The Senators finally give some fans all that they want. That is to beat the Maple Leafs in a tough road game in Kanata. As always, Mike Hoffman is great and Erik Karlsson is also great.

Saturday night against a bottom-five Leafs squad? You just know the Senators are going to lose. (as a Sens fan in Toronto, I’ve been scarred from these games too many times)

The Sens will deserve this one but goalie play will be the difference: the Leafs get a great performance from theirs, and the Sens do not

Like what Ary said, I've seen this movie too many times. The Leafs are a team with a dearth of talent, but somehow Ottawa will find a way to lose this one.
