I think the team is weaker this year. Last year a huge part of Canada's success came from the Heatley-Getzlaf-Nash line, and Getzlaf and Nash are in the play-offs, for now...but none the less,Go Canada Go!..and the 4 Senators that made the roster!

i agree that the roster is weak this year. I love there defense. I find that there goalies are weak. you must be very happy that there is 4 sens on the roster lol.
plus this give Stevie Y some players that he can judge players for 2010.

Well, im happy, but the fact they're on the roster means that the Sens didn't make the play-offs.  |

Yeah, Well im confident in Roloson. Harding isn't a bad back-up either.

I hate Roloson. Harding is a great goalie since he played with the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL. llol.

I like the D a lot... that's about it.
The offense definitely isn't as dangerous as last year, but still pretty deep. I'm not sure what to expect from the goalies, I guess we'll see.

I would have liked Jay Boewmeester instead of Ian White on D.

White played surprisingly well this year.
That being said, for sure having J-Bo on the team would've been nice, same as Lecavalier, but I think he has some injuries.

one reason that white was on the team is because he can play forward.

Exactly, the Leafs used him a lot like the Habs used Streit last season, he excelled at both positions.
