043: The Sens Close Their Season-Opening Homestand With a Dud; Go West, Young Men

The Sens finish up their opening home stand with a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg. Not a good performance.  Colin White remains a conundrum. First rounder; young; big, long term contract...but he doesn't deserve top 6 minutes right now. DJ Smith wants White to work on a few things. NINE things! What's the latest on Tim Stützle? What's gotten into Nikita Zaitsev? Could Artem Zub add some more Russian magic to the blue line on the trip? He and Christian Wolanin will both get in at some point on this trip. Thomas Chabot had a fine home stand but closed with one of the worst defensive games of his young career. We discuss lineup possibilities and expectations for the road trip. Here's the lineup from Thursday's game: Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson Galchenyuk-Stepan-Dadonov Paul-Tierney-CBrown Paquette-White-Watson   Chabot-Gudbranson Rielly-Zaitsev Coburn-JBrown   Murray Hogberg
