Pre-Game Talk: Senators @ Lightning, Amalie Arena 7:00 pm Hockey Night In Canada

[starling]

It's been going on for 2-3 years now.

Except we still used to create more than we gave up.

 

[Micklebot]

Is there ever an I info graphic of where shots are taken?

If we were pushing shots to the walls, I'd feel better.

Legwand's 1000th game tonight

Lately he has been playing like it's his 1000th game of the season...

 

[JBucephalus]

Should not be difficult to improve upon the effort they gave yesterday. Also hoping to see Mika come out with some fire after having a seat.

 

[DylanSensFan]

im interested in what the lines are going to be then, i guess zibby is sticking at C

mac-turris-chiasson
hoffman-zbad-greening
condra-legwand-neil
michalek-lazar-stone

if we are going based of practice

hopefully coach swaps it up so stone is on line 1, chiasson on line 2 and greening on 4th line

They are trying hard to book Greening a ticket out of Ottawa.

oh i fully understand that, and i wouldnt mind if they gave greening some pp time, but ffs we cant afford to give away points and eventually we need to let our best players play the most so we can win and pick up some much needed points

 

[krapsik]

Anything less than blowout would be positive.
Go Sens Go !!!

 

[aragorn]

MacArthur - Turris - Chiasson
Hoffman - Zibanejad - Stone
Greening - Lazar - Michalek
Condra - Legwand - Neil

 

[Alex1234]

MacArthur - Turris - Chiasson
Hoffman - Zibanejad - Stone
Greening - Lazar - Michalek
Condra - Legwand - Neil

At least lthe 19 yo can learn from good veterans on his line

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Please put Stone back on the top line.

Mac-Turris-Stone
Hoffman-Zib-Chiasson
Michalek-Lazar-Condra
Greening-Legwand-Neil

The new GSN (GLN) as the fourth line, except Legwand is better than Smith

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Long overdue.

Word. At least MacLean showing balls now. Scratching Milo and then Smith are huge statements. No veteran is safe anymore.

Please put Stone back on the top line.

For the love of all things good, please this.

Lol. I thought he would bring more to the table too. Unfortunately, it looks like this season is riding on Zibanejad stepping up, and it isn't looking good at this point.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Expecting Mika to embarrass the coaching staff tonight

Expecting Mika to embarrass the coaching staff tonight

i really hope so, someone needs to ****ing step up

 

[Alex1234]

So Condra stays in...good. We'll need him on PK tonite, maybe shadow Stamkos?!

zone coverage on pk is a must

 

[jbeck5]

I don't get why he doesn't move his legs. He literally doesn't take strides. And when he does, he takes extremely slow, extemely weak strides. I watched him on Nashville even as recently as last year and the year before and its a night in day difference in not only his speed, but his effort in his skating.

 

[dumbdick]

Is Andy starting again?

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Is Andy starting again?

Nope Lehner in. I don't think any coach could justify starting a goalie after he got shelled with 46 shots yesterday.

Unfortunately sitting did not light a fire under Michalek. So, I am not sure it will work with Zibanejad.

I think the Senators are going to look worse tonight. tampa is likely going to school them.

Just like Tampa schooled us last time. Just like St Louis schooled us on tuesday

 

[Super Cake]

Go Sens Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cosmix]

Is "hockey night in canada" a sportnet thing now? because this game is being broadcast on sportsnet not CBC?

It is my understanding that Rogers has the rights to the national games and produces them using its own staff. Rogers has an agreement with CBC that permits CBC to broadcast the games on the CBC network. All advertising revenues go to Rogers. I belive CBC may run a few promo ads for their own programs during the games. That is my understanding.

I hope not but I am getting that feeling. Senators played last night and played very poorly. Ryan, one of the Best Senators players is injured and out. Methot is still out. Tampa is one of the better teams in the league and on a two game winning streak. Ottawa seems to be in disarray. I don't like the odds tonight.
