Bingo Sens Talk

Huge victory. Good to see Weircioch producing (somewhat)....callup is in order perhaps so they can give Borowiecki a chance down there.

Barring a total collapse (6 games remaining and the other team chasing needs 4 more wins than them), Bingo will make its 1st playoff appearance since the lockout team with Spezza Inc.
The last few days have been phenomenal, with 3 wins in 3 days, outscoring the opposition 12-3.

Well-deserved. Given how many of their players we've got in our lineup (Butler, Greening, Condra, Wiercioch, Hale, Smith, Lessard). You could even argue Lee could have been playing in Bingo this year if Phillips and Gonchar didn't suck and Kuba (and, now, Carkner) didn't get injured long-term.

2 of those games with Lehner in net.. letting in 1 goal in those 2 games.
How did the fans respond to him? Did the booing stop?

Standing ovation on Friday (the 32 save shutout), not sure about Saturday, but the guy was amazing in Bingo's huge time of need with Brust being banged up. Nice weekend all around for Bingo + the Sens I guess. Things are taking shape in both places, but it looks real good on Bingo. It's about time - and also, remember that Bobby B, Greening, Z.Smith, Condra, Wiercioch, Hale are all joining the B-Sens should they make the playoffs. Lots of reasons to be excited right now.

That coach will end up in the NHL in the next 3 years, Book it.

Glad to see the fans aren't so pig headed with their love of Brust and can appreciate a good game by Lehner. Here's hoping he keeps up playing great and wins over more and more fans. Maybe Lehner can even make them forget about Brust next season?

For us, I hope. I love KK, he's a great coach.

Joy was saying it was a combination of him having two excellent games + being more humble than he was before.

in the last 3 games since Roman wick was sent back down he has accumulated 6 points he seems to be playing a lot better in general in the latter half of the season

As per Joy L:

"Robin Lehner was BSens nominee for AHL Player of the Week. He was 2-0-0 with 0.50 GAA and .984 save percentage over the weekend."

Also as per Joy L:

"Cody Bass is the BSens Man of the Year and a nominee for the AHL award."

Very pleased to hear that. That's a guy who's starting to get what it takes - and very quickly. Good for him!

Awesome. Good to see he's backing up his hyper-confident sound bites.

I really can't see how Bingo can miss, now. The Bruins (the #4 team in the other east division) is 15 points behind and barely playing .500 (5-4-0-1 in their last 10, compared to Bingo's 7-3-0-0). In fact, the B-Sens are just 1 point back of Norfolk for 4th in their own division (although Norfolk has 2 games in hand). A couple of losses by the Admirals and they could find themselves being the cross-over team. You don't really want to cross over and play the Penguins -- 52-20-0-1. Yikes!

Lehner shut them out friday though

Looks like they'll probably make it in, but yes, they need to avoid the Pens like the plague.

AHL all-stars announced today. Two bingo Sens were named all stars.

Corey Locke - first team
Andre Benoit - second team

Congrats!!
