PrintOttawa Senators at Boston Bruins, Jan 31, 2012 7:00 PM EST
The Ottawa Senators, with several players playing on left wing as usual, will return to action tonight when they take on Tim Thomas and the Boston Bruins. The Senators have lost three in a row and tonight will finish off a stretch of six consecutive road games. A loss and the Senators return home with a four-game losing streak and do not play again until Friday. They could also see their lead on ninth place drop to three points. Still, it is a road game in Boston, so another loss is the most expected outcome. But this team has a habit of surprising us doesn't it?
Here are the lines from Sylvain St-Laurent.
Colin Greening - Jason Spezza - Milan Michalek
Nick Foligno - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Erik Condra - Zack Smith - Bobby Butler
Kaspars Daugavins - Zenon Konopka - Chris Neil
Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson
Jared Cowen - Sergei Gonchar
Chris Phillips - Matt Carkner
Craig Anderson (starter)
Alex Auld
More after the jump.
Here are some things to look out for tonight:
- Will the team have more jump: The Senators looked exhausted towards the end of the trip. Most of the players have had a nice break, and the others were enjoying themselves at the all-star game. The team might lose but hopefully they play well.
- Anderson and Karlsson: Anderson has started however many consecutive games, but he's had a week off to chill in Florida. The tiring out issues should be okay for another two weeks right? Karlsson while picking up the points, didn't have the same jump in those last few games. Can he bounce back?
- Can Alfie score on Thomas: Assuming Tim Thomas starts tonight, can Alfie finally score on Thomas after failing to do so on a couple of glorious chances at the all-star game. Even though this game "matters" more, I bet it would have been remembered more if he scored a hat trick at his home all-star game than in a random regular season game.
- How many Tim Thomas and left wing/right wing/centre jokes will I make?: Probably a lot. Does Michalek count as a left winger or a right winger? What about Condra?

A likely loss

Tea Partyin' Trashtalk?
Think anyone will start using Thomas’ Obama boycott to trashtalk him? Maybe a “Pretend the puck is Obama, and avoid it!” or a “I’m gonna crash the net and raise your taxes!” Maybe the Sens can start chanting “Yes We Can” before they shoot.
Okay, not going to happen, but it entertains me to imagine it.

I’ve switched to TELUS and now can access the ’entire Sportsnet package". Will I, in Vancouver, be able to watch the Ottawa regional broadcast? Anybody outside of Ottawa able to watch the regional telecast or is it blacked out.

Although, I may only be saying this so I don’t get my hopes up, my teams gets a chance to impress the NHL once again, and this may jynx Boston.

Everyone is a positive except Konopka/Daugavins who are 0.
Turris leads the way with +14

Wait a minute..
I just saw something I didnt understand… I think it was NESN, but they were discussing the trade of Tuomo Ruutu… and they said Ottawa and Toronto were the most likely places for him to go, as both need second line centers. What is kyle exactly if not a second line center? A water boy?!?!?!
I think Ruutu is a winger. He’s only taken 114 face-offs this season.
But yeah I don’t think we should get him, he’s a UFA and isn’t a huge improvement on current options.

He plays center sometimes, although he’s not too aggressive this year. I’d rather have foligno if he keeps up this aggrassive style of play.

But I didnt expect them to do it with luck. Shitty… Sens play hard and theyre not rewarded. Sens suck and they win games. I DONT UNDERSTANDDDDDD.
sens really shutting themselves down now...
3 straight bruins goals..
How the hell have the Bruins not picked up a single penalty? I think it’s about time for an even up call here or something.

