Really? I wondered about that when someone said he was off to the hospital last night. Dung, I hope not (obviously).

Where did you hear that ?

Weight had the swine flu, missed three games, came back and assisted on the game winner.

I'd rather dress a turd than call up one of those guys.

True. It's in the Ottawa Sun. I don't expect Leclaire to miss much time.

Totally agree. I wonder if they can dig up that Tie they used in practice when Emery was sent home.

Smid has it now too I believe has been confirmed by the Oilers, so not a real huge deal, they just need time off to deal, so he will get rested while Elliott plays.

They're saving it for when Philly gets desperate and sends us a lucrative deal to acquire it.

Seriously though if we have to call someone up from the minors it better be as a bench warmer because Chiodo and Mike Brodeur have horrible stats so far this season. I would expect a trade if there is a long term injury to either of Elliott or Leclaire this season. *Knock on wood*

That's the right move. I think he sucks too but we'll see how he plays with Phillips I guess. He better play really well if he wants any chance of sticking.

He just sucks so bad. Is that where he'll play you think? With Phillips.

100%

100% wrong.
Fixed.

Sens will need to play their best tonight. Tampa has looked good at home and their PP can click at a moments notice. Hopefully refs stay out of this game and we can just see to skilled teams battle it out. I expect a big game from elliott and another team commitment to defense as the main advantage for the sens

Ya, what the heck happened to Brodeur this year. He pretty much saved Rochesters season last year and now that he is with the BSens he can't stop a beachball.

Good question. I am only going by stats so, who knows. Maybe the Defensive game in Bingo is to blame. I'd have to defer to someone who knows more about Bingo than I do.

Getting back to the bad reffing last night. If not for the 7-1 advantage in power plays, the Sens would probably have been up 5-1 late in the third. Maybe A-Train doesn't try as hard, maybe the Panthers player doesn't, maybe Foligno is not back there as Phillips sees no need to pinch.

Think on that for a while before you dismiss a badly reffed game as "It's over, we won, move on."

No mention of h1n1 anywhere that I can see either Shabbs. Just the typical flu virus.

Besides, it wasn't the first in the young season for Ottawa, in particular. And it obviously won't be the last in the long road ahead.

Couldn't agree more. The snowball affect plays a major role in a game like that. Maybe the only thing I disagree with is the effort made by atrain, I like to think that he makes the play even if the score was 20-1. The guy is a beast
