Season 11 Episode 4: What’s happening?
Would you say it's time for #Sens fans to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?
Do we revel in the impressive 4/5 wins at home, or do we panic on being outclassed and outplayed the last 3 games.
Do the #Sens need a coaching change? Do they need a roster change? Are these options even available anyway only 9 games in the season?
We are back after a second covid delay to discuss the past 7 games.
