PrintSt. Louis Blues at Ottawa Senators, Feb 7, 2012 7:30 PM EST
The Ottawa Senators will try to end their losing streak at six-games tonight when they host Brian Elliott and the St. Louis Blues. The Senators skid has seen them drop to eighth in the standings, three points ahead of ninth place Washington with the Capitals having three games in hand. A win tonight will go a long way towards righting the ship.
There will no changes tonight. Craig Anderson starts again, Bobby Butler is a scratch again. Here are the lines from Sylvain St-Laurent:
Colin Greening - Jason Spezza - Milan Michalek
Erik Condra - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Nick Foligno - 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!
What am I looking for tonight?
- A win: This streak is getting long and depressing. Let's end it tonight okay?
- Brian Elliott's return: This is Elliott's first game back as an opposition player in Ottawa. He played in Ottawa at the all-star game and got a nice applause from the crowd. Hopefully he returns to his old Ottawa form for one night though.
- Offence: The Senators simply haven't been able to score. You can't win without scoring goals. It's pretty simple, Jason Spezza has to step up. Daniel Alfredsson has to step up. Kyle Turris has to step up. Milan Michalek has to step up. Erik Karlsson has to step up. The Senators got almost 50 shots the last game, but hopefully they can get a bit more puck luck tonight.
- Power play: The power play hasn't scored the few times it has been given a chance. I also have no idea why Chris Neil continues to get power play time on the first unit, or any unit for that matter. To prove me wrong, maybe he will score tonight. Probably not though.
- Craig Anderson: Anderson hasn't been playing that great either, allowing 11 goals in the last three games. An offensively challenged team needs him to make some saves.

Good effort
Let’s get back to skating. We’re a tough team to stop when we’re skating well.

Home whites FTW!

Can we all agree
That home whites are the worst idea the NHL has ever come up with?
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
If by worst, you mean awesomest, and if by come up with, you mean spent the better part of a century enjoying, then yes, we can agree.

I'm with you.
For decades, every sport other than football had an iron-clad rule: Whites at home, darks on the road. As soon as you flipped on the game, whichever game, you knew exactly who was who and where they were.
Wow.
Can I take it back? As much as it seems like I was paying attention while typing, I clearly wasn’t. Road whites suck. Home whites kick ass.
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
TOO LATE, LUTHOR
But I won’t punish you because I agree with your sig.

I would settle for home blacks, if they took the SENS jerseys and replaced the wordmark with the 2-D centurion.
BTW, I have a blank all-black, with red numbering. Any suggestions on who I should get on the nameplate?
I’ve been leaning toward Sylvain Turgeon.

Sarcastic font or not, I think Wyshynski would say that name was in poor taste, due to the vintage.
I may be wrong, but I think Daigle came along only after we switched to black-with-white.

If they keep the heritage jersey next season, I may just become one of those guys and buy myself another.
Weird story. My old boss would allow us to wear jeans and sneakers on game days in 07-08, a long as we wore a white jersey. I rationalized the cost of my new Elliott shirt by calculating the savings in dry cleaning on pants/shirts.
Now that I like another new jersey, I guess there’s no more making fun of people who collect jerseys every time the team makes a new cash grab.

Potentially.
My memory of being a 6 year old is a little bit hazy. I honestly couldn’t tell you which jerseys started/ended when
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
If memory serves (from last month’s visit to one of them jersey history sites – not from the 90s), we went from all-black with red numbers, to all-black with white numbers, to black/red/white, all in the first five or so seasons.
There may have been other subtle changes, but I think I may own a second-year shirt, which is almost identical to the original, when unnumbered.

I do remember we switched a lot

Nope. I called no backsies. You just didn’t hear me because you were in the parking lot calling shotgun.
After letting the Leafs wear home whites/road blues for three consecutive games, the league owes it to Winnipeg to let them prepare for a playoff whiteout tonight versus the blue Leafs, tonight.

Where were you when I was looking for an Elliott jersey to borrow for All Star weekend?
Oh Captain, my Captain!
At home, wearing some other shirt, while my jersey hung in the back of my closet. I would gladly have loaned it to you. Sorry.
Digging through the back of said closet an hour ago, I spied my old Leafs jersey, and cannot believe that I used to wear it over shoulder pads. Nowadays, it would reveal my ample midriff, making me look even worse than any other man wearing the blue-and-white. I recall the time a girlfriend asked me if she could have it, since it didn’t fit me anymore. I refused. But it did look good on her.
You’d have been swimming in my Elliott jersey, but I have no doubt that you could have pulled it off.
by Spezzal Teams Playa on Feb 7, 2012 7:37 PM EST up reply actions
The All Star jersey I bought is an XL
It would not have been the first dress-sized jersey I’ve worn. Next time the ASG is in town and Elliott’s on the roster, hook a sister up!
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Lines!!!
Why is Foligno constantly being moved to the 3rd line!?!?!
Game in and game out, even when he’s not scoring he’s making plays..
He has his off nights when he dissappears but other than Alfie and Turris,, what Sen hasnt pulled the occasional David Copperfield act??
Greening/Condra are young, could be potential top 6 guys down the road,,but arent as good as Foligno
I could see Foligno and Spezza having a difficult time sharing first line minutes,,, but if youre going to shake things up,,,why not try Foligno on the top line???
Sure, both Spezz an Foligno want to carry the mail and dish the puck,, but I for one have seen every combination but Foligno Spezza Michalek
And I’m sure there is a reason for that LOL- however,,, on this team, he’s top 6- and it sucks he’s a better Center than Wing,, because we dont need a Center
yay - no talk about Toronto fans!!
So, is there any reason to believe we’ll stop looking so disorganized tonight? A reason for hope? The worst has been the fact that at the beginning of this slide we looked like we were in games for sure and just being snake-bitten. The last couple though have been ugly.
Do folks think this is just the law of averages coming home to roost with having found a way to win a lot of close games? Or did we have more than many thought + a great coach who will be able to right the ship?
I don’t know the answer and I want to set my expectations so these losses don’t bother me as much.

