I just got tickets to the game (Family Metro promo). Will the Sens go 0-3 in games I attend, and will my trend of losing when creating the GDT continue?

Will be wearing my Team Canada Rick Nash jersey!

any word on lines?

Well done Dash with the GDT! But I detest your record of going to games.....it also has alot to do with you cheering for the opposing team

Looks like no Filatov for this game....so much for the grudge matchup (right decision in the end)

I plan on getting cheap scalper tickets

Yeah nice work with the gdt dash

Nice GDT.

Love that top line.

Apparently Cowen was told today to go find a permanent place of residence.

This was a fait accompli before the puck even dropped on training camp. The big gap on the left side of our D guaranteed it.

Not to take away from Cowen, tho' -- he's earned it. He's looking a little less confident now than in pre-season, but I'm guessing he'll look like a vet of 5 years before the season is done.

Cowen has had some trouble for sure but he gets the job done for the most part. I think right now he is kind of hanging on but get him 20 or so games and you should see some more confidence.

living in montreal sucks! I finaly got videotron hooked up but the time shift doesn't include CBC ottawa. i'm going to miss most of these saturday games.

we should win this one but this is a desperate team we're facing so who knows.

I have Ottawa in my suicide pool tonight. No other games other than the Philly one I would touch and that's my other pick for the two entries.

Hopefully they pull this one out.

Columbus has to view this as their absolute best shot at ending the losing streak....sens are gonna be in for a tough game IMO.

Agreed.
