ECF Game 1 | Senators @ Penguins | 7:00 PM ET | NBC CBC SN TVAS

[flaneur]

Doubt this is the final line-up for tonight. Couldn't readily find info on Ottawa injuries (i think the Pens board may be the only board with a running injury thread )

LGP!

Edit: alright Ogrezilla. changed the ketchup from Heinz to French's funny enough, there was a mild controversy earlier this year about Heinz vs French's ketchup up here in Canada.

Nice. Honoring Kessel like that. <j/k>

Go Sens. Looking forward to an exciting opening game.

 

[KPower]

8-2 pens

 

[playasRus]

Ketchup > Mustard.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

13 to 12, Pens

Melnyk launches another investigation

 

[jedisports]

8-2 pens

I wish.

Thanks for the new thread!

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Statement game tonight, from one team or the other. Pens come out and show why they're the cup favorite, or sens come out and show they're for real. 5-2 score.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Horrible call.

Was a dive.

 

[Fugazy]

4-2 Penguins.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I doubt Neil plays. I think Boucher will go Wingels or Dzingel.

Yeah it should be Dzingel for his speed.

 

[Korpse]

8-2 pens

did your 7-2 prediction from 15 minutes ago not get the reaction you were looking for?

You're getting lit up Craig, tell Condon to be ready.

I guess Crosby's also fair game.

 

[Flamingo]

Hagelin's in? I thought he was suspended for all playoff games vs the Senators for life.

 

[Punchbowl]

I'm offended we have been designated the 'ketchup' in this match-up.

Yes, we are clearly the inferior product, but to compare us to an outright affront to taste? You go too far.



Hoping for a good game! I feel there is no team in the league that is a worse match-up for the Senators than the Penguins in Pittsburgh -- last change means the Pens can exploit our sluggish defence and their speedy depth is absurd. Cullin and Hagelin on the fourth line? A shaky Anderson in net?

I'm hoping it's a close one, but fearing a 3-goal spread.






... Couldn't we have been a hot sauce?

Shocking strategy isn't it? Everyone playing is fair game. Targeting players that can hurt you is pretty standard no?

What do you expect? "We're going to give him as much time and space as possible."

I very much hope there are no injuries in this series. It's a shame any time a player (star or otherwise) goes down.

So they're not planning on giving him as much time and space as he needs? Oh noes.

4-2 Ottawa

If a tomato is fruit then ketchup is jam... We got the JAM baby!

I actually like this strategy from a Sens POV.

1. They will go extra hard on the stars if EK is targeted.

2. Good luck catching EK for 30 mins.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Horrible call.

Preemptive whining, excellent!!

Beat the rush. I'm in.

Go PENS!

Ketchup is the pinnacle of condiments

I think you're really trying too hard to read something malicious into this. That was a standard answer.
Sullivan's Pens have never tried to chase hits and won't start doing it now.
