GAME DAY:New York Islanders @ Ottawa Senators - 7:30pm ET - TUE. Feb. 15, 2011

The Ottawa Senators (18-30-8, 44 pts) host the New York Islanders (20-29-7, 47 pts) Tuesday night. Ottawa is coming off of it's second win of 2011 and first win this month in a 5-3 battle not to be the cellar dweller. Bobby Butler got his first goal and first multi-point game by adding an assist on the night. Elliott got the win and looked pretty solid as well. Regin and Kovalev seemed to rekindle that magic they once had which should help increase AK27's market value.

The Islanders, on the other hand, are coming off a lopsided 9-3 victory that saw plenty of dirty play, fines and suspensions. It also caused a media frenzy with Mario Lemieux's critical comments regarding the discipline handed out after the game. Zenon Konopka blasted back at Lemieux in an article in the Sun that just makes Zenon look worse IMO - Konopka rips Super Mario -

Heh heh.

PSBJoy says that Condra, not Keller, is up for the game. Here's hoping he has a good game.

Heh heh.

I really wish you guys wouldn't pick on him.

He is a warrior that is doing everything he can to get back in the lineup and help the Sens make one last push towards the playoffs.

SSF... is that you?

Condra gets a chance, that's fantastic. Keller gets shafted slightly, but...yeah, that's life.

Shhhh. I guessed CockRoche's password. I typed in his username and guessed "Leclaire" as his password, and voila.

Haha.

Looks like Elliott may get the start... Scott MacArthur is suggesting this. Still to be confirmed though.

A true warrior just stays in the lineup. Specially in the regular season when it counts the most. Underperforming because of injury and dragging the team down with you is the warrior way.

Weird. Wasn't it determined after last game that Lehner would start? Maybe it's because Elliott played well and Lehner just played in Bingo?

Elliott confirmed to start. Carkner won't play (injury).

Diddle! That's ridiculous. I wanna see Lehner start.
