GAME DAY: Montreal Canadiens vs. Ottawa Senators -- Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 -- 7pm ET (CBC)

Just because everyone else was too busy / lazy to do so.

My (30-second) GDT:

MON visits OTT
7pm
CBC

Senators' notes:
--Spezza out with a sore vagina
--Smith called up, should play on a line with Winchester and Shannon
--Lee sits out (I presume)

Starting goalies: Price vs. Elliott

I leave the rest to the guys with more time on their hands.

Now... let's start a streak!

Wonder if Smith could be playing for Winchester, perhaps he's feeling not to good after that (clean) Kaleta hit.

CC gave Lee about 90 seconds of ice time last night. I think he prefers 50% of Winchester to 100% of Lee. We'll see soon enough, tho'.

Yeah, I had so much time on my hands that I just got home now. Or was I being lazy? Meh, whatever.

I was actually offered tickets but had to turn them down You know what that means, of course -- 6 goals; maybe a Kovalev moonwalk.

Listening to Denis Potvin reminded me of Dean Martin -- has he always slurred his speech? He was lamenting how the NHL is not getting a big TV contract anytime soon. The reason? Well you never know if the game is going to be 2-1/2 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes or what. I guess the networks *really* hate baseball.

I thought you were joking, but, wow -- 1:28 total ice time. McGrattan got more than that, didn't he? Maybe you *don't* need a 20-man roster after all.

The only positive out of a Spezza injury is that Regin gets 17+ minutes. Go Sens and keep an eye on Regin, he looks primed to explode IMO.

Or maybe you were busy. Which was, FYI, the first option listed above.

Rooney with the GDT! Sweet. Let's hope the Sens can continue their improvement and build on the Buffalo game. Spezza a game-time decision, but I doubt we'll see him play. Habs are coming off being shut out by the Devils... let's kick 'em while they're down.

Sounds like the Habs fans outnumber the Sens fans at SBP tonight... eek.

Lehner or Elliot starting?

Speaking of the Devils, Kovalchuk is a healthy scratch.

What, they're going to play with 14 skaters?

Friggin' Kostitsyn.

We have no shots on net yet! WTF?!?!?!?!?
