The Ottawa Senators take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotia Bank Place on Saturday March 6th CBC(HD), NHLN-US(HD) 7 PM Eastern





cn_alf5.jpg Neither of these teams are winning over new fans since the Olympic break. Could it be due to a lack of Gold medals in the dressing rooms or simply a lack of hard work. One thing I know is it's time to see if the Senators have what it takes to finish on top of their division. Cause if they can't beat the Leafs they may as well get out the Golf Clubs now and save me buying expensive playoff tickets.

Ottawa-Senators-Toronto-Maple-Leafs.jpg It won’t come down to Daniel Alfredsson or Dion Phaneuf. It won’t matter if Orr takes down Carkner or even if Neil fights with Phaneuf it will come down to who scores the first and wining goal. This team has to gel as a unit again and now is the time. Mike Fisher best get your head off of Underwoods Pillow and back into the Game. Alfie sorry no medals but there is a big cup at the top of the playoff mountain and it is within your reach. Everyone of you guys on the blue liner owe your goalies a second chance. Play with your heads on swivels and strong on your feet. Forwards drive that net with your heads held high and for heaven sakes shoot the puck Spezza.

God only knows who will start in net for the Senators all I can say is glad I am not the one is Cory's shoes. Maybe have to call on Brodeur


Flex

You should put the game description (time, etc.) in the topic, just to make it more sorted.

You should maybe let a man finish his work before criticizing him and looking like a fool or at the very least read the entire page.

I think Goalie was just trying to help you since he probably knows its the 1st one you do

maybe I jumped the gun but it was there not in red at the time but it was the first line

Gustavsson starts!


Gustavsson's first start, Daniel Alfredsson, in Toronto, penalty shot, Burke standing, and Alfie scores a SICK goal. And the sequence leading up to the penalty shot and the goal itself was pretty funny because Alfie is one of the league's most underrated players, while Schenn and Gustavsson are some pretty overrated players.

Great job Flexpack

Thank you much appreciated ....

Easy killer, he was just trying to help you...

Nice GDT

gustavsson and leclaire to start?

Well, Gustavsson is confirmed already...

I was thinking that maybe its time to bring Brodeur in to put the train back on track...

Brodeur started our last streak when Elliott was sick, let's see him do it again!

I have a feeling this is going to be a very high scoring game...

From TSN Ice Chips:



Several Ottawa players are battling the flu, so the team may call up a few players for Saturday's game against Toronto. Head Coach Cory Clouston wouldn't announce his starting goalie.

Two teams! One rivalry! Zero goaltending! It's the Battle of Ontario, tonight on CBC!

Down Goes Brown

Let's dress A-Train in goalie equipment I'm sure he'd find a way to do a great job at blocking shots...

LMFAO it's so true.

And have Sutton play in front to block all the other shots

Early word is that they may just try Leclaire in goal again tonight...
