Pre-Game Talk: Senators vs Boston | 7:30pm, Sportsnet East

[BonkTastic]

Bruins fan coming in peace. Very impressed with how your team is battling thru adversity. Too many teams just pack it in and play for a high draft pick. Hope you make the playoffs.

The Bruins aren't playing very physical right now. Technically very sound, and rarely out of position. But, not banging like you see in the playoffs. I think this was exposed a little bit in the game in Boston. Many posters confuse fighting with physical. Fighting someone once a game doesn't mean you're a tough, hard-nosed player. Finishing your checks and not turning away from them is physical. Playing hard for 60 minutes is the tougher player. Curious how the game develops tonight. Hoping the Bruins respond with some hits if it gets to be that type of game.

This is a point I have been trying to make for the better part of two years on the Sens boards, only to be tuned out.

Hopefully the same sentiment, echoed by a Bruins fan of all people, might be enough for the point to stick home a little more than usual.

Lehner was pretty good last game and we won; I'd assume he plays again.

Also, historically, Lehner's always played well against Boston

I hope we start Lehner. Because I love listening to the NESN guy say "Whadda save by Rabbin Lennah!"

 

[Upgrayedd]

Pumped up, got 100 level box seats for this one tonight....last time i went box Bish put up his god like performance against MTL, hoping Lehner can provide the same!

so true. that's basically the gist of the "toughness" thread on this board.

I'll be at this one as well.

My niece is a bit of a Bruins fan.

I'll bet she has a good night.

What was the last time we beat the Bruins?

Edit: better question: how many times have we beat them in the past 3 seasons?

Feb 28th, 2012 we beat them 1-0.

From 2009 till present we have gone 5-20 with them. Too lazy to take out losses and put them as OTL/SOL.

That site is pretty handy. Has all the games played between the clubs since 92. Seems to be a little slow on the updates for this season tho.

Michalek not a practice, Latendresse in his spot. Hopefully his knee isn't acting up although I have to admit, the idea of him playing despite possibly needing offseason knee surgery worries me.

Thanks for the info. That is a horrible record. Without Thomas around maybe we can turn it around.

Rather start Bishop so we can get his last 2 games in to keep his RFA status

go snes go

Awful GDT is awful.

It's true. PGTs don't make good GDTs.

Edit: Nice ninja edit attempt.

 

[Qward]

Never mind, Lehner is starting.

 

[danishh]

Does that mean lats is finally ready?

So why aren't you a better Uncle and making her a Sens fan?

If he only needs two games I don't see that as being a priority right now. He'll get those games soon enough.

He says he's ready to play.

Of all people, you should know that you can't make a girl cheer for one team over another.

On the phone, it doesn't have the prefix. All it says is "Senators vs Boston | 7:30pm, Sportsnet East"

Assumed it was the GDT.

I'll let it go because we work in the same mall. Don't do it again.
