I don't know why, but I'm feeling irrationally confident about this game.

4-2 Sens.
Anderson plays out of his mind (possibly for the last time).
Andersen lets in a couple softies.
Leafs nation freaks tf out only for them to win 8 of their next 10.
Sens fans play the 'ol "maybe we're not so bad card" only to lose 8 of our next 10.

 

[SPF6ty9]

Sadistically enough I'm pretty excited for this game. Although the end result will likely be comparable to a colonoscopy. Put me down for 5-2 Leafs, with Connor Brown getting a revenge goal after Ceci accidentally takes out Rielly leading to a breakaway.

 

[Chabottawa72]

hoping for a win...but I really want Matthews to know who Sabourin is after tonight!!

 

[Engineer]

White #1C lol.

 

[DueDiligence]

The Sens unknowns lead by " what's your name" against "captain underpants" and his team of entitled brats!
Sens win 4-3. Babcock gets fired immediately after.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Over under on Leafs goals at 4.5

I take the over

 

[stempniaksen]

White #1C lol.

We've got Connor Brown at RW1 and Nikita Zaitsev at RD1 and you're worried about Colin White!?

 

[Emerica]

White #1C lol.

That top-6.

That defense.

 

[Icelevel]

That top-6.

That defense.

2 years of pain. A lifetime of gain. Just wait, FYOUS trains a comin

 

[Fandlauer]

Spezza a healthy scratch.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

White #1C lol.

We maybe have 2 above average NHL players and White is singled out.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

For this season I will consider not getting blownout a victory. I will also watch some of the games, mostly because I forgot Gamecenter auto-renews every season. Those f***ers.

Also the deadspin preview for this team is hilarious.

 

[hockey20000]

is spezza really a healthy scratch? babcock is seriously being a jerk to that guy since he signed there lol.

 

[Back in Black]

8 hours to g0

Zaitsev will destroy the Leafs tonight

That’s what that little Toronto boy gets for choosing the blue and white punks over the team that made him

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I kinda like that Anisimov line. That could be a good place for Drake to have a good rookie season.

Ottawa wins this one 5-4 with Ennis scoring the late winner. Matthew's scores 3.

its the end of his career.. its who he grew up cheering for I got no problem withhim signing with Toronto at this point..every player would love to play for the team u cheered when a kid.. babcock is being a complete jerk though all camp to him. and if he doesn't lethim play vs his ex team then even worse then I thought.

 

[HSF]

Spezza was done in Dallas

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

is spezza really a healthy scratch? babcock is seriously being a jerk to that guy since he signed there lol.

Dubas vs Babcock. If the leafs don't have a very deep run this year Babcock will be gone imo. Defense 1st on the 4th line is big with Babcock.

None of you are wrong Still, him as #1C is frightening.

 

[TheDebater]

Looking at that line-up, it is rather good on paper. It is not elite-contender by any means but if enough of the players bring their best most games, this team will not be as bad as most think.

I compare them to the 1999-2000 Senators, no real superstar had emerged (yet), Yashin was holding out and the team was led by Bonk as #1 centre, a fairly young Wade Redden, a still green Alfie, a sophomore Hossa, and a bunch of plugs to fill lines throughout. Bonk led the team with only 60 points that year but they still made the playoffs.

The issue with this team today is not the lack of individual skill (again not comparing to an elite team) but whether or not these guys can play up to their potential. If the answer is yes, this team will fight for a playoff spot all season; if not, well we know how that story goes.

 

[GrantLemons]

Spezza a healthy scratch.

We would have never.
