PrintToronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators, Feb 4, 2012 7:00 PM EST
The Ottawa Senators play at the start of January bought them a lot of room for error later in the season. They have used up most of that room now after losing five consecutive games. Ottawa will begin their fifth meeting against the Toronto Maple Leafs sitting three points ahead of Toronto having played three more games. A regulation win and the Senators open up a five point gap, a regulation loss and the lead is down to a single point despite all the extra games played. With Washington's win earlier today, Ottawa is no longer in the top eight in the eastern conference in points per game.
There will no changes to the lineup. Craig Anderson will make his 17th consecutive start and Jason Spezza is healthy enough to play as well. Bobby Butler will be a healthy scratch again for Jim O'Brien. Here are the lines based on the in-game lines from last night.
Milan Michalek - Jason Spezza - Erik Condra
Nick Foligno - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Colin Greening - Zack Smith - Chris Neil
Kaspars Daugavins - Zenon Konopka - Jim O'Brien
Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson
Jared Cowen - Sergei Gonchar
Chris Phillips - Matt Carkner
Craig Anderson (starter)
Alex Auld
GO SENS GO!
Here are some items to look at tonight:
- Jason Spezza's health: Spezza played only 15:44 last night in an overtime game, which was only sixth most among Ottawa forwards. How badly is he hurting and is it worth risking even in such an important game?
- Score some goals: The Senators main problem these days isn't defence or goaltending, it is scoring goals. They have only scored 8 goals in the five-game losing streak, and exactly one goal in three of the games.
- Cowen's mistakes: As poorly as Ottawa played last night, they might have escaped with a win anyway were it not for a couple of shocking decisions by Jared Cowen. How will he respond to that tonight? Paul MacLean put him and Sergei Gonchar on the ice for only one defensive zone face-off last night on even strength.
- Top lines struggling: While Spezza and Milan Michalek haven't been on target recently, the Leafs have similar problems. Phil Kessel has just three points in his last 10 games. Like the Senators have had strong play from the Alfredsson/Turris line, Mikhail Grabovski has 9 points in the last four games for Toronto.

It is a very small difference between finishing first in the standings and being left out of the playoffs, but I will tell you one thing – the Toronto Maple Leafs will miss the playoffs while Grabovski is still with the team. Go ahead and write it – I guarantee we’ll win this game.

Ryan Smyth
Does anyone else feel like if they ever hear Ryan Smyth described as “Captain Canada” or in any way treated as a loyal servant of the Oilers, they’ll just freak the fuck out?
The guy basically pushed his way out of Edmonton, then almost went to their biggest rivals in Calgary last year.
Also, he’s not good enough to play on Team Canada. Shouldn’t that be a prerequisite for the nickname “Captain Canada”?
The Canadian media is far more pro-Ryan Smyth than makes any sense.
He was once called the worst participant Cirque du Soleil ever had.

I think the Captain Canada part is because he always played for Canada at the World Championships.

The Leafs have been dictating it all week. They wore their blues in Pittsburgh, then their whites at the ACC a day later.
Since my ruddy complexion makes wearing red an impossibility, I’d be happy if we always wore white. Think the league would let the Jets wear white for a home playoff game? Maybe if the visiting Leafs wanted to wear blue, but that would never happen – Leafs in the playoffs, I mean.

Is it just a thing where a team can request to wear a certain jersey? Seems to defeat the purpose of home and away jerseys.

3rd line
Anyone else thinking Paulrus should try reuniting Smith Condra and the Rooster again? Loved the energy that line brought earlier this season. And brought some good secondary scoring along with it (many times short handed if I do recall correctly)

That line was terrific
Smith and Condra are generally terrific for 3rd liners, regardless of who they play with ….. but Rooster’s best was with them

I want to see O'Brien score tonight
I love soft players (especially Europeans) that play on the perimeter. Enigmas are awesome. Grit and heart-and-soul are red flags.

Told him to Suck It.

Suck it, Toronto
Only way a Leafs player will drop the gloves is if somebody takes liberties with Reimer
They don’t have Tucker or Domi anymore

Mike Brown will go with anyone, but I doubt he feels like it tonight.

no reason to fight
we’re whooping you guys.
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
I do miss Tucker and Domi though.

Pffft. All the more reason to man up, unlike Crabb.

Crabb's not a fighter
That would be a mismatch.

Foligno's not a fighter either
But he answered the bell when Phaneuf started throwing.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Since when is Phaneuf a fighter?
He also threw a cheap hit.
Carkner is a fighter. Crabb will fight Carkner when Spezza fights Rosehill or Orr when we had him.
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
Well, I obviously feel differently about the hit
But mostly I was being facetious because there’s not much else to say about this assbag of a game.

It was more of a “I only get to go to the ACC once in a blue moon so Im staying”
Being a Leafs fan makes me bipolar.
Reasons are irrelevant!

I couldn't leave SBP early if I wanted
Because I don’t have a car and the buses don’t leave until the game ends. ;)

Yep, there is no regular bus route to the game, only “special” event ones. They only leave after the game.

Uncontested surrender at the end.

Not much to cheer about tonight
But still… you can’t just cheer when they’re winning.

I don’t envy those riding the bus back to town. The chanting, the contact high from the in-bus doobies ….
Okay, so I envy them a little.

Kind of Funny Actually
Youll almost never find a crowd at the ACC sounding like that
I outwaited them all. Leafs fans jammed into the buses over and over.
Then it was down to me and one other guy. They found us a nice little 401 who took us along the highway to our stops, and even beat the last 401 that had departed. Peace and quiet and a bus all to ourselves. :D

At this point last game, Sam Gagne had zero points.
He’s on pace to smash Sittler’s record, if my math is correct

Anyone can score against teams like Detroit and Chicago, but wait until he faces some tough competition.
