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

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.

For me the feed was horrible. Guess I should've locked out the kids' devices from the wifi. I tried watching but there was no full-screen option and the motion was very jerky. I missed the third completely because I had to go out.

Honestly, I think there's enough interest in these things for Rogers to televise it on one of their SNet channels. They already had cameras there for streaming it on the Leafs website, plus announcers, and 1200 had it on so they had someone over there. Just a matter of some licensing, I think.

I watched on my Android box. No issues. The feed I got was through a reddit link.

Is today's game on TSN? I saw a tweet saying the pre-game would be on at 3 on TSN.

TSN radio.

CFRA maybe.

Stephen Harper with another goal Sens getting outshot again. Driedger stopped 19 of 20 last night and all 20 so far today.

Awesome. I hope he keeps trending up. It's nice to see that we have three legit G prospects working their way through the system in Driedger, O'Connor, and Hogberg. I'm not sure if Daccord is legit yet, but hopefully we actually have four. 

Is Brassard still in the Sens system? I remember something about him not signing or not getting a contract. Anyone remember? I can't find it online.

Driedger ended up with a 43-save shutout. So that's 62 saves on 63 shots for a .984 SV% in this tournament so far. Yet his NHL SV% is still better

What time do they play today?

4-2 in the third period now

Perron just scored his second, both set up by Chabot.  Chabot also set up Nick Paul.

Sorry, that was in the second period. Second period just ended, score is 4-3.

Oh ok. Go perron and it's about time we scored some goals

#Sens sign 28 year-old G Bryan Pitton to back up Chris Dreidger this afternoon. Matt O'Connor was injured Friday, called "minor."

Guess O'Connor's injury is a little worse than they said initially said (was expected to play today). Although this tweet said he'd be backing up Driedger he was in the starting lineup and I think he's still in the game.

Paul scores his second of the game.

EDIT: Chabot had another assist on the goal. I believe that makes it 5-2 Baby Sens

5-3, actually, the baby Habs scored a late one in the 2nd.

And Gagne makes it 6-3 (Paul with his second assist).

So Paul has 2+2, Perron has 2 goals and Chabot with 4 assists.
