And, guess what, it *is* January.

They were showing Anderson's stats before the game. Pretty incredible that he had 18 wins with a sub-900 SV%. Would tonight's performance put him at or over .900?

Edit: Yep. .901!

Sweet. It's awesome that he's top-5 (whoa...he's tied for second) in wins. This team keeps finding ways to win games.

Sweet win. Turris with his first and the game winner. Alfie is amazing. Anderson played awesome. Great win!

GO SENS GO!!!

We be in 5th now.

Lucky to be up 2-0 after two, but a solid third. Nice game by Anderson, Alfie, Turris, Cowen, Condra. Not Karlsson's best game, but winning without him at his best is an accomplishment in itself.

was our best player tonight, right up there with The Alfie. Great to see. We were kinda lucky to win this game, with St Louis and Stamkos missing several chances. TBay really is a one line team.

I was wholly unimpressed with the Lightning. One line team with a very average D - and little to no goaltending.

One guy makes that much a difference?

Ohlund and Hedman log a combined 50-ish minutes, gotta thiink that makes a big difference.

Oh yeah...Ohlund.

Good start to January. Nice little 4 game winning streak going. Wonder what are our chances against the Flyers.I'm hoping for a split.

massive 3 games coming up with the Philly home and home and then the Rags next week.. If we could take 4 point out of 6 we are laughing

With two struggling goalies and no Jagr up-front ... we still have to deal with the league's best forward. But I still think we can take one of the home-and-home games, and hopefully steal a point in the other. We'll need Andy to be The One to get 4 of the six points, though.

Philly, Philly, Pitt, Rags, Habs are the next 5 games...

I'd like to see 3 straight wins with significant injuries inflicted on opposing players.

I'd like to take out Lundqvist. He's all that stands between us and a Eastern Conference Finals appearance versus the Bruins.

Bad karma for taking a goalie out. What goes around comes around. Not worth it.

I hear both our goalies are awful, so does it matter?

It does matter. You wouldn't want retaliation in any form - even if it isn't now, but in the future. Hockey players, despite the head injuries, don't forget (thanks to the media too).

If Lundqvist is their MVP, then the logical retaliation from them is to eliminate the Sens MVP, and that could be Karlsson, Spezza Michalek or Aflredsson. Can't afford to lose anyone of them. And if Anderson was the recipient, joking aside, the Sens would be worse off.