I am no hockey egghead
But, Foligno on the first line once in a while sounds good to me. Give him some time to shine, showcase him. Whatever. This is a rebuild. Lets take him for a test drive. If it works, we will have a better idea of what he is capable of. Maybe someone will see him looking hot and cool and will make a crazy offer to snag him.
Same things with Mr. Z. Smith. Give him some time on the second line. Might sound crazy to some here, but, when he shines he shines.
I think if we continue to slide, – I am not suggesting that we should throw in the towell, nor should we clutch at straws – But we might as well try to shake things up internally, and get a solid performance preview in advance of next years training camp.
This may be a market correction, or a wake up call for us with regards to the talent we have at hand, but I fear we have gotten lazy…
I agree.
Condra and Greening haven’t been good enough to deserve a carte blanche pass to lines 1 and 2 for the rest of the season. Give some other guys a chance to produce.
Condra absolutely deserves to be on the 2nd line. He plays tough almost every night, and really seems to do well with Alfie and Turris. Greening has been played on the 3rd line quite a bit as well, so I wouldn’t say he has a carte blanche to the 1st line.
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
I was hoping out boys would see this through together
But now I am concerned. If we had lost every game to this point – I wouldnt be that dissapointed – but having done so well and overachieved so consistantly. Now I am concerned, and I love all our boys so,
But there will be changes going forward.
Zack Smith has done nothing to warrant a place on 2nd line
He has one goal in about 15 games or something. And that was a fluke goal.
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.

Goals or not, ZSmith isn't really a second line player.
I want my second line to give a fuck, so Smith is ruled out pretty quickly.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
BULLSHIT
That was a great goal.
But he doesn’t deserve a spot on the 2nd line. There’s no way.

Word choice, amigo
A fluke is when Big Game Chris is involved in any way. A snipe over the glove is not a fluke.

Nope
It is not really a fluke when Big Game Chris is involved in an own goal. That’s just kind of expected and sad.

Well, yeah, but technically that's still a flukey goal, right
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
It'd be flukey if it didn't happen so often
But it tends to happen about once every three seasons, which is a bit too regular to call it a fluke IMO

Question
I finally got my heritage jersey in the mail yesterday and was wondering what everyone thought about the all star game patch. I have a patch and initially wasn’t going to have it sown to my jersey, but have grown to really like it. What have you guys done? Does anyone have a jersey with the patch?
I have a football jersey with a Super Bowl patch. Not quite the same, but I like it
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
Exactly what I said.
Mine had some sort of heat-activated glue on the back, and I ironed it onto the jersey. Since there’s no stitching, there’s no worry about it ripping off
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
Mine's a Brees jersey
It has the LA state patch, the Captain patch and the SB44 patch on it.
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
I think you save the patch
If the heritage jersey is a one-year deal, you put the patch on. Otherwise, just hang on to it.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
I'm not paying more for the All Star patch.
Then again, I bought an All Star jersey, so…….
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I put it on
I like it, and I’ll stick with it, and I won’t let it prevent me from wearing the jersey indefinitely.

Milan is awesome
But whats going on – time to get the genlte giant worked up.
Milan
Dude is 6"2 weighing in at 225. 50 games played this year14 PIM. – “Beanpole Turris” has more penalties in half as many games. Milan outweighs the guy by 40 lbs. and plays more minutes.
You couldn’t slap the smile off his face with an oar.
Read about his name being bandied about as potential trade bait somewhere.
He needs to pick it up again..
Is he actually 6'2"?
He always seems shorter to me. I know he’s hefty enough, but looking at him on the ice he looks to me like he’s about 5’10".
Oh Captain, my Captain!
If he shows me a solid Gordie Howe hat trick tonight
He would be so vindicated…
Don't risk his hands
He has too much skill with his hands for me to wish for a Gordie Howe out of him.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
If he gets a goal and assist
I still think, you woud get your face slapped with a glove, to complete the hat trick…

I was so worried about Anderson
But, at this point – barring a trade to bring someone else in – I could see him playing every game until the end of the season. What other team could drive their goaltender like this? Is he good, is he not good?
They must have confidence in him. Lets give the team some credit . Does suck to be Auld – but from what I understand, he is the Ringo of the group. “I’m just happy to be here”…
I think this year will see a run on goaltending at the draft.

