a lot of really crappy players would play forward or defense. which is kind of ridiculous because its a lot harder to hide a 12th forward than a 6th defenseman. belak played both. john scott.

i remember early in his career the senators played phillips at forward. and then they used borowiecki at forward for some reason.

Schubert was my favorite Sens flip. He was terrible either way, but terrible in such an intriguing manner.

Yeah he got can-openered in front of his own net, twisted 180 degrees then fell over on his knee.

Not sure what I think about that most recent slashing penalty.

it was a slash, it was just the weakest slash because he is a very weak man apparently. I love that he then fell down.

yeah but lovely punchmen always do that. They're only D insofar as you need to have them on the ice for punching once in a while.

Unless you're calgary and need a top pairing guy.
Eh. He was not much worse than any other 6/7 defenseman, plus he could hit people really hard. And he was cheap, until the jets gave home like 8 million over 3, or whatever ridiculousness they paid him.

And, you know, all that blistering offense from the wing he provided was just a bonus.

He was a forward with Frolunda so....

^^^ yeah Schubert is my favorite example of a guy with all the tools but no hockey IQ. he just had no idea where to be or how to take advantage of his strength and speed and size

The first period was exciting. Wasn't really expecting them to go balls out the rest of the game after putting up 4 in the first. The game's boringness at this point is the Pens giving up and not pushing hard.

Eh, regardless, period 1 not withstanding, the senators play boring hockey.

Hopefully they didn't learn that a forecheck will beat the penguins, and fall back into the no offense trap like in game 2.
