GAME DAY - Pittsburgh Penguins @ Ottawa Senators, Saturday, Mar. 24, 2012

Get a point! Get a point! Get a point!

Must win tonight, suck because it shouldn't be this way. Anderson has lost his job.

This is precisely why I was not a fan of the Sens schedule. You said their schedule was ideal, but as I said, sitting back in this position with less games remaining than the opposition, and playing your way out of the playoffs sucks, when all you can do is watch and hope other teams win/lose.

Of course, if the Sens were locked in this wouldn't be a problem. But now they find themselves in a position where they have to win, and they have to hope other teams lose. No control over their future.

We're done as toast.

That singer was awful - my ears were in pain. And she took sooooooo dammnnnnnnnn looooonnnngggg to finnnniiiishhh O'Caaaaannnaaaaaaaddaaaaaa

And the game is, no surprise, in SD on Bell.

Sens up 1-0, 9MM

Cooke ties it up

Check your notes, bud. We never said the schedule was ideal. We only said that our schedule after the ASG was easier than the rest of the league. We overcame a major hump by coming out of the first half with a lead greater than the number of games in hand. The opposition colsed the gaponly partially because they had more games. It was mostly because we scored 6 goals in 5 games and could not beat Montreal and Toronto.

Just in case you want to hear it again, http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=167395

I think that singer used to do the anthems at Expos games. She was f'n terrible and dragged out the anthems.

The Sens lack of speed on the blueline is really getting exposed tonight. #1 priority in the off-season is to get a young, top 4 d-man.

PP is now 0-24. That has cost the team valuable points. Buffalo tied with Minnesota. C'mon Heatley!!!

Gonchar ties it up, Phillips with the go-ahead. Sens lead 3-2, and you know their record when Phillips scores, right?

Phillips now leads Sens D-corps with PP goals.

Not sure what's sadder, that he leads, or that he so much as gets enough PP time to get the lead.

4-3 sens, back and forth.

And as you say that the back-end scores two goals.

I think we need more put-downs from you. Go on. Tell them how ugly they are.

Make that three goals. Gonchar with his second!
