​

It's been a while since these two saw each other as the season is winding down to a close as we head toward playoffs. The Senators, though not eliminated yet won't be a part of the playoff picture this season as they sit 12 points back of Washington for the final Wild Card spot with just nine games remaining. However, they have been playing some of their best hockey of late, acting as the spoiler to a number of teams along a five-game win streak. ​

PROJECTED LINEUP

Joseph - Stutzle - Giroux
Crookshank - Greig - Kubalik

[L'Aveuglette]

Considering our record on Western road trips(literally no wins), my guess is this current streak is about to come to a screeching halt.

 

[Tuna99]

Brady has had some unreal only talent from god type of touches around the net. Last couple of games he’s had some beautiful finishes His feel and touch around the blue paint is about elite as I’ve ever seen

On a cup contender he'd be considered a god by now.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

I predict "No Winn in Minn!"

 

[chipsens]

Release the Kleven!

This team is..unbeatable!

 

[Tuna99]

On a cup contender he'd be considered a god by now.

It’s a shame he hasn’t seen playoff hockey yet. This guy is built to be a playoff star

 

[chipsens]

Who is taller? Branny or Spurgeon? I would have Branny watching tape of Spurgy
(Too bad, Spurgeon has been injured since Jan)

 

[chipsens]

Batherson is big...but not hard. I would like to see him erase somebody...it would push him into another level. Skill ++ playoff-ready

 

[StoicSensFan]

Batherson is big...but not hard. I would like to see him erase somebody...it would push him into another level. Skill ++ playoff-ready

He was playing that way pre-Dell, hope he gets back to it.. seems close.

 

[chipsens]

Which Sens will head off to the World Championships after season ends?!

Korpi - Finland
Batherson - Canada
Brady, Sandy - USA

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Since Martin he’s been way more physical. No more reach with his stick. Driving through players with his body when he wants the puck. Makes such a massive difference

 

[OD99]

Which Sens will head off to the World Championships after season ends?!

Korpi - Finland
Batherson - Canada
Brady, Sandy - USA

Don't think Bath is eligible due to the WJ sexual assault case.

 

[Micklebot]

Don't think Bath is eligible due to the WJ sexual assault case.

This is true, they suspended all member of the team until their investigation and it's appeal is done. So unless that got wrapped up since this past Feb, he's still ineligible

 

[Tuna99]

Which Sens will head off to the World Championships after season ends?!

Korpi - Finland
Batherson - Canada
Brady, Sandy - USA

I’d say Joseph and maybe JBD

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

He showed a glimpse of something pretty impressive before that Dell injury - well beyond the solid 2nd line winger he has been for most of career.

He's had a tough couple of years since then & I know it was a short period but it was so far above the level he's shown since that I hold onto hope that he still has another gear in him.

 

[Back in Black]

#dropthepuck!

 

[JungleBeat]

He was playing that way pre-Dell, hope he gets back to it.. seems close.

That was near two years ago and he wasn’t even that injured…

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Love that hug at the end

 

[Relapsing]

Well well well.

Can we continue some late season strong play?

Or will we make sure there's no way possible we can make the playoffs (lol) tonight.

 

[Alex1234]

Brady with the back check of his season

 

[Micklebot]

Good 4th line shift

 

[Relapsing]

f***. 11 players on the wild who were born after the 90's.

I'm with you Mike. Thats... Yep.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Kleven with a good start to game 3

 

[Micklebot]

Nice recovery by Stü
