GAME DAY - Ottawa Senators @ Tampa Bay Lightning, 7:30 PM, March 6th

Gilroy has had a strong game imo

9mm with the hat trick!!! Sens win 7-3. Sweet.

Feels like we won because Roloson is 2010-2011 Brian Elliott/Pascal Leclaire bad.

Bishop looked a bit shaky, made some good stops but he goes down like the Leafs in the standings come spring.

Natural hatty for 9mm... two empty netters though... odd way to do it.

7 goals and Spezza didnt get 1 point, not sure if thats a good or bad thing.

Very good thing IMO.

We'll get burned by Karlsson fancy moves from time to time, but damn that kid is Awesome.

Bishop looked okay, little shaky, but hung in there.

Lost a little respect for Michalek here

Why, who cares?

Someone, please get Shabbs away from that animated GIFs site.

A win's a win. So, back to Bingo for Big Ben or what?

King Karlsson with the game winner. You think he can squeeze another 4 to make it to 20?

Two empty netters to get a natural hattrick is an odd, odd way to do it. I still respect him, though.

Who's next?

Karlsson was great...20's hopefully in reach.

ok Karlsson. WTF. is there a new young god in town??? Norris trophy FTW!!!

Not a big deal...just thought he should have passed to somebody who was struggling maybe

Boucher was funny at we went up 5-3 on that PP goal:

Phillips had to have his schnozz re-set and won't be available against the Rags.

JOB had a nagging UBI which they felt was best to rest lest it got worse (yeah, I did; I just said "best rest lest" in a row).

Seven goals, three of them by his winger, and not so much as an assist for Spezza is one of those once-in-a-blue-moon situations. Getting two empty netters in one game, by the same guy, to complete a natural hattrick falls under the same category: weird.

Why does that Guy keep applauding me? Is it really *that* witty? Come on, stop. No, please, STOP! SOMEONE MAKE HIM STOP!!!

Totally, I mean he should not have even been on the ice. Hell, he should have put the puck in his own net, that I would respect. I can't believe he would do that.



WTF are you smoking man? Jeezus.

Why did Potvin keep referring to T-Bay as the team in black? That was weird.

Anyway, it was an entertaining game...kinda sloppy, but the W is what matters. Spezza was +4 on the night, so you can't complain about his game too much. I would take it as a positive that we put up 5 real goals without his aid.

I hope Phillips isn't out too long, as he's our best defensive defenceman.

Karlsson's defence really impresses me. Watching him strip the puck from guys with ease is amazing. It seems like as soon as a forward gets a pass near the blue-line, he's all over 'em.

Bishop was solid, if unspectacular.

We're now 8 pts clear of 9th.
