GAME DAY:New York Islanders 1 @ Ottawa Senators 4 - 7:30pm ET - THUR. Nov. 4, 2010

Spezza was all over the ice tonight. THe pass to Gonchar on the first goal was just disgusting.
I still find it quite amazing the difference you see in players when you watch them live.
I don't really mind the poor 3rds for now. I mean, for like the last 4 wins they played a poor 3rd but still won the games, and to be honest, I rarely, if ever, see a team play a full 60 minutes in today's NHL. That's why you need timely goaltending.

For the most part we're beating the teams we're supposed to, sso that's good. I'll never forget the Hartsburg days of losing 3/4 games against the Islanders

Karlsson has the most goals by a D-man since last March. That was a surprising stat to hear.

Not if you count Byfuglien

but you can't count him.

it's scary how good he'll be.

Very happy with the win, not so happy with the effort or the final score.

It's like they were going for the kill in the 1st and coasting in the 2nd and protecting the lead in the 3rd. Not good.

4-1? What's wrong with that? We gave up one PP goal to a top-10 PP in the league. We held that same top-10 PP to 3 shots in a 5-minute Major.

Let's enjoy this one for a while.

SSF's upset about the score because I promised him my tickets so he could get the free pizza slices.

Ag, gotcha.

SSF, here's what you do. Get a cardboard box -- shoebox will do -- and cut out the bottom. Cut it across, diagonally, to make two triangles. Use red crayons for the sauce, and burgundy-ish ones for the pepperoni. You don't really need any yellow/brownish ones for the cheese because, let's face it, this is Pizza-Pizza slices, and the real ones have no cheese anyway, so why bother? If you want a little more flavor, sprinkle a little salt on top.

Voila! Two slices, just like if you had two ticket stubs.

I'll just wait for Fraudeur to serve me up some Delissio when he comes to town with his Dung team!

I agree. This sit back and defend mentality is going to cost us sooner than later. We're not a team built to protect leads, we're a team built to cushion our lead.

I liked Campoli going after Martin after that boarding on Spezza (should've been 5 but I was impressed McCreary tucked in his Leafs' underoos and gave us 2).

Smith going after him was nice as well. This wouldn't have happened in the Martin era.

I didn't think they were AS bad in the 3rd as against Toronto (shots were 10-6) so maybe there is hope.

Overall a good win, taking advantage of an easier, tired opponent.

Next up, the Habs.

Who's up for a GDT? I'm off to an early pee-wee game in Stittsville, and when I get back I'm probably driving the girls to a birthday party. I can do it some time after lunch, but if someone can do it before then, go right ahead.

to anyone doing the GDT i'd like to pre-add my "GO SENS GO! " to the thread as i have to go out for the whole day and will meet (habs fan)friends at a bar to watch the game. so yeah, GO SENS GO!!!!!!!!!
