[Super Cake]

Will be interesting to see how our young guys play. Especially White.

Other than that, i have no expectations for this game.

Would be cool if we won and got 100 points though.

 

[edguy]

I hope Neil plays. It will likely be his last NHL game, and id love to see him take the ice one more time.

 

[starling]

Actually the game is still pretty relevant. If we win it we could lose a couple of draft spots. Teams pay 3rd or 4th rounder to go up 2 spots whereabout we are going to pick in the first round.

 

[dumbdick]

Could affects leafs playoff hopes.

 

[Clamshells]

Win to get 100 points or lose to potentially knock leafs out? I'm torn.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Win to get 100 points or lose to potentially knock leafs out? I'm torn.

Honestly a loss is totally cool. It could bring us a slightly higher draft pick (by 1-2 spots), could knock the Leafs out AND doesn't effect our place as #2 in the Atlantic.

100 pts is cool... but I like the above option.

 

[MarkStone]

Hopefully the Islanders win tonight and the Leafs lose so Don Cherry can be really salty during tonight's broadcast about us likely sitting out a bunch of players tomorrow.

 

[dumbdick]

Yeah. I say let's ice a silly roster. Defence on forward. Echl goon call ups etc.

I'm not torn, I want the SENS to play the Leafs in the 1st Round, and then Cherry can be salty!!!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

From Garrioch:

Karlsson won’t be the only one sitting Sunday. Goalie Craig Anderson, forwards Mark Stone, Viktor Stalberg, Kyle Turris and Mike Hoffman and defenceman Dion Phaneuf all appeared to be staying home.

That meant Chris Neil, Chris DiDomenico, Colin White and Jryki Jokipakka should dress for the game against the Islanders along with reinforcements from Binghamton of the American Hockey League.

Let's have fun making up the lines for tomorrow.

MacArthur - Brassard - Burrows
Pyatt - Pageau - Dzingel
Didomenico - Kelly - Neil
White - Varone - Bailey (or Paul - White - Bailey)

Claesson - Ceci
Harpur - Wideman
Boro - Jokipakka

Condon

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Hopefully White gets a lot of ice time.

 

[aragorn]

I hope Neil plays. It will likely be his last NHL game, and id love to see him take the ice one more time.

Me too, he should have played today in front of his home town fans for his last game.

Lines for tomorrow:

Hoffman - Brassard - Dzingel
DiDomenico - Pageau - Pyatt
Stalberg - Wingels - Akeson/Varone
Paul - White - Neil

Claesson - Ceci
Jopipakka - Harpur
Englund - Wideman

Condon

Condon

Hoffman is going to be resting as well.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Hate that we will be screwing hoffman out of a chance to pad the Stats buy happy we will likely draft a Lil higher if we lose. I'll be straight up cheering for the isles if this game determines the leafs playoffs

Refs doing what they can for Toronto - nice phantom trip call on Archibold.

 

[Super Cake]

With the way the Isles are playing, this game could get ugly.

Hope Condon steals a win.

Wow loser mentality!

We are minimum making the third round so we are drafting 28th, 29th, 30th or hopefully 31st!

Are you telling me it is too late to tank for a top 5 pick?

 

[TankForDaigle]

I think we should aim to lose and increase our chances of a higher draft pick. Who knows, maybe we can draft the next Colin White!

 

[dpw]

Since this is an official nothing game I would rest Burrows, Brassard, Ceci and Boro as well.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I wonder if we are willing on resting Condon too just to avoid injury and give Dreidger his first NHL start.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Since this is an official nothing game I would rest Burrows, Brassard, Ceci and Boro as well.

I'd let Boro play. He can pad his stats. Hits and in particular blocks.

He's also gotta be out there protecting our kids.

 

[Sens Rule]

I wonder if we are willing on resting Condon too just to avoid injury and give Dreidger his first NHL start.

We could play the whole game with an EN and lose 45-8.

 

[Super Cake]

Well this game will be meaningless for both the Sens and the Islanders.

Islanders might be too heartbroken to even try.

Lets go for the win.
