This is the game that decides it folks.

Skinner gets the monkey off his back tonight

win and we are IN

 

[Onry]

Larsson is game time, why? Has he been sick, or is it "bye bye?"

I would imagine it's whatever plague is floating around the locker room.

Hope that's it. He's the last of the likely suspects mentioned around here I'd like to see gone.

 

[Duddy]

Smells like a huge let down game

 

[Onry]

Chris Phillips' #4 gets retired tonight. More juice for them.

Not to mention that it feels like we just haven't done well in Ottawa lately

 

[Buffaloed]

He didn't practice yesterday. They're calling it a maintenance day. He missed a game a couple weeks ago with a lower body injury.

 

[SundherDome]

We are lucky they just traded DeMelo, they won't be able to recover.

 

[EichHart]

4 pts for Eichel tonight. 6-2 win.

Puck not dropping until 7:52 is ridiculous. I know they often have 7:30 games, but why not just make this a 7:00 game with a delayed puckdrop if you're going to have a ceremony?

 

[The Blunder Years]

If you get NBCSN, you can watch a little bit of what will hopefully a penguins beat down on the leafs to pas the time.

 

[Buffaloed]

We need to return to the days when the Sabres and Sens were good, and the Leafs sucked. It's the natural order of things.

So long as ottawa isn't better than we are, i am game!

Wouldn’t be surprised if there was some money on the board for Ottawa for this game. I can see them coming out full of piss and vinegar.

Nice for me to get off work in Alaska

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Must win game.

 

[bigbenbuffalo30]

Felt like Jack always owned the Sens until this season. He’s due tonight. Sabres win 6-2, 2-2 from Jack.

 

[bigbenbuffalo30]

4 pts for Eichel tonight. 6-2 win.

Wow, I made the same prediction prior to seeing this. That’s gotta be a sign of good things, right? Right?!

Decides what? Whether or not you will renew your season tickets for next season?
