It's Patty's day, dude! I don't know about you, but I'm PVR'ing the game and gearing up for a pint or 12 as I type.

HA HA! True... having a Guinness right now...

The "Deller" has the Sens up 1-0 after 1.

Not a bad bounce back effort after the stinker last game. I want Butler to score please.

2 goals in 2 games?

neil = win!

Can we stop Cussing winning games please?

I'm getting really tired of these meaningless wins.

Hemmie's gonna lose it.

I'm getting close. Seriously, are we trying to tank or not? What exactly is this "plan" that Melnyk speaks of?

These meaningless wins are just that. I don't think we'll drop to 4th in the draft, but it's not out of the question.

Even worse, Cussing Nashville looks like they are on their way to a point at least, and Edmonton and Colorado are losing.

This is a watered down version of the late season Leafs surge we are all so fond of laughing at.

To be fair I don't think Melnyk et al. could have anticipated that late round picks Greening and Condra would have such a positive impact. I mean when you are tanking you get rid of the Vets and fill in with rookies and they did that. Anderson was super human and considering his season before his arrival that too couldn't have been expected. This team is relying on Brian Lee, Karlsson, and Hale on the back end and they're also relying on Butler, Greening, Condra, Shannon, and Neil pretty heavily and Alfie is out. What more could they do. They even have Lessard up. Should they have picked up a crappier goalie on waivers? Send Condra and Greening back down because they're too good right now? Find someone else that won't allow Spezza to be over a point a game? Maybe call up Benoit and bench Lee?

It's hard to be mad at your team for winning. Who knew MacDaddy would steal a game?

Did he not steal the one in Tampa as well. Who knew?

Yep. We need to get rid of this guy, pronto.

3rd last is just fine with me. With the way the lotto works the odds are high we'll stay in third.

Larsson and RNH get picked with the first two then we get Landeskog. Regardless of how it goes those three are highly regarded and the Sens will likely be happy with any one of those three. If we some how fall a bit in the Lotto there's still a guy like Strome who is climbing the rankings and looks like a nice guy to have.
