Sens fans WOES!!

Hey all,

I know it's been a while since my last contribution, but here I am, exhausted and all! ha!

Well, as a die-hard sens fan, I must say I am still completely in awe of how some fans are reacting to Murray's handling of signings and such! I'm just flabbergasted! People calling for his head! He's twiddling his thumbs and doing NOTHING! BLA BLA BLA!!

I think some of these fans should REALLY listen to how they sound...
This year's crop of UFA's were handed ludicrous contracts, and I for one am SO proud of Murray for not handcuffing the Sens with HUGE contracts and severely compromising their future success on the gamble of ONE player and his enormous salary. Trust me on this, those teams that blew their load on some of these contracts will be wishing they hadn't in a year or two...
Murray is a patient and calculating man, and he knows full-well how this hockey market works. I'm so glad he didn't rush in, because essentially our core are signed for years to come at amazing prices and really, that alone is worthy of a tip of the ol' hat!

Now, as for the Boyle rumors, well I personally would like nothing more than to see that hometown boy suit for the Sens. He brings his A game night in and night out, and we all know how badly the Sens need a gritty puck mover back into their fold.
I would hope the rumors (and there's a truckload of them out there) are proving true and that Boyle is seriously considering a return home, but if isn't meant to be, so be it. I'll go on the record though and say that if Murray loses out on Boyle, he better have Schneider or Bowmeester in mind next and land one of them!

So, all of you who are calling for Murray's head, I beseech you: please let this man do his job. He's a well-respected and tenured hockey man, and I assure you, he knows what he's doing.
Let's wait and see what Murray has up his sleeve before we parade him down Bank street and lynch him shall we?
