Game Day - Florida @ Ottawa, 7:30PM, Thursday, October 27, 2011

The jersey is 4-0!!!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

That's some storybook Dung for Da Costa right there. Rundblad too. Both of them making loud statements tonight. Love it.

Safe to say Gonchar's back now, or is it too soon?

Rundblad's pass was what got that goal going.

That was a good shift all around. Started with a DaCosta steal and lot of second efforts by all 5.

Yeah, all 5 of them in on that one. Da Costa made a great play to steal for sure.

That team doesn't stop working either. Unreal how much different they look than last year. Being blown out those 2 games might have been the best thing that could possibly happen to the Sens early in the year.

People were on Murray about giving Greening and Condra 1 way deals... well he looks like a genius at this point. Both those guys are really solid hockey players.

Da Costa was awesome

Spezza looked ok, wish he would play a road game every night, he's a better player when he does that.

Murray did the smart thing flushing the season when he did and giving looooooooong auditions to Greening and Condra among others. Those signings were close to foolproof.

He's back, him and Cowen look like they have a ton of chemistry and are really getting a feel for each other now. He's controlling parts of the game again.

Absolutely. Greening is going to be a good player for a long, long time. Condra is being turned into the perfect 3rd, 4th line winger who works the PK.

I was at the CBJ game and this one is right up there in terms of excitement. My wife was at this game so it turns out she's the good luck charm.

Seriously. That was awesome. Don't know if he's been credited, but we won that game because of (again). He made some really key saves.

Sens in 8th spot now...

I would say that is probably the biggest team win you can have. Singling any one player out probably isn't the right way to go, every player contributed.

That first goal was a stinker though. No worries, nobody remembers Dung goals when you win.

Should have been stopped by that shot was going over 100mph for sure. Just tee'd up perfectly.

That play was dead until Rundblad made an insanely prescient interception (I don't know how else to describe that right now...I'm a little drunk. Bottom line, just intercepting that pass takes tremendous hockey sense). To then draw both defenders to him and dish it back to Alfie before the FLA player that was out of the zone had a chance to make himself relevant, that just made it one of the most outstanding plays I've seen from a rookie defender in a very very long time.

Maybe it's just me, but I find Cowen to be the least confident that I've seen him since his first couple of games. He's getting there, but I find he took a step back the last couple of games.

Give it an hour and they will be in 7th.

Not only that though, he made another ridiculous play weaving through the Panthers like they were pylons and making a pretty damn nice play to almost score. Kid's legit, very exciting.

I thought Cowen has been really good. Being a defensive D man as a rookie can't be easy but he looks good. Real good game tonight.
