Line shake ups on the Sens

[leftylucas]

With all the woes of the Sens I thought that Fisher should take over the first line and put Spaz, uh, I mean Spezz on the 2nd line. I think Fisher would eb great there and the much more defensively minded 2nd line wingers could help out the Spazz and make him less a liability.

What do you guys think.

As reported on TSN.ca these were the lines at practice yesterday:
Forwards:
Eaves - McAmmond - Alfredsson
Fisher - Spezza - Neil
Heatley - Kelly - Vermette
Schubert - Kaigorodov - McGrattan
(Peter Schaefer did not skate as he has been bothered by a sore hip flexor)

Defence (Pairings remained the same):
Redden - Meszaros
Phillips - Corvo
Volchenkov - Preissing

At this point Murray has to shake up the lines as we have to start scoring some goals.
Whether these lines will stick I'm sure we'll see variations of them. Change is good when things are working. We'll see tonight.

Evidently. Didn't get to watch the game but I'm sure the fans enjoyed their free pizza.

To bad CBC Ottawa didn't show the game, we all know how much they need to get their leafs aur time

OH well. At least the World Series was on. Gave us something to watch.

Man you Sens fans are brutal, a couple of bad games and you are ready to disown one the better guys in the league.

Not ready to disown, but signs of improvement would be nice, which there were none throughout the firts 3 or 4 games. Now granted I didn't see the game Sat, but 8-1 is an improvement. Hopefully this will get them jump started.

As opposed to Leafs fans who have been waiting for almost 40 years but still keep buying tickets.

I just don't understand Toronto sports fans: Blue Jays attendance dropped off quickly - losing over 11,000 fans per game from 94 to 95 after only 1 year not winning the World Series.

The biggest difference in the game IMO was how the D-men jumped up into the play........and Corvo, this dude is all that he was advertised and MORE.

If we get out powerplay back on trace Corvo could challenge for the D-man scoring title.
