GAME DAY: Buffalo Sabres @ Ottawa Senators - 7:30pm ET - Tue. Feb. 12th, 2013

It was amazing. The Buffalo D-man couldn't decide how he wanted to get beaten on that 2 on 1. He opted to let Karlsson have a clear view. Crazy stuff.

I think there was 3 posts tonight as well. All in all, not a bad offensive output.

Miller made a few real nice stops as well. They play like that tomorrow, they'll be fine. If they can also gain the zone on the PP, they'll be great.

"Karls" Karlsson for the win.

Still can't get over how good Karlsson and Anderson both are.

We go as they go...

I thought Andy was good last year. Our Defense is much better this year, he had to bail us out much more last year and the bad games we had lowered his stats. He might be pushing for a spot on the US Olympic team which is extra motivation, not to mention Lehner in the wings.

How has Lundin been looking? I have not had a chance to really tune into a game and watch him. He was a +1 last night with 14:36 of ice time.

Pushing for that Olympic spot is probably huge in terms of motivation. I don't see how he's not the favorite right now in goal for the Americans. Lets hope he does get that job because if he does that means he's playing insane hockey.

Didn't notice him for a second last night which is exactly what you want. He ate up 14 mins of ice and no one knew, that's what they need from him. Thought Weircioch struggled a bit but looked pretty good again.

I haven't been much of a Lundin fan so far, but I'll give it a few more games. I keep being told that he's a good skater, but I'm not seeing it yet.

I was at the game last night. Ottawa played...decently. We were badly outshot, but that wasn't totally indicative of the play. Still, we're going to need to find a way to start filling the net more regularly.

is the man.

I guess I'll be cheering for Team USA and Team Sweden in Sochi. Mostly Team Sweden. I don't think there is a Canadian player on the Sens that would make it (my vote would be Methot).

Every time that the Sens were running around like chickens with their heads cut off in their own end, I looked around and Lundin was on every single time.

Then I guess the cluster****s were all on his D partner. Don't know where you were looking, but I noticed Lundin a lot.

For the most part I didn't to be honest. I noticed more or less the wingers not being able to chip the puck out as opposed to the D.

A few camera close ups on him made me think he wasn't sure where he was supposed to be half the time. Maybe it's timing and he hasn't gotten his yet.

I think the Olympics are a huge motivation when it comes to player motivation. we're talking about an athlete taking home an Olympic medal for his country. but must be careful not to slump down if he's not chosen. when do they announce the Olympic team? is it next summer or later then that? hopefully later the better as he'll keep pushing hard.
