Anton Forsberg has the NHL's 3rd best save percentage since January 1st. He pretty well HAS to stay, doesn't he? Is Matt Murray unhappy being an Ottawa Senator? The Sens aren't going to be too excited about paying a THIRD player $8 million. Will Josh Norris talks drag Into next season? Thomas Chabot is dinged up again. Is Adam Gaudette a better right wing option than Tyler Ennis? Parker Kelly continues to impress. Craig Anderson wins his 300th career game, the 6th American to do so. Can you name the others? And would Andy still have been handy had they kept him around the last 2 seasons? Is the Sens attendance a concern yet?

We're joined in this one by winger Drake Batherson. We discuss a little about his hockey past, and get an update on the present as he rehabs a high ankle sprain. We also get his take on a weird weekend in Arizona and Vegas. DJ Smith wasn't happy with the way the Vegas game ended but was glad to see the club rebound and play much better. As they near the 56 game mark, the Sens current record is actually well off the pace of last season. And Matt Murray is back on the injured list again? What next??!!

Steve thinks it's time for the NHL to start experimenting with ways to amp up the NHL's entertainment level. Nick Holden finds some offensive push. Is Anton Forsberg going to be re-signed?
