GDT: Senators @ Maple Leafs| 7:00PM EDT| CBC, TSN1200

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Well Im not sure how the Leafs only had one penalty in that game, but it is what it is. The Sens had the lead and they let the game slip away. This one is on them.

Tired in the third in the second half of a back to back or not. Gotta have this one.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I would have put Ryan shooting first.. I mean why not?

 

[Super Cake]

The shootout just seems really unfair to me. Isn't hockey suppose to be a team game? Why end a game in a skills competition? It is totally unfair to some goaltenders and players to have shootouts. I wish they would get rid of it.

 

[The Expert]

Only thing worse than the refs was our team's performance. What the **** is it with Toronto, same old story, same thing as last year. Blowing a two goal lead late in the second period. Completely boneheaded, Phaneuf-like play by Methot on the tying goal to skate by the puck to take the man.

Thank god we got one point, after throwing the game away. The play after scoring the fourth goal was disgusting.

 

[testinz]

CBC is so pro-leaf.

 

[Hutz]

Use the refs if you want, god knows the calls were lopsided, but ultimately the Sens didn't play well enough... both teams have more to offer than what we saw tonight

And to reiterate what others said, 3/4 points isn't bad... I was hoping to .500 through our 6 game season starting road swing... we're already half way there

 

[Jot]

Karlsson and the 1st line didn't have a good game. When they aren't playing great you aren't going to win many games.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Spezza, Turris, and Mac were great.....

The rest were decent to bad

 

[PinkPanther]

Leaf fans coming on here are so typical...

 

[mcnorth]

This is a ****ing joke, how can a team have 6 pp's and the other only 1, but this is nothing new for us, the refs always seems to screw us. How many team can win a hockey game when the pp opportunities are 6 to 1 for the other team? To me this is a disgrace, the refs decided that they wanted Toronto to win and they did.

I don't think the count has to be even at the end of the game.

That said, there were a lot of ****** calls and non-calls. Poor officiating, 6-1 or 3-3 is unacceptable.

Poor play by the Sens, too. But the refs managed to tilt the ice and that's not right.

 

[Proust*]

Horrible effort.

Pretty much. They were playing shinny all game long.

Silver-lining: 1 line showed up tonight and we made it to the shoot-out.

 

[SenatorsHockey]

Refs handed the Leafs 6 powerplays while we got one, and watching the game there is no way that makes any sense. Had the reffing been consistent this would have never gotten to OT.

Eh, we all know it happens (not saying it's right) but the defensive coverage was pretty horrid all game long and just too many players were either non-factors or playing poorly. Aside from 5 minutes when the game was tied at 4, we played like balls.

I do recognize that's it's only 2 games in so hopefully these issues will sort themselves out.

 

[Huston]

Corvo certainly made sure he will not dress for our upcoming game.

What did he do?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Spezza, Turris, and Mac were great.....

The rest were decent to bad

Spezza disappeared in the third though, and his wingers followed suit(not that they were doing any better before that).

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

The refs missed a couple calls on Ottawa, and a couple calls on Toronto, mainly Conacher getting mugged in the final few minutes in the third.

I couldn't really give a **** about officiating this game, it's far more important that we learn how to play defense.

 

[6 Karlsson 5]

I think next game the top 6 should start

Conacher Spezza 9MM
MacArthur Turris Ryan

why would they break up the second line?

 

[John Holmes*]

The Sens stopped skating when they went up 4-2.

Every time they do that, they lose.

 

[TheOneArmedMan]

CBC is so pro-leaf.

No they are not. They always used to criticize us and Hughson is a Canucks lover.

 

[West Coast Eagles]

Wasn't Tim Peel reffing? No surprise we got screwed. We were less disciplined though

I don't think it's ever going to change. We've had enough turnover in personnel that it shouldn't be in the collective heads of the guys anymore.

Sad thing is, even though the guys were pretty brutal, it was a winnable game, if the damned refs would've called their little darling team for the penalties they deserve.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What did he do?

Zilch. And the few plays he attempted did not work out whatsoever. So obviously Gryba will get another shot before he does, imo.

 

[Yokai]

Seriously every single Ottawa Senator should just do spin-o-ramas every shootout until they remove it. Regardless if it works or not just spin spin spin spin.

 

[Blarginator]

Bright side is that we got a point even though we played like garbage. Also, that second line is great.

 

[danishh]

yep, no-one to blame but themselves. Defeat from the hands of victory, and all that.

 

[TheOriginalSilf*]

No they are not. They always used to criticize us and Hughson is a Canucks lover.

Yes, they are. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. This isn't even up for debate.
