Silver Nuggets: Sens take on Pens

OTTAWA, CANADA - DECEMBER 14: Craig Anderson #41 of the Ottawa Senators wears his new Heritage themed mask that pays tribute to Clint Benedict, a Hockey Hall of Fame netminder who backstopped the original Senators to three Stanley Cups in the 1920s during an NHL game against the Boston Bruins at Scotiabank Place on December 14, 2011 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

I'm sorry to say I don't have time to write much for today's Nuggets, so here's an awesome memory from a past game between the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins:

So awesome.

Links after the jump.

Star-divide

Senators headlines:

  • Alex Auld gets the nod for the Sens tonight. (Ian Mendes)
  • Lines for tonight will remain the same as last game.
  • Neither of Sergei Gonchar nor Filip Kuba will be in the lineup tonight, but Paul MacLean thinks one or both could return Tuesday against the Sabres. (Ian Mendes)
  • In today's prediction panel, Ian Mendes and Steve Lloyd predict a Sens win. Everyone else picks the Pens. (Senators Extra)
  • There will be growing pains as the Senators' young defencemen learn what they can and can't pull off in the NHL. It's all part of the plan. (Citizen)
  • Boston Bruins defender Adam McQuaid was fined $2500 for his kneeing infraction on Nick Foligno. (TSN)
  • speaking of Foligno, his scoring hasn't slowed down his pestiness. In fact, they seem to be growing in tandem. (Metro)
  • Corey Locke might return for the B-Sens tonight or at some point during this weekend's back-to-back-to-back play this weekend. The B-Sens have also signed forward Brandon Svendsen to a PTO. (Press & Sun Bulletin)
  • Pierre LeBrun tweeted today that the Sens spoke with the Phoenix Coyotes about Kyle Turris this week, but Ottawa isn't the front-runner to acquire him. (LeBrun)
  • Marc Crawford suggested the Philadelphia Flyers try to acquire Sergei Gonchar ASAP, and offer a young prospect in exchange--specifically, Crawford named Brayden Schenn. Where do I sign? (Crawford)

Related headlines:

  • Why are so many stars, including Milan Michalek, missing time due to concussions concussion-like symptoms these days? What can the NHL do about it? (Vancouver Sun)
  • Jeremy Roenick thinks the solution is restoring respect among players. Because players used to respect each other so much, right? Right? (Vancouver Sun)
  • JoNana looks at a week of weird injuries. (Backhand Shelf)
  • We don't hear much about Marian Hossa these days, but his terrific career just keeps going. (Sporting News)
  • It was mentioned in the comments yesterday, but Chris Pronger is out for the rest of the season and the playoffs. (Puck Daddy)

And in case you've missed it, check out this hilarious video of the first two rounds of the Senators' draft for the Sens' Super Skills Competition. My money's on Team Alfredsson.

No love for Vote Milo?

That should definitely be a nugget Adnan!

Peter did these Nuggets.

Come on, Adnan has no love for Carkner.

Oh Captain, my Captain!

Looks like Milan’s video just got posted on the Sens site today.

Oh Captain, my Captain!

Erik Karlsson is better than your favourite player.

My favourite overtime goals:

5. Joe Corvo (2007)
4. Matt Carkner (2010)
3. Chris Phillips (2003)
2. Mike Fisher (2004)
1. Daniel Alfredsson (2007)

by Sports Fan! on Dec 16, 2011 1:47 PM EST reply actions  

Solid, solid list

There have been some good ones in Sens’ playoff history. I’d probably think the Corvo goal should be higher, but that top three is pretty amazing.

by Peter Raaymakers on Dec 17, 2011 11:00 PM EST up reply actions  

I think so

Preview on the Sens’ site doesn’t list him as injured. Thanks for that, Citizen.

Oh Captain, my Captain!

its the gear man!!

little off this topic but a hot topic -esp considering your best player and the leading goal scorer-BTW-How did Ottawa end up with the best scorer and best offensive defender in the league overnight? that another topic-but pretty wild to think about, esp after last years debacle of a season. Back to my topic-gear. The best way to eliminate concussions is to go back 20 years to the shoulder and elbow pads made then and re institute them asap. the hard plastic -the mostrosity of shoulder pads and these elbow pads that would deflect surface to air missiles need to go..,,.If they went back to the old shoulder and elbow pads-all these blows would be buffered-lets just say half of them were affected by hockey players wearing football pads…no one was getting head injuries in my day-when Neely and Oates ruled, when Edmonton was breaking Boston hearts…when stevie y was god…IF THEY WOULD JUST MODIFY THE EQUIPMENT-THE PLAYERS WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY. it is so obvious. IMO

Any chance they also introduce a new Kyle Turris, as well?

by Spezzal Teams Playa on Dec 16, 2011 4:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Maybe it's my ever growing love of the Sens,

but that whole game is my favorite Sens moment. LeClaire was so good that night!

by Pmoron on Dec 16, 2011 3:58 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Just remembered what else I wanted to say.

I say hells no to Brayden Schenn. He was on the team (I believe Manchester) that the B-Sens beat after being down 3-1; he was traded to my hometown Blades (WHL) who were heavy favorites to win the championship, but lost badly. After all that, he went to the world juniors and we all no how that turned out.
Honestly, every time I see him he strikes me as an entitled little brat with a bad attitude and little work ethic. There’s lots of time to turn it around but I don’t see much upside to him.

Of course now that I do a little more research....

There might be a reason I’m not a scout.

Carks and Foligno?

Phillips is trying to throw the competition!

I was thinking that at first,

but Big Country at least has a pretty good chance at taking hardest shot.

It was already fixed last year!

No way Greening is faster than Karlsson!

Coincidence?

I think not. Those flowing locks have got to create some serious drag.

Boy, am I pumped

My first post on this Blog was that last game with Pittsburgh. We could have wont that game, and all the games we have played since. Not my fault – honest. We could be doing better. Tonight we will show them. Tonight we have a secret weapon.
