Stanley Cup Playoffs, day 52: B-Sens try to even things up

No NHL tonight, but there's more AHL Calder Cup Final action as the Binghamton Senators and Houston Aeros face off for game four of their series.
Bingo made a few lineup changes to try to wake the team up, although the biggest one was due to injury: Roman Wick is out with an undisclosed ailment, and David Dziurzynski will take his place in the lineup. Mike Hoffman has been promoted to the top line to take the place of Zack Smith, who doesn't give a crap that he's been relegated to second-line duty. There aren't expected to be any lineup changes on defence, and you can be sure that Robin Lehner will be getting the start in the Senators' net.
The game is once again on Sportsnet Sens in Ottawa, so join us here as we watch with bated breath hoping the B-Sens can claw back into the series.

My only suggestion:
“Z, I’mma roll you with Potulny and Keller for this one.”
Kleinendorst needs a bit more street to his twang.

One of the Sens games this season...I think Atlanta
The 50/50 was like $200. Ha!

AHL hockey is pretty ugly sometimes

The hockey is not clean
Turnovers galore, unstructured play, pucks pouncing and rolling everywhere…

Sorry, the hockey is not good
I don’t mean “not clean” as in “undisciplined”, I mean that it’s not very composed.

I can imagine
This is why I can’t watch junior hockey either.

Did anyone see that "spear"?

It got Potulny raging
And normally Potulny is a cool level guy.

Potulny
Does anyone remember with the Campoli/Potulny deal about a conditional pick if the Sens sign him? I know I heard a couple stipulations speculated on deadline day but don’t know what the conditional bit was about.
I think if he plays a game for Ottawa next season
Chicago gets Ottawa’s 7th rounder
by Alexander Calloway on Jun 3, 2011 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions
If we re-sign Potulny
Chicago gets our 7th rounder this year.

Well worth it I would say
I would guess a 7th rounder is unlikely to even be a good AHL player.

In NHL talk
Chicago will receive the pick if Potulny spends at least one day on Ottawa’s roster during the 2011–12 NHL season.

Oh so if he stays in the AHL the whole year
They get nothing?
And I just realised, would have to be 2012 pick then.

I think it depends on a contract extension
Your caveat means that if Ottawa were to trade for him again next year they’d give up the draft pick, when in reality it’s purely dependent on him re-signing with the Senators organization.

Agreed
It’s a small price to pay given the production he’s shown for us

They're keeping Hackett in the net
Bingo ties it!

Lehner gets his third shutout
Bingo ties it, and game five is tomorrow.

Woo Lehner!
5 goals allowed in 4 games in the finals! Could have been another sweep!

He's got the Butterfield locked up at this point
Rallied his team from down 3-1, three shutouts, come one.

It's going to be interesting to see him next season
Either he’s going to win the Calder Cup or come very close.
Either way, it might be tough for him to motivate himself for a game in I don’t know…Adirondack or wherever, having done already so much. I hope he doesn’t have a let down season.

Uhh
Either he’s going to win the Calder Cup or come very close.
Well obviously. He’s the starter in the finals heading into game 5 all tied up…. Clearly he’s going to get close if he doesn’t win.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I think what Adnan is saying is that whatever the case winds up being, the success might make it hard to motivate himself next year
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
For sure
I suspect there’s going to be plenty of adversity for him next year, though. It’s not like he was outstanding in the AHL last year. Hopefully, Murray will remind him that he hasn’t done shit in the regular season, and keep him focused on that goal before he begins his hunt for Anderson.
The really frightening thing is that if Anderson falters or gets injured, there’s going to be calls for Lehner too quickly.

I just want Lehner to get games
I don’t mind him playing a few games in the NHL but, what I absolutely don’t want is him sitting on the bench in the NHL for 3 weeks again.
An Ottawa Senators supporter in Toronto, Ontario. I am cool like that.
I'm in total agreement
I feel like his playoff run here has shown how crucial regular play is to his development at this point in his career.

Plenty of motivation
An NHL roster spot is always going to be motivation for him. That’s part of what I like about the Anderson signing: Lehner is not going to get anything handed to him. Even if he manages to lead the team to the championship this season (a task which there is still a long road ahead), he’s still extremely unlikely to be the starter next year. So he’s got to keep plugging away at it.

Woo Bingo!
Man, tomorrow’s going to be rough after the way tonight’s game ended.
