Sens Recap: Back in the Win Column

By -
The Sens pulled off a 4-3 win over the Sabres last night however the score doesn't tell the whole story as the Senators outplayed the Sabres for most if not all of the game.

The Senators regained their offensive touch with 4 goals on the night thanks to Erik Karlsson (as always), Chris Phillips, Alfie and Chris Neil who had the winner. Mika Zibanejad played really well again, and his line with Turris and Alfredsson looked great all night. Zbad played an agressive forecheck and allowed Turris and Alfredsson to focus on creating the offense as trailers in the play, as seen on the Alfredsson goal. Zibanejad looked great on that shift and showed some soft hands on a pass to Alfredsson in the slot.

The Stephane Da Costa experiement wasn't amazing as he saw limited ice time, but he did not look like he was playing safe at all as he was actively trying to create offense when he did get on the ice, you can just tell he has tons of skill. One positive with the Da Costa thing was that it appeared to motivate Peter Regin. He had a monster game picking up 2 assists including a gorgeous play and pass on the Chris Neil winner. Hopefully he can keep up that pace.

Other than that, lets hope teams keep playing their back up goalies against us cause they all see to suck. (Shut up Dan Ellis.)

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

AHF NHL Playoff Bracket

With the March Madness NCAA Basketball tournament starting up tomorrow, people all over North America and abroad are filling out their brackets.  Even President Obama gets in on the action each year. Though my knowledge in sports lies pretty much in the world of hockey, I've been attempting brackets for the past six years.  This year my final four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina. When it comes to the NHL nobody gets excited and fills out an NHL playoff bracket.  I am here to change that today. Since my creative juices are lacking in humour during this dismal time in Montreal, I thought I'd throw together an NHL bracket of my own based on the NHL Playoffs matches that would be happening if the season ended last night. Please feel free to rip me apart in the comment section. 1st Round  East: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Winner: New York Rangers in 5 Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Winner: Boston Bruins in 5 Florida Panthers vs New J
