So, are Sens a legitimate underdog against the resurgent Bruins (2-1-0 without Chara) or is it all adrenaline and the Sens, yet again, lucked out on the schedule?

Wonder who starts? Anderson has 5 starts to Lehner's 4, their SV%/GAA are almost identical (Lehner is slightly ahead in both). But Lehner hasn't lost in regulation (3-0-1), has historically done well against Boston, and Anderson faced a ton of shots 2 nights ago. Of course Lehner could be a little tired himself, if Lennox is anything like most newborns.

Svedberg played Thursday against Buffalo, so we're probably seeing Rask, who has been a little inconsistent this season.

Boston is missing three regular defensemen: Chara, Miller (shoulder) and Krug (finger). With three AHL call-ups they "limited" the Sabres to 15 shots on goal (didn't they only get 10 against the Leafs?)

Anderson was 2-1 against the Bs last season; Lehner was 0-1 in two games (relieved Anderson in one game) and had sub-.900 SV% in both games). So based on the most recent season Andy has done better against the Bruins.

They're saying booo-urns

Uh-oh. This Dalai Lama guy is beginning to piss me off:

Should be a pretty even game, but who knows. I'd go with Lehner personally, but neither choice is wrong.

If you're gonna put in Condra, I seriously have no IDE who you'd take out. The kid line shouldn't be you he's.

Can you translate the last bit ("...shouldn't be you he's")?

Because of the Dalai Lama at TD Place there's no morning skate there. Haven't seen any tweets about a skate at another location. So now updates on lineup changes or starting goalie.

Don't know why that happened. I meant the kid line shouldn't be touched. None of them taken out - Hoffman, lazar or stone.

I agree. I don't think they should you he that line. Give them time to develop as a group and see where it goes.

That's absurd. Of course there's a wrong answer. Since I have Andy but I don't have Lehner in my pool, Andy must start until I can trade for Lehner.

Game is on CityTV and TVA, by the way.

Lehner gets the start tonight. Interesting.
