Most important game of the season, IMO.

Two years ago, a loss against the Hawks on the road at this point in the season started our downward spiral. Can't have a repeat tonight.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

My prediction for tonight:

6-3 win. Gaudette with two goals, Bath goal and assist.

 

[Senscore]

Praying the boys don't get distracted by The Bear shooting location bus tour

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Let's hope this goes better than the last time we had a must-win game against them.

 

[armani]

Chicago is on a 2-game winning streak, against Anaheim Lame Ducks and LA Burger Kings.

I expect a beat downtown of those Chitown Clowns in their barn, with Norris scoring and potentially Batherson breaking his drought.

Go Sens Go!

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

We win and we are back in playoff spot.

Winning this game is utterly critical for multiple reasons.

 

[Tuna99]

Guaranteed win, want to see where Ullmark is at, need to get out of the 1st with very minimum a lead but preferably a shutout

Huge road game

 

[Big Muddy]

So, Kleven is not in I guess.

The Senators better win this. There better not be any sleep walking in the 1st period.

 

[Alex1234]

Need the first goal
Extremely important for this group

 

[Ouroboros]

Since 2001 the Senators have only won twice in Chicago.

2-9-3 over that span.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

go sens go

 

[lang006]

Don’t want to hear Chelsea Dagger at all tonight. Not even once. No messing around. That is the message needing to be sent to the room

So I made a comment on Facebook on a post made by the NHL and Travis hamonic liked it my comment... Must be scrolling after his pre game nap.

Maybe a sens player can like this post too.

Let's get that W and beat back the Hawks to the basement where they belong

Your brush with greatness

Your brush with greatness

Actually hilarious. Colin Blackwell(stars) liked it too. Do people fake being non star(pun intended) players?

 

[2CHAINZ]

Team better be pre-game jelqing before this one.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Team better be pre-game jelqing before this one.

Proud to say that I had never heard of the word jelqing before reading this.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Team better be pre-game jelqing before this one.

Why ever stop?

 

[2CHAINZ]

So your entire life you have been hanging weights from your junk and didn't know what it was called?

 

[Back in Black]

3 hours to gO

 

[Dionysus]

Hope they start fast.

Stutzle and Sandy are carrying the team at the moment, need then to keep it up.

 

[Back in Black]

My prediction for tonight:

6-3 win. Gaudette with two goals, Bath goal and assist.

6-3 win for who? You have 3 SENS goals predicted

Kleven is week to week, so we won't see him for a bit.
