All it takes is one line to get these kids going. It truly is amazing. It usually takes me three or four posts to get Leaf fans going. Just saying.

It's funny you'd say that because tonight the Habs are icing pretty close to their opening day lineup and the Sens are icing AHLers.

Yer jus dum.

Largely because of nagging injuries. Speeza and Ryan were both supposed to play tonight.
 
1. Boston
2. Ottawa

3. Detroit
4. Toronto

5. Montreal
6. Tampa
7. Buffalo
8. Florida

1-4 make playoffs. 1&2 go right down to wire for division and conference title.

The Pens (who won the conference title) were on pace for a 123 point season last year. Ottawa was on pace for a 95 point season (with historically great goaltending).

The Sens need to improve by 20-25 points next season to realistically contend for the conference title.

Good luck with that if the goaltending dips to a more sustainable level.

Luck in terms of injuries will play a role.

Talent at key positions and depth will play a bigger role if injuries are at a reasonable level.

The talent at key positions includes the best goaltending tandem in the conference.
 
the best goaltending tandem in the conference doesn't include even one goalie who's ever had an above average full starting season.

interesting.

The Sens posted a 933 team SV% last year. The 2nd best team in the league posted a 922SV%.

Even if the Sens get top 5 goaltending next year (elite), it will still be a significant drop from what they got last year -- which means lots of goals need to be replaced. Better health will help to offset this somewhat, but not to the tune of a 20-30 point increase.

Sens need last years goaltending performance over a 82 game season to realistic hit 110-120 points.

Offset somewhat...pull your head out of your ass.

In 11-12 with a healthy Spezza and Karlsson the Sens were 4th in the NHL in goals per game.
