Why the Ottawa Senators Suck on the road

Think its a coincidence, the Ottawa Senators lose to Buffalo, yet another game with Emery starting in goal? This abomination 4-2 to the Buffalo Sabres.
Look at the numbers Emery has now played in 4 games and has lost his last two starts, allowing 4 goals in each loss.
What a difference a year makes, last year he was claimed to have brought the Sens to the cup.
YET this year Emery has yet to make that BIG save to keep his team in a game while it was Martin Gerber in the same position last year. Did you see that Blue line blast on him. Looked to me like Emery was caught napping.
There is no doubt in my mind that Emery is struggling with his confidence but why is that the Senators have come out flat when Emery has started?
I just don’t think the Sens want to play for him
Ok Yes, there were defensive breakdowns and mistakes that cost the Sens goals. After such a complete game on Monday night Against Montreal, Ottawa played like they did on Saturday night in Toronto.
I think this is a great discussion question for all you Sens and hockey fans in general.

Are you mental? What are you whining about? The Sens are at the top of the division, conference and league as of this post. Emery has been outstanding, and while Ottawa has not been “perfect”, no team is. I wonder why any fan of that team would use the word “suck” when they’re #1. Wait until they slip, of Emery loses the Sens the Stanley Cup by letting in weak goals before you blame him for anything. What you brought up is nothing more than coincidence. No NHL team on earth would “not play” for their goalie.
At home they are 10-2-0.
Away they are 6-2-0. This record “sucks” ?! This is the best road record in the NHL.
Unless this blog is from last year, you are smoking something funny.

I figured this might stir up so crap But comon, Emery has played 4 games and lost 2 of them, Gerber on the other hand has played what? 15 games and lost 2. I’m guessing you didn’t watch their last game, shades of Toronto, seriously. Dont get me wrong the Sens are my Team but I don’t just don’t feel that they are “playing” for or with emery. Did you not see the the 3rd goal, where were the Defense? on the backside of emery not playing the puck or the body, they were waiting for it to fly behind emery and then try to grab it. And they HAVE LOST the last 2 of 3 on the road.
