I have no idea why you would "expect" the winning streak to end. Yeah, this will be their toughest test yet on their current winning streak, but what have they shown that indicates the streak will end? They didn't play great last night against one of the best teams in the East, and they still pulled it out. After two days rest/practice, they should come out way stronger than they did against the Habs. Obviously the winning streak has to end eventually, but really it should've ended against the Habs. We'll be a better team on Thursday.

He didn't get lit up last night, why would he get lit up against Boston ?

They are the best team in the East and very complete lines 1 through 4 and D man 1 through 6. Rask is also an all-star goaltender.

Sens could win though, at this point it's stupid and ignorant to believe otherwise.

Is he, really? I'm still not convinced. Plus what if Silfverberg ever got going? I'm wondering if Turris is holding him back, now. Silfverberg has beaten Brodeur, Lundqist and Price in his only three shootout attempts. That's quite the All-Star lineup, there. If Bishop can get is to the shootout, lookout.

Lucic would try given the chance.

He's tried to run Karlsson before, he's Boston's version of Cooke just not as cowardly. They also have Marchand who is the coward.

Silfverberg still can't get his shot off during a game. Not as easy with shot blocking and teams collapsing around their net.

Well he's done that against Price

He had a breakaway during the game?
