Tampa Bay Lightning at Ottawa Senators, Mar 11, 2009 7:00 PM EDT
The Battle of the 1992-93 Expansion Teams! What an epic battle tonight will be. I don't know how to hype this game. It's on TSN, at least, so we should all be able to watch it (at least those of us in Canada; sorry, Seattle contingent but you can likely find it online).
And according to the Ottawa Sun, neither Chris Neil nor Filip Kuba will be ready to play tonight. It was thought that Neil might return from his injury, but not tonight, and Kuba's still got the flu.
In-game discussion starts... well, pre-game can start now, in-game at 7:00 p.m. EST!

Damn only getting CBC.
They never have anything on worth watching except fantastic Olympic coverage and 22 minutes. And sometimes hockey. And curling! And some other stuff.

Don't look for Olympics on CBC in 2010
CBC lost the bid, so CTV/TSN are getting it, instead. But hey, at least CBC Sports has some Raptors games now…

Amazing that he's 10-4-3.
I don’t know why he takes so much shit.
by PeterR on Mar 11, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He plays for the Sens.
That’s about it really. Kid never stood a chance.

Touché
I’m hoping he doesn’t get shipped off. Bingo would be better because he’d get plenty of ice time, but I don’t know why he’d want to do that after a half year in the NHL. I don’t know how good two seasons as backup will be for him, though.
Although I guess Leclaire could just get injured over and over again… maybe not that unlikely.

Good pass from Giggles on the assist
plus one for Alfie.

Ruutu got eye gouged
and is bleeding.
by Matthew on Mar 11, 2009 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The eye gouging, that is
I assume the bleeding is incidental
by ningwers on Mar 11, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep.
Double minor + 10min misconduct I believe.
by Matthew on Mar 11, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Being a pest is dangerous job it seems
by ningwers on Mar 11, 2009 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Apparently about as dangerous as recess, but dangerous nonetheless
by ningwers on Mar 11, 2009 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Correction, it might not have been a double minor for that.
There were 2 penalties called for roughing ruutu, but they were apparently called on two different players, but both served by Arty, who also got the game misconduct.
by Matthew on Mar 11, 2009 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
What's wrong with this Artyukhin guy?
Must have had a bad day. He sure doesn’t look like a fighter; no facial scars, nose a lot prettier than Donovan’s…
by PeterR on Mar 11, 2009 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He carries his scars on the inside

Wow... were there two consecutive powerplays through which we didn't get a shot.

13 seconds to be exact.
Almost as long as some other activities…

Wait...
Didn’t this exact thing happen a couple games ago?

At least our goal was short-handed.
I love those.

Hay guys
Late to the thread. Everyone knows how to watch this game online that doesn’t have coverage, right?
Also, I can’t believe Kelly scored

Followed by the taunting jeers of the Ducks fans.
Quite possibly my worst single sports moment.

Why do we have to be playing so well now, when losing is in the club’s best long term interest? The hockey gods definitely hate us. Damn you Spezz and your unsafe hockey sticks! You brought this upon us!
