Fisher/Alfie is the new one, but it used to be Spezza/Alfie. Remember when everyone thought it was only Heatley/Spezza? Now, Michalek/Spezza as well. Throw in a maturing Foligno and an always dangerous Kovalev and we're starting to get the offense to where we want it to be. Now....about that defense...

Finness and puck handling paired with speed tenacity and net drive. If the Sens get Kovalev going, combined with Volchie back in a week or so, and the Sens have a legitimate shot at first in the division. Throw in some goals from Cheechoo and look out Eastern Conference. I’m really liking the mix of Michalek-Spezza and Fisher-Alfie. Finness and puck handling paired with speed tenacity and net drive.

I really think Spezza is helping Michalek do his thing. Having those top two lines as legitimate threats allows one of those lines enough space to be effective since most teams don't have enough top end shutdown guys to stop both lines.

Kovalev's such an underrated passer. Mind you, just as we say this, it appears Spezza may return Thursday (yay). Yeah Clutch, that’s what I was thinking as well. Kovalev’s such an underrated passer.

We need to move Kovalev off that line. Michalek needs a talented puck handler to feed him pucks. With Spezza out it only makes sense to do this. The duo of Fisher and Alfie will be fine with Foligno. It's Michalek that needs some help and I think Kovalev is just what the doctor ordered. I agree with you on this one. We need to move Kovalev off that line.
