Yes those are the key numbers. Especially the steady decline. Kind of silly to point out that the Sens are benefitting from above average goaltending. Only guys with better save % numbers than Anderson are Holtby and Dubnyk. Good goaltending is also a team number.

There was no steady decline. He played greart, then he sucked. Kinda silly to talk about goaltending being a team stat then say the guy declined.

Anderson has always worn out in seasons he played +35 games. I suspect he fizzles out again this year soon enough.

We should remember as well, that he is nearing the end of his career. A goalie who has notoriously had a hard time handling the schedule of a number 1 goalie, could have an even harder time as he gets to a point in his career where his game is bound to fall off.

Well, I am sure that Is what your hoping for. Ottawa will head into the playoffs with Anderson having had a lighter schedule. And, if things go really well they should be able to give him some rest down the stretch.

After you just finished saying condon's play has declined

he's the third oldest starter in the league. I think it's more like you hoping he isn't declining like every goalie and player his age.

it must hurt to see the sens doing so well

Admittedly, it's frustrating.

Good to know their record is built on house of cards.

Cute.

There is no doubt that Dion has been a major player for the Sens. His play and especially his guidance in helping Ceci to develop into a solid #3 is one of the main reasons the Sens have evolved as strongly as they have.

Look for Phaneuf to log lots of minutes next year in helping to mentor Chabot's transition to the NHL game.

although spatsos comments certainly provide another viewpoint from the majority of sens fans discussing whether or not they can find a way to expose him and Bobby ryan in the expansion draft.

The assumption has to be that Ottawa will protect Karlsson, Methot and Ceci. They will expose Phaneuf, Wideman, Borowieki and Claesson. At this point you can assume that Vegas will take Wideman if they take a Dman from Ottawa.

The forwards Ottawa will protect are Turris, Stone, Hoffman, Brassard, Smith, Pageau, Dzingel and Burrows. Exposed forwards are Ryan, MacArthur, Kelly, Neil, Stalman, Wingels and Pyatt.

Dion phaneuf is a great player! The greatest! That's why the sens will expose him! Because Vegas won't pick him up! Because he's great!

Stalman is great! He doesn't exist, but he's the best!

You know how badly you expose your butt hurt when you struggle through those kind of comments. Sens can protect 3 Dmen. They will not expose Karlsson, Methot or Ceci. What are you supposed to do?

Stalman is great! He doesn't exist, but he's the best!

Down to commenting on auto correct and spelling errors...a bit more butt hurt being revealed by Leaf fans.

Seriously though, Ottawa is very safe in the expansion draft based on this list.

You straight up said that and then hid when we pointed out how dumb it was.

Just reminding you of it

Stalberg also doesn't autocorrect to Stalman. It auto corrects to Stalker... and I don't think you've spelt his name correctly since the trade.

But alas, I suppose commenting on your intelligence is a bit of a low-blow.

So let's review the recent history of the Leafs. I think it was a game 7 in Boston was it not? Never mind.....
