OTTAWA INSIDER

Ottawa, ON:
What does Ottawa need to improve on to become better overall? Sitting at 9-9-6, its obvious that they need better goaltending. Lehner, who is in AHL, has a record of 15-3-1. Why is he not in the NHL you ask, simply because we do not have a 2-way contract with Bishop. We have to keep in mind that everyone in B-Sens is playing with greatness. Look for the Senators to call up some of the local boys.
Latendress and Spezza both are florishing for the sens. Latendresse scores every couple games, while Spezza lands major assists. If the right offer comes along, Bishop might be traded.
