Game 72: Senators @ Stars
Ottawa Senators at Dallas Stars, Mar 20, 2010 2:00 PM EDT
The Senators are back at it Saturday afternoon to take on their brothers in the Western Conference, the Dallas Stars. A couple of pretty good teams through the 2000s who missed the playoffs last season and are struggling after the Olympic break trying to get momentum--in the Senators' case, to stay in the playoffs; in the Stars' case, trying to get in.
Some things I'll be looking for tonight:
- This should be Pascal Leclaire's opportunity to ease some minds in this city, and string a few good games together. Whether due to poor play or injury, Leclaire hasn't won more than two consecutive games all season, and he'd like to get started on a longer streak tonight.
- Alex Kovalev doesn't have any points since the Olympics. Will he show up?

Giants, 4-3 in OT
It was 3-1 in something like 5 minutes into the first period. Then the Giants dominated in a way I’ve never seen before. Seriously, I swear there were NO shots against in the last 30 minutes.

The Giants' one NHLer was pretty good, too
I know I’m biased, but I was really impressed. He had no idea what to do with crappy teammates. And their goalie: Antero Niittymaki he is not.
Actually their goalie’s parents are South African, which makes me wonder if every hockey player with roots in South Africa plays goal.

Someone should tell the WHL that
Called everything for two periods and then nothing in the third when it got chippier.
I’ve never seen a guy cross-checked after the whistle, sending him flying over the goalie, followed by a faceoff between the same two players, the guy who threw the cross-check slashes upwards at his face before the puck and no call plus neither one gets thrown out.

The shot count in our game was something ridiculous like 39-14
And that in no way demonstrated just how dominant the Giants were. Blazers spent most of the game collapsing in and blocking shots. Vintage Dean Brown would have called “scramble!” at least a dozen times.
Oh, and Frantisek Musil’s son plays D for the Giants, too.

He misread the Barch-to-Ribeiro play, though
Hugged the post instead of trying to cut off the centering pass. He was watching the play behind the net and didn’t know that Ribeiro had beaten his man to get free. A stick on the ice would have really helped himself there.

Spezza is easily a hero this game
He has been all over the ice. His first shift he was back to cover for a pinching Phillips. Not in the offensive zone, not in the neutral zone… in his OWN zone. He’s putting the team on his back today.

"Oh. Oh well" to his high-sticking double minor on slashing Kovalev's head still kills me
Only beaten by his “Yeah, probably” when I told him that the most intense Kovalev has played all year was in the 15 minutes after getting sliced.

Erik Karlsson is -4
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - Silver Seven - Cycle Like the Sedins - the classic blog
Yeah, Sens zero
He hasn’t been on his game at all today. That goal wasn’t his fault at all, but a few have been.

FOURTEEN SAVES
FOURTEEN
FIVE GOALS
HE HAD ZERO SAVES IN THIS PERIOD

I don't think it's fair to pull Leclaire
We didn’t pull Elliott last game, and he was worse. Why pull Leclaire now?
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 20, 2010 4:06 PM EDT reply actions
He'd probably let his confidence in, too.

After getting turned around like a ballerina

No, this does the opposite
He should have left him in, let him rebound and make a few good saves. Are we going to just run with Elliott? He’s been shitty too.
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 20, 2010 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree.
I’m pissed. Elliott played WAY WORSE last game. I still think Leclaire is a better goalie, and he’s not being able to string anything together, and we’ve given Elliott all the rope in the world.

That was a mistake
Rolling puck, he tried to flip it in. Those happen, they just don’t often end up in your net.

Oh, and he was slashed. And dead tired.

That is a bullshit hooking call
Lifting the stick is not hooking. I don’t know why they insist on calling it as such.
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 20, 2010 4:17 PM EDT reply actions
especially because slashes to the hand are totally legal
especially when they lead to game ending goals.

well I showed up late and didnt have time to read 500+ comments
http://ottawasconsensus.blogspot.com/
Hahahaha, no, I mean we all know that slashes aren't penalties if they result in game-ending goals

hah oh ok. well call me mr.obvious then haha

Looking at the numbers:
Going into today, Elliott had started 40 games but played in 46.
That means this is the 7th game this season Leclaire has been pulled in 29 starts.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - Silver Seven - Cycle Like the Sedins - the classic blog
talk about giving a guy a chance
http://ottawasconsensus.blogspot.com/
Yeah, it makes little sense... how many times has Elliott been pulled?
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 20, 2010 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
I can think of once

Leclaire’s started 29 games and played 32.

it looks like a COMPLETELY different team than the team that started the game
and played til about halfway through the second
http://ottawasconsensus.blogspot.com/
I just realized that 5-3 meant two goals down
Yep, we’re fucked.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - Silver Seven - Cycle Like the Sedins - the classic blog
Well especially with all the urgency they are playing with to get a couple before the end of the game!

SPEZZA SCORES WITH 87 SECONDS LEFT FOR THE HAT TRICK
Can they complete the comeback? It would do wonders for the teams confidence.

Amazingly, these refs are still better than the ones I saw last night.

A Leafs-Red Wings game is the only time I cheer for the Leafs
And even then it’s not so much cheering for the Leafs as wanting the Wings to not win.

Losing wouldn't be as bad if it was expected
It’s the underachieving that makes this so frustrating

Could this Leafs/Habs game be any worse?
It’s bad enough I had to hope the Leafs would win, thus costing the Habs points. But it had to go into overtime, generating that damn loser point. At least Montreal only got the one point, I guess. But now we’re tied with them for sixth, although we’ve got more wins.
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 20, 2010 9:47 PM EDT reply actions
Edit: Tied with them and Philly for fifth, and the Flyers have a game in hand on both teams. Great. I’d rather not play Pittsburgh or New Jersey in the first round.
