I'm one of those guys who defends Ceci from the mob when he plays bad, but his play last night deserves a ton of criticism.

He was legitimately bad. Deserves the hate.

SENS only allowed 1 goal against last night. How bad could he have been?

He was very bad. Goals against is not a good indicator of an individual dman's performance.

Go Sens go!

We got dis.

Need to win this. I think there is a good chance the Rangers win both in New York. Do NOT want to come back for Game 5 facing elimination. Gotta keep home ice advantage.

Easy W

 

[Samboni]

I hope 19000+ show up to watch.

 

[Tuna99]

Rangers throw everything they have at us - OT game.

Burrows with the winner.

Sens 4-3

16W - 5W = 11W

 

[Alex1234]

Gotta keep the pressure on with a win here

They are going to push back ferociously

Gotta weather the first 10 minutes storm

Stone has to score here

Anderson shutout incoming

GO SENS GO

 

[GWNR]

Win.

 

[playasRus]

Lineup prediction: Boro draws in.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

It would be great to win both at home!

 

[tony d]

Should be another good game. I expect us to win Game 2 to go up 2-0. Also hope it's a sellout.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Lineup prediction: Boro draws in.

Let it go

 

[Jerrico]

I haven't been this excited about the team in many years! Go Sens go!

Side note: am I the only one getting sick of the whole antiquated "home ice advantage" narrative? ie, when people say things like "oh, we stole one on the road" or "You're not in trouble until you lose a game at home?" WTF does that even mean? Ottawa was a BIT better at home than on the road this season, and the Rangers were significantly worse at home. To me there is virtually zero advantage either way.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Lineup prediction: Boro draws in.

I'd say Pyatt... comes in but who goes out? Wingels? He's played well every game he's been in. Dzingel ... ?

Boro I guess its possible but If Pyatt's coming in that's enough change imo.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Should be another good game. I expect us to win Game 2 to go up 2-0. Also hope it's a sellout.

I hope so... I just want to see them give us a repeat performance of game 1

 

[Super Cake]

Keys to winning this game:

Don't let in more goals than the Rangers.

Dzingle better not come out. We need his speed and its not like he is a liability defensively. We can use his flair, he handles and puck well, make great passes, actually controls the play in the offensive zone and can show great patience and poise with the puck. Something we can use in the bottom six if he isn't scoring, but if he gets hot then he is very capable of stringing together a couple games where he produces. Has 2 points in his last 2 games, now.

 

[SawyerFord]

Game 2 is sold out

 

[PatrickEaves]

The only time we've ever gone up 2-0 in a playoff series.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Lets win it baby. Will be huge.

 

[Jerrico]

I expect the lineup to remain the same. Our bottom 6 is playing too well to consider shaking up. The only change I could see happening would be Boro coming in, and I think that would be a mistake.

 

[phillyknuckles]

I could see Boro making an appearance because you know the Rangers are going to come in banging tomorrow. But man, if it ain't broke...

Glad he picked it up. I wanted him out of the top 6 but he was great last game. Needs to keep it up. New Yorks defenceman isn't as punishing as the Rangers so he needs to keep skating through them
