Physicality and Alfredsson are the only problems the sens have. It's not that Alfredsson isn't skilled, he is, we all saw that, this year especially. Its that he is not the kind of guy you want leading your team, he has 0 class, another thing we saw yet again this year. Alfredsson would be good on any team, in a supporting role. IMO, he doesn't deserve the C or even an A.
We also saw this year that Ottawa, like all eastern teams, did not have the Physicality/Skill mix needed for the Cup. Physicality seems to be key in the cup. the Sabers where easily the most skilled team in the NHL, Ottawa was more physical, which is why they beat them. but they where not physical enough to take on the Ducks(who should be referred to as the Birds of Prey from now on).

his teams never won. its that simple. he talks like he's one of the greats but to be great you have to win and he never has. same with other like pat quinn. you can talk all you want but when you dont deliver the goods………there are so many accolades you can give.

Congrats he scored two goals but you do not piss off the captain of the other team who is a hall of fame player and one of the most respected guys in the league. How stupid can you be? The difference between Alfreddson and Messier is that players respect Messier unlike Alfredsson. Messier and Alfredsson do not belong in the same sentence or league. Messier has won 6 Stanley Cups, won MVPs, Conn Smythes and the list goes on.
How can you defend Alfredsson? What is so special about Alfredsson? What has he done? He led a team to the Stanley Cup when the Eastern Conference was terrible. Congrats to you Alfredsson. When things look to be going right you have to do something really stupid to motivate the other team once again instead of your own team. You wonder why Ottawa has not won a Stanley Cup with all the talent they have or had.

Hahaaaaaaaaaa....take that Muckler *uckler!

Murray has destroyed teams in the past. He draft picks well, but always burns a team, like he just did in Anaheim. Yeah, Ozolinsh, Sykora, Prospal, and Fedorov all made sense for a Stanley Cup winning team. Idiot. The Murray brothers always destroy a team after making it good, they've done it with the Panthers, i believe the Flyers and Caps. He'll destroy Ottawa too, but resign and run away like a coward as the team in in shambles while getting another coaching job.

"Captains do not hit people from behind, intentionally try to hit a star player with a slapshot,"
-wilson52

id REALLY like to comment on this lil thing hea

alfy might not be the classyist captain ever.......i will never be the greatist speller either :p.........BUT.....he motivated his in ANY way possible..

its a game....shooting the puck at scotty isnt forbidden....he did it to show that he doesnt care WHO hes playing against...i mean business.....
just like a fight..alfy did it to pump up his team.......everyone said he would "get it" in the next game... what did he do?.....he scored 2 goals and was pretty active...

take it for wat its worth but nick kiprios compared this action to mark messier........i for one...will never compair anyone to the great moose....but it does prove a point......he did everything he could to get his team going

as for hits from behind....haha hesint gonna be getting the pearson or lady bing anytime soon :p

k well....flame on guys....haha.....i personally dont think he is captain material...but i still thought id try and defend him :p..

The Sens will not win a cup as long as Alfredsson is the captain. He does some of the stupidest things as crucial times. Captains do not hit people from behind, intentionally try to hit a star player with a slapshot, put down other players (ie Emery last year), acts like a coward and does not take responsibility for his actions.
Leaders make their team better and lead by example. From what I see Alfredsson is that guy. I will admit he had a great playoffs for once but I feel some players from his team or around the league do not respect him like other players or captains in the NHL.

Their farm system is so so. They have a couple solid prospects in junior and in college, so they dont get to play down in Bingo, so their AHL teams record doesnt indicate the tallent pool they have. They also have a couple kids in Russia who were steals in the 3rd and 4th rounds, and would be early 2nds or late 1st if it wasnt for the transfere agreement. Goaltenders are decent too with Guard and Kelly there, both who had steller junior careers, and could one day be starters on an NHL teams, solid backups at the least i think.

u r crazy. The team rallied around alife and what is wrong withe preissing and corvo they are great puckk moving d-men and preissing proved he is good defensivly with a +41. Emery needs to stay he would be the first goalie that the sens developed and he is a fan fav for sure and can out play the opposing goalie game in and game out
