Probably the Islanders, especially since Kevin Poulin is up with the team

Dan Seguin: Milan Michalek says his knee feels good but he definitely will NOT play tomorrow night in Boston. #cbcott

can never get tired of this

It was both really cool and really dumb rolled into a ball.

Going to be a fun game to watch. Not a big game by any stretch, Boston looks to be running away with the East (or at least they will) and Ottawa has just knocked off 5 in a row and put some distance between them and the 9th place team.

Def not a must win or one you need to take a point out of but absolutely one you would love to put in the bank.

Don't see the Sens winning this one but who knows, hard work pays off a lot more than not.

Boston is under 3 G/G, their PP is atrocious (13.7%?), their PK is lights out (who cares, we can't score anyway), they haven't lost when scoring first or leading after 1. On paper, they will win 3-0 or 3-1, maybe 4-2 with an empty netter. On ice, we'll see tonight.

Let's look at it another way. Montreal scores 2.85 G/G, a bit less than Boston's 2.94. We held them to one goal (and 3-4 posts), and that goal was scored on a bogus penalty -- Boston's PP is worse than Montreal's.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bishop will need to be good again, team needs to be better than they were against Montreal (which they will be) for the Sens to have a chance for sure. That said, they have had a couple days off, hopefully this was enough time to recharge the batteries even just a little and they can play a solid game, start to finish.

GAME DAY!

Interesting tweet from Mendes:

"One year ago today: Sens beat Bruins 1-0. Lehner with shutout. Karlsson with goal from Spezza/Michalek. All 4 won't play tonight vs BOS."

That's just a sad tweet to read

Where would we be if we had our normal roster ?

At the exact same spot? We've won 5 in a row

The only thing that's going to mess up our current momentum is getting guys back from injury.

Expected to be Bishop vs Rask tonight... confirmations should be coming out soon...

You don't pull Bishop after the game he had, Lehner will play in one of the B2B games this weekend.
I suspect a rematch against Poulin

Mendes says this is our best start since the 07-08 season(26pts in 20 games).
Oh yes I remember THAT season ....
