The Scanner: Among the non-skaters: Turris, MacArthur, Karlsson, Cowen, Smith, Methot.

My boy Z. Smith should keep his head up tonight methinks... I'm sure he'll get challenged to a fight or something.

Lehner goes.

Smith will oblige whoever. The man is quite the fighter.

Match that forecheck when possible. That's Hitch's MO - attack the D. Get on Halak as much as possible, use Karlsson's speed to break the neutral zone.

Smith has been a beast, start to finish all year long. Will finish with over 100 PIMs and more than 15 goals. That's a great season for a guy like that. Perfect 3rd/4th line center.

Lehner is getting thrown into some tough games so hopefully he's ready. Not exactly put in a position to succeed like the vets are given but hopefully he can have a solid outing.

Can I trade in my Spezza jersey for a Z. Smith jersey?

Well, PMac tried the "same goalie on back to back games" before and that blew up. Hopefully Lehner can get into BEAST MODE and give the Sens a chance.

PMac confirms Lehner starts, no other changes.

Lehner better be 100% better than he was against Carolina. As showed last night, our goalies need to be near-perfect for us to even get a point against good teams.

Lehner has to be as good, if not better than Anderson was last night for the Sens to have a chance. If he isn't this could be really ugly.

3-0 Sens. Book it.

Blues don't attack like the Penguins do. They won't fire too many shots

Oh, the Sens can let up 50 against anyone.

This is why I like you, Shabb-a-doo.

Over/under, 39.5 shots for the Blues tonight. To me the easy over. What's the line on bodog?
