Guess who's reffing the game?

At a great risk I'd say a ref from Quebec. There, I nicely avoided having the Bloc call me a racist.

You know what's baffling? The fact that Alf has never been considered for the MVP.

No one can argue his importance to this team. He comes back and this team starts winning again. It's not a coincidence.

Everyone's favorite ref right now...

massive, massive win tonight!

No Michalek? No Spezza? No top goalie? No Diddling problem!!!

Here's a word we never heard in the past 4 years: secondary scoring. Great game for Ells and Regin. Zach Smith needs to stay up!

karlsson is going to be amazing. can't believe the skills on that guy. and regin!, man i hope fisher likes playing wing because when spezza comes back that's where he should be, next to regin.

Well, they blanked the Rangers to start this winning streak, and they won the first two games after he got injured.

top two lines are looking good like this.
michalek- spezza-alfie
fisher-regin-kovalev

looks really good on paper. now if we could just get a number D-man(till karlsson is ready)

I keep saying it, hoping that it happens. But Souray is exactly the tonic that this team needs. They just need to figure out how to make it happen.

Nice Win Boys!

Regin

I'm starting to wonder how good Karlsson's gonna be when he gains 15 pounds an a couple of years experience in the NHL. If he keeps absorbing the info and improving, we're in for a big treat. Try not to get ahead of myself obviously, but it's nice to see him improving at the rate that was expected.

Totally, it's a treat. Hopefully he keeps it up. Regin was amazing, that pass is highlight stuff, the goal was amazing. I've seen a player emerging, I hope he shows consistency.

How about Neil dominating that game though? The Hawks were scared Dung less when he was forechecking. Game of the year for him - great to see.

All of the guys are putting their Dung together. Imagine if we can get Spezza and Michalek back in early season form? This team is going to tear this Wing Dang Doodle up.

Holy ****, we actually won.

That central park dodgeball game has to go down as the greatest morale booster in Sens' history.

Perhaps like when the Anaheim Ducks came in here and played scrimmage on the Canal?

No Diddling kidding.

I commented on it earlier because it's so easy to just overlook it...but Ryan Shannon with 18 seconds left in the game dives across the block a cross ice pass and deflects it out of the defensive zone.

Why? They were up 4-1 at that point.

Why? Because these guys are a team. And it's like they're finally getting it. It's starting to click for them.

We haven't just won four in a row. We've crushed those teams defensively. We've allowed four goals in those games. FOUR!

Incredible. Let that sink in for a while.
