Game 25: Ottawa Senators @ San Jose Sharks

Ottawa Senators at San Jose Sharks, Dec 1, 2009 10:30 PM EST





The biggest game of the season so far? Perhaps, in a way, it is. One thing is for sure: The Senators, and the players whose roles Dany Heatley had taken issue with, will certainly see this as a statement game. Ottawa's playing a much more committed team game right now, and it would be great to show how effective a good coach's winning formula can be.

Some things to watch out for:

  • Heatley, who's on pace for a career-high 52 goals so far this season, only has one in his last four games.
  • Joe Thornton, on the other hand, is on a seven-game assist streak, with 12 assists in that span.
  • Ryan Clowe has a six-game point streak, too, with 3G and 4A over those games.
  • Ottawa's only streak is Jason Spezza's two-game point streak.
  • Since taking over the starter's role part way through the Nov. 21 game against Buffalo, Brian Elliott has gone 3-1-1 in Ottawa's net with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 SP.
  • The Sharks are putting Thomas Greiss in nets tonight for his sixth start of the year. Greiss is 2-2 with .897 SP and a 3.19 GAA.
Some readers from the left coast may appreciate a rare late start for tonight's game, but I'll try and stay awake for the whole thing, too. Anyone and everyone else is welcome to join in the live discussion below.

At least you correctly named the time zone.

This is the nerdiest post you have ever made

And I have read them all, I promise. Do you get in time zone fights with the other nerds and their time zone gangs?

by Mark Parisi on Dec 1, 2009 10:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It's nothing to laugh about

Time zone fights are the eighth-most-common non-weapons-related gang fights in North America

Maybe here, but this is nowhere close to my nerdiest post ever.

And no, I do not get into time zone fights, but I will mock you if you use it incorrectly and one time I managed a 12 message e-mail chain before the other person finally understood how retarded she was being. She literally did not know what Daylight time was.

Sens look okay

Heatley is playing fantastic. So is Michalek. Cheechoo to a lesser extent than those two.

One problem though is that I think Heatley told Marleau and Thornton that he really, really wants to get a hat trick tonight, and so they are passing everything to him, even when he’s not a good option.

You really think Heatley is playing fantastic? I think he’s just shooting a lot because he wants to lock up his reputation as a dickhead in Ottawa. Michalek is playing fantastic. Heatley backchecked once.

Heatley is skating hard, and showing good puck possession. He’s making sharp passes. He’s creating his own chances. He’s playing really, really well.

The forecheck is such a big part of his game, and this is a forechecking game. It explains why Alfie hasn’t been that strong 5-on-5, as much as I hate to say it.

If a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon rainforest, is Dany Heatley still a huge jackass?

What did you feel about that?

For serious. I thought they were going to trade him. I didn’t really understand the decision.

by Mark Parisi on Dec 2, 2009 1:00 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Something about choking in the playoffs might have something to do with it. Don’t worry it will happen again.

It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

by hawks61 on Dec 2, 2009 1:01 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

But by that logic, Alfie should have been stripped long ago. I’m glad he hasn’t been.

you clearly are a hater … nice to see your unbiased comments … :)

Not a hater...

…just pointing out why Marleau was stripped of the captaincy. Why else would they?

oh please … it’s quite clear where you stand on putting the playoff failures on one player … otherwise you wouldnt’ make the lameass comment that you did … nor the other hateful comments you have been directed towards the Sharks and their fans thru-out … :) … shame really … most on SBN sites are at least civil to each other … can see there are some that slip thru that tho … :)

What that your commentators are biased? The jokes about Heatley? Asking about Marleau being stripped of his captaincy? There not hater remarks. If anything your proving that your a little too sensitive. :) Too bad really!

bout him losing the C? … disappointed … didn’t think the heat he received was deserved

Yeah, I didn’t either. I don’t think their playoff failures were all on his shoulders.

by Mark Parisi on Dec 2, 2009 1:03 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

they weren’t … but too many needed to focus their anger someone … and unfortunately he received that anger … it was unwarranted … but he hasn’t let the lack of the C affect his play … he’s doing tremendously this year

Man... this is really too bad.

Not only are we not winning, we are not enacting vigilante justice. Where’s Chris Neil when you need him?

by PeterR on Dec 2, 2009 12:38 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

This team needs more winning.

How much cap space does winning cost?

by Matthew on Dec 2, 2009 12:43 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Okay... if we score here

and then score again…

and don’t allow any more goals…

I think we’ll be ok

by Matthew on Dec 2, 2009 12:46 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

See?

Now we’d have another PP and only be down one.

by Matthew on Dec 2, 2009 12:52 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Those 2 PP were really bad! C’mon Sens get one more, give yourselves a chance here.

Karlsson was great on the powerplay.

Very true

Probably the worst time for a drop pass.

by Rob.D on Dec 2, 2009 1:00 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You shouldn't

Ottawa could have won this game. It’s not like we were completely dominated. We played with them for long stretches.

Funny ’cause I want to hit Heatley in the precise fashion.

2nd star? For what, the puck glancing off his skate right onto Marleau’s stick twice?

For taking a billion shots at the net I guess

Alright, it's past my bedtime.

We can still make this road trip good. I know we can.

I don’t think they’ll drop another game on this road trip. For serious.

This was fun, despite the score

I’ll see everyone next time.
