But it's hard to argue against Bishop, other than the fact that he wasn't incredibly sharp when he came in in the 3rd period last game. We'll see...again, I defer to the 'stache. I questioned keeping JOB out of the lineup, and that worked just fine in both instances.

We'll need Lehner against Price and the Habs more than against Scrivens and the Lupul-less Leafs.

Not like it worked against the habs. Something about sens unable to best the leafs at home, they definitely get flustered hearing the boos at home

The only solution is to buy tickets ourselves. Sens fans have started shying away from these games. There is nothing to be done other than buy tickets. As of yesterday, there were still tickets for sale. So instead of whining about it (which I'm sick of), all Sens fans need to do is fork over some cash.

Another solution is to put a restriction on that if you live in area code 416/905 or postal code beginning with M or L you can't buy tickets to Leafs games in Ottawa.

There are bus loads -- lots of bus loads coming from Toronto. The insistence by CBC to have these losers on every Saturday night is the reason so many Leaf fans... EVERY Leaf game in Ottawa is on a Saturday...

I know Boston had 1 game cancelled/postponed because of a storm but ya thats alot of games in hand

You know he was sent to Binghamton to make room for the Lehner call-up. Right?

We were going to the Isles game the other night on a shuttle bus from a restaurant.

There was a Leaf fan on the bus... loud, ignorant, arrogant and every thing else a Leaf fan is. The language coming out of him was just awful.. especially with children on the bus.

The bus driver was ready to turn around and back to the restaurant because of this 1 guy.

BTW -- he was pretty quiet on the way back from the game... because the Sens won.

I'm usually there for each leafs game but I promised myself I wasn't buying any tickets this season. But yeah our fans need to step up a little more. Might get ugly tonight

its not like we can't outnumber them....how did we do it during all star weekend? Senators got it right, they have to get prevent the temptation to give away their tickets

Heh. No surprise this will backfire. It gave them additional incentive to go to the game.

The only way to have the last laugh is to win the game.

GO SENS GO!!!

That's terrible. The bus driver should have turfed him out - I would have 100% complained if I were you.

Ask a skill testing question at the door.

2013 - 1967 = ?

I think that's beyond the mental capacity of the average Leafs fan.

How many would answer "Dougie?"

CBC said when Gonchar started playing professional hockey, 5 players on our team were not born yet

Slater: Lineup sheets are out - Mike Lundin is out, Andre Benoit is in.

Nice.

Are Lundin's days here numbered?

Lundin has the flu apparently.

Lundin is out with the flu, huge loss
