GAME DAY:Pittsburgh Penguins @ Ottawa Senators - 7:30pm ET - Tue. Mar. 15, 2011

The Ottawa Senators (25-35-9, 59 pts) host the Pittsburgh Penguins (40-22-8, 88 pts) Tuesday night. Ottawa is coming off a barn burner loss that was good in a couple ways. It put a dagger of reality into the Leaf fans while also helping tank nation. It certainly wasn't a night of stellar goaltending for the Sens with Anderson allowing 4 goals in 17 shots followed by another 2 allowed by Curtis M.

The Penguins, despite a rash of injuries, continue to be a strong team and should make for an exciting match-up. I will be staying home and watching from the comfort of my couch for this one as I am treating my parents with my tickets for this game.

Wonder if people even care enough to boo Kovalev?

I'm sure some people will boo Kovalev but I doubt it lasts the whole game and I doubt it's with any real enthusiasm.

YOu have to notice him on the ice to boo him.

Touche.

So is it or (First C silent)

In net tonight?

Anderson for sure. Again, spot start sfor McE, he might get 2 the rest of the way.

O'Brien and Benoit called up... maybe O'Brien can actually do something of note this time around. Benoit is just getting his look as they probably want to resign him going into next year to play in Bingo.

expected to start according to Scott McArthur via Team1200. No official announcement as of yet.

Unless Leclaire "rubs off" (BWAAHAHAHAHA) on , 'll be in nets.

Emoticon with a contraction. Nicely done.

'Tis a must lose!!

Colorado is playing Vancouver tonight. We really really have to lose this game.

Kovalev might decide it's time for a 4-goal night.

Colorado is going to get shelled by Vancouver, especially if Elliott starts.

Benoit is great, but I'm surprised Wiercioch didn't get a look. Whatever, next time I'm sure. Hopefully O'Brien gets some ice time and uses it properly.
