined in first 6 games) and this team doesn't really seem to be set up very well for this year, or next.
What do the Sens need to do?
1) Get Gerber out of there. this team's confidence level despite what they're saying in front of the cameras is obviously shot. Three shots on goal in the first period is unacceptable and this is solely due to the fact that the Sens players are tentative coming out of their own zone and can't create offence as a result.
2) Keep the "Big 3" together. It doesn't matter who they play against, on MOST nights, this line is dominant and can get players like Fisher and Vermette away from the other teams top checkers.
3) Send Picard to AHL and replace with Schubert. Picard is a borderline NHLer at best and has cost this team at least three goals directly form his turnovers. If you can't make a tape-to-tape pass out of your zone, go to the AHL. This would enable Hartsburgh to put Donovan back on the 4th line and create more energy.
4) Keep the lines together for more than a period. How are you supposed to develop any chemistry when your linemates change from shift to shift. The Sens looked disorganized and passes just weren't clicking last night.
Lets hear your suggestions...there are probably about 100 more things taht need to be done.
Go Sens!
