GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins :: 3:00pm ET :: Sat. Feb. 8th, 2014

Last game before the Olympic Break shabbsGDT Edition!

*** Note the early start at 3:00pm on CBC ***

Sens roll into Boston to face the Chara-less Bruins. Chara left early to be the flag bearer for the Olympics. Craig Anderson was confirmed as started already. Rask will likely go for the B's. Da Costa was sent down yesterday ahead of the roster freeze deadline. He certainly made an impression with this call-up, he will be missed in this game. No doubt he'll be back up after the break. I suspect we'll see Kassian draw in. Would be nice to close out this string of games with a win before the break. Sens are gonna have to play a solid game and get rubber on Rask. Spezza has certainly answered his critics of late and has stepped his game up along with 9mm. Hopefully this carries over into today's game. I think BigRig is still out. Let's GO!

GO SENS GO!!!

Nice to see the Gregger finally get a shot.

Boston is well ahead int he division, I think they let this one slip from their heads before vacation... also believe they see Johnson in the nets.

Boston is 13 pts up on the Sens. Break it down it wins.. it's 6.5 wins more than the Sens. Considering the terrible start the Sens had... is that as bad as it seems?

Ian Mendes mentioned on his twitter.. that since mid-December only two NHL teams have not lost 2 regulation games back to back. They are the Pens and the Sens..

I'm also trying duck for the first time for lunch. I have never tried it before so I wanted to try duck because it was on sale. I hope the duck was blue.

Verdict on the blue duck... amazing.

What the Diddle is a blu duck

Why did we send da costa down?

I've never seen a blue duck before and honestly I just wanted to see a blue duck.

Still no word on the Boston starter.

It was raised and slaughtered humanely.  Well, as humanely as possible with slaughter.

EDIT: Ah, correction, I was thinking of Blue Goose.

When you choke a duck out.. you get a blue duck.

Hey-O!!

God we suck at afternoon games
