Put Spezza out there with Kassian and Neil and play them 25 minutes...that might work. You don't know, but you gotta try something new.

Well, if I was wearing the 'stache the "something new" I'd try is giving Lehner the start. #RememberTheCalder

That'd be the biggest slap in the face to , who absolutely has earned and deserves to start the game.

The problem has nothing to do with goaltending.

if they are tied or up after 10 minutes, they win the game. That simple.

Diddle. I want Conacher back.

PMac mindfucking the media... wait until puck drop.

I wouldn't. Anderson is the better goalie right now. That is all.

You run with Anderson, he got us here.

Goaltending isn't the problem, the team played like they booked their tee times between game 3 and 4.

Let's face it we are outclassed by Pittsburgh. They'd have to mess up and we have to play a perfect game to win.

Yeah, last game was the fault of the team playing in front of Anderson. Can't hang that on him. The team should feel shame for how they played in front of him, and hopefully come out with a much better effort tonight.

#ragebeastmode .... ENGAGED!

Before mendes tweets about it, since he's known to remind ppl of trends and stats, I'll just go ahead and do it here:

- Sens have never once been tied after 2 periods in any of their playoff games
- Sens have trailed after 2 periods in 7 of 9 games so far
- 3 of the 5 sens playoff victories were come from behind when down after 2 periods

Barry Brust got the B-Sens into the playoffs. They were not a high seed. They did not have any big scorers. Brust got them to the dance and the crowds loved him. The team was 1-3 and it really wasn't Brusty's fault. Lehner went in, nonetheless, and the rest is history.

Say what you will about how they hanged him out to dry, fact of the matter is he had 2 regular season games with SV% under .870, and he's had 3 such games in this round. In the Montreal series his lowest one was .912. He ankle could be less than 100%; he could be worn down -- no matter what it is, he is not playing as well as he did.

They were outplayed in game 3. Anderson stood on his head (.980) for the win.

How 'bout: The Pens are 0-6 in home games when going for the series win with Bylsma behind the bench.

Looked like a distinct kick to me coming off the ice a bit. Can't catch a break
