GAME DAY #59: Hurricanes @ Senators - 7:30 pm - Thursday, Feb 18 2016

Fan:              Here's one-
Sens mgmt:   Ninepence.
Sens team:    (feebly) I'm not dead!
Sens mgmt:   (suprised) What?
Fan:              Nothing!  Here's your ninepence....
Sens team:    I'm not dead!
Sens mgmt:   'Ere!  'E says 'e's not dead!
Fan:              Yes he is.
Sens team:    I'm not!
Sens mgmt:   'E isn't?
Fan:              Well... he will be soon-- he's double-digits out...
Sens team:    I won the last game.

Fan:              So what, you'll be mathematically eliminated in a moment.
Sens mgmt:   I can't take 'im like that!  It's against the CBA!
Sens team:    I don't want to go in the draft lottery....
Fan:              Oh, don't be such a baby.
Sens mgmt:   I can't take 'im....
Sens team:    I feel fine!
Fan:              Well, do us a favor...
Sens mgmt:   I can't!
Fan:                Can you hang around a couple of games?  He won't be long...
Sens mgmt:   No, gotta get to Therrien's, they lost again yesterday.
Fan:              Well, when's your next round?
Sens mgmt:   Thursday.
Sens team:    I think I'll go on a streak....
Fan:              You're not fooling anyone, you know--
                    (to Sens mgmt) Look, isn't there something you can do...?

(they both look around)

Sens team:    Phaneuf fixes the top four!  MacArthur will be back soon!

(Sens mgmt deals the team a swift blow to the head by playing Wiercioch.  The team goes limp.)

Fan:              (throwing the team onto the cart) Ah.  thanks very much.
Sens mgmt:   Not at all.  See you on Draft Day!

Let's keep the streak going and see where it takes us...

I should have said "...by playing Wiercioch alongside a concussed, wrong-handed Borowiecki, while Wideman languishes in the press box". But that would have been a little heavy-handed, I think.

Cussing Carolina. And they're one of the hottest teams in the league right now to boot. Let's do it.

I knew it!

Mark Borowiecki is on the ice this AM. #Sens

Lines expected to remain the same.

Anderson starts.

Boro is the ultimate warrior...just don't mess with a concussion, if that's what it was.

I never saw it except in highlilghts. It looked like as he was going down Saad's stick came up. So I don't think it he was cut from hitting either the boards or the ice. But it did look like he was out cold for a short time. I know that's not what defines a concussion but, still.

Mind you, couple days later he's helping get a car out of the ditch, so who knows.

Nice nod to Monty Python prags! Good one.

Lack to start for the Canes.

Thanks.

I was beginning to wonder if everyone had me in their "Foes" list.

Edit: Talk in the other thread reminded me of Filatov and how that could have been done as the dead parrot sketch:

Murray: I'd like to return this forward that I traded for a few months ago.
Howson: Ah, yes, the, umm, "Flashy Russian". What's, umm, what's wrong with it?

Please tell me he already has a shutout in his career.

EDIT: Oh crap, he already has 2 *this season*.

Lack's been good lately for Carolina. Watch out for some of their young defenceman...and Rask.

Yeah, I figured it was. I'm a Fawlty Towers guy more than Python though.

For whatever reason, we suck against Carolina. Let's lose this game so we can officially become sellers and enter the tanking arena.
