Would be interesting to see if these lines stick (minus Corvo in for Cowen). Very interesting top 9. I actually wouldn't mind if they kept a similar structure if Da Costa is playing...

Michalek - Spezza - Zibanejad
MacArthur - Turris - Condra
Conacher - Da Costa - Ryan

Schwing. Time to go into the Olympics on a high note.

 

[MainDotC]

Boston will crush us. Sorry but that's reality.

 

[Super Cake]

Anderson is in net.

 

[Max Power]

Boston will crush us. Sorry but that's reality.

Boston plays tonight and no Chara
If the Sens come to play they have a chance to win

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Really like Cony - Zib - Ryan

 

[melnyk budget*]

afternoon game vs boston

not wasting my afternoon on this one

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Last game before Olympics! Let's end it on a positive note, Sens.

Not sure about switching Michalek back to RW, chemistry can be a fragile thing. I would recall Stone for this one game and go with:

Mac - Turris - Condra
Michalek - Spezza - Stone <-
Conacher - Ziba - Ryan <- or flip Condra and Ryan
Greening - Smith - Neil <- no Kassian!

 

[Spez]

Anyone else scared they might play their backup? We made Johnson look good last time out and I hate to say it but I'd rather face Rask. He's been up and down for them lately and we did chase him last time.

 

[StefanW]

I really hate afternoon games, but there is a "no Chara" mojo in the air. I am hoping for the win, but guessing that we get a point out of it.

Hopefully Lehner starts this one. He is sot of our designated goalie against the Bruins, and for good reason.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Boston will crush us. Sorry but that's reality.

I agree with main dot sea.

 

[Max Power]

I didn't realize it was an afternoon game

I agree, sens lose. Have they even won an afternoon game this year?

 

[Back in Black]

No Chara, no win for the Bruins!

GO SENS GO!

Stay Classy Ottawa!

 

[General Zodd]

It's an afternoon game....****!!!!!!

We're going to get rolled again boys!!

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

This is going to be a tough one. But, we have to get those 2 points to stay int eh race for the wild card. Toronto is almost guaranteed to win against a Canucks team on life support.

No excuses. Just win.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Bruins have been excellent in afternoon games, but we need the win more so I feel the Sens will come into the game more focused.

Good luck to both teams though.

I am debating on whether to watch the game or not. Our awful record in afternoon games might keep me away from watching it.

Everytime there's a Carolina game I feel the same way, I just can't watch them. But most of our games against Boston are really fun to watch!

 

[WhiteLight*]

I like the lines actually. MacArthur - Turris - Condra = too much Corsi
will be fun

They are fun to watch, i just wish it was a ****ing afternoon game.

I may sound stupid, but what does "Corsi" mean?

 

[Disclose]
