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

Lightning will be playing their third game in 5 nights tomorrow night. The Sens have been off since Tuesday. Slight advantage to the Sens, I suppose. But Tampa was blanked 4-0 by Colorado, at home, so that can't be sitting well with Stammer and the boys. This doesn't look well for the Sens. Maybe they'll bring back Lyndon to fire up the crowd.

How many times have we had the "advantage" due to being rested vs. "tired" teams and shat the bed? A couple hundred or so?

Advantage: Guy Boucher coached them 1,000 years ago.
Advantage: Ottawa must know Ben Bishop's weakness

Disadvantage: Tampa knows Boucher's system
Disadvantage: Bishop has a chip on his shoulder and wants to beat Ottawa

Guy Boucher means business

Boucher has a chip out of his cheek too old friend.

That he does. Point I am making is that there is an argument for and against every advantage/disadvantage.

Ottawa being rested could mean they start off slow. Tampa playing 3 games in 5 nights could mean they're legs are under them.

Boucher can't yell at them too much though.   There's a fine line as we've seen many times in the past.

Exactly zero times. This season. Under the new management.

I don't think Bishop has anything but praise for Ottawa. They traded him to a great team i a much better climate.

And everyone's legs are under them. This isn't sledge hockey.

Lazar scored the tying goal in the third for the B-Sens tonight with Dorion watching. BSens lost 3-2 in the shootout.

Does anyone have the line ups for tonight? I'm seeing some funky line-ups on the daily line up site.

There are a couple interesting changes on lines 3 and 4. Check the GDT.

Rick Westhead says on Twitter that after one of Mac's concussions, he needed toothpicks to keep his eyes open. Wow.

Pretty sure that comment was regarding his previous concussion. I remember reading about this last season. The tweet in question:

@fastrunner2b @TSNSimmer After one of MacArthur's concussions, he needed toothpicks to keep his eyes open. Abundance of caution is needed.

What does that even mean

I'm sure it means that concussions are overblown and no big deal.

Varone on waivers to go to Bingo.

Clearly it impacted him deeply and he's done living life
