Killer GDT! Go Sens!

Dash, do you have an opinion on my idea in the pool thread?

Konopka in, Lee out. I don't get it.

MacLean: http://senators.nhl.com/v2/ext/Audio/111015_MacLean.mp3

Says Konopka in for the veteran face off presence on the road.

Dare I say it? We're getting raped tonight.

Tonight???!

Can't scratch Phillips or Gonchar, and Konopka made his presence known in his debut. He deserves to be back in, despite the fact that Lee doesn't deserve to be back out.

I predict an embarassing loss. Auld is in goal if i remember correctly.

Meh, Ottawa usually plays Washington hard... The Caps still haven't learned how to up their game on a consistant basis. Their goaltending is also supsect.

It could go either way and I think the Sens lose, but I think it's close.

Yeah, Auld starts in this one.

Projected lines:

Forwards:
Greening - Spezza - Zibanejad
Michalek - Da Costa - The Alfie
Foligno - Regin - Neil
Condra - Konopka - Z. Smith

Defence:
Cowen - Gonchar
Kuba - Karlsson
Phillips - Rundblad

Goaltenders:
Auld
Anderson

Vokoun goes for the Caps. Neuvirth is out with a lower body injury.

Many goals for both sides I think.

Not unless they get a big lead first.
