Pre-Season: Gm's #4 & 5- OTT vs. MTL

No Alfredsson tonight.

Tomorrow's game can be seen on TSN2.

This should be a serious game. Montreal is seen as the top contender in the east, so Ottawa cannot take this lightly. They need to play this as it was a playoff game.

This is one of the few remaining chances for those players to make their final impressions and earn a spot.

Who will grab the final 6th defensive spot? What will become of those odd men out? Will Neil ride the momentum?

Get it on.

(Note: I will miss tonight's game due to the Brampton-Peterborough game).

THese are the lines for tonight:
Winchester-Spezza-Heatley
Kelly-Vermette-Foligno (Alfie won't make the trip)
Ruutu-Bass-Neil
Smith-McCammond-Regin

Here are the lines for Montreal:
Andrei Kostitsyn – Tomas Plekanec – Alex Kovalev
Max Pacioretty – Ben Maxwell – Sergei Kostitsyn
Gregory Stewart – David Desharnais – Matt d’Agostini
Steve Bégin – Maxim Lapierre – Tom Kostopoulos

Andrei Markov – Ryan O’Byrne
Josh Gorges – P.K. Subban
Alex Henry – Yannick Weber

Jaroslav Halak and Marc Denis are the goaltenders.

With the exception of Alfredsson, I like those lines. No Fisher though Where does Mike fit in on this team anyways?

Does anyone know what the hell TSN2 is? Do we have to pay for it?

Mike Fisher's groin must be more serious than we originally thought. These are huge tune ups for the Sens, he'd be out there if he was good to go. Boo.

Tonight's game does not seem to be on TV anywhere. What the? Is RDS carrying it?

No, I can't understand why. And Saturday's game on TSN isn't available to Roger's subscribers. Dammit, I'll have to go out to watch it - and that costs $$ that I spent on franking Center Ice.

I think Fisher is fine, they are holding him out for precautionary reasons and to get a look at Smith and Regin some more.

I'm pissed if this doesn't end up being on tv. And the f'ing TSN2 is me off

Yeah, Saturday's game is being covered by TSN2 which Rogers has not added yet.

That BLOWZ.

TSN2 should be available to all... I've got it in my subscription with Bell TV, didn't pay for it, but you probably have to have the Sports Pkg with TSN(1).

I think it is 848 (HD) on Bell.

Of course it's on CI.

With the news that McAmmond could be waived later tonight or tomorrow, and Fisher injured, perhaps we could see Regin fill in? Bass for sure.

EDIT: Ah, Rogers.... yeah can't help you there.

Might have to take a drive to MOntreal after work today and get some tickets.

Good lord I hope we win this game.

I was just checking out Kev Lee's blog in Hockeybuzz- had a good laugh when one of the Habs said that it was going to be tough for them because we're playing 3/4 of our roster. I love how Habs fans boast about everything, then try and downplay or hedge what could possibly a loss. Anybody else a little irked about Eklund's rankings too?

Where does he get off saying Khabibulin would send us to a legitimate contender. Did he watch last year's playoffs? I truly think Gerber is going to be the real deal this year. Call me optimistic, but I think he can do it.

Eklund has pretty much lost all of my respect. He's such a joke now.

Hmmm.... well it's not showing up (yet) in my EPG, but I am missing a few CI channels, so I'm not sure. You'd have to think someone is broadcasting it. Surprised RDI isn't, seeing as how they show every Canadiens game, or so I thought.

If I'm with Rogers and I have CI, will I be able to see the game if it's on TSN2?? We don't get TSN2 with Rogers...
