Oh ya. Hoff is done..maybe playoffs..Stone should be back in a couple wks..
Psst, Ottawa, don't forget to send Zibby back..lol
Richardson might need to start leaning on veterans like Cannone and DD to start putting up the points. Aside from that Prince, Da Costa and Pageau all have a lot of offensive skill and if Prince and Pageau step up their games Bingo should be fine.

Yeah we just lost an entire line with injuries to Hoff and Stone and Ziba's call up.
I think Darren Kramer and Louie Caporusso are still floating around down in Elmira, so that's 12. Might give Dustin Gazley another shot at the AHL too. Of course, there is always Chaz Johnson.
Actually no. It doesn't suck to be an AHL fan. This is when it is cool to be an AHL fan. WE still get to watch all of these players develop and move through the system. Sure I want to win and I want the best players out there. For some reason, even though we've lost so many players I still think we will be ok. I have faith in Luke Richardson's system and i think he has the player's buy-in.
I love being able to turn on the Ottawa Senators game and say I've watched 3/4 of the team play here in Binghamton. It's amazing how many players have been churned out. Anyone who can't see that, or thinks the affiliation isn't working is an idiot.
List of players on Ottawa Senators roster who have played in Binghamton:
Speeza
Neil
Condra
Daugavins
Greening
Smith
O'Brien
Regin
Zibanejad
Silfverberg
Karlsson
Cowen
Borowiecki
Benoit
Wiercioch
Bishop
Alfie
Lats
Michalek
Turris
Gonchar
Methot
Phillips
Lundin
16 or 24 players, or exactly 2/3 of the current roster. Impressive.

i will be honest, and i am not trying to troll, i am a rangers fan and dont really care how ottawa does with a couple exceptions:
1) dont make the playoffs and stock our roster
2) make the playoffs and win the cup and have a good chance of seeing the cup make a visit to binghamton
we havent had a good team since the last lockout, we werent even that good when we won the calder cup, backed into the playoffs and lehner got hot, and that buzz quickly wore off with a season that saw us as the worst in the league.
either way....that my opinion and this season still feels different, which is a good thing.
With Spezza under the knife and done he probably hits IR so a spot is open. I expect Zibanejad stays and eyes will be on DaCosta for a trial to see what he can bring to the show.
Can you imagine if Binghamton did not have the depth it does? It speaks volumes to what is going on with the BSens.
If Spezza is under the knife as some think will be announced today, who is the likely call up? I'm assuming Zibanejad will stick for a while.
Grant, DaCosta?
Da Costa most likely. He could slot right in as 2nd line center.
Aside from that if they decide to promote Zibby to 2nd line centre than one of Grant or DD could get a look. Both could fill a role on the 4th line and take over Zibby's spot on LW if he comes up to the 2nd line. I know DD plays LW and I'm pretty sure Grant can as well but I may be mistaken.

The depth has been depleted. There is no more to give and remain competitive.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – The Binghamton Senators announced today that forwards Dustin Gazley and Darren Kramer and defenseman Kyle Bushee have been added to the roster. All three join the B-Sens from the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.
Gazley, 24, has been recalled to the B-Sens for the second time this season. He was last recalled on Nov. 30, but did not dress.
The 5-9, 165-pound forward leads the Jackals, and ranks fifth overall in the ECHL, in points with 49 (14 goals, 35 assists) in 37 games.
Kramer, 21, has been reassigned by the club’s National Hockey League affiliate Ottawa Senators from Elmira to Binghamton. This is his third reassignment to the B-Sens this season. Kramer has appeared in one game for the B-Sens where he recorded no points, but amassed five penalty minutes.
The 6-1, 199-pound forward has skated in 19 games with the Jackals where he recorded 10 points (three goals, seven assists). He leads the Jackals, and is tied at ninth overall in the ECHL, in penalty minutes with 127.
Bushee, 27, has been signed to a professional try-out contract.
The 6-0, 190-pound defenseman leads all Jackals blueliners in points with 20 (six goals, 14 assists) in 40 games played this season.
Bushee spent the majority of the 2011-12 season with the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL where he recorded four goals and added 15 assists for 19 points in 57 games played.
He has also appeared in two games with the Norfolk Admirals this season. In total, Bushee has seen action in 14 career American Hockey League games with Manitoba, Norfolk, Portland and St. John’s.
The B-Sens return to action tomorrow as they visit St. John’s for the first of back-to-back games against the IceCaps. Game time is 6 p.m. Eastern. Fans can listen live on “Binghamton’s Classic Hits” BIG 107.5 (WBBI-FM) beginning 15 minutes before game time as Grady Whittenburg, the voice of the B-Sens, hosts the Countdown to Faceoff.
Would be interesting to look at Gazley. Also Caporusso is scoring some points in ECHL.
