GAME DAY: Boston @ Ottawa, 7:30PM, Wednesday, December 14, 2011

This game was one of the Student Union games! Not bad for $21.

Boston: +38
Ottawa: -13

SensChirp says no Michalek tonight, Butler is in.

So no Milan Michalek tonight against the #Bruins. Bobby Butler expected to draw back in for the #Sens

Good thing +/- doesn't matter.

Good news. Keep building for the future. Rebuild back on track.

Michalek out with a concussion... doh.

Anderson confirmed started.

Anderson gets the start in net.

ScoreOttawa: Anderson to start tonight; MacLean hopes to get 1 of Kuba or Gonchar back for Friday's game.

The nice thing about the Sens is they are not a team that is going to get rolled over and physically beat up by this Boston team. Boston uses their size and intimidation factor to win a lot of games... Ottawa has a ton of push back.

This is a game the Sens should be in but might not win. Boston does have a relentless forecheck though and win Rundblad and Karlsson back there that could be a lot of trouble. I would be Rundblad see's very limited ice tonight.

Oh no. That's brutal.

Dear PP, please wake the Diddle up.

From what I remember last night, we did generate a bunch of chances on the PP…just had some poor luck.

You never know, though!

They are both playing second game in two nights, and both teams had to travel last night. Fatigue should not be a determining factor. However if they play Thomas then fatigue *could be* a factor. And if they play Rask then it goes the other way (Anderson only faced 29 shots, Rask faced 41).

From his Twitter account: Great W. #Cowen with the #GWG! We got momentum going in the 3rd and were rewarded. Gotta get home, Bruins tomorrow w/ the new lid! #sens20

The Hannibal Lecter mask FTW!

Both teams are in exactly the same situation.

So you say...twice. Or, back-to-back, as it were.
