Bitterness takes root in resentment. Resentment is always the product of hurt, some form of emotional wounding. People who display outward anger, especially contempt, are just trying to avoid absorbing more hurt.

I have no desire to add to your hurt. But, you need to know, your outward bitterness suggests unresolved patterns of betrayal, perhaps abandonment.

You need to be very careful not to use mood altering substances to try and repair ot alter your sad feelings.

Spatso gettin cock slapped yet again.

at this point its more when than it is if.

mostly depends on how long Karlsson alone can carry them. I think Karlsson can win a cup if he wants to. But i dont think he would want to leave Ottawa to do it.

Oddly enough the team that could use him the most is the Leafs. Put karlsson on the Leafs (nevermind that the Leafs could never do it under the cap) and you have a legit contender.

He's got permanent knob prints at this point.

Agreed.

There is no reason to believe Karlsson won't re-sign.

The problem is that the other expensive players are not improving in the next 3 years. The goalie isn't going to get better, or even be there, the core is aging and the good players are also due for raises and the team can't even sell out a playoff game and seats are now being taken out of the arena.

A lack of willingness to compete for a stanley cup isn't exactly the hallmark of a "great" anything in this league.

Losing is part of the Leaf culture.

Losing is a way for some sports franchises.

Need to see if last year was just another year of Leaf hype or if they can become a serious contender.

How many years ago did the Leafs collapse in the playoff game against Boston?

I think Leaf fans are about to discover some of the "fail" moments the Oilers have known over the transition years.

Duh! Sens went to overtime in game seven of the semi final. Hard to believe just how much in denial some of you guys live.

I think Leafs fans enjoyed that more than you did,

or at least more than you should.

Happy 28th overall pick for an old, over-priced team with a closed window.

Look what you have to look forward to: WORST CONTRACT IN THE NHL, and how that turd of a hockey player Bobby Ryan did not make this list with a long term $7.5 million a year contract on an "el cheapo" team scoring like a fourth liner getting first line minutes is beyond belief.

PS, I nominate Tom Pyatt to be the next Sen's captain when Karlsson signs elsewhere.
Cheers!

Last I checked, lucking into a semi final elimination isn't the same thing as winning the cup, or close to it even.

I am sure someone will get right on that, as soon as you guys back up all the ridiculous poop you have spewed for the last 600 pages or so.

Just for giggles though...

Trend is towards smaller buildings without loss of revenues. From recent article on building downsizing. So even though businesses primary objective is profit, it makes perfect sense to me as a Sens fan to reduce potential revenue.

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

First and foremost, reducing the number of seats in an arena does not necessarily correlate to a reduction in the popularity of a team or sport. It is more directly related to having a disloyal fanbase and an owner that won't spend money on the team. I believe that this bullsh!t that I am writing is so far from reality that no person with an intellect level above a simpleton would believe it."

Smart money is not betting on the sens.

No surprise.

gonna have to be that guy and point out that betting odds are highly based on betting trends, thus are totally meaningless and perfect for someone like d0pes to use in an argument
