GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Montreal Canadiens - 7:00pm ET - Sat. Oct. 17th, 2009

This has the makings of a great game.  Habs are gonna be hungry and the sens are confident.  I think it comes down to Price.  If he's solid, it'll be a tight game.  I say 4-3 sens.

I know it's rarely good to mess with such a thoroughly winning formula, but if Regin's playing on the fourth line I'll be irked.

I'd go:
Foligno - Regin - Shannon
Ruutu/Donovan/Neil - Kelly - Ruutu/Donovan/Neil

If Shannon doesn't play well, that change will be made in game.

That sound much better.

Regin is being wasted on the 4th line.

I updated the "Media Links" section of the GDT with links to audio files from Cory's post practice presser today, as well as Pascal Leclaire talking to the media (in French). I also added a link to the PDF file for the Game Notes tonight.

F5? Huh, didn't know that one. Of course back in my day the keyboards only had two function keys to turn the PC on and off -- F-On and F-Off.

Hey, the avatars are back at least in the panel to the tight. Let's try some:

- always appropriate for Habs games

just because I'm a Bond fan

- always appropriate

By the way, the last time the Sens played the Habs Kovalev was booed. That was in Ottawa. I predicted that would not be the case in Montreal. We'll see if I was right. That would be weird, but these are Habs fans, so nothing would surprise me.

Oh, was this clip posted?

TSN's power rankings have Ottawa in 20th (a move up from 24th the week before). I take it this is before the Tampa game.

A-Train is averaging 3 blocked shots per game, the same as the league leader Jay McKee (Volchie has played in 1 fewer game). However he has matches his blocked shots with his hits -- 18, to be precise, while McKee is far behind with 7 (1 per game average -- Boo!) And A-Train's hits have been devastating.
