Before the Puck Drop: Sens @ Pens

By -
For the secondt time this season the Senators will get a look at Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. This is the second game of a back to back tonight after a 2-0 win over the Sabres last night. Anderson posted the shutout and it looks like he will get the start again tonight. The Penguins have playeed most of their game son the road but so far this year they are less than stellar at home. Which is good for the Senators.

The Penguins pulled out the win in a 2-1 shootout win in their last meeting hopefully the Senators can reverse that result and get on a roll with a couple consecutive wins.The lineup will stay the same from last night except Wiercoch will sub out for Benoit. Looks like the Penguins will be without Kris Letang tonight but ya never know, same goes for Matt Niskanen who's been out since game 5 of the season.

I love Kyle Turris and I think he has an incredible shot, but I've always noticed he has a really hard time getting his shot off, seems like every second shot he takes gets deflected into the stands off a defenders stick. Well my eyes did not deceive me and according to Silver Seven, Kyle Turris hasn't had more than 2 shots in a game since game 2 this year. Yikes, hopefully the Senators coaches have picked this up and are working on a) teaching him to better ways to get shots through and b) setting up some plays that will give him some extra space to shoot particularly on the powerplay.

I find alot of Sens fans have a hate on for Crosby but I have a huge man crush on him to the point where I debate wearing my Crosby jersey under my Sens jersey during the games.


Enjoy the game!

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

Where did a decade go? I remember this game, and basically being on my knees throughout most of it.  When Laich scores the late goal in the 3rd I almost hurled, and then on top of that we take a penalty! The ride Halak gave us in 2010 will never be matched!  41 saves in a Game 7! No idea how Sportsnet isn't airing this one tonight!?  I'm surprised they aren't airing random 2016 Blue Jays baseball games instead. I don't need 80s and 90s game all week.  Mix in some modern classics like this!
