GAME DAY: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Ottawa Senators - 7:30pm ET - Mon. Apr. 22nd, 2013

Oh, if they clinch tonight Gonchar and Phillips both see maybe 1 game this week, I would guess Methot may come out for a game or two as well. You can bet Lundin and Benoit draw back in if and when they clinch.

In order to clinch tonight, they need a win and a Jets regulation loss.

GO SENS GO!!!

GO SABRES GO!!!

Jets won't win both of the game tonight and tomorrow... I can't wait to watch that Jets/Caps game simply from a hockey fan standpoint. That will be game 7 for the Jets.

Can anyone think of a reason why Kassian should be playing tonight?

Nope. TenderLoin should be back in.

None. Tonight isn't the night that you need to go after Cooke. He's an after thought at this point. If it becomes a blow out either way then do something then.

Cooke would never agree to a fight if challenged anyway. He'd run and hide like he always does.

IF we were to go after Cooke, the person to do that would be Chris Neil and he'd only need to give out the Brian Boyle/Chris Drury concussion special.

I'd just try to shoot the puck in off his ankles. Repeatedly.

Cooke isn't important. It amazes me people would rather take out revenge on a player vs winning a game they need to win. If it was a throw away game, sure, go nuts, swing your stick at his head, who cares but they can't afford to do that.

I don't want any revenge, just win the Cussing game so I can forget that they blew it against the Leafs again.

People make way too big of a deal when the Sens lose to the Leafs, you think they would have just blew a playoff birth, haha. It's one game in the big scheme of things and one they dominated for the most part.

Yeah losing a game to your biggest rival isn't a big deal, especially when their bunghole fans invade your arena all the time. You do live in Ottawa right ?

That game was a flashback to 10 years ago.

As for us dominating them all I can say is LOL.

Nope, it isn't a big deal because it's like 4% of the schedule. They outplayed the Leafs and Anderson had a very rare off night, it happens, oh well.

As for the Fans... Leaf fans jump on the bandwagon when they win and are nowhere to be found when they lose, can't control it and won't be able to for another 10 or so years.

As the morning skate takes place, Karlsson is having a chat with Paul MacLean at centre ice. Karlsson not taking part in drills.

Karlsson not playing tonight (no surprise)

Anderson starting tonight.

If you wanna handle that loss better I'd suggest not to give a crap. Leafs, Bruins or COlumbus, a win is a win, a loss is a loss.
Yeah they invade the building, it is what it is. If everyone stopped caring, so would LEafs fans, and they would be less obnoxious.

Why is Kassian skating on the 4th line?

Nothing wrong with that guy.

We have Latendresse and O'Brien who both better options for a team in a scoring drought than Kassian. LAtendresse has a better goals-per-game average than Michalek for crying out loud.
