Open Thread: Split Squad GDT - Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators

An open thread to discuss a pair of games between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

This evening, the Sens and Leafs square off in Toronto and in Ottawa in a split squad that will hopefully go better than when the Senators try this with the Islanders.
