They've lost 4 of their last 5.  That means twice they lost two in a row.  So their "rebound" control is a little suspect.

Yeah. I was just kidding.

That said, I *do* expect a hard fight tonight. I think the problem was that Cameron let them have the day (and night) off on Friday. Ste. Catherine Street. Peel. Stanley. I think some of the boys did a little partying. Maybe Cameron was not so much upset at them as he was at himself for letting them off the leash.

Expect a loss tonight.  Kings never lose in Ottawa (at least in recent memory....think they lost in 2010 by some fluke goal that didn't count).  And as Pierre Mcguire always puts it, the losing team that ottawa plays is always 'mad'.  I wonder when the sens will ever get mad.

Dammit, sometimes when I listen to Pierre I just assume he's always right. He said 4 of 5 this morning.

Don't forget the combined number of years since they won in Dallas or Colorado. The law of averages is in our favor.

Shhhhhh! You're jinxing the jinx...which means I just jinxed it further.

And yeah I figured you got that from Pierre, I heard that this morning and was like 'Noooo it's not as bad as 4 of 5!' but then again after tonight, it might be...

He's tiring though. Always says whatever team ottawa plays will be mad. So I just expect losses from here on out unless the opposing team is coming off a win.

Damned parity, it's killing us.

Z smith on the first line. Wtf...
Call up pumpel for diddles sake! Smith has no business on that 1st line, i don't care how you put it.

Pretty sure Puempel played in the Top 6 and that didn't go great. Smith has been solid.

Smith has been solid because he wasnt on the top 6 and had opportunities. Puempel will come through.

Anderson is pretty bad on slap shots

They came out swinging didn't they?

Jared Cowen is pretty terrible. Like, I'd been playing Mark Fraser or a bucket of turds instead of him.

They won despite the lack of game saving trades?!?!?

GOtta think it's close to the end for him right now if he doesn't pick it up before the trade deadline.

That shift in the 1st where Stone made 2 takeaways in a row was 2009 Malkin level of domination

Incroyable!!!!

We got away with this one. Time to work the phones before the next game!

Zibanejad had a beauty, so did Hoff. The third line must produce at some point though outside of Pageau.

Beauty, needed that.

Can cowen be 'old yeller'ed?

Am I wrong to thing that chiasson is painful to watch?

Man. Was i ever wrong but the putcome of this game. Best players were best players. And thats our problem. We have too many guys a,ong for the ride that arent worth it.

Yeah, the entire bottom six aside from Pageau and Smith. Very disappointed in Chiasson, Lazar has been ok, Neil has been ok, but along for the ride sounds about right.
