Feeling left out of the early vacation party in Carolina; Anderson decided it was his turn to take a night off and let 4 goals in on 7 shots before being yanked which turned out to be too little too late to save a game where the habs stomped the Sens 6-2.

The Flames come to town on Friday and should be facing a very tough Sens team looking to wipe that horrible loss out of their minds and take it out on Calgary at home . How the Sens react after a loss like the one on Tuesday should tell a lot about where we can expect this team to be come April.

Latest updates:
Chris Phillips is out "day-to-day" with a minor injury. Phillips - “I’ll go out and practice (Thursday), see how that goes, see how it responds the next day.” - OTTAWA SUN

OTTAWA (17-15-5)
Goals leader: Milan Michalek (19)

GO SENS GO!!!!

Nice PGDT, CLutch

Any updates on Big Rig? Did he participate in the Skills Competition (and if so, what is his skill)?

I haven't heard anything on Phillips though I'd imagine they'd have kept him out of the Skills competition as well just for precautionary reasons. I wasn't at the Skills this year. Anyone go that could enlighten us? Was Phillips participating on the ice?

Edit:

Phillips - “I’ll go out and practice (Thursday), see how that goes, see how it responds the next day.” - OTTAWA SUN

Updated the PGDT.

Good news of sorts. The Sens have a 5-1 record when losing by 3 or more goals in the previous game. Look out Flames.

Go Sens Go.

Updated the PGDT.

My son was there. I'll ask him when he wakes up. He's a teenager, so that might be a while.

Hmm, a small correction -- the Flames game will not finish off 2011 as they play the Sabres on New Year's Eve.

oops.

TONIGH... Oh wait.

All you need is a little morrow.

ScoreOttawa: Chris Phillips on the ice for practice this morning; Lines are shook up- Turris with Condra and Greening. Foligno with Smith and Butler.

Turris was third on the team in the speed skating event. Not sure about Condra, but he's no slouch. That is going to be a very fast line.

Phillips himself said he'd practice Thursday and see how it feels today. :D

GDT updated with the Sens practice lines from Thursday.

Karlsson, Greening, Turris were all in the 14 point something seconds range in the fastest skater competition. That's crazy awesome. We're finally one of the fastest teams in the Conference.

Flames coming off a regulation loss last night. This one should be a hard fought battle from both sides. I'm gonna go ahead and predict OT and possibly a shoot out for this game.
