If by thinking, you mean looking at the video I posted and called you out on, yup, you did a lot of thinking. I didnt even give you that rep point, haha, that's the funny part.

Leclaire for the majority of the game played well. I'm not overly excited though because of the opponent having really only one forward who can score and how weak he looked during the shootout. Once Elliott is healthy again, and I'm Clouston, he starts.
I still have to give guys like Spezza, Fisher, Kovalev, Neil, etc. credit for keeping the game close. Playing with the flu cannot be easy. Personally, whenever I have the flu, I can barely move.
Volchenkov and Phillips, I'm assuming had the flu. They really have been playing below the standards I have become accustomed to.

Leclaire made a lot of good saves in that 3rd period man. That was the kind of game he needed to feel the puck, get into a game, and start to gain back a bit of confidence. There were a lot of in tight chances last night where he had to make a lot of good saves. It's important for Ottawa they have both goaltenders going if they want any kind of cup run.
Like you said, chalk the last 2 games up to the flu, see how they come out Tues night in Edmonton. That's a perfect game to determine if this team is totally bogus.

Color commentator said Kaberle is the only current Leaf player with playoff games. He must have meant playoff games as a Leaf. I'm pretty sure Giguere had a little post-season playing time. Phaneuf, too.

Come on, Neely, people make mistakes. No need to call it BS, just say "Actually he got a concussion on XXX" and be done with it.
You were completely ignoring the *main* point of his argument -- that Michalek is gun-shy after a concussion.

I don't think it matters who starts Tuesday night, but overall Leclaire is just one big disappointment IMO. He made some nice saves like you said, but he wasn't close to stopping Kessel or freaking Kulimen in the shootout.
I forgot to add in my original post that Cullen and Sutton played great. Cullen must have logged some serious minutes last night. These two were blocking shots like crazy during the penalty kills. The two new Sens are looking good!

Count me in on the side that would rather have Michalek over Heatley in the playoffs. When the going gets tough, and the pace picks up both Heatley and Thornton will begin to disappear.

It would be one thing to compare Heatley to aonther elite player like Parise, who yes, I would rather have in aplyoff run. But to say you would rather have a 60-point, secondary player then a 50-goal sniper is odd to me...
