Game 66: Ottawa Senators v. Toronto Maple Leafs

PrintToronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators, Mar 6, 2010 7:00 PM EST
If the Senators still need a wake-up call after the Olympic break, the Leafs should do the trick. They may be in last place in the Eastern Conference, but two of their 19 wins this season have come against Ottawa. For whatever reason--whether it's the Leafs getting extra-motivated, or the Sens taking the night off--it's always competitive between the two teams, so Ottawa can't afford to give Toronto an inch. Some things to watch for:
- The fourth instalment of the ongoing Colton Orr-Matt Carkner fight. Orr's currently taken two of three so far, but you can be sure Carkner would like to even up the score.
- A whole whack of Senators are fighting the flu, including Brian Elliott -- which means Pascal Leclaire will get his second consecutive start. Zack Smith has also been recalled, so a skater will miss the game, too.
- Filip Kuba's still out, so no relief on the blue line: Brian Lee will once again dress for tonight's game.
- The buds have now given reason to their nickname: Toronto's the youngest team in the league. Only one player on today's roster played any second of time for Toronto during the 2007-08 season (Tomas Kaberle); the rest of the team has been completely re-made. Who knows what this means for the rivalry, other than the fact that some of their players will have grown up watching the Battle of Ontario through the late '90s and early 2000s.
As always, join us during the game in the comments section to either celebrate or lament.

Lessons learned!
When the undisputed starter goes down with the flu, it’s an opportunity the backup must run with (Brodeur, Not Martin. Ottawa Senators. 2010).
So, during play, avoid shots to the grill, for God’s sake. Dive out of the way if you have to (Leclaire, Pascal. Ottawa Senators. 2009-10).
Also, please don’t play with highly erratic tendencies (Brodeur, Martin.Team Canada. 2010).
Just stay calm, keep it simple, stay in or around your crease and consistently make the saves you’re supposed to make (Elliott, Brian. Ottawa Senators, 2009-10).
And against these pesky Maple Leafs, I beg of you, watch high glove side. You gotta catch em all… because otherwise, it’s career suicide (Lalime, Patrick. Ottawa Senators. 2001-04).
Good Luck Snoop!

I dislike their editorial shows
but their broadcasts of actual sports is top notch. Great productions and a commitment to show things live, like the World Cup this summer. Great contrast to the abortion that is NBC Sports
Correction
Abortions end things and do not continue forward. NBC keeps going. It is less an abortion and more a birth defect.

by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 6, 2010 7:35 PM EST up reply actions
I tried to come up with a reason why that was
I settled on because Marian got the preferred jersey number he had to be M. Hossa. Marcel got shafted and gets to be his own guy. It’s funnier because F. Hossa was an assistant coach.

I've always wondered what happens if both Alex Picards got traded to the same team.

They should share jerseys and change it between shifts.
That way they could double their ice time and almost amount to a real NHL player
Since we had ours, he actually became known as the better of the two
When we got ours, I heard a few people saying that we didn’t even get the good one.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
And he was subsequently double shifted
Fun stuff for the kid indeed! So far so good.
I can't believe he wasn't moved this week

Chris Kelly is playing FOR SERIOUS tonight
He’s one goal away from unzipping the bomb doors
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
My initial reaction to this was to complete the line from White Rabbit,
“…when she’s ten feet tall!”
From Urban Dictionary: I got down there and she had bomb doors like a battered hercules
That is disturbing. We need a new term.
Vaginas are serious business.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Slang terms often have multiple meanings
In this instance, to have your bomb doors open means to be playing without restraint. You can, however, have your bomb doors open to varying degrees; if they`re almost ripped off, you`re playing like nobody`s business.

That's about how many PPG we have as a team.
I get we need to get better, but you don’t get better by subbing good potters on the PP for Chris Neil.
I have to believe it's because Michalek has way more offensive upside

No, Im over-reacting I realize, I'd just like to see Michalek feature less prominently

Otherwise I can’t attend.

Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
He has been great tonight
I’m trying to think of games where he’s been better

I think he's better
I didn’t expect someone this mean or mobile.

Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
I'm not a big fan of the penalty call for that.
It should be just like icing in that you can’t change the players on the ice and nothing more.
"The Golden Goal! And Canada has - once in a lifetime - Olympic Gold!"
Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
Yeah, Murray's won that argument in the past
They actually sent the player out of the box and back to the bench.

