GDT: Sens vs Jets|Feb 9th 2PM|CBC, RDS, Team 1200

[WebNewfie]

Taking my little guy to his first game today - can't wait! Go sens go!

 

[Daffy]

Not until the Ottawa television market grows 7-fold.

Lol it's beautiful today. Besides, they postponed the 67's game last night, and they are now playing tonight after the Sens game.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Anderson is starting again?

I wonder when Bishop will get another nod

 

[MainDotC]

I'll be streaming as usual. Bingo game at 7:05 too.

I'm in agreement. It's nice outside. And my kids have games this afternoon. I'm not watching a minute of the Sens game this afternoon. Though I would have liked to this evening.

Stupid CBC.

 

[littleD]

Stupid weather yesterday made me change plans so that I can't go to this game.

Are we now going to be saddled with Winnipeg every time there's a "special day" tripleheader? I guess the Ottawa Winnipeg markets are regraded by the CBC and the NHL as "leftover scraps" markets.

 

[SixthSens]

Bishop starting, O'Brien and Benoit out, K-Daug and Wiercioch come in:

Ottawa Senators ‏@NHL_Sens
It'll be Ben Bishop in goal today for the #Sens

Ottawa Senators ‏@NHL_Sens
Other lineup changes: Jim O'Brien and Andre Benoit are out, Kaspars Daugavins and Patrick Wiercioch are in. #Sens

 

[PatrickEaves]

We always seem to score alot against the Jets, after all the chances we had again Canes I hope we can continue like that.

That's because the Jets suck...

Also, oh wow, I did not know this was an afternoon game. Good thing I checked hf this morning.

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

Jets starting Montoya

 

[MainDotC]

Battle of the backups...on HDIC.

We're the two smallest Canadian markets, and we're always going head to head on Saturdays against the Leafs (who are a big draw against anyone) or the Habs (who are a big draw against anyone) for ratings. The only time we get 'primetime' on a triple-header day is if we're playing the Leafs or Habs.

So yes. We are the leftover markets. It sucks but that's the nature of business. I don't mind it one bit, to be honest.

 

[Deku]

Going to this one today. Go Sens go!

Agree. Biggest beef is it's almost the exact lineup from the opening day tripleheader 3 weeks ago. Mix it up!

 

[Slow Hands]

Looks like it's a Ben Bishop kind of day. Hope he's better than he was last time.

 

[Ouroboros]

I missed the Carolina game - was O'Brien bad? I've liked his game most nights this season so I'm sort of surprised he'd be scratched.

If Bishop bombs again tonight things could become pretty interesting...

 

[metalfoot]

For what it's worth, the feeling in these parts is that Ottawa is one of the big rivals to the Jets, conference-wise, so today's a big game. GO SENS GO!!!

OB started the overtime v Carolina. Just assumed Maclean was loving him.

Sure, they're like any other Eastern Conference team that could bump them out of a playoff spot. But when they've only co-existed for 5 years, I'd say "rival" is a stretch.

Jets fan here....we know we're gonna get thumped, not too much optimism in Jetsland. Be gentle

 

[metalfoot]

I'm just telling you the perception. Especially because of the Kane-Karlsson feud.

 

[Drama]

why is wiercioch not playing? he has been better then benoit, hasn't he?

also, i hope dacosta gets a shot on the second line

go sens goo <3

THAT's the defeatist attitude I like to hear out of my opponents!!

Well, good luck! And all the best up in the Interlake! (I'm down in the Pembina Valley)
