GAME DAY: NY Islanders @ Ottawa, 7:30PM, Friday, February 3, 2012

The Sens suffered their 4th loss in a row which many blame, at least partially, on the refs. The fluke goal at about center ice didn't help nor did the Sens inability to put together a full 60 minute effort having come out flat and having also ended the game somewhat flat.

Next up are the Islanders, at home, in the first of back to back home games which finishes with the hated Leafs on Saturday. The Sens can't afford to take any team lightly and need to get back to the work ethic that saw them vault their way comfortably into a playoff spot. That spot is quite tenuous right now and a couple more losses could potentially seem them on the outside looking in.

What he said.

We gotta have this one.

I must say, I'm a fan of Friday night games. There's no better use of an evening than watching hockey.

Usually you can order single games via NHL CI. I'm out of the "Sens broadcast zone" and can usually do it. Will have to check the guide...

Are you with Bell by any chance Shabbs? Cause when we moved back to Ottawa from Brampton, we cancelled Bell at the other end (out of contract) and then when we got here we signed back up (they offered us a returning customer deal). So when we got everything set up at this end, we couldn't get any Ottawa programming (Sportsnet-E games were blacked out). Turns out that they had our receiver associated with Brampton.

Moral of the story? No matter where you are located physically, your programming is dependent on where Bell thinks you are. Figure it out

I'm with Rogers.

Via Mendes: Evgeni Nabokov will start in goal for the Islanders vs Ottawa tonight.
