GAME DAY: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Ottawa Senators - 7:00pm ET - Sat. Mar. 30th, 2013

Diddle. Them. Up. Good.

That is all.

GAME DAY!

No decision on the starting goalie yet... wonder if they're go with Lehner... Bishop's coming off a shutout...

SOLD!!!

Kassian's first taste of the Battle of Ontario. Get ready for some punch-punch.

I'd like to say I would be surprised if Bishop didn't start, but then I don't think I would be, given previous decisions. About the only thing we know for sure is that Spezza hasn't been practicing with the team and, unless the Euge built him some secret, underground facility he really is nowhere near ready. Right next to the forensic labs where the forensic doctors are studying and analyzing the forensic evidence being compiled against Matt "Never Saw It Coming" Cooke.

P.S. I don't know why it's so difficult to spell f-o-r-e-n-s-i-c. I guess my fingers are just too used to typing s-e-n-s in that order.

Common sense dictates no changes to the lineup, Bishop to start. 'StacheSense (tm) trumps common sense, though.

Goaliepost.com has Lehner as probable.

2 back of Boston, 3 back of Montreal. Go Philly! Go Rags! Something tells me we're not making up any ground tonight. But I'd love to be wrong.

OTTAWA

No Cold Players

Yet the Sens are the only team with not a single 10-goal scorer (after Vinny Prospal got #10 last night).

Lupul's been on fire lately. Gonna have to contain him.

By "contain" I hope you mean "injure."

Sounds like Neil won't go tonight... the cut he sustained last game seems to be an issue...

Bishop was in the starter's net today... looks to be the starter.

Goaliepost.com has not changed to Bishop as "firm". I guess that's the last step before "confirmed"?

Is he a "No" or a game-time decision?
