PrintEdmonton Oilers at Ottawa Senators, Feb 11, 2012 2:00 PM EST
The Ottawa Senators will finish off what has been a disappointing homestand with an afternoon game against the Edmonton Oilers. Having lost the first three games, the Senators finally won Thursday night against Nashville. Today, they host an Edmonton club that is second last in the NHL overall and have the worst road record in the NHL, winning just 6 of their 28 road games (6-20-2). The Oilers will be finish off their their three-game road trip where they have been outscored 10-5 in the first two games.
Oh and it is Hockey Day in Canada, so we might see some chest-thumping about how it is "our" game and such.
Craig Anderson will get the start for Ottawa, but there will be no other changes. Here are the lines:
GO SENS GO!
Here is what I will be watching for:
- Offence from Erik Karlsson: He hasn't played terribly (played over 32 minutes against St. Louis), but he hasn't had a point in four straight games. He has 14 shots in that span and has setup teammates while the power play was looking very dangerous against Nashville. Still, he hasn't been among the points so hopefully he can change that.
- Offence from Kyle Turris: Turris is another player that hasn't been on the scoreboard in the last four games. His goal against Boston is his only point in eight games.
- Anderson returns: Craig Anderson played only 3:49 against St. Louis and didn't play at all against Nashville. So he hasn't really had any significant action since last Saturday. He should be well rested and fatigue can't be an excuse today. Anderson has an .877 save percentage and 4.20 goals against average since the all-star break.
- Stopping Sam Gagner: I don't know where this came from, but since his eight point night, he has added another six points in the next three games for a total of 8 goals and 6 assists in the last four games.

I kinda hope this is the end for Carkner. Good guy and all that but BLee is far outplaying him. I hope we keep him for depth (our long playoff run will take its toll).
The 'A' on Minnesotta Wild winger Dany Heatley's jersey does NOT stand for 'assistant'.
Not sure that's fair for Carkner
His injury kept him out of training camp, so I’m willing to give him a bit of a mulligan so far. He’s still working on getting into mid-season form.

Yep. They're here to show the NHL that they want their team back.
They’ve agreed to cheer for us today, supposedly. We should invite them back for the next Leafs game to crank the volume.

Co-manager, Silver Seven
Will CBC stream the game, at least?
That’s what I was hoping for, since I’m at the shop today…
ALFIE! ALFIE! ALFIE!
They stream every one of their games
As long as it’s airing on CBC somewhere, it’s available for streaming nation-wide.
Not all
1 early and 1 late every week I believe. Maybe 3 when there’s an afternoon game. They’ve only got the one Punjabi commentary team, so they can’t do all the games.
Well they broadcast more Punjabi games than any other network in North America
I’ll bet money on that
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Makes sense you'd get the team that's closer
But at least it’s online since it’s CBC!
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Then I've got nothing
Maybe it’s a regional blackout thing keeping Oilers games from being played on Canucks turf?
Or maybe it’s just Darren’s fault for getting Shaw.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Maybe it’s the Oilers/Canucks rivalary and no one in BC wants to see Edmonton?
I love soft players (especially Europeans) that play on the perimeter. Enigmas are awesome. Grit and heart-and-soul are red flags.
Erik Karlsson is better than your favourite player.

can’t be a blackout because I am in BC and I get it :)
but if he has multiple CBC channels he should get it on one of them because I think if I looked hard enough I could find the WPG game somewhere (but I am too lazy to look and I want to watch in HD lol)
Go Canucks Go!

Am I the only one a bit disappointed that he doesn't get an awkward painting of himself?
Like so:
Or especially like so:
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Much less awkward than these two, though
I wanted him to get something like that Gonchar one.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I would have painted him grabbing a bull by the horns
It’s a metaphor.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
The Gonchar one is such an awkward gift to give someone, though
Here. We got you a painting of yourself. In the uniform of a team you’ve played for for a whole year!
Oh Captain, my Captain!
haha, yeah, it's pretty bad
“You know the worst years of your career? THEY ARE IMMORTALIZED.”
Co-manager, Silver Seven
Well, he had only been there for a handful of games at the time
So it’s hard to represent his history with the team other than with a painting of himself
well, i think the better idea would have been a painting that had different gonchars for each team
Co-manager, Silver Seven
At least it takes some effort
The Gonchar one kind of looks like they just took a random photo to one of those automated turn-your-photo-into-a-painting stores.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I think it would be hilarious if someone announced their retirement immediately before a game

Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I think that's the discussion he's having with his peeps.
Right now I think it’s a quality of life thing – if he has another concussion we’re talking memory loss, vertigo, mood swings etc. So I think he’s wondering whether it’s worth it – given he’s wonder almost every major trophy worth having.
Did anyone see that clip with Pronger’s wife in the last few months about what he’s going through? Scary – wouldn’t wish that on any player
Go Canucks Go!
The problem I have with this is that Pronger has delivered so many illegal hits to the head
As a fellow human being, I feel bad for him. But as a hockey fan, I can’t help but feel it’s karmic retribution for his playing style.

There's not much hype that I've noticed
The thing about Ottawa is that people are really interested in the current team, so they’re not following the other guys except very superficially.
Bobby being the major exception…

Well, to be fair
I still think of like half of our roster as prospects. All those kids we called up this time last year are still prospects in my mind.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I'm the same way
Cowen is an effing rookie, but we’ve already decided he’ll never be a top pairing guy. WTF?
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
It’s not that we’ve decided that he’ll never be a top pairing guy. It’s that some felt he is already a top pairing guy with Karlsson in the future.
I love soft players (especially Europeans) that play on the perimeter. Enigmas are awesome. Grit and heart-and-soul are red flags.

Was it the handshake thing?
Sir Alex Ferguson branded Luis Suarez a “disgrace” for refusing to shake Patrice Evra’s hand before Manchester United’s ill-tempered 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
“Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club,” said United manager Ferguson. “He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. He could have caused a riot.”

He might not be a puck hog
But he still commands possession of the puck at least as much as Malkin would. Without Crosby in the lineup, no one on the Penguins roster even comes close.

Not even close
A good player, don’t get me wrong, but not even close. I also wouldn’t classify Staal as a puck-possession player in the same vein of Crosby and Malkin; he’s more of a grinding, physical kind of player, no?

You mean where the guy was sentenced to two years less a day?

Two years less a day is so that the convict remains in Provincial custody. Two years or more means Federal prison

I know that
My point was that I said the sentences are in the realm of 2 years and you suggested that Luangpakham got off way easier when in fact he got 2 years less a day. I can’t find the trial decision, but I imagine he’s serving concurrent sentences for each person he hit so it’s not like he was sentenced to a few weeks per person.

They do usually tack on driving prohibitions
And to be fair, the maximum sentences are 10 years each for both the dangerous driving and leaving the scene, and the courts have held that those sentences are consecutive instead of concurrent

7 bench minors in 58 games this year.
Only 3 in 82 games last year.

I'll believe you when you give me Too Many Men numbers.
Considering that bench minors includes delay of game and unsportsmanlike conduct, you can’t just use bench minor numbers to say we’re taking fewer Too Many Men penalties. Also you should be looking at both of Clouston’s seasons coaching us instead of just one.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I don’t think they include delay of game, that was a typo. But they do include upsportsmanlike only if it is a coach or someone on bench.

Either way, with unsportsmanlike conduct in there, you can't equate bench minors with stuff that's attributable to the coach
