PrintWashington Capitals at Ottawa Senators, Feb 22, 2012 7:00 PM EST
Tonight, the Senators take on the Capitals, but there could be one notable exception from the Washington lineup: Alexander Ovechkin left practice early on Wednesday afternoon, and is a game-time decision for the game this evening due to a "lower-body injury." Most signs seem to indicate it's highly unlikely he'll play, although there is still a chance Great Eight will suit up. Time will tell.
With or without Ovechkin, it's a huge game for the Capitals, who are just two points back of the Southeast Division-leading Florida Panthers, and two points out of a playoff spot. It's hardly less important for the Sens, though, as they continue holding back rivals for the last few playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
Speaking of the Panthers, tonight will be a battle of former Florida starters with Craig Anderson facing off against Tomas Vokoun. In his career versus the Sens, Vokoun is 5-11 with a 3.19 GAA and a .903 save percentage. Anderson has a 4-5-1 record all-time against the Caps.
The Sens lineup is unchanged for the evening, so Matt Carkner and Zenon Konopka remain healthy scratches. The lines look like this:
And that's that. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

But Vancouver is more than twice as far from Ottawa as Atlanta is from Ottawa.

In that case I’m just more mad because he came all this way and snubbed me. This calls for a rumble.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Who else here is listening to Frank Stallone – Peace In Our Life to pump up for this game?!?!
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
i'm not sure what's funnier
how bad that song is OR how poorly matched that song is with the video montage (and did you notice the foreign language voice-over)?
in any case, if you were gonna go that way with the pump up song, you could have at least done Survivor – Eye of the Tiger
You still don't understand how to pump up
You have much to learn, young one.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
The funny thing is, Mark...
When I first joined the S7S site, I thought a lot of your pump up songs were actually quite good. I went through a bit of an 80s hair metal phase. Still have a soft spot for it.
by Pirateninjabot on Feb 22, 2012 6:37 PM EST up reply actions
80's hair metal is my favorite genre
But I think a lot of it is really terrible, in the vein of “so bad it’s good.” I save the actual good stuff for meaningful games. I’d never waste Chain Reaction on a night like tonight, but I would use the vastly inferior Round and Round, for example.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
There are a lot of great Queen songs
If I were going to pump up, I’d use “The Hero”, though. That’s in my workout playlist.

80s hair metal IS pretty awesome
After a while though it grows on you and no longer is “so bad that it’s good” but, so good that it’s great! One of my favourites is Final Countdown by Europe. Ever see this cover by a bunch of guys playing cello?
by Pirateninjabot on Feb 22, 2012 6:45 PM EST up reply actions
Personally I prefer the 80s rock power ballad
Don’t get me wrong, hair metal is great. But not as great as Always or November Rain or Faithfully.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
The first five minutes of November Rain, yes
The remainder of the song, no.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Well yeah
Really it works best with the ridiculous video where the bride is apparently the wicked witch of the west.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Man, I remember watching that as a kid and thinking to myself, "This is the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen in my life"
But I never liked any GNR album after Appetite for Destruction, so I’m pretty biased.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
the double albums and the b-sides one
have some pretty solid tracks on them. Appetite for Destruction goes down as one of the best debut albums of all time though, with Zeppelin I.
I'd include Boston in that debut group
But I agree with everything you’ve said there.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
whew
between curling babes and pump-up songs, i was worried the divide was getting pretty wide. we’ll always have the Sens though…
Ha
But I love the strategy involved with curling, though! It’s like crack to me.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
dude
technical error in the video… how the hell can Slash play his guitar in the desert when it’s NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN?!?!
Yes, that's the part that makes the least sense
That whole bit where the bride dies either because it starts to rain at her wedding or because someone knocked over a bottle of wine… That stuff is totally logical.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I like how that's what you focus on in that video
Though I guess with your name, I can understand
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
:D
the funny part is, though I joke about it now as the thing I focus on, when I was 14 that WAS what i focused on. That and Matt Sorum playing the same(ish) drum fill over and over again… oh to be young again.
Oh man, I love Apocalyptica
Still, Final Countdown is too overplayed for me to ever choose it as a pump up song.
Never say never, I guess, but don’t hold your breath.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
twisted sister, quiet riot, gun and roses, etc. was just good, fun music. Poison, Faster Pussycat, etc. – blech!
There's a Faster Pussycat song on my Ultimate 80's Wankers Mix CD
It’s my picks of the best of the awesomely bad. I love it.

Anyone else think Phoenix is crazy?
I mean, Vermette’s good and all, but seriously?! That’s more than we got for Fisher last year.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Right there with ya.
Anyone who thinks that this puts Phoenix over the top even just for the first round is nuts.
it's not just a move for this year
Vermette is under contract for a couple more years. Kinda like Fisher.

i think Vermette fits with Phoenix
he’s a pretty responsible forward. I think Tippett likes that kind of thing.
Yeah but it's not like he didn't fit in Columbus
He’s done really well there
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Kelly fit here too
but you have to give someting of value up to get value. Not saying equal value was swapped just that moving pieces like Vermette is par for the course for a rebuilding team. Them moving Nash is nuts.
Oh sure
I just think Phoenix way overpaid, and I read your comment as if he hadn’t really been fitting in before the trade – like when we traded him, or when we traded Fisher last year. Both were doing well with us, but they never really fit here the way they did after we traded them away.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Still, though
Vermette is not Fisher. And Phoenix paid more than Nashville did for Fisher…. I think it’s a crazy deal, but good for the Columbus GM. This seems almost as awesome as Andy for Elliott.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Did they?
We got a first and a third for Fisher. They got a 2nd and a 5th. Granted, and McElhinney, but let’s not forget that we picked him up for free last year. I’m not sure that McElhinney’s value is worth saying that they got more than a 1st and a 3rd.

