Goaltending? Where we’re going, we don’t need goaltending.

2010.10.28: In which we get high and hit on Tomas Vokoun
2010.10.27: In which Kovalev scores twice. What a jerk.
25.10.2010: In which we look down into our scotches for a little hope, a little prayer, and find only Genius Alfie and our erectile dysfunction
24.10.2010: In which in lieu of a Sens game post-mortem, we ruminate on Kovalev, which is the same thing
Some other fine Sens blogs (Silver Seven, Another Sens Blog) have already bothered to weigh in on our favorite pouty millionaire, Alex Kovalev. Their analysis has been nuanced, balanced, and very fair, and though we find it hard to believe that anyone can respond with any less than violent upchucking into their office garbage bin at Mr. Eyes-on-the-Prize’s season thus far, we concede that we probably need to say more than Screw That Richie Rich, He’s Rich So Screw ‘im.
And so, in light of the Sens laying yet another egg on Hockey Night in Canada, in combination with Kovalchuk being a healthy scratch in New Jersey last night (and for some reason Markov) we contribute the following to the debate:
Having said that (and really, what more need be said), hearing fucking nanananaheyheyheygoodbye in our own building last night was all the tragedies of the world wound up in a bullet to my heart. I hate you, Habs fans, and your silly soccer chants. But today, I hate my team even more for not only losing to you, but doing so with one of your castoffs in the lineup.
Anyway, I’ll be in the building for the game this Tuesday against Phoenix, so look for some live reportage for the first time in this blog’s history, AKA something about traffic, something about beer prices, and probably something about Kovalev and being shut out again.
19.10.2010: In which we praise the hard work of others. (Not Toronto.)
No surprise to regular blog readers to hear me say that Gabe Dejardins’ Behind the Net blog is probably the best stats-based hockey site out there. Many fans of teams mired in losing streaks turn to his work to try and make sense of the chaos evident in their home rink. Anyway, I thought this was worth a second read, considering where the Sens are right now. Which is to say that we’re all playing an expectations game, and though I’m as likely to talk rebuild as anyone, that’s all in good fun. The Sens will be fine, and their season is far from over.
19.10.2010: In which we submit to Clouston’s master plan
15.10.2010: In which Mike Fisher scores twice, so you know who had $20 on the game…
Praise be his name, for he said, “Simplify thy game and get thee to the point. Kovalev, get thy slothfulness from mine eyes, for I name you Beast.”
12.10.2010: In which we realize that Leclaire is also to blame for our shitty offense and trapped Chilean miners
07.10.2010: In which we temporarily turn our attention to our uglier cousins in preparation for tonight’s Sensless season launch
