Stanley Cup playoffs, day 11: Calder Cup Edition

PrintTonight there are four NHL games on schedule, but the feature game tonight has to go to the seventh and final game between the Binghamton Senators and Manchester Monarchs in the AHL Calder Cup Playoffs Atlantic Division Semi-Final. The B-Sens have clawed back from a 3-1 deficit with back-to-back overtime victories to get themselves this opportunity to advance.
- Binghamton Senators at Manchester Monarchs (7 p.m., TEAM 1200, series tied 3-3)
Although leading scorer Ryan Potulny was held off the scoresheet, Ottawa Binghamton got all the scoring needed from Bobby Butler and Geoff Kinrade, with the overtime winner, in Friday's game six. Jim O'Brien and Erik Condra each had two-point nights, in both instances their first points of the post-season. One key to the game will be finding a way to get scoring from O'Brien's line as well as Potulny's. Another will be giving Robin Lehner the support he'll certainly need after playing into double overtime and making 51 saves just last night.
Last night there were only two games on the docket in the NHL, but to keep things interesting, both went to overtime. Tyler Ennis scored 5:31 into overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 3-2 lead in their series against the Philadelphia Flyers, and Jerred Smithson beat Ray Emery less than two minutes into their overtime to give the Nashville Predators a 3-2 series lead over the Anaheim Ducks.
In the NHL tonight, three of the four games are potential series-clinchers if the team leading the series wins.
- (5) Tampa Bay Lightning at (4) Pittsburgh Penguins (12 p.m., CBC, Versus. PIT leads series 3-1)
- (8) New York Rangers at (1) Washington Capitals (3 p.m., TSN, NBC. WAS leads series 3-1)
- (6) Montreal Canadiens at (3) Boston Bruins (7 p.m., CBC, Versus. Series tied 2-2)
- (7) Los Angeles Kings at (2) San Jose Sharks (10:30 p.m., TSN, Versus. SJS leads series 3-1)
Another full day of hockey. Playoffs are the best.

Not for me
I don’t mind if Pittsburgh loses today, as long as: A) They come back and score a few goals so I get some points in the pool, and B) They still win the series.
When Ottawa is out of the playoffs, all allegiances are out for me. It’s all about my hockey pools.

Tonight? No so well.
Overall, though, not bad. I’m in first in one of them, and I’ve got all San Jose, Chicago, and Pittsburgh players there.
I’m a little off in another one, but that one’s all Washington and Pittsburgh, including seven Washington. I should improve there, as the also-rans fall out (assuming Washington moves on, which hopefully happens).
In the Silver Seven pool, I’m in trouble. Mostly because I picked Rangers in case they upset.
I like to spread around my selections, so I can hopefully win one or more pools.

Same theory.
I picked on who I thought would win, doing pretty well so far. I feel so bad for your Silver Seven pool. They’re doing about how well my pools did in the past when I picked on sentimentality.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
I got screwed because Flyers stopped playing Bob! :(

Yeah
But typically you don’t get to a financial situation where you’re able to throw away ten grand by being the kind of person who throws away ten grand, you know?
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
You don't?
I’d love to be in that position, because then I wouldn’t have a mortgage and I could presumably do many other things that I’m not able to do right now.
Although I’d feel pretty irresponsible dropping ten gees on a hockey pool when that kindof money could save thousands of lives in lesser-developed countries. So maybe I’m not cut out for that sort of thing.

Me and this guy at work were discussing hedging on sports betting
It takes a lot of guts, but if you have starting odds like 3.00 for underdog in the NFL, and 1.75 for the favourite, if you bet on the underdog, and then as soon as the favourite scores in-game, the odds might be flipped.
If you do this smartly and consistently, you can make guaranteed money. I am going to try it in the fall. :p
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
I don't think there's a way to make guaranteed money by gambling
Bookies wouldn’t make money if that were the case. The house ALWAYS wins, and that’s the truth of gambling.
If there’s a guaranteed system to making money, there’s a rule that prevents it from being implemented. This is why there’s betting limits at blackjack tables, for instance. Theoretically, you could always make money playing blackjack by doubling your bet every time you lost — assuming you had a large enough bankroll. The limits specifically prevent you from doing this.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
No no
We mean guaranteed money is particular selected situations. Not guaranteed money overall.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Oh, I misunderstood then
In selected situations, I can believe that.

One of my instructors in law school had a system for playing roulette in shitty casinos that worked really well.

