GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ New Jersey Devils - 7:00pm EST - Wed. Nov. 25th, 2009

Perhaps because Picard didn't hold onto his stick with his face? If so it might have been holding the stick.

I agree with you, however there are alot of calls that are getting missed here. Peters hit on Picard was FAR worse than Ovechkin's hit on Kaleta. I don't understand how you can so clearly bodycheck a guy with your hands to his face and not be called on it. It's ridiculous. And the fact that Chico called it clean while watching it in slow motion was just infuriating.

Briere didnt get a penalty on his hit either so it's a league wide problem guys, just seems worse for us because we actually dont draw penalties.

Sens fans are always guilty of thinking they are the ones that are hard done by, def not the case here.

Good on Winchester for being Ottawa's best Center last night.

I wish he would have done more hitting but it was nice to see him follow up his 80 percent faceoff rating from the Washington game with a 70 percent last night.

Oh yeah. And how the Diddle is it acceptable for the refs to step in when Carkner is trying to answer for his teammates against Clarkson and Peters?

Diddling pricks.

I get more pissed off with the comentators then the refs, lets just put it that way. Things go uncalled, I just accept that, but when people have, 4th, 5th, and 6th looks at things, I feel like punching someone in the face.

Good on him. That's what he needs to do to stay in the lineup. Carve out that niche Winnie because as we all know you are THE POOH.

It's called a PVR. Just start recording the game and come back and start watching it about 30 to 40 minutes later. Then you can fast forward all that crap.

Cant, I watch everything live, I just gotta deal.

I think it's futile at this point. Look for him to be on the 4th line again tonight, while the likes of Hands of Stone Kelly and Del Shannon get extra minutes to strut their suck.

Kelly has been fine dude, again, if you wanna talk about a center who might deserve a demotion right now... well... point being is Kelly is playing like a 2 million dollar player should be playing.

So has Choochoo, but no one has any problem crapping on him. As I said earlier, Spezza should be dropped to the second line with Choochoo and Kovalev and Fisher should be elevated to play with Michalek and Alfie. But Winchester should be ahead of Hands of Stone Kelly.

Meh, I dont agree with Winchester being ahead of Kelly. Cheechoo on the other hand has cost The Sens a few times and has hard as he works he really isnt contributing anything at all.

I like Winchester but I think Kelly is playing just as well and has chemistry with a couple guys right now.

Coach Clouston apparently agrees.

Ive just really liked Kelly's game so far this season, not that I dont think Winchester can move up the depth ladder.

Devils defeat Ottawa 3 -1. In an NHL first the Game winning puck is given to the Referees

Refs didnt cost The Sens the game.

Yeah. You'll notice in the standings the Devils only got 1 point. The refs were awarded the other one.
