PrintOttawa Senators at Los Angeles Kings, Dec 3, 2009 10:30 PM EST
After a tough road loss to the San Jose Sharks, the Senators look to start getting some wins on this road trip. A good place to start? Los Angeles. A few players I'll be watching tonight:
- Erik Karlsson: Erik looked more confident last game than he has in any other NHL appearance, and hopefully that carries over to tonight's game.
- Anton Volchenkov: He had a tough game in his return from injury, so hopefully he's shaken off the rust and can be that reliable shutdown guy the team needs.
- Mike Fisher: Like Volchenkov, Fish hasn't been quite himself since returning from injury. Here's hoping he puts up a goal tonight and gets back into his goal scoring groove.
- Anze Kopitar: This guy is too good to stay quiet this long. Sens have got to watch out for him. <insert Brian Lee comment here>.
As always, join in on the fun in the comments during the game! Sleep is for the weak (or not necessary for several more hours for those of us on the west coast)!

Mine is Sufjan Stevens
Because that’s what my Winamp playlist happens to be on.

The team that uses Sufjan Stevens to pump themselves up for a game is the team that loses.
If anyone finds a working feed for the game, please post! I’m stuck in an apartment with two women unwilling to miss NBC’s Thursday night comedies.
Luckily, I’m in a time zone where those are long over.
Let me see if I can find a feed…

I need your help...
Should I have popcorn and a Pepsi during the first, or a cup of hot chocolate and some cookies?
Keep in mind it’s 10:30 here. And winter (but it’s not cold in my igloo).
by Peter Raaymakers on Dec 3, 2009 10:27 PM EST reply actions
Popcorn and Pepsi (caffeine early), then hot chocolate and cookies late in the game to start the wind-down.
by Dany Hea-Traitor on Dec 3, 2009 10:28 PM EST reply actions
Nice. Good call.
I will also follow Manthong’s advice (welcome, by the way, Manthong), but I’ll get to that later in the game. To the microwave!

Curious: those of you watching the game on TV, is the game being called by TSN talent, or is this another one of those nights where they’re lamely just taking the US team’s feed?
I would prefer the US feed.
Pierre McGuire is a prick.
by Dany Hea-Traitor on Dec 3, 2009 10:43 PM EST up reply actions
I agree, but the fact that they aired Lightning and Pens broadcasts (and Panthers? did they do Panthers too?) earlier this season was tremendously weak.
It is the TSN crew
and both Pierre and Gord are at their worst.
Pierre has such a hard-on for every member of the Kings. And Gord just hates the Senators.

I disagree
It’s a great album. While I admit “The Fixer” and the two slow songs are not my fave, there are some good tunes there. See them live, they bring it every night, never the same setlist. If I’m rocking like that when I’m in my 40’s, I’ll be happy. You can see how Vedder and Chelios are good friends based on ….aw fuck, whatever. I won’t change your mind.
When are we going to see Mike Brodeur? Against Anaheim?
There’s a big difference between PJ being good and Backspacer being good. They are a wonderful band, and can likely still bring it despite their age. But The Fixer is so grating. It holds nothing when compared to Ten or Vs.
