GAME DAY: Montreal Canadiens @ Ottawa Senators - 2:00pm ET - Sat. Jan. 30. 2010

Just how good, how quick is Karlsson becoming!? Elliott...wow. I'm stunned we won, I thought our goose was cooked in OT. Incredible victory...so awesome.

Unfortunately, yes, he can. It's a rare gift.

No one tops Rick Jeanerette. It's funny when him and Harry Neale go at it.

Foligno update: broken leg out 6-8 weeks.

Diddle.

I blame you for lack of faith

I find his lack of faith ... disturbing. Wasn't it sens4win who posted earlier "were done" when Spezza got the call for pushing the stick?

Really?! Source?

SSF might get his wish if this is true...

What makes that figure even more stupid is that almost none of it was on the powerplay.

FYP

Well it's 4 on 4 and he's the fastest skating defenseman they've got. It's almost like playing with a 4th forward but he's quick enough to get back and start skating backwards at his blue line.

No he was right it was 3 on 3, both teams a player in the box. Other then that bang on analyst

Neely's whole point is that scoring isn't everything, and that people who think Spezza is "elite" and "essential to this team" spend too much time reading stats and not enough time watching games.

Try again.

Umm, actually, in the end, scoring *is* everything. If you don't score, you don't win. If you don't score more than the other team, you don't win. How you score makes absolutely no difference if you score a lot. Granted, he has not been scoring a lot (other than lately) but tonight he had one bad pass (behind the back to Alfie, but Alfie went for the net instead of getting open like Spezza thought). I saw the first and the third/OT, and in the 2nd he got a PP goal. From what I saw he had a very good game.

So is the next game Buffalo? I apologize I won't be able represent... I have class until 8:45 on Wednesdays.

I think I might go, so I will represent Sens Army.

I agree, Karlsson was standout. Far and away our best offensive D at the moment. Looking more confident and creating more each and every day.

Someone earlier in the thread said maybe too confident? As long as he has the wheels to make up for his mistakes I'm good with that.

Geez, that's what I thought too. A few days ago another player took a puck and broke his fibula, and when I saw the replay of Foligno I swwear I had a flashback.

Well, we've got Dono and Winch licking their lips now.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to correct him. I actually meant more when Karlsson started the OT. It makes sense because int hat situation (4 on 4) with more room out there you want your fastest players (and I *really* cannot explain why Martin had Gill out there). So when it was 3-on-3 it makes it even more important to have speed out there.

Winchester for sure gets back into the lineup. I suspect Regin moves up to take Foligno's spot on his line.

Erik Karlsson's hockey IQ is on the same level if not higher than Daniel Alfredsson's which is saying something.
