P.S. Great game by Ells. Spezza was good too (he had his giveaways, but he was more valuable than he was a commodity....u guys know its true)

Fudge yeah! 8 straight baby! New record on Saturday coming up!

This team is for real ladies and gentlemen. Eight game winning streaks aren't flukes...especially when you've only given up 8 goals in that same time frame and not a single one is on the power play.

Just sick what these guys are doing right now.

You're so right. and the worst part is that it HAS to end at some point, but i don't want it too...

it is SO hard NOT to get all jazzed and f*$kin' stoked and in awe of what they've done under Clouston's tutelage... just incredible!!

I know it's going to end, but I just don't see the winning going away. They're going to lose one here and there at some point (hopefully not soon) but the execution of their game plan is sickening to watch.

The system they have set up is relentless and when they have this much talent and skill and hard work in the lineup it's impossible to derail them.

I honestly though Malkin scoring in like the first 2 minutes of the game was the precursor to a blowout and the end of our streak.

I don't know what's happening with this team right now, but everyone is clearly on board. We're relatively healthy for the first time all year and we're getting production from all over the lineup. Hell, Phillips almost had himself another goal tonight.

I don't see these guys losing, I mean, they'll lose, but they'll bounce back because for the first time since Murray - and some could argue, not even then, this team is playing a beautifully tight system. Aggressive forechecks, men back to support, feet moving, neutral zone plugged. Incredible, the guys are working to win board battles, and when they lose, another player come in.

Diddle man...this is a treat to watch.

Hopefully it comes on Thursday against Vancouver. And in the shootout at that.

Great game tonight. Was Elliott first star? I see NHL has Spezza #1 and Elliott #2. What were the TSN picks?

What? Spezza was the 1st star? That's incredible. Elliott and Karlsson would be 2 of my three. Not sure who the other would be. Phillips, Volchenkov, Fisher, Alfie, Michalek?

I really want Gudbranson. Although trading up is fine.

Don't we really need an elite forward though?

Diddle man...this is a treat to watch.

It reminds me of the team that marched through the 2nd half of the season and 3 rounds of playoff hockey in 07. Everyone contributing and working hard for each other. I'll dare say that this group has more chemistry than any Sens team ever.

Absolutely! We don't really need another right handed shot dman, with Karlsson and Cowen here. That being said, I still really want Gudbranson.

Look at Nashville. They've made drafting quality d-men a priority and they've got so much depth it's embarassing. It's certainly not a bad thing, but I'd still love to add a kid like Seguin, in case he-who-shall-not-be-named gets moved.

You know what's a treat to watch? Karlsson. That kid is incredible. He's gonna be putting up Mike Green numbers in a couple of years for us, count on it.

I'm seriously developing a very over the top man-crush on this kid. Every time he gets the puck I feel like he can skate through their entire team and rip one into the back of the net, even though he only has 1 goal this year.
