GAME DAY: St. Louis Blues @ Ottawa Senators - 7:00pm ET - Thu. Jan. 21st, 2010

Amazing, I come back from a 10 day cruise and find the sens on a 4 game win streak. Good on brodeur, Elliott and the boys for coming together for the sake of leclaire in this difficult time.

Sens win, Rangers lose, Boston loses, Buffalo loses, Leafs lose.

Yeah.

Close. I think at this point we want the Leafs to surge a bit so as not to give the Bruins such a nice pick in the upcoming draft.

I'm going to go barf now.

Meh... I just want the Leafs to lose every game. Forever.

“I was giggling a little bit. That’d have been nice if they’d just let us go there, but that wasn’t going to happen. Of course he’s going to act tough there, but he’s a good goalie and he played well, don’t get me wrong, but you know, you’re not going to fight me, let’s be honest.”

- St. Louis enforcer Cam Janssen on Carey Price after their run-in during the Blues' 4-3 overtime win Wednesday night.

I find playing against Taylor Hall 6 times a year for the next decade+ very disturbing.

Or buy a few 100 or 1000 sens game tickets.

Sens lines at practice:

Foligno-Fisher-Alfredsson
Shannon-Regin-Kovalev
Ruutu-Kelly-Neil
Michalek-Smith-Cheechoo

Michalek on the 4th line

It's just to start the game. I'm sure he'll get quality PP and PK time as well as slowly move up the line up or get double shifted.

Watching him at the world juniors, can't say I was overly impressed with him. Didn't dominate like he was supposed to. As a matter of fact, he didn't dominate, period. Just looked kind of ordinary, sucks to say.

For some reason I feel like he'll get passed up by a couple of teams in favor of a couple of other guys.

It's to keep that sick third line together. I'm almost positive of it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Foligno or Shannon on the fourth line by the second period.

My money is on Foligno getting bounced down to the 4th line. He's been solid up on the top line but nothing special IMO. Shannon and Regin look like they're really building chemistry.

Yeah, by the third we should see this if Michalek is flying...

I have to disagree there. I think he has can score a goal any shift because his determination and drive are ahead of everybody else.

It looks like he didn't dominate but he played with Kadri who was less than impressive as a centerman, was not exactly Hodgson-like.

Coaching was also mediocre.

I also wouldn't read too much into his WJ play. How dominant was Crosby in his first tournament? How dominant was Tavares and Stamkos in their first tournaments?

That was Hall's first and last WJC. And think of all the players that never played in the WJC at that age group (Duchene).

Go Sens Go.

The drive for five is back! This time for wins though.
