GDT: Preseason Game # 8 - NYR @ Sens (Rogers-22)

There is now.

Game is on Rogers-22 for those in the Ottawa area. Also likely on atdhe.net (as last night's game, which was also on MSG, was on). Whoever finds the direct link first, please post it.

For the second game in a row the Sens fell behind 0-2, came back to take a 3-2 lead, only to lose the game to a team wearing blue and white; this time with a little red trim. The game was tied 4-4 in regulation, thanks to Ryan Shannon's back-checking and stopping what likely would have been a GWG less than a foot from the goal-line. Not sure what Shannon was doing out in the last minute of a tie game but, whatever, it worked out.

Overtime was quite adventurous as well, with both teams getting chances to win it. With seconds to go, the Sens had a 3-on-1, but Alfie's shot went off the cross-bar. Alfie got his in the shootout with an awesome move -- I think the NHL should check his birth certificate again -- there's no way 38-year-old hips can move like that. Alas, that was the only goal the Sens got in the shootout, while the Rangers put two by Elliott for the win. Hmm, maybe Clouston should have put out Shannon as the third shooter, instead of Regin.

Ottawa Senators ‎#Sens defence pairs for tonight: Phillips-Karlsson, Campoli-Gonchar, Hale-Carkner. Leclaire expected to play 60 minutes in goal.


Ottawa Senators ‎#Sens lines against Rangers (subject to change): Michalek-Spezza-Alfredsson, Foligno-Fisher-Kovalev, Ruutu-Kelly-Neil, Regin-Smith-Shannon.

This is the closest we'll get to the regular season starting lineup. The only question mark there is Hale, on defense. Lee is or third rightie (Hale shoot left), and has played well, so I fully expect him to be in the lineup opening night. I think tonight may be Hale's audition for being the first call-up, as Cowen and Wiercioch need more seasoning/strength, respectively.

Is TSN doing IceChips this year? My old link has June 9 info. They *do* have a Sens/Rangers Ice Chips link on the front page, but it's a video clip.

Sorry, it's a just a javascript link and I can't find the media file. Just go here and find it in the right-hand side navigation panel: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/

So I guess Fisher's good to go?

I like this, this is a good barometer for us tonight. Just missing Winchester and potentially Lee, but getting Shannon in there again tonight is nice. He was good from what I saw last night.

Let's see how the D holds up and let's us how Leclaire holds up.

Should be a steady game for us, really nice attack for the most part. I'm quite excited.

Shannon definitely impressed last night. Hope he makes it tough on them to decide. Nothing like having too many NHL caliber players on the team.

Thanks for the GDT Prag's

I just edited your "There's no GDT?" thread first post Which explains the "There is now" reply.

Ya, I figured.

It's gotta be the middle of the night, where you are.

Is this game being televised?
