Well, hopefully last night got it out of their system. After starting the season with 8 games with at least a point last night for the first time you can honestly say, they sucked.

Everything sucked last night, the officiating was awful, they missed wide open nets on at least two occasions, played poorly defensively and really the only player that showed up was probably Patrick Lalime. He was in net with no support from anyone so yes five went in, but two of those were breakaways and out of the other three, one was an errant pass directly in front of the net.

The two goals they scored late in the game came with powerplays that had the Sens down two men on one of them. They would have meant something had the wide open net chances gone in. Pominville had one, Vanek and Roy had chances all night and as usual, Max dances but he never finishes. 

Nights like this will happen and lets face it, they were a tired bunch after coming home from the west coast. Get it behind you, just hope that the Sens didn't wake up permanently.

The record now is 6-1-2 for 14 points and a three point lead in the division. Next up Tampa Thursday night.
