2) Regin and Latendresse being "regulars"- unless he meant "regularly out of the line-up". Or, feel free to read through any GDT where they are playing, and track any comments that occur "regularly" that involve either.

1) Hyperbole. We currently have iced Benoit, Borowiecki, Grant, Dizzy, Gryba, Zibanejad, etc. The point is that we have no choice but to ice players who aren't particularly NHL ready or of NHL caliber.
2) Latendresse has gotten so much more hate than he deserves. It's irritating. He's an NHL player that was getting back into playing for the first time for pretty much over a year, if I'm correct. He's still an NHL player with NHL talent unlike several of the youngsters who we are currently dressing. Regin has shown some more flashes of great skill this season and has NHL experience that this injury-stricken line-up does not have. This team needs NHL players. These two are NHL players.
Players on the roster who have played at least one shift in the AHL this year:
Stephane Da Costa
Derek Grant
Jakob Silfverberg
David Dziurzynski
Mika Zibanejad
Patrick Wiercioch
Eric Gryba
Andre Benoit
Ben Bishop
Nine players, or enough to fill three full forward lines. Yes, I'd saying calling it an AHL team, while maybe unfair to the full-time NHLers, is accurate. Especially when you factor in the amount of recently graduated AHLers, too.

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE LA SPARKS
I never said we didn't have a lot of AHL guys in our line-up. We do. More than we should.
That being said, I personally would rather see the AHL guys play hard and get some experience that have to deal with the princesses on our team who can't go more than a couple games without being injured.
Regin can't play at the NHL level. It's really too bad but he just can't. As I said earlier it's not surprise that the 2nd game he starts trying hard he gets hurt. Before he was sucking because he was scared to go full throttle. We saw him do it for 2 days then he gets hurt again. I'm sure the guy is terrified of being injured yet again so he'll be taking it extremely careful if he ever makes it back.
The hate for lats is completely understandable. The dude gave an interview saying he was hoping for a nice long term deal LOL **** and try and play a full season. Why should he get any respect from ANYONE? He's done nothing for this team other than waste cause us to waste resources.
Let the AHL guys play or trade for someone else. Regin and Lats are not going to make this team better. On the contrary they will probably make it worse.

If Regin wasn't an NHL-level player, the coaches wouldn't keep playing him. Is he injury prone? Sure. So are plenty of others.
Lats... the guy has played five ****ing games with us. How about you give him a few more games before deciding that he's a waste of resources?
The hyperbole in this fanbase is so ****ing stupid.

At one point in his career was he at the NHL level? Ya sure. He is anymore? **** no. The guy needs to stop before he really gets hurt and his whole life is ruined. He won't be signed by Ottawa next season, I'll be shocked he if gets offered more than $1 million from any other team.
Lats. Exactly. You are proving my point. He played 5 games. That's all he could muster. Sad in a way but without a doubt very wasteful.

Yeah, I got the gist of what JH was saying- call it hyperbole if you like, but there was a lot about the post that wasn't accurate. To qualify those 2 players as NHL calibre is one thing. To call them "regulars" in our line-up is laughable.

Whenever both have been healthy they've played during their careers with the senators. What else would u call them?

Matter of opinion, but we both seem to be pretty set in our beliefs here. Agree to disagree. I think he has more left in him

This, however, is just ridiculous. Spezza could only muster five games this year. That's all he could play in the NHL this year before getting an injury. What a scrub, right?

Spezza was also top 5 in scoring last year which allowed him and Karlsson to drag this team into the playoffs on their backs.
I don't understand the correlation between the two. Lots of players get injured. I'm not saying you can't get injured but when you are back you better *****ing perform.

How many qualifiers need to accompany the word "regular" as it applies to our line-up?
Latendresse and Regin, both when playing, still make us a better team with a better chance to win compared to the lineup we ice currently. Them coming back is a good thing, not a bad thing, if they do indeed come back.

Ok so pare that down to those who have played in the A since the NHL has started up again.
What the eff.
