GAME DAY:Ottawa Senators @ Minnesota Wild - 8:00pm ET - THU. Dec. 16, 2010

Yay a win?

Juuuust the two of us

Now...can they win back to back for first time in a month? Can they score more than 3 goals ever?

Didn't see the game, but now EK's in sole possession of second place in team scoring, behind Alfie but ahead of Spezza, Fisher, Kovalev, Gonchar, etc.

Wow, that disallowed goal was just what we needed. After that happened I knew it was our game to lose, as things seemed to be working in our favour for a change.

Another nice performance by Leclaire - cleary this guy is the number 1.

How is Leclaire clearly the #1? I'm not an Elliott fan but he still has more wins and better stats than Leclaire and the only reason Leclaire even got some games recently (before tonight's game) was because Elliott had some sort of injury.

In my eyes, it's still a "win and you're in" situation.

Screw the stats. Earlier in the year Leclaire should have had about 3 or 4 more wins, but didn't get any run support to speak off. IMO he has been head and shoulders above Elliott for the last little while. I'm not sure if it's Elliott's injury they keep mentioning that's holding him back, but he's been sub-par recently and doesn't seem comfortable.

I still see Leclaire as a Fleury-style player, so when he gets hot, he has the potential to get really hot (I think). I'm an Elliott guy, but I say ride Leclaire like crazy.

First period and a half they were asleep, but they woke up after the disallowed goal. Nice to see Karlsson escape from the play on the board to get an assist - I hope he looks at the tape again.

Foligno was great, really impressed. Lee was pretty solid too...

It was just a boring game all around. Both teams suck.

Tonight is the night.

Sens are gonna make it right.

BOOK IT!

Missed the game, but I'm glad to see that Flo has reversed polarity. Much better this way, yes?

EDIT: Wait! Does this mean I'm the new Flo?!? Noooooooooooo

no more games for you!

in leclaire's defense, appart from injuries leclaire has been solid pretty much all season. something elioss (sorry) hasn't been able to say. i agree that leclaire needs to get on a roll to stay hot but it could be a season roll...
now if our team could get it in their hearts to score more.

This team still needs a natural LW for line one and a thumping D-man. I hope we don't trade picks, but if we want the 8th spot, we need to look at cheap options there.

It's in Leclaire's best interest to stay in. He has a chance to go on a roll and earn a good paying job next season. Otherwise, it riding the backup bench (ala Biron) for him next year and a huge pay cut. (not saying we'll resign him though)
