| Jarkko Ruutu and Nick Foligno are working drive through today. |
10,410 seconds. 174 minutes. That's the last time the Senators scored a goal. You have to feel for Elliott and Leclaire since they never get any goal support. Elliott did everything that he could last night but couldn't stop that Vanek slapshot in the shootout.
Triple Chocolate Donut
Peter Regin showed us again that he can be the hardest working player on the ice. Only problem is that he's not scoring. Is this another case of Vermettisitis? A natural center playing the wing who will eventually be traded and find success playing his role and his position somewhere else? Only time will tell.
Day Old Donut
Carkner had the least amount of ice time among defensemen and the most penalty minutes. Never a good combo even if you add a coffee or the soup of the day.
Employee of the Day
We saw what Erik Karlsson can bring to the table last night and that's speed. I've seen him try the homerun pass way to many times this season which scares the candy sprinkles out of me. Karlsson needs to push the puck up on the rush and back up the defense. He did it a few times against the Sabres with success and just needs to remember to read the play before trying to go coast to coast.
Fresh Donut of the Day
Looks like we'll get a look at Bobby Butler today for the first time this season. He's leading the B Sens in goals and has been lighting it up with Locke. Don't expect him to turn this team around in one game, but his offense will definitely be a welcome addition. I'm hoping that he gets a chance to play on one of the top 2 lines with Foligno or Shannon taking a seat in the press box.
Prepping the Fryer for a New Batch
Game time is 5 pm for the Rangers / Sens game today. I've had my fill of donuts.
Please drop me a line and let me know what you think about the blog. This is new for me and any feedback is appreciated.
