Show up and shut up

"Shut your yaps.

That's the message from Senators coach Cory Clouston after his club woke up Monday as the most penalized team in the NHL at 20.2 minutes per game (277 PIMs through 14 games).

TSN's Pierre McGuire said last week the Senators are whining too much to the officials.

McGuire, who has a perch between the benches during games, said officials can tune out players if they're constantly complaining.

Whether Clouston agrees with McGuire, the coach told his players in a meeting to show up and shut up."

Looks like their discipline issues have gotten the better of them - Lacking Heatley's scoring, as well as Spezza's "disapprearance", and Volchenkov's recent injury haven't helped the Senators win any games, either.

Seems they will continue to struggle, until the team-culture changes.

Could be that Clouston finds himself in the hot-seat, very soon.

Can we add things said by Pierre McGuire to the Eklund status?

No; because McGuire is actually around the game. No one is as low on the food chain as "He who shall remain nameless."
