Pre-Game Talk: Washington vs SENS, Thursday 7:30 pm on TSN

[Sens of Anarchy]

What's interesting is this flies in the face of those saying that Centers have more defensive responsibility, and thus are more valuable. It also suggests that in our system, a winger should get equal consideration for the Selke. #stoneforselke

Partially.. I would say Dzone face offs particularly where you start from a static position. F1F2F3 generally applies more to responsibilities on the fly... The emphasis of my point other than being great on draws is the profile of a #1C is an excellent player. Selke winners are not all #1Cs ... Typically Cs but not all 1Cs.

Guy speaks to the media about practice and the lineup for tomorrow night against the Capitals.

 

[Back in Black]

People should remember that when they say we are missing a #1C ... what it really means is we are missing a really good forward with the skill/size/strength/speed profile normally found in a #1C.

You mean like Auston Matthews?

No, like we used to have, that Spezza fella!

 

[NyQuil]

No, like we used to have, that Spezza fella!

I miss his back stretching on the ice during commercial breaks.

Man you're going to be really disappointed when you go to turn the Sens game on later tonight.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Must win game.

Haha, I'm actually about to fly into Ottawa for the first time in about a year and am going to the game. Can't wait to get off my flight in a few hours and head right to the rink for tonights game. I literally can't wait another a day.

I'll be at the rink tonight! We should meet up.

No thanks. Last time I agreed to meet someone from this boards it was PatrickEaves, who, to my massive disappointment, was not a girl.

Bare Fax? Really? Jay Onrait?

 

[Alex1234]

We need a "women" only senators band

 

[megalomania]

I don't have a problem with Boro on Ovi!

Neither does Ovi

 

[Masked]

Bare Fax? Really? Jay Onrait?

Bare Sax would be better for the family friendly crowd.

 

[Ouroboros]

It's definitely hockey season - Uncle Euge is having a go at the fanbase...

Hey guess what Eugene. The thing that's fundamentally wrong is you.

 

[Spartachat]

Last year's home opener didn't sell out either and it was against the Leafs and Austin Matthews' first ever NHL game. We need that downtown arena!

Can we really blame him this time around? The team went to the conference finals and lost in game 7 double OT. I'm as shocked as anyone that even now we're not able to sell out on opening night. Used to be a guarantee back in the day. If fans' motivation to go to games is only based on UFA signings, than that will be a tough sell in any market as fewer stars are hitting UFA status.

I'm disappointed that it looks like attendance will still be a hot topic. If I was there, I wouldn't wanna miss out on opening night

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Hey Eugene spent big bucks this offseason on Oduya and Thompson! Fans should be thrilled he did so much to support his conference finalist. Who can't get excited about those guys!?
