Jets bomb Senators 2-0

Tough game to be at. A bunch of Leaf-esque Winnipeg fans at the game getting really annoying. So what does one do in this situation? Return the favour of course.

I discovered it REALLY gets under their skin to chant “Let’s go Thrashers!” and then immediately switch to “Let’s go Phoenix!” and then on to “Let’s go Bettman”.

jason spezzas back check. both goals against could have been taken away with alittle more effort from number 19.

He’s a worse hybrid being than that Quato guy… :D

Being from Winnipeg I was still cheering for the Sens (of course) and it got extremely frustrating. Not only did they play worse than I’ve seen them this year, but I had to take abuse from other people watching the game…. all game.
The second thing I noticed in the game was that the reffing was terrible…. now I don’t normally take it out on the ref, and I will not blame them for the game. But the powerplays that the Sens did not get could have changed the game. Lets start with Kanes hit on Karlsson: left his feet, elbow to the face AND the ref was standing right there. No call. If Shannahan doesn’t give him a fine at the very least I will be extremely annoyed! Then the play Neil got a double minor for… I believe that Kane had the first shot after the (clean) hit, Stuart was the third guy in and Kane did everything in his power to start a fight and then decided not to drop the gloves. There should not have been a double minor for that. Then there was Carkner hitting Kane then Kane grabbing his stick out of his hands and throwing it on the ice…. again, no call! Last of all, Neils tripping penalty. That penalty was legit…. but it shouldn’t have happened because Miettinen tripped the defenceman right before Neil tripped the jet… The jets scored on the power play.
Don’t get me wrong… the sens played awful tonight! But think of how these penalties could have potentially made the difference in the game! Maybe the jets wouldn’t have gotten the second goal, and maybe it would have been a different game.

Which is the best way to be on the first night of back to back games and right as you’re about to embark on a Western road trip.

Serioulsy though, they just looked fatigued. They weren’t closing down the points, and they were slow to some of the other things they normally do.

They did look good in the third when they got some real urgency in them. I agree that a timely goal might have changed everything.

In the end, probably a good reminder about not having let-up games, and a wake-up call before tonight’s game. We’d gotten away with a couple stinkers in NY and Montreal, and probably needed to lose a game they didn’t deserve to win.

Anaheim took Ottawa out of the series right away with physical play and being quick to the puck. Sens waited until the final two minutes to play with the same intensity.

Been playing awful and boring hockey the last three games, depending on Anderson to win. Seems like they just haven’t put any effort in. Strangely it coincides with the same time Murray made his comments about adding to the club. Maybe they lost some confidence ? Probably not but either way aren’t gonna win too many games with these kind of efforts. Hopefully the loss wakes them up.

And I think it would have made a difference in the outcome. The puck bounced over Mason’s left leg, fell in behind him and between his legs – over the line. It was then under his foot. If the mesh wasnt there it would have been easy to see, but with the colour of Masons gear and the mesh it was hard to see – but it was definitely in.

Dirty shit to follow.
