Game 26: Ottawa Senators at Los Angeles Kings

Ottawa 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…

WOOOOOO

Who here is listening to The Bee Gees – More Than a Woman to pump up?!

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 PeterR on Dec 3, 2009 10:27 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

it’s not too cold yet

nevertheless, hc and cookies

by Manthong on Dec 3, 2009 10:28 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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!

I do not have TSN2. So despite promises the game would be on TSN, I’m watching a goddamn stream.

I turned off the Bills game for a 0-1 deficit?!

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?

by dzuunmod on Dec 3, 2009 10:42 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

by dzuunmod on Dec 3, 2009 10:46 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

The highlight of my hockey career...

is a game of “posts” at an outdoor rink here, where I managed to snipe a post from behind my own goal line.

It’s also good that three of the team’s best penalty killers are in the box

Did we just get a penalty shot and three minors against in two and a half minutes?

Yep.

I helped my girl write a literary criticism article about The Departed. Which was alright.

Last week it was about environmental protest by Indigenous peoples. This week its community gardens. No Departed. :(

Nothing left out

It’s hot just as it is.

So, this is the game right here, right guys?

If we come out of this with no goals, we’ll have all the momentum. If they bury two on us, it would take a miracle for the Sens to come back.

Has there ever been a more natural casting in a movie than Morgan Freeman as Mandela?

by Dany Hea-Traitor on Dec 3, 2009 11:27 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I was actually really surprised

He doesn’t really look like him. They should have casted a relative unknown from South Africa, so he’d have the right accent without having to fake it.

by PeterR on Dec 3, 2009 11:28 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

They should have cast Michalek

He has the right accent for everything.

by Mark Parisi on Dec 3, 2009 11:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

both freeman and damon’s accents are laughable, at least in the trailer
 
conversly, leo’s accent in blood diamond was awesome

How is Carvel still around?

Not that I have a problem with it, but hasn’t he survived two head coach firings?

Ryan Keller may be the least noticeable player in the NHL

I can’t tell you his strengths, his weaknesses, or what he looks like.

he hasn’t been spectacular. he needs to sit on the bench next game, even if it means the AHL chump

I just worry Brodeur isn’t better.

by Mark Parisi on Dec 4, 2009 12:04 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I mean, as shaky as Elliot has been, I don’t know that Brodeur is any better at all.

He shit up the last thread with baseball .gifs and that caused the team to lose.

Backspacer is such a bad album.

by Dany Hea-Traitor on Dec 4, 2009 12:36 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

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?

by Tony S on Dec 4, 2009 12:42 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

They can’t fuck around like the last one. They need to get set up in the zone quickly.

Even so

4-on-4 should be better for us, as long as Kovalev is kept on the bench

He’s trying to do way too much out there right now

Fuck me running

How can we play so badly in the third? HOW?!?

by Mark Parisi on Dec 4, 2009 1:03 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

I must have watched a different team

I watch us get no pressure in the offensive zone for 20 minutes. Everyone tried to carry it in; no one wanted to dump and chase. Maybe Quick is a really good stickhandler? No set up in the third at all. I’m mad.

Wish me luck. These fuckers sure as hell better win for me Tuesday
