I'm expecting a loss because of our dogshit schedule.

Maybe Shesty steals one

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

Prediction: Fox gets a power play point early on so I can stop focusing on that and start enjoying the game.

Vegas expects Ottawa to play well in this game it appears. Only +120 on the ML. A little surprised by that.

Rangers should have their big boy pants on in this game. Sens are bad but they follow the lead of Brady Tkachuk, who always plays us hard. He and Trouba have a nice rivalry going too.

 

[Leonardo87]

I feel if they play their game, come out to a good start, should be able to take this. Ottawa is not very good. Just gotta watch out for Timmy!

 

[Blasds]

We have to win. 4:3

Not sure if I prefer the slow start or the "second period doldrums" -- we know we're going to see one or the other.

There is little to complain about with this team. I’m enjoying this season very much. I know some people will get mad at me (will lose some of those nicest poster votes, lol) , but I don’t miss Kakko one bit. Others have stepped up.

Pfff. do you know how many kittens you have to kick to lose my nicest poster vote?

A lot.

 

[will1066]

I don't want to get political, but the Senators suck.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This schedule has really been atrocious. How do the Senators have 7 GAMES IN HAND on four different teams? That should never happen.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Up 2-0 early, win 5-3 with an ENG. Ho hum on to the next one.

I took a break from the GDT against the Sharks because Quick was in net and I saw that coming from a Mile away in regards to his GA given up that game but we won and that's all that matters. we should beat this team but they're pesky and hard working. I can easily see Tkachuk and Stutzle bang in a few early and were playing catch-up all night and then run out of gas due to this brutal schedule. I wouldn't be too pissed off with a classic let down after sweeping the weekend. I really want to win that Kings game coming up.

 

[Larrybiv]

Just seems that we have the "leeway" in the injury dept. Lost Shesty, Quickie took over. We lost Fox, Gus stepped up and covered and still won. Lost Chytil simultaneously, Tro advanced and more than covered.......and STILL winning. Losing KK? Doesn't seem to be bothering them too much, he was least productive out of everyone........and still winning.
Seems losing Panarin and maybe another top guy, well.......that could change things for the worse.
Enjoy the ride boys! I know I am. Coach has answers, we haven't had that in a very long time.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Jimmy Vesey, Nick Bonino, Tyler Pitlick, Erik Gustafsson, Jonny Brodzinski and Blake Wheeler, who account for an aggregate $4.775 million in payroll, have combined for 12 goals, 27 assists and a collective plus-eight.

talk about great production from the bottom 6!

 

[Brutananadilewski]

I'm getting a little tired with the Rangers prairie dogging between 1st and the 2nd league, so just win.

I just want TSN to be forced to put the Rangers #1 in their power rankings... how they are not #1 with a better season record and a better 10 game record than the little princes in LA is beyond me...

TSN NHL Power Ranking: The Edmonton Oilers are back | TSN

Winners of their past four by a combined score of 21-7, the results are finally starting to come for a team that ranks in the top three in expected goal differential yet still has a -5 goal differential.

Hard to miss anyone when nothing matters and we just win no matter what. We didn't miss Fox or Igor. How can anyone be mad at you about not missing Kakko?

I'd still prefer him over Wheeler though.

Our schedule has been brutal. b2bs with travel. 10 games in 16 nights? 3 in 4 with 2 travel days.

I feel like we've been saying that for two weeks and they just keep on winning.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I want to see a big game from Laffy while battling it out with Stutzle.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[duhmetreE]

we expected to lose the Buffalo game, and we did.

3 in 4 nights. This one is worse because we had 2 travel days.

It's a schedule loss. If we win, great. I'm hoping to be happily surprised

Seems a little misleading. Aside from one Wheeler point, all of Brodz/Wheelers points have come in the top 6. I only point it out because the depth/3rd line production is definitely a problem
