Pre-Game Talk: Sens at Avs

[Slack]

Watch this board go into full meltdown mode if we lose with Spezza in the lineup.

We all know why the next game could go wrong... lack of Kaptaincy.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Colorado is definitely beatable. I'd say we have a good chance. Sucks to wait until Wednesday though.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Would be nice if we kept the same lines since, you know, we've won 4 in a row? I guess Mr. Turnover has to come back at some point though.

Is this game on TV?

Remember when they kept Methot out when he was healthy. How'd that work out? You shouldn't lose your spot to injury.

Oh good a west coast trip.

 

[SENSational Sens Fan]

Calgary wins 4-3. If the Flames can score four goals and beat them, I don't see why we can't.

 

[Qward]

Oh good a west coast trip.

More specifically Central. We have 9 games left against central, 4 against pacific teams.

right now we are 2-2-1 against central teams.

Much easier playing at 8 instead of 10

We hadn't won 4 in a row when we scracthed Methot
Methot is our best defensive defenceman. no reason he should ever be a healthy scratch
Spezza sucks

I'm not eager to see Spezza come back and mess with the chemistry, but let's be real here, he was never going to be a healthy scratch. I'm just glad Maclean isn't messing with the lines too much just to cater to the captain.

Yeah, I'm just kidding around mostly. I didn't expect to see Spezz be a healthy scratch either. I guess I'm just frustrated with his play this year.

 

[Super Cake]

I want to see a coach fight. Paul Maclean vs. Patrick Roy

 

[Karl Cowensson]

Very happy to see Maclean keep those 3 lines together, and a lot of us have wanted to see Spezza and Stone play together so here's out chance. Both Stone and Smith have been playing well the last few games, and while speed isn't going to be great with that line, the size and skill should make up for it. Having two big bodies might help Spezza create enough time and space to work his magic as well.

We need a Captain that can point......

 

[YNWA14]

We're on a 4 game win streak with a very inconsistent team, playing against a team that has played much better than us.

There are two scenarios that can play out tomorrow.

1) We win, but all credit is given to everyone but Spezza (we'll ignore that the team has been playing this way since before he was injured) and we'll have won despite him being in the line-up.

2) We lose, and all blame will be placed on Spezza rejoining the line-up (because every player on the team forgets how to play when he's on the ice).

Looking forward to this one!

Stone Hands Kelly in awe of the Big Rig's epic puck handling skills.

 

[83DIZ65]

Projection if we win this game the zibby line scores the turris line scores and the spezza line scores twice.... Plus I think e.k.65 burries one tonight. I have a feeling....last time i made a projection like this was the winnipeg game and i was spot on........so here goes.

In any event GO SENS GO!!!!!!

Spezza find your form again. I miss loving you brah.

 

[Tragedy]

Go to Sens TV on the official site and see the post practice interview. It's like he's half joking, but I'm not sure. Sounded passive aggresive to me but i could be way off.

After watching the interview, I think some people are looking too hard for a negative haha. It sure seemed like he was just joking about how people criticize his line juggling. He even made a quip about how the 4th line played pretty good last game and "at least I get to change up one line that is doing good"

 

[StefanW]

This game is a coin toss. The Sens can't keep winning forever and may be due for a letdown game, and the Avs are a very strong team. But if the Sens keep playing well they have the potential to beat anyone right now.

I'm calling an OT game on Wed.

You realize Karlsson leads the league in turnovers.

 

[sensrmyheart*]

Will "The Mars Volchenkov" be cheering for the Sens?

Here we go again:

Sylvain St-Laurent ‏@Syl_St_Laurent 14m
Les trios: Greening-Spezza-Stone, MacArthur-Turris-Ryan, Conacher-ZBad-Michalek, Kassian-Smith-Condra. Pageau et Neil

I wouldn't be surprised if MacArthur starts with Spezza tomorrow

 

[YNWA14]

I like it. We need Kassian in there for more wins.

 

[Qward]

I would prefer

MacArthur/Turris/Ryan
Conacher/Zibanejad/Michalek
Greening/Spezza/Stone
Kassian/Smith/Condra
Pageau
