GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins - 1:00pm ET - Mon. Jan. 18th, 2010
"Brodeur the saviour and the return of The Alfie... onwards and upwards..."
The Ottawa Senators (24-21-4, 52 points, 3rd in the Northeast) continue their road trip and pay a visit to their nemesis the Boston Bruins (23-16-8, 54 points, 2nd in the Northeast) on Monday afternoon at TD Banknorth Gardens in Boston, Massachusetts. The Sens have cranked out 2 wins in a row on the back of Mike Brodeur's performance in net and the return of Alfredsson to the line-up on Saturday night. Habs-killah Alfie was instrumental in the game notching a goal and two assists. Zach Smith opened the scoring with his first NHL goal, a shortie at that. It was a great performance by the Sens all around. Kuba was scheduled to be in the lineup but was a last minute scratch. The Bruins are sporting some injuries of their own and are coming off a SO loss to the Kings on Saturday. Naturally, the biggest factor for the B's is in net with Tim Thomas, who seems to have our number. It's time to put an end to that domination and ring in a new era with Mike Brodeur, who has clearly earned a 3rd straight start for the Sens. GO SENS GO!!!"Brodeur the saviour and the return of The Alfie... onwards and upwards..."
