Lehner!

Huge game for us. NJ could pull within 5 points with the win.

I'm hoping for a 1-0 loss with Lehner making 50+ saves!

Interesting stat from last season.. after the All-Star break... we won 14 of 16 games.

EDIT: This is wrong... proper stat: entering the Olympic break we won 14 of 16. After the break, we won 1 of 10.

Since we're into fixing errors here, I'm sure you meant after the Olympic break...

Heh. Actually I'm even more way off on that one...

Entering the Olympic break... we won 14 of 16... after the break... just 1 in 10.

Nothing to see here...

Ruutu also out due to injury.

Robin Lehner will start tonight and will face Martin Brodeur.

As per CheapShot Brennan,

"The Senators will be short a forward as centre Jesse Winchester stayed home for "personal" reasons. "

Dominoes?

Hmmmm I wonder if we'll even have a game here tomorrow...all flights to and from Toronto, New York, amongst others are cancelled today through tomorrow night probably. They've cancelled 6,000 flights pending this crazy storm we're about to get hit with.

Not only is Greening on the 4th line, he's part of a 4th line with only 2 players on it. Go Clouston (and Sens)!

Let's hope they can get out before the snow really starts. There is a smaller system ahead of it that is probably hitting the east coast now.. but the big stuff comes tomorrow morning.

West of us is where it is worse right now.. could be planes coming in from there can't get to NY. Chicago is bad.. and I think a lot of planes go in through there.

Sens will be able to land in Ottawa -- but can they leave NJ.. they do travel by charter.

Nice to see that Greening has an opportunity to show what he's got :D
