1/25 - Bruins @ The Ottawa Mausoleum

[PedroSpecialK]

Let's see if the third-worst team in hockey by points percentage can outdraw the Thursday night crowd at the Blandford Recreation Centre.

Reminder that Dion Phaneuf is the third-leading defenseman on Ottawa by ES TOI, and has a 43.7% CF% - fellow Senator Codias Ceci sits at 43.5% CF%, with the pair closing in on worst possession driving defensemen in the league (currently in a dead heat with Andy Greene and the decaying corpse of Kevin Bieksa).


Anything less than a blowout will be a disappointment.

Bjork up on an emergency basis. Acciari didn’t practice yesterday and is dealing with a LBI.

Bjork - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Spooner
Heinen - Nash - Backes
Schaller - Kuraly - Vatrano

That’s my guess if Acciari can’t go.

 

[kenneycb]

Let’s not let up the first goal for the 7th straight game tonight mmkay?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Kuraly got massively held in front of the ref with no call

 

[McDrew]

Need to point out something good that Kuraly did. Right before the icing there (13:40 left), the B's were bunched on the strong side blue line, and instead of passing to a close teammate, he put it to the weak side corner behind the goalie where no one was. That let the B's get in better position to contend, and caused the icing.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Chris Neil lookin trim

 

[PedroSpecialK]

How doesn’t Boucher get fired when he keeps rolling out Phaneuf with Ceci? That may have been the most unforced errors by a d pair in a sequence we’ve seen this year

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Lol after some of the shit in ottawa’s zone they call that garbage on Vatrano

 

[cshea]

15 shots in less than 10 minutes, call a penalty when the Sens touch the puck for the first time.

 

[Salem's Lot]

1:30 with possession in Ottawa's end and you mean to tell me they didn't do anything illegal? We must really suck. Then they call that half slash.

They somehow made it to within a goal of the Stanley Cup Finals doing this.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Bad change, worse luck. Miller’s gotta be better there

 

[PedroSpecialK]

And obligatory FFS mcquaid

 

[TheRealness]

Of course he scores on Rask. Of fucking course.

 

[cshea]

Not sure there was any contact there.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Missed interference on Borowiecki

 

[Salem's Lot]

Bad night for the stripes tonight. Too much looking forward to the all star break I think.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

HEINEN

 

[cshea]

HEINEN

 

[Salem's Lot]

Heinen!

 

[Jordu]

Oh, Heinen!

 

[Salem's Lot]

They could've called slashing three different fucking times on Phaneuf.

 

[The Napkin]

Maybe pasta should go back to the candy cane tape job

 

[PedroSpecialK]

EAT SHIT OTTAWA

 

[cshea]

Onside?

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Onside?

Not called off, not reviewed, so yes, onside.

 

[Jordu]

SCHALLER. Sweet pass be Bergeron.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Ah shit

 

[Salem's Lot]

So even lol.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Vatrano may not be long for the organization after tonight.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Miguel Condon is awful

 

[Salem's Lot]

DeBrusk!

 

[cshea]

JAKE

 

[FelixMantilla]

I'll take it!

 

[Salem's Lot]

Shit goal but I'll take it.

 

[Jordu]

Heinen, Schaller, and DeBrusk. I love it.

 

[cshea]

Zboril and a 1st for Karlsson. Get it done, Don.

 

[Salem's Lot]

That's a slash? These fucking cunts.

 

[cshea]

Woof

 

[Jordu]

Says Brickley: “Oh come on.”

 

[Jordu]

What a streak. What a first half.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

It goes on

 

[cshea]

101 points gained under Cassidy since he took over.

They have played 73 games.

I only saw the third tonight (fucking night shift), but god damn this post makes me giddy.

 

[TFP]

They’re 20 points clear of a playoff spot with a game in hand. I think we can start to breathe easy.