My next Sens game trip
I am staying at that hotel in Gatineau with the casino.
Sens game and then poker after!
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Those are pretty far.
You’d be better off picking one of the hotels downtown that has a shuttle to the casino. Or to the racetrack.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
But I don't want to just gamble
I want poker specifically, so racetrack is out of the question!
Can’t you just take STO to Gatineau from downtown Ottawa?
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
I have no idea
I cabbed or someone drove any time I went to the casino. But I’ve seen a sign for a shuttle from the Hotel Indigo.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I am kind of snobby with hotels
Is Hotel Indigo nice?

Be wary of casino poker
There’s asshats who team up to take the money of unsuspecting tourists. It’s much more common in Vegas, but I knew someone who did it for a living in Arizona.

Almost certainly
There have got to be ways. You could ask the Lac Leamy, they might even have a shuttle.

But 1st and 2nd in the two office pools!
Of course, the office workers don’t watch hockey as much as you guys. ;)

This is the correct approach
None of the Senators will feel betrayed because you picked Carey Price in some made up pool. Allegiances don’t matter for fantasy purposes.

Well it was with the 60th pick
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
When the Senators are in, though, it's tough
I tell myself to pick against the Sens so I get something good out of either circumstance (either the Sens move on and that’s awesome, or the Sens lose but I’ve got a good chance of winning the pool). But I have a hard time doing that, and end up picking a few Sens almost every time.

I pretty much agree
Although there are certainly times when I’m happy to have picked wrong. For example, if the Rangers pull off the unlikely upset.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Well I'm not in the player pool
And my allegiances are certainly not out the window so I’m cheering against the Pens, among others.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Hello folks.
A special thank you to Tampa Bay for working hard to improve my fantasy pool standings.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
And how!
You have 8 points already today.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
BOOM
Hey, do you have gamecentre? Is it safe to assume it’s pretty much blacked out for the duration?
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
I have it yes
But yeah every game is on TV in Canada, so blacked out while it is live.
If you want to give it a try, I can give you details on twitter.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
I've got it too.
I was just having a bit of a snit this morning because every single game is blacked out. I expect they pretty much will be from here on out, but I wonder if the cup finals are as well, or if somehow those are broadcast, or what.
Thank you, atdhe.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
Do you not have TV at all?
NBC will show all games of the final except games 3 and 4.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Can't you get the CBC stream where you are?
That should cover half of the games, including the one on now.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
She's in the US
No CBC there.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
I don't have cable.
It’s stupidly expensive here. To get the tier that included Versus I was paying $80 a month. Screw that. In two months gamecentre pays for itself.
I tried CBC via a friend’s VPN (or whatever you call it) but we couldn’t get it fast enough to work.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
Isn't NBC free though?
You should be also to see Vancouver/Chicago and Anaheim/Nashville tomorrow though. Both of them aren’t on NBC or Versus.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Free, sure.
If the signal was strong enough to receive. I’m in the centre of the city less than two miles from the NBC station, and I can’t get the channel over the air. LAME.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
And now I'm debating...
Buying one of those stupid converter boxes and some cheapo antenna. Jesus, what’s next? A bomb shelter and all-camo clothing? When did I become some backwoods weirdo?

I don't think you could realistically stock up on enough of that to make it from SC to ON once shit goes down
Once shit goes down, it’s already too late. You pretty much need to already be where you want to be or preemptively get there, or you’re going to get swallowed up by mass panic.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Really?
What kind of apocalyptic event do you think wouldn’t cause mass hysteria?
I mean… I guess if you somehow survived a full-scale nuclear exchange there wouldn’t be millions of people to swarm over your meager resources, but if you tried to drive that distance, you’d just die of radiation poisoning.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Well there'll be mass hysteria
But I think the crisis will affect the ease of moving after the initial hysteria ends. Martial law will probably make it a lot harder to move around than a zombie apocalypse.
But sure the initial mass hysteria will be pretty much the same if the event is on a big enough scale. But I’m assuming Jonana is smart enough to wait it out before making a run for Canada.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
If it's martial law, there's no way you get out
You could try, but you’d be stopped and probably have most of your stockpile confiscated. So you’d have to go underground, or on the water.
If it’s a zombie apocalypse, you need three drivers so you can always be moving. And you need to make sure you re-fill your gas tank during daylight hours.

I don't believe that martial law would last long in the face of a crisis
There’s not much point in trying to maintain order if you believe the end is near. You’re going to try to keep yourself and your family alive, and when everyone does that, everything falls apart.
I don’t have any faith in humanity to keep it together if shit goes down.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Depends on the crisis.
Nuclear bomb goes off, martial law is probably sticking around. Zombie apocalypse and the military are the first ones to get eaten and turned into zombies.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I guess I don't consider a single nuclear bomb an apocalyptic event
You’d probably be able to get out of any city where there just, say, a terrorist detonation.
Assuming you survived the blast, that is.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Well not apocalyptic no
But this conversation started with “when shit goes down”, which I would say includes a nuke going off.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I do, at least some segments
You’d have some psychos with despotic colonies, but I’d like to think there would be some good ones out there, too. Tree people, or something.

