GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Washington Capitals - 7:00pm ET - Thu. Apr. 25th, 2013

OK. Let's do this. The game of questions... Will this game mark the return of Karlsson? Will the Sens clinch a playoff spot? Will Anderson get into his #BEASTMODE finally?

Every game is big until you clinch and the Sens want to close out on a high note. Let's get back to winning. Sens can punch their post season ticket on Thursday with a win over the Caps thanks to the Jets losing last night. Let's do this the right way. We control our destiny. Let's do it.

Some line juggling going on today...

Conacher-Turris-Michalek
Greening-Smith-Alfredsson
Silfverberg-Zibanejad-Condra
Latendresse-Pageau-Neil

Karlsson-Methot
Gryba-Phillips
Gonchar-Cowen

Weircioch looks to be the odd man out.

Anderson expected to start.

GO SENS GO!!!

It's time to get weird...

I started pooping in the sink for good luck. Is that weird enough?

Sounds good.

Bur probably smells turdible

Anderson has been confirmed as the starter but they stubbornly refuse to say Karlsson will start. We've heard everything:
- he won't play just as a PP specialist
- it's all up to him to say he's ready
- there's a "slim" chance he'll play
- you never know

Frankly, I'm getting really pissed off at this. How much can change between now and tomorrow anyway? If the aren't sure he's ready today, then is there really a reason to think about putting him in at all?

We need to win so we can give some vets a night off or two. Remember that we don't stop on the 27th like everyone else, so we're not going to get 3 days off before the post-season starts.

By the way, given that Anderson had all that time off, I assume he doesn't need a night off. But on the other hand you don't want Lehner to be out of it this long. Do you give him the Boston game?

I guess all of that depends on the outcome of the Washington and or Philly game, doesn't it?

Take a breath Prags. Karlsson will be back tomorrow or vs. Philly. He's just getting back to game shape.

won't get a game off unless he really poops the bed tomorrow, or that last game vs Boston is meaningless.

Better than pooping the sink.

That may be your opinion.

Could be career-ending.

Would hate to lose Anderson, Spezza and young Philly.

It messes with Washington's Game plan
