​

Tonight's game is a tale of two teams trending in totally opposite directions. The Senators have sat in last place in the Atlantic Division pretty much all season yet they saved some of their best hockey for the back half of the season. Since Jan. 18, the Senators have boasted the third best record in the NHL with a 9-3-3 record in that span and taking some of the league's elite to the wire and pulling out some dominant victories.​

PROJECTED LINEUP

Tkachuk - Pinto - Tarasenko
Joseph - Stutzle - Giroux
Grieg - Norris - Batherson
Kubalik - Kastelic - Kelly

Sanderson - Zub*
Chabot - JBD
Chychrun - Brannstrom

Forsberg starts

*Note: JM said there would possibly be some gametime decisions on D, most likely with Zub(LBI).

“We’re getting good goaltending right now”

I know sometimes the nuances/tone are lost in a second language, but he speaks the truth!

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Zub out, not good.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Zub out, not good.

Hamonic in Worse

Sanderson JBD
Chabot Brannstrom
Chychrun HamoNMC

 

[DrEasy]

Zub out, not good.

What was I saying earlier today? Hamonic will still get plenty of opportunities to play... Injuries are a fact of life in Sens land, and more generally in the NHL.

 

[WallyD]

I'll start with a positive... Because it is an away game for Vegas, I don't think we have to suffer those dumb gold helmets!

 

[DrEasy]

Great, the game is not showing on my cable package, nor on the Sportsnet app. Off to the underbelly we go! I hate Rogers so much.

 

[DrEasy]

I guess I'll get to avoid the "home", i.e. the TBC broadcast.

 

[SanderSen]

I tried to explain them to my spouse, but finally pulled up a youtube video. She bust a gut laughing at them. They are a beauty Lego minifig chrome gold.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

f*** it’s an automatic loss since the ice terrorist is back in.

 

[salomonster]

Why do I pay for Fibe?

It's saturday.
The game is on SN1

WTF

Anybody have the free stream?

 

[WallyD]

Hamonic in Worse

Sanderson JBD
Chabot Brannstrom
Chychrun HamoNMC

Yikes! In recognition of the opponent I would say Vegas odds just changed substancially! That 3rd pairing will likely result in lots of headless chicken (Chyckrun?) scrambling given his frenzied partner. Not a pariing I like to see. Chych is fine with the right partner(s).

 

[Slippy]

You would think they could at least broadcast it on CBC Ottawa.

 

[NyQuil]

Lyndon Slewidge is awesome.

 

[UglyPuckling]

What was I saying earlier today? Hamonic will still get plenty of opportunities to play... Injuries are a fact of life in Sens land, and more generally in the NHL.

So, true and it seems to pointless to think that a team won't have injuries, regardless of the team pretty much. You just need depth and the next man up mentality to have any kind of success.

 

[Alex1234]

Kastelic was gentleman on that one

 

[mianjo]

Great, the game is not showing on my cable package, nor on the Sportsnet app. Off to the underbelly we go! I hate Rogers so much.

it's on Rogers 99

 

[Micklebot]

Good start,

 

[Micklebot]

Lol at Kastelic hitting the ref

 

[mianjo]

down 1-0

 

[DrEasy]

it's on Rogers 99

I don't have it, I'm not rich like you!

 

[JackieDaytona]

Damn.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Sanderson the only D in the line up that can play reliable defence

 

[NyQuil]

Stutzle with a weak play.

Goalie lets in a backhander from the slot.

 

[DrEasy]

A goal on less than 5 shots, what else is new...
