GAME DAY: Columbus Blue Jackets @ Ottawa Senators :: 1:00pm ET :: Sun. Nov. 17th, 2013

Let's get this party started! Note the 1pm start time today kids. Sens are coming off a come from behind win vs the Big Bad Bruins and are feeling good. Anderson gets the start. Bobby Ryan is questionable after taking an elbow to the face from Seidenberg that drew neither a penalty or a review by the league. The game vs the Buins was a microcosm of the Sens' season so far all in one game. Horrible and lazy play to start the game, going down early, then an amazing team effort to finish it out when they finally checked into the game. Spezza took over once he found his groove. Hopefully the Sens can put in a full 60 min effort today and put the boots to the Blue Jackets. Bobrovsky is likely to get the start for the Jackets today, to be confirmed later. Columbus will be without Horton, Bass, Calvert, Jenner and most recently, Marion Gaborik. Opportunity knocks for the Sens today. Gotta show no mercy and hit 'em hard right from the start. Need a big game from the stars - Spezza, Karlsson, Turris. Look for CMac to continue his pesky ways and a big game from Zibby.

Tentative lines for this afternoon:

Forwards:
9mm - Spezza - Conacher
CMac - Turris - BFR
Greening - Z. Smith - "WIN"
Kassian - Grant - Zibby

Defence:
Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Gryba
BigRig - BoroCop

Goaltending:
Anderson
Lehner



GO SENS GO!!!

Sens have not called anyone up to back fill for BFR if he can't go... so I'm assuming he's good to go. Our only scratches last game were D-men (Corvo, Wiercioch).

Ryan did provide an update yesterday...

It's mup-lighting time. Light a mup, mup, mup.

I still don't understand why Kassian is in the lineup against teams that don't play a rough style. Surely Crovo or Wiercioch could play 3 minutes on the 4th line?

Need more nicknames in the lineup.  No-one liked my "Heinz" or "Ketchup" for Grant?

Didn't you already use "Cyborg" last time?  Are you demoting him to no-nickname?

And wasn't Anderson   before?

Is Foligno going to play this time?

I guess Spartacat wasn't invited because Melnyk cut-up his corporate credit card.

I'm guessing yes but, it depends how his newborn is doing.

Nope.

Grant(ed) I have seen worse.  

Kassassin for Kassian?
