Conacher still on his off-wing :( No Gryba or Zibanejad :(

So Gryba actually is in tonight, in place of Corvo rather than Wiercioch though :/ Kassian is also taking Da Costa's spot...

Re: Senators @ Coyotes

I was gonna say Josh, for me Gryba was certainly the best Dman and possibly the best Senator on the ice tonight.

I know Spezza scored 3 goals, but 2 were into empty nets, and I wasn't all that impressed with his overall game, especially early on.

Conacher tried his heart out but he does not belong on that off wing (as Josh has mentioned before).

However, Ryan and Turris seemed to click. MacArthur has been very unlucky but should break out soon with the amount of play he finds himself in.

Playing Pageau with Kassian and Condra is not effective at all. I'm still not sure why Kassian even has a spot on this team. Similarly, Greening with Smith and Neil isn't helping anyone either.

Yep, spot on Matt! I didn't see Conacher's PP goal, but Greening was on the ice so I'm guessing Conacher was playing LW when he scored. If so, let's hope someone takes notice.

Re: Senators @ Coyotes

Actually he was on the right, Methot found him at the edge of the paint. Keep in mind this was 4 on 4.
