Elgin Street is closed between Gilmour and Waverley until 6 pm for Sens Mile chili cook-off & hockey tournament.

Nothing says playoff time in the Capital like a chili cook-off.

you say chili?

3:70pm? I'm screwed!

Scenarios:

If OTT wins in regulation/OT/SO, we play MTL.
If OTT loses in OT/SO, we play BOS.
If OTT loses in regulation, we play PIT.

So, yeah, go get us some points, boys! I really don't need to hear the CBC announcers slobbering all over Crosby's Wang & balls for an entire series.

HA HA! 3:70pm. So, is that like 4:10pm?

Just get it to OT. At that point I don't care. Just not the penguins

I think that if Neil and Smith, who SD and I saw in person last night, start playing and stop whining and flopping around on the ice, they won't need to dress Kassian. I'd like to see Smith watch one from the press box.

Yeah...Neil I can deal with as a 4th liner who does stupid things from time to time, but Smith is dying to me personally. I'm getting really, really tired of his act. Get knocked down, stay on the ice waiting for a call, take your time getting up, then take a stupid penalty. He needs to clean up his act for next year or move on. At this point I'd prefer giving another player a shot next year.

Step up Smith, or move along.

Our faceoffs are not playoff material. A playoff series against Boston or Pittsburgh and even MTL is not good. Washington was the team, we missed the boat.

Boston isn't a bad matchup IMO. Either way, we'll need Anderson to be amazing and we'll need to score some damn goals. Montreal is a good matchup if they continue playing like they are.

Our faceoffs are horrendous. Next year I want Turris on the wing for the puck drop with someone who can consistently win faceoffs, then he can switch back to center.

If our faceoffs stay this horrendous we are gonna get swept. Having to go back into our zone on every PP/PK agasint Boston is gonna be the end of us. Mentally and Physically.
Turris should drink whatever Dung is allowed to Pro athletes to get energy.

Yeah, the faceoffs are a real problem. Has been since Spez went down.

I may be in the minority but I'd prefer a Bruins matchup vs a habs matchup. I just don't think our defense can keep up with the habs speed and even with ek65 back, just can't see us matching them offensively. Boston seems more vulnerable and lucic is down on his dumb luck as well.

Just wanted to make sure people were paying attention

Is Sillinger still around?

Depending on how tonight goes, you might either be in the minority or not.

Roy's back in business.

Expect the ice to be pretty bad tonight. Celtics game is still going on, 3 hours before pregame skate

Yeah I'm wathing the Celtics game. It just amazes me that they will prepare everything in 2 hours
