Die commies Die!

7-0 Sens, Heatley with 5 (goals).

Changed your tune a bit Heater? It was 7 - 1 in another thread I stand by my prediction of 2 - 1 Ottawa. Three stars of Spezza, Elliott, Johnson.

I figured I might as well go for the gold. 7-0 just looks better. :D

I like either prediction. It means we get Pizza LOL.

They should change it from Pizza to something else. Timmies coffee would be better. (mind you, they probably don't need the advertising as much)

Matching or surpassing the goal out-put in one game of every Senator except Spezza, Alfredsson, Kelly and Foligno.

That makes me want to vomit a little to be honest. Wait...Heatley? And do Kelly and Foligno have 7 goals?

EDIT: I see what you mean, Heatley's 5 goals would surpass everyone except those guys.

Man that's disgusting.

Remember when we were first in the league in goals scored? When was that? Last season, you say? It seems so long ago.

Not even. It was more like we stock-piled all these goals until right after the All-Star Break and then we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Very strange. A stud D-man would do wonders - and I'm really not into rushing Karlsson.

I think Lee can help fill the void. If I'm not mistaken, he lead the team in ice-time last game and is looking great alongside Phillips.

He doesn't possess the creativity or offensive intelligence of Karlsson, but he's a great skater, good puck-handler and good passer.

I think 2009-2010 should see him get more responsibility.

Now Forsberg is looking at a comeback. I don't think he's healthy enough, he should probably just think of hanging them up, or he'll end up hurting himself more.

Washington is 1-0-1 against the Senators this year, having dropped an overtime decision in Ottawa on November 4 before recording an easy 5-1 home decision on December 12. The Caps have won five of six and eight of the last 11 meetings overall in the series, but Washington has dropped three of five and six of its last nine in Ottawa.

How have they dropped six of their last nine against us? They won all 4 last year...

Wait just a minute. When did we trade Corvo?
