The only person that said that is W.P. Rager, for the record.

The Sens had a 2-0 lead on a team that played the night before and endured a 4 hours bus ride after their game.  They should have piled it on in the third and run up the score, as opposed to winning in the shootout.  The Jets had 21 shots on goal in the last 25 minutes.  7 shots on goal in OT!  The Sens were damn close to losing this game.

Yes but they still played a much better game as a team than we have in the passed. The jets are pretty lights out these days doesn't mean that it makes us a worse team. Sure the game wasn't perfect but I saw a huge difference than before. Had we had played like before it would of been a loss earlier on.
There are major improvements. Most notably from Zib.

And Ryan.

Well ryan didn't have his coming out party last night, he had been a lot better do a few games. Last night was by a mile zibs best game of the season.

I for one can't wait to face the lowly hurricanes! Should be interesting to say the least!!!

Sorry, you're right, that was an ill-conceived pass, but Karlsson was gambling, for sure.

I certainly agree that our D needs to be better, but I think we've been saying this for years.  We're a young team and are just going to be inconsistent, and that's that.  Hopefully, we eventually make a move or two to bolster the young lineup, but there's no rush on that front since the team is collecting points.

Well that's a stinking pile of bullsh*t right there. I pointed out who played well (Andy, Ryan, Zibanejad, etc.) but being outshot in the third period and OT by a team that was playing its second game in two nights is troubling. It's no secret that the Sens are struggling at home and it has nothing to do with talent. They simply don't seem to bring the same level of urgency to their play. No idea why, but it is troubling.

It's great that we got a W but with a 2-0 lead on a tired team we should have run away with it.

I'm truly starting to hate that team. Please, please can we beat them? I can't remember last time we won in Raleigh but I remember oh so many losses. The one that hurt the most was when they played after attending Daron's funeral and Eric Staal celebrated after a goal like he had just won the Cup.

I don't know what it is about that place, but they play some of their worst hockey there. It's bound to change, though.

You mean the last time we were there?

No, I meant before that. Exclude the magical mystery comeback tour.

This is the one I hated:

Staal had a hattrick plus 2 assists and the Sens were blown out 7-1. Knowing what the team had just gone through that assh*le could have at least not celebrated like an idiot.

I know why - our fans are crap and the building is dead most nights.

So why does it not affect the other team?

Conveniently to prove your point.

I somewhat agree. Our fans are pretty silent and don't show much encouragement. It's probably because it comprises of families that are just too busy looking after their kids and people showing too much restraint.

Home or away, win or lose, those Carolina games always seems painful to watch.

The young and hungry strategy has left the fans starving for a contender.

they're on the road?

So why dos the rowdy crowd an away games affect the Sens positively but our quiet crowds don't affect visiting teams negatively?

Hey, I do my best. Point is the Sens have stunk in Raleigh. Over the last 5 or 6 years they've won twice -- once in a shootout and once in OT. And Carolina has had some terrible teams over these years.