I know that
More so, When does play stop? I’m pretty sure a boston player hit the puck above the crossbar to move it away form the goal.
by A. Al Najjar on Jan 31, 2012 9:20 PM EST up reply actions
It depends
If you’re talking about a goal, it’s the crossbar. If the play is in the middle of the play, then it’s the shoulders.
60.5 Goals – An apparent goal scored by an attacking player who strikes the puck with his stick carried above the height of the crossbar of the goal frame shall not be allowed. The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick. If the puck makes contact with the stick below the level of the crossbar and enters the goal, this goal shall be allowed.
80.1 High-sticking the Puck – Batting the puck above the normal height of the shoulders with a stick is prohibited. When a puck is struck with a high stick and subsequently comes into the possession and control of a player from the offending team (including the player who made contact with the puck), either directly or deflected off any player or official,there shall be a whistle.
When a puck has been contacted by a high stick, the play shall be permitted to continue, provided that:
(i) the puck has been batted to an opponent (when a player bats the puck to an opponent, the Referee shall give the "washout" signal immediately. Otherwise, he will stop the play).
(ii) a player of the defending side shall bat the puck into his own goal in which case the goal shall be allowed.
Cradling the puck on the blade of the stick (like lacrosse) above the normal height of the shoulders shall be prohibited and a stoppage of play shall result. If this is done by a player on a penalty shot or shootout attempt, the shot shall be stopped immediately and considered complete.

K WHERE ARE THE FUCKING PeNALTIES
i’ve seen at least 2 that were DEFINITLY calls, and 3 that were up in the air.
Who won the two fights earlier?
Wasn’t able to get to the t.v. didn’t feel like reading all the comments…sorry peeps lol.
Boston "won" both of them
Neil was especially destroyed, although he took the fights like a champ.

Paul Maclean swearing his headoff at the referees
The refs were an absolute embarassment.
They should be completely ashamed of themselves.
I don’t care what anyone says, nobody can deny the bias against the Sens.
0 penalties for the Bruins? Gimme a complete fucking break.
I'll deny a bias against the Sens
Although I won’t deny that the reffing tonight was an embarrassment.

Please make MacLean a Sens Hero tonight for that little spout from the bench that will probably cost him some $$.
I like this idea.
I know Potvin is a total homer, but it really is kind blatant at this point. And I really dislike blaming refs.

"THATS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!"
Hats off to you Mr. Maclaen
Well, I never thought I would say this, but
we were robbed, by the refs
We blew it
Phillips blew it, and Anderson blew it.
Two penalties against and no powerplays shouldn’t be enough to cost a team a 3-1 lead.

what a stupid game!
so frustrating.
to win stanley cups, you gotta me dirty and get away with it. anahiem and boston has done that well.
Honestly...
Is there NOTHING that can be done by the team to bring this bullshit up with the league? I mean, this isn’t just the fan in me talking… it’s utter crap. They just showed three or four OBVIOUS calls that went uncalled.
I realize that there’s likely nothing that can/will be done, but it’s BEYOND frustrating to watch shit like this, game after game.
ALFIE! ALFIE! ALFIE!
Sincerely. It's getting so fucking obvious now that it's scary.
3-point games all over the fucking league, and we can’t even get one fuckin’ shitty penalty called in our favour.
What the hell is the name of this shitty ass ref that called Karlsson a diver?
I wanna firebomb his house.
Completely unacceptable. Absolutely shitty to watch as a fan.
That’s it, I’m done ranting.
Frig off Marchand you pansy ass 3rd grade education pussy boy.
Dan O’Rourke I believe.
Here’s his wikipage for vandalizing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_O’Rourke
hehe, don’t really do it though…
It's just day in, day out with this bullshit.
If I were Paul Maclean I woulda pulled the ol’ bench toss.
Who will hear our calls for justice? This goes all the way to the top! Bettman’s like the head dirty cop.
The most penalized team in the league? The SENATORS?!?! Considering the guys that play big minutes for us (Michalek, Alfie, Spez, Turris, Karlsson, Cowen), this is a shocking ass statistic. Yes I know we have Carkner, Neil and Konopka but still. Gimme a fuckin’ break. No respect is right.
lol i thought they automatically won with their 4-1 lead
it KINDA softens up tonite’s stupid loss…ONLY because i thought they would get those 2 points.
