The Sens just sent Leafs Nation into a spiral of death. Not only do they beat them, exploiting their undisciplined and sloppy play with two power-play goals and one penalty shot goal, they injured their captain for six weeks. That should quiet the whole southern region of Ontario for a while. Ottawa played a great game. Karlsson and Gonchar controlled the PP perfectly. For the first time this year Ottawa's power play looked like it had a real, functional strategy. Not to mention Elliott played a very good game. The 3-2 score doesn't show how well the Sens really played, but a win is a win. One thing that really bothers me is how pathetic video review is. I really want the job of being the guy in Toronto who judges goals (except the fact I'd have to live in Toronto). Although the "goal" Kovalev scored did not count, how could that puck not have been in the net? Just because Giguere's barely legal Michelin Man pads were in the way of the camera, doesn't mean the puck wasn't in the net.
Any way, tonight the Sens are playing the Islanders, so break out the fish stick jokes. If they get a win, it'll be 5 wins out of the last 7. It'll be nice to see John Tavares play live. On behalf of all Ottawans, I'm still thanking JT for what he did in the 2009 WJC. Ells gets the start again, ang look for a big game from Spezza, just because I picked him in my pool and am starting to regret it. Time to fry some fish sticks!