I've been shoved and kicked as an opposition fan (in Detroit)
And at Scotiabank Place I’ve been pushed and shoved and hit by Habs and Leafs fans. Mostly that was leaving/home on the bus, but once a dude pushed me from behind while I was celebrating an Alfie goal.
I've never seen or heard of anything like that.
On the bus I can see, but I’d think you’re more likely to be shushed by the ushers than actually touched by an opposing team fan. In Detroit, though, you’re kind of taking your life into your own hands…

Detroit is usually great
But my last experience was a bad one. I realize that those experiences are not the experiences of most fans during rivalry games, but since I’ve had a few, it makes them less enjoyable.

Abused and assaulted is a bit much
I’ve been to my fair share, and anyone who’s been to a game with me can tell you that I am not timid about my feelings during the game. But there’s only so long you can put up with it, and really it’s getting worse instead of getting better.

My first was Alfie, and no matter what, I could always go back to that. I now have two Alfies, a Spezza, and a Karlsson. And love them all!!!
And I will with my All Star jersey which will soon have a Michalek added to the back
But I particularly want my heritage to be a long-term, current jersey. My Alfie one will be an antique at some point (BUT NOT ANYTIME SOON KNOCK ON WOOD), and then the heritage will be my go-to. Can’t have my go-to feature someone who got traded after two seasons here.

In truth, an Alfie jersey is never going to be a bad choice. You don’t have to get another.

But I don’t really want to do that since he’s spurning my facebook friend requests.

We need more players
Who can cross the blue line, shoot the puck, not hit the goaltender, not hit the post or someone in front, not put it left or right of the net, over the glass – someone to make the red light go on, and cheer everyone up. Is that too much to ask?
Players that could put the puck between the goal posts, below the crossbar and beyond the red line, that would be ideal.
I was thinking Sam Gagner, he puts up lots of points. If I extrapolate his last 4 games over the rest of our season he’ll put up 85 points for us in our remaining 26 games.
Actually if I extrapolate just his last 3 games he’d put up 104 points in 26 games. So I think that would be good.

Did Spezza switch to white tape or has he always used that? A goalie friend of mine says it’s much easier to see the puck on a white taped stick (obviously). Should he, Gonchar and Kuba be made to switch?
Any goalies out there think it does/doesn’t matter?

One season is not going to turn us into the Islanders. I think you’re being way too pessimistic. It’s a rebuild and no one expected us to do as well as we have so far.

I saw a great attempt that didn’t pan out, but no great chance that wasn’t taken
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Semantics?
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.

So Adnan were you serious about a group outing to the Sabres game in March?
And is anyone else interested?
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Definitely have *some* game
Will let the masses decide between Pittsburgh or Buffalo.

Well you need to decide soon!
If it’s Buffalo, I’ll coordinate. Not going if it’s Pittsburgh, though.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I guess if I don’t have to do anything, Buffalo it is.

Well you have to remind people in the nuggets
And figure out if anyone else is interested so far. Anyone? I know there’s Ottawans on here for the game.
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Will do it tomorrow around 5.

Gonna say it
Ottawa has looked good. Energetic, if a bit sloppy. Anderson stops those two early goals, and this game is a win. Bad time for Andy to fall apart, but starting him 7.000 games in a row was never a good idea.
Auld has looked good. Hopefully Maclean notices.

A ‘Maclean should’ve started Auld’ comment prediction?

He had a week off at the all-star game and two days off before this.
He’s had his rest. Not an excuse

Winnipeg scores.
Consolation. Jets leading Leafs 2-1
If Charlie Sheen played for the Leafs, the Leafs would be #winning. If LeBron James played for the Cavs, oh wait, he already did that.
I cannot support this. Fuck all the Southeast teams.

Paulrus doesn't want a Jack Adams, that's why
He has no shelf with room to display it, so why bother?

Understatement
If it’s not our forwards fucking its Andy If its not Andy our forwards find a way to screw themselves over. This is getting FUCKING RIDICULOUS
I missed up
………….. That’s incredibly embarrasing and yet hystrical at the same time
Otherwise, it's really no surprise that we lost
I mean, clearly their minds were ……. elsewhere
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I thougt our forwards played good today though!
Played good at hockey I mean… But the 2 out og the 3 goals were really weak
*Hysterical
This loss is really getting to my head….
If we can find our form
I am certain other teams will self destruct in such a way, that we will have a playoff spot. But we will have to play hard now, or some other team, could snag it in our stead….
I think I need a break from hockey
Maybe get a job at Safeway… Yeah that sounds good.

I dated a Mormon girl who worked with my cousin at a Safeway in Edmonton, one summer.
Girl refused to drink, smoke, or even drink coffee. Sex? No problem.
In summary, Mormons are weird.
