Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

Brown with a great pass to Gagne but makes a huge save.

Seriously, that goalie's name is impossible. Can't wait to hear Cherry try it.

Gagne is looking good from what I've seen.

Driedger in. O'Connor not on the bench. That dirty Lindberg.

Sens rookies being thoroughly outplayed by the Leafs.

What's the score? Still 1-0?

1-1 Steven Harper just scored.

Nice!

Ugh, Gagne. Not a good play.

Holy cow, we love making dumb plays apparently.

Had to go out, just got back, how did it end?  I see Stephen Harper is making a case for being in the intermission Prime Minister races?

Ottawa Champions are romping all over Rockland 11-3.  Looks like the series will be tied at 2 and is it back to Ottawa for the deciding game?

EDIT: Nope, game 5 would still be in Rockland.

I feel like this isn't the right thread for that post.

Sens lost 2-1. They were badly outshot. Real sloppy game on both sides, but the Leafs got all the chances. 

Bright spots include Chabot (even though his late pinch in the 3on3 lead to the loss) and Englund.

My only bright spots were Driedger, Rupert and Harper. I can't say the "top" guys were all that impressive.

Rupert did well for sure. Driedger made a lot of big saves. When Chabot holds that line, though, he actually reminded me of Karlsson (lite, obvs). Just in terms of his super smooth release and his lateral movement. I was impressed with him. 

Englund looks like a perfect stay at home type. Not super creative with the puck, but he's a great option for a stay at home D.

Sens were badly outplayed, except in goal. Smith was very good for the Leafs all night, so him scoring on OT was deserved. What is it with Sens and how they play in their own end. The Leafs weren't all that good at passing, or else they would have had 45-50 shots. Sens kept giving it away, not hard on the puck when trying to skate it out, not winning the footraces to the loose pucks. Pretty close to awful.

I didn't really get to see the game, Englund was good?

Comes as advertised. Plays a poised game, positionally sound, moves very well.
