The Senators' 6-1 rout of the Red Wings on Wednesday night at Joe Louis Arena.

Senators beat Red Wings in first game vs. Alfredsson

**I think Babcock is going to have to split up Datsyuk and zetterberg for a while. None of the Wings' lines except the fourth line seem to have any kind of chemistry. I would like to see something like Datsyuk/Bertuzzi/Alfredsson and Zetterberg/franzen/Weiss. Or you could even do a swedish five lineup with Zetterberg/Franzen/Alfie with Kronwall and Ericsson on D. Abdelkader and cleary on the third line I guess. Or

**he said he won't and i think he shouldn't. it's gonna take some time for weiss to get it together it's a brand new coaching system and he's obviously not used to it yet. keeping tatar on that second line is working. if that third line of cleary-mule-alfie can start getting better then the team can finally be deeper

**Bitter-sweet game since I have Spezza on my team. This would have been the game that I would have been ok with him slowing down his scoring haha. But great game by the Sens. Hopefully the next ones are a lot closer.

**Stahp it Gustavsson, how am I supposed to compliment the Sens for taking us to school when you're staring holes into my soul?!

**Does it really matter who will play for the team canada? Canada will win the olympics even if their team is combined from the worth NHL fourth-liners, the gap between canada and other teams is just unreal...

**Having heard many times about Datsyuk's, Zetterberg's and Alfredson's excellency I decided to watch this one. Well, it's hard to find a word to describe my disappointment. Wings were helpless.

**Corporations buy out a lot of those lower bowl seats and then either can't give the tickets away, or the people just don't show up. Most likely cause it's in the middle of the week. It's a lot more full on weekend games.

**Anyone notice the East Conference Standings? can someone explain the play off picture to me the Atlantic has 6 of the top 8 in there Division but doesn't the top three in each make it or something?

**Atlantic is Cleary the strongest Division just curious how it works? really isn't fair to have 4 original 6 in the same division to and 5 of them in the east.

**Yup...heard top 3 of each division will lock the playoffs >( That gives Philly a fighting chance to make the playoffs while MUCH stronger clubs in the Atlantic could get booted out. Such a dumb system, should have removed the automatic clinching for divisions all together!

**So glad Alfie is gone too, he has been slowing us down the last few years in the playoffs, he had no belief in the Senators to win the cup, Spezza has more Heart then Alfie and is a better leader on and off the ice for the younger players on the team.

**He had no faith in our team, last year he even said it in a interview that they can't win against the Pens. That's not what captains do buddy they have to say the opposite. and the year before in the playoffs he through a big temper tamptrum during the Rangers series knowing that they couldn't win. so glad he left wheew

**Good game for the Sens if we play like we did last night in the playoffs we have a good chance at the Cup, i was not impressed by the Red Wings last night. Wings are overrated Sens and leafs are both better, we got more depth in our forward line up and have more heart then the wings wheew go Sens Go

**Love the Sens but there is still quite a bit of work to do. I see their potential a lot, i.e. tonight, but the consistency is definitely not there. Every season there are improvements though, so being a Cup contender is definitely in the near future unless someone up top messes it up.