What do people think?
It is unlikely that Pittsburgh will come out and score at least six goals in the third period to win the game, so we’ll suppose Tampa Bay is going to win this one, but what about the Rangers-Capitals and Sharks-Kings game?
Who do you think is going to win those?
Well anything is possible
I mean, even Robin Lehner let in a goal last night!

Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
It's not that ridiculous
I mean… I understand it, and it makes sense to me.
Realistically a one-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey, but the idea is that you keep pushing when it’s a one-goal lead. When you’re up two, you’re prone to sitting back, and when you do that you’re quickly set back on your heels.

Exactly
It’s the momentum involved. You think you’re okay with a two-goal lead, but it’s easy to lose.
A lot of teams these days are talking about the “race to three”. They want to take a 3-0 lead as early as possible, because it’s a safe (-ish) one.

Went to the Fish Store on the Fisherman’s Wharf. But no I have not been to Go Fish, although I had lunch with the boss at Sandbar. I’m basically trying to eat fish and/or shellfish at every meal while I’m here.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Good call
Although whenever I’m in Ottawa, I HAVE to get clam chowder at Lapointe’s in the market.
Go Fish is a great little stand that gets incredibly crowded on the seawall near Granville Island.
Definitely sushi it up if that’s your thing.
If you have access to a car, go to Pelican by Bank and Walkley.
It’s my favourite place to get seafood in Ottawa. Kind of a pain to get to, but worth it – it’s been a store forever and a few years ago he opened a restaurant adjoining the fish market. Good beer and wine, reasonable prices, and a menu that changes pretty often and features (IMO) the best seafood in Ottawa).
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Np
I also highly recommend trying a pint of Kichesippi while you’re in Ottawa. I’ve only had their Natural Blonde, but it’s lovely and I expect the 1855 dark ale to be equally good. I suggest town on Elgin for a snack and a drink, although it’s available in a bunch of places.

When I was in school and too cheap to pay for cable. It did wonders for my knowledge of our roster.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Me too
All through animation school, I listened to practically every game on Team 1200. I still listen to them when I’m at work quite often. It’s crazy exciting sometimes!
They're good for Sens games!
I know a few people who whine about cable being too expensive and yet don’t listen to the games. I say pshaw.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Wow Ovechkin just made Staal look like a pylon there
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Or that we picked Chris Neil in the 5th round instead of Pavel Datsyuk
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
See I don't have a problem with things like that.
Because obviously every other team in the league passed him several times too.
Yeah I don't have a problem with either one
You simply can’t tell what will happen.
But every time someone complains about Lee, I am going to mention Datsyuk.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
6th actally but yeah
I mean back then, did anyone at the time suggest we should have picked Staal or Kopitar?
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
Nope, but more than one analyst mentioned Lee was a reach at 9th overall
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Lee at 9th overall was a really stupid move
Although I’ll admit that that’s with the benefit of hindsight. But I don’t get bitter about 5th round picks. Just first round ones because even though hindsight comes into play, scouting staff really should have figured out that Lee’s potential is not that great.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Ummm....
Ottawa got all the scoring needed from Bobby Butler and Geoff Kinrade?

Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
You are correct, I was never a boy.
Although I am familiar with some 80s references as a result of being an 80s baby. But if it’s video games, I think as far back as I get is Duck Hunt and that fucking dog.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
It's totally video games
Contra was a pillar of the formation of a boy in the 80’s. The Konami Code is legendary, and the game is equally legendary.
You can easily identify a child of the 80s by asking them which video game gun is the best gun — the universal answer is “spread.”

What if the Sens need the Flyers to win on the last day to make the playoffs!
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
It's going to be a few years before we're talking about Ottawa making the playoffs
And maybe I’ll hate the Flyers less by then, but there’s a difference between cheering for the Flyers and cheering for the Sens to make the playoffs. In that situation, it would be more cheering against the other team, which isn’t the same as cheering for someone.
Which is all to say I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, but I can rationalize it away :)

But I agree on your contention. Locke and Potulny are the AHL leaders who should keep the B-Sens in contention while Ottawa continually plucks younger prospects up and down off the roster.
That way, assuming the Sens miss the playoffs again, the young kids can go back down for playoff time. Just like what happened this season.
