Don't think it matters now. It's gotta be Anderson all the way till they clinch a spot at least. If he gets pulled and we put Auld in, well then we've already lost the game.

I'm also not so down on Auld like the rest of the peeps here. The man has delivered 2 solid victories against quite the superior opponents in PIttsburgh and Nashville (and an OT loss in Vancouver). Ppl jump all over him for that poor game against Boston but quickly forget the center ice goal allowed by the very same Anderson.

Any ways, moot point now. You gotta start Andy all the way till we clinch. Then maybe think about calling up Lehner (which will prob only have 2-3 games remaining in the season)

This is a HUGE game tonight. Buffalo and Washington are nipping at our heels and playing inspired hockey right now- we have to ensure that we stay above them. Of the remaining 6 games, there's 3 that are above us in the standings, and 3 that are below. These are the games we MUST win to ensure a playoff spot. Nothing's guaranteed yet.

Let's hope Andy plays a solid game tonight and builds some confidence from a victory.

Agreed. I'm hella nervous for this game. The playoffs have indeed begun for the sens and they need to show it tonight.

My big fear is that tomorrow's Buffalo/Washington game goes to OT.

The good news is:
Thursday - Washington at Boston
Friday - Pittsburgh at Buffalo

Sens will have one game in hand on both teams at the end of Friday.

Still, a win tonight makes EVERYONE breathe a little easier. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE.

Boston just rested Thomas too, so he should play vs. the Caps.

The Senators are only two points up on the Buffalo Sabres and four points ahead of the No. 9 Washington Capitals.

The Jets are sitting four points out of a playoff spot.

They really need some new writers here, it's just getting worse.

With that being said, GO SENS GO!!!

Yeah, not great. Our schedule is not easy to close out the season either, we have 2 games where we should win or we've got problems, those being tonight and Sunday against the Isles. Of course nothing is guaranteed, but if we don't win those 2 we're really setting ourselves up for a heart attack end of the season. (as if it isn't already)

Good news is when we will be watching the standings this week there are 2 tough games for Buffalo and Washington.

Thursday - Washington at Boston
Friday - Pittsburgh at Buffalo

only thing I'm nervous about is if Pittsburgh ever decides to start resting their guys...hopefully they won't considering they're trying to take over 1st in the East and they'll have to get as many points as possible to close out the season to ensure they keep top spot.

Tue: Sabres @ Capitals.

Please, no 3-point game.
