Game 70: Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators

PrintToronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators, Mar 16, 2010 7:30 PM EDT
Well, the Senators have played themselves back into a pressure-filled situation. Our "must-win" watch is at Defcon 2, with the team being told they have to play "with urgency." Yikes.
Mike Fisher will also miss tonight's game with an upper-body injury. Yikes.
In the last meeting of these teams, Toronto dominated a flu-ravaged team and won in the shootout, 2-1. The team only gained a point because of the play of Pascal Leclaire. Yikes.
Now, some good news:
Nick Foligno returns to the team tonight. Foligno's gritty style of play has been sorely missed by this team, especially against recent Western Conference opponents. Foligno also tends to score goals in his first game back, and goals are something the Sens need. Yay!
Chris Campoli returns, so Brian Lee is out of the lineup. Yay! (Sorry, Brian.)
This is one of Ottawa's last home games before the playoffs, and they were humiliated in their last outing. Look for them to come out flying in this game -- a win tonight will really alleviate some of the pressure they've created for themselves.
And, as always, you are invited to join us in the comments section -- we can't be awesome without you!

I like the idea of giving Elliott another shot right now
He’s likely the go-to guy in the playoffs and his confidence has been rocked a little. Putting him in a game against the weakest team this side of Saskatchewan on a night when the entire team is using buckets and drinking that oddly-coloured Gatorade could be just what he needs.
Not that the same can’t be said of Leclaire, of course.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - Silver Seven - Cycle Like the Sedins - the classic blog
by Ryan Classic on Mar 16, 2010 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think that's going to happen
Elliott is the goalie with Clouston’s confidence, so that’s who we’re going to see. Leclaire is the more talent goaltender, but the team doesn’t play as well in front of him. Whether that’s due to confidence or just his style, I don’t think it can be argued.
I want Pascal in nets, too. :(

He got a bad rap
One game defined his career in Ottawa, and that sucks. I hate the way he was run out of town, but I don’t see how he could have come back.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
He was prone to the same inconsistency as so many of the Senators recent goaltenders
The reason Lalime did well was because he was big, and he had a very strong defence in front of him. He’d let in deflating goals at terrible times, too, but the offence was so dynamic that they’d bounce right back.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s still among the franchise’s strongest goalies in history, but he had a lot of help that made him look good.

I have a theory
Kaberle dealt at the draft for at least one first-rounder, maybe two. Burke realizes you can’t rebuild without good draft picks, and always seems to make out well in these deals. He says he might keep Kaberle, but it would make no sense to do so… he just wants to be able to trade him to whatever team offers him the most.

I just explained to my roommate why Leaf fans hate Alfredsson
I’ve got the Tucker hit/goal (not that any Leaf fans like(d) Tucker), the stick toss (nevermind that Alfredsson and Sundin are friends), and for some reason the shot at Niedermayer.
Anyone got more?

Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
Will we make the playoffs?
The Rangers are 8 points back (given the number of wins they’re essentially 9 points back) with 12 games left. It would take a monumental collapse but with the number of road games it is (remotely, I hope) possible. If one of NYR/TB/ATL ever got on a run… look out.
And don’t look now, but with another Buffalo loss and a Montreal win, the Habs are only 4 points back of the division lead.

Atlanta beat Bufalo 4-3.
Not all is lost tonight.

Regardless we need to put up some W's
This is embarassing after beating the teams we have before the break.
Yeah... keeping pace is not enough
You need to make up that difference when these opportunities come up.

Sucks how our team just can`t find the back of the net anymore
We need to fix that ASAP, cause the playoffs are very close by. This sucks!