I'm really surprised by how much they gave up
But I think Vermette is going to excel in Dave Tippet’s system, so if they were in a bidding war, the overpayment is probably justified.

I had a HUGE crush on Suzanne Gaudet back in the day. What a babe. AND a great skip.

Alfie is both ageless and immortal
It’s a big part of why we love him so much.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Sort of
But Alfie ages when and how he wants to. Like when he wanted to be Santa for his kids so he allowed his facial hair to go a wee bit grey so he could look the part.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
he grows a better mustouche than Alfie
he needs to show Alfie a thing or two about facial-hair grooming.
I thought we'd retired that meme?
Seriously I’ve never seen video of Hasse when he’s not looking jolly
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I think our memes just run in relation to how much we have to celebrate on the ice
Sens are winning; no need to find joy in the little things.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
K, but this one was retired for poor taste, no?
Not because we have more or less to celebrate but because the pic was taken when Hasse found out his wife was dying or seriously ill.

Preliminary itinerary is London, Berlin, Amsterdam (I don’t really want to go there but my buddy does), Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.

Y’know, people talk about how he must be shooting more now, but I swear most of his assists are probably rebounds and tip in. I feel like there weren’t as many passes as people make it seem…

I feel like most of his assists are calculated passes. Case in point tonight.

Hi everyone!
He was just getting terribly unlucky earlier in the season. Now an unusually number of shots are going in. Shooting % is still only 6.53% which is still lower than last year’s 7.1%

nothing to lose in waiting to sign from his side
except maybe injury. Otherwise, i think we all had a pretty good idea he was going to be at least as good as he was end of last season.
I guess, but the potential was there even if the numbers weren't
He was poised to do really well this year, so I don’t know if his agent would’ve gone for that gamble
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Whatever he would have gotten at the beginning of the year would be way less than what he will get now.

Brees and Nicks should be staying. Colston, unfortunately, will probably walk. Tracy Porter will only be kept if he comes cheap, same with Aubrayo Franklin and Robert Meachem. The rest can walk
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
I want Nicks and Colston.
Titans are in desperate for someone like Nicks and definitely need a boost in the WR area.
by Los Blancos Chicca on Feb 22, 2012 8:01 PM EST up reply actions
Nicks is the best guard in the league. Too bad he’s playing hardball with management right now. He wants more money than the 7 year, 56 million dollar contract we gave to Jahri Evans last year. Receivers are gonna get paid a ton of money this year, which is why I think Colston walks. There’s so many teams that need a number one, and so few true number one receivers on the market.
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
I agree about receivers..
In Titans’ case they have a beast-to-be WR who is injury prone, a full of heart WR as second (who played first and got severely banged up last year) and meeeh after that. Nate Washington on any other team would be a third WR.
But the main issue is the O-Line. Tackles are good, pass protection is great, but run blocking sticks. They need a C and G badly.
Nicks is playing hard ball and that is because he thinks he could.

They're too close to the division lead, I think
But I’m betting on some offseason changes. This is a disaster for a team that talented, even with injuries.

I think they need an offensive minded coach. Hunter’s style and the players style don’t match.
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.

I don't think Ovechkin is the problem

Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
He doesn't exactly seem to be helping this year though
But yeah, I don’t think he magically regressed in skill to the level he was at when he was 12 during the off-season.
They might not be by Monday
If Florida wins 2 or 3 of 3 before then, or Winnipeg goes 2 for 2 and the Caps drop their next 2…. That would put them 6-8 points back. Add in a few blow-outs (like Monday and tonight), and you could have some last minute fire sale potential.
I could definitely see a draft weekend sale
But they’re too close to a playoff spot to do anything drastic. Though they could try to add someone, I suppose.

They might move Semin as he is a UFA.

I was thinking I would try to flip Semin for Nash if I were them
But I don’t know why that would be attractive to Columbus.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I don't get how you think Semin is a good idea
We tried that already with Alex Kovalev, and before that with Alexei Yashin. It doesn’t matter if he’s more talented, if you can’t rely on him to play at a professional level every night.

Yashin was a good player while he was with us, and then got us Chara and Spezza.
But I wasn’t advocating Ottawa trade for him, I said Washington might trade for him. I would love to see sign Semin as a UFA.
Colin Greening with Spezza or Semin…err…

We might want to start trying again
TSN is finally acknowledging that Karlsson might be a Norris candidate. Stupid Steve Smith of the Suns said he wasn’t even a finalist the other day.
I’m frankly more impressed that they suggested Spezza for Hart. The points alone for Karlsson make you have to take him seriously as at least a finalist.
