Game Night - Montreal @ Ottawa, Wed, Jan 30, 2013

Projected Lineup

Michalek/Regin/Silfverberg
Latendresse/Turris/Alfi
Greening/Smith/Neil
JOB/Zibanejad/Condra

Methot/Karlsson
Boroweicki/Phillips
Benoit/Weircioch

Anderson
Bishop

Scratches: Spezza, Daugavins, and Gonchar

Hopefully we can win more faceoffs than we did last night. That's another area where missing Spezza hurts. Not sure Borocop plays tonight, but I'd like to see him back in there...show some confidence in him.

I certainly think goes again. How can you not play him? He's the best goalie in the league right now.

Lucky break getting Budja tonight, Price has been lights out to start the season so hopefully their game changes a little and Ottawa can rip off another win.

Would like to see Spezza sit another game, at worst they split the back to back at home if they lose, maybe they can take it to a Habs team that played last night and had to travel away from their own beds... Ottawa got to sleep in their own. Let Spezza have the 5 days off and recover from w/e is ailing him, it's a long season and the Sens are 4-1-1, no reason what so ever to rush him back.

Anderson obviously will start and maybe you give the game on Friday night to Bishop. The 7 games don't really matter but you need him to stay somewhat sharp.

Hopefully Spezza isn't having back problems again

MacLean, when asked if Z-Bad earned the right to play tonight: "He was the first star. We usually play the first star."

GO SENS GO!!! STOMP THOSE SMURFS!!!

Would not be surprised to see no changes to the lineup. If Spezz is hurting, let him rest.

Fast team and not that small anymore. They don't seem to play the trap like before that made Karlsson struggle against them, so I expect 65 to make some good rushes tonight.
Just throw that puck at the net AMAP

I guess we'll find out later today if PK is in or not. I'll be surprised if he suits up.

I'd be shocked ... but in a good way. He'd be sooooooo bad.

Perfect comment.

A player's coach.

I don't think PK will play tonight. Apparently he was joining the team today, so I doubt he gets in the lineup that fast.

Bet you he gets in on Sunday. Either way, he's there and it's a total distraction tonight for the Habs along with playing Budja... no reason the Sens don't win this short of having no energy which might be the case.

When was the last time Budja played in a game? He should be beyond rusty and they need to get it to the net tonight and just bang at pucks, they do that they will be successful.

Any update on Spezza?