Fisher has played the most invisible 12 minutes that I can remember
Poor guy.

Havlat was pretty clutch last year.

He isn't there anymore.

For real... I was just thinking that
Although it’s been a couple of games where he’s been MIA

Apparently he has been annihilated by the flu

Hockey is pretty difficult even
when you don’t have to go vomit between shifts
I'm missing this game! :(
I’ve missed every game this week!!
by Los Blancos Chicca on Mar 6, 2010 9:35 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Just go throw up in a bucket
You’ll have seen as much of the game as most of the players have.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Because of the flu??
I heard!
by Los Blancos Chicca on Mar 6, 2010 9:38 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yep
It’s brutal.
Fear the upcoming “boo hoo” for months from the Leafs faithful.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Damn! This sucks.
Was hoping this game would start our winning streak!

I know!!! I snuck to a tv. I'm at a birthday party for one of my girls!
I’m watching the end. I wasn’t allowed to watch. Haha

You can really tell that the game is wearing on them
The energy level is really dropping off and they’re playing sloppy as a result

Too soon
You have lowered Hasse’s standards WAY too far. But you wanted to use the pic, so I forgive you.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Oh, it won't
But considering everyone is puking their guts out, pulling off an already defeating (i.e. bad call) penalty kill is pretty outstanding. Not Hasse-level, but outstanding.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Just great work
They’d better get the day off tomorrow.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I don't think they'll have enough healthy players to run a practice

Good choice of music
The Great Escape.

WE GOT TO CATCH EDMONTON IN WINS! ;)

Well a point is still a point.
Now make it 2 Sens.

What shooters do you even send out for this?
Spezza has to be one. I guess Kovalev too. Who’s the third? Cullen? Michalek?
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
He's earned it, but I doubt Clouston gives him the shot
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Yeah, no doubt
He’s dragging ass tonight
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I don't care who wins
Toronto faithful will mock us.
And honestly, I just don’t give a shit.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Agreed
Best game Snoopy’s played in black, red, and white.

It was pretty bad I must say.
The Leafs and Oilers win on back-to-back nights? What in the world is going on?
"The Golden Goal! And Canada has - once in a lifetime - Olympic Gold!"
Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
Well we're going to lose in the First round
If we fucking get there!
by Alexander Calloway on Mar 6, 2010 10:01 PM EST reply actions
Now, now don't go overboard.
It’s only one game with plenty more still to come.
Worry about the playoffs when they come around.

I THINK this was hyperbole
This was an encouraging game
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Damn!!!!
I’m so annoyed!!!! I missed OT/SO because of the girls lol
by Los Blancos Chicca on Mar 6, 2010 10:02 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Man!!
I know! But it’s a birthday! I’m worried about the season!
by Los Blancos Chicca on Mar 6, 2010 10:04 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Don't panic
Both of our additions looked really good tonight. If we had a healthy roster, we would have won this game. In fact, I think this roster could go pretty deep here if they can stay healthy.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I agree
But I didn’t watch. So I don’t know how they played. I assumed it was similar to the past 2 games.
by Los Blancos Chicca on Mar 6, 2010 10:15 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
It wasn't
The effort was there, but the energy wasn’t. The flu had a lot to do with that, I think.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Aww poor guys!
I get to watch the next game! I’m excited.

Haven’t done one in a while.

How does Gustavsson get first star over Leclaire?
by Peter Raaymakers on Mar 6, 2010 10:04 PM EST reply actions
You know it's because he was the winning goalie
But whatever, that’s bullcrap. Snoopy was the best player on the ice for either team tonight.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Good night all.
Best of luck in the next tilt.
"The Golden Goal! And Canada has - once in a lifetime - Olympic Gold!"
Congratulations to The Golden Boys- Toews, Seabrook, and Keith- for delivering the GOLD to CANADA.
And there you have it. PPP already has a thread up just for mocking the Senators.
Sigh. Maturity.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! - ryanclassic.net
Nothing wrong with that
They need little victories after years of crapass crap.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
True
It’s still kind of sad. Nevermind the constant “we don’t actually care about you.”
But I digress. Gin and tonic!

In a month all they'll care about is July 1st
So, there’s that.
