They are certainly stumbling out of the gate. Good time to hit em hard.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Debating going to this one, just don't know how to handle myself sometimes when losing to rival teams.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Phil Kessel is fat.

 

[Othello*]

It's going to be a back to back game for them.

 

[PatrickEaves]

We lost.

 

[BonkTastic]

On the one hand, I want to beat them so badly that Carlyle gets fired the next day, but on the other hand, I want the Leafs to keep Carlyle as coach for as long as humanly possible, seeing as how he's one of the main reasons they suck.


Damn. Catch 22. I'm legit conflicted now.

 

[Sensfan5]

You guys think that their will be less leaf fans since it's a weekday game, less buses from Toronto maybe? I don't remember the last time we had a week day game vs the leafs. Maybe I'm sounding hopeful, I don't know.

Unfortunately most of the Leaf fans who go to our game aren't traveling from Toronto. We have trailer parks in Ottawa too.

 

[EK]

Having to PVR because of work is always the worst.. specially considering it's the leafs..

Anyways hope we win 8-0...

 

[Six Assets]

Good ol' days when I used to be a leafs fan

good times

 

[Icelevel]

real easy 2 pts

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Damn, no Orr or Fraser

Leafs games were usually good for one or two fights.

 

[King Karlsson]

Better keep Hoffman in to expose Leafs shoddy D

Would be optimal to scratch Neil and put Condra in as well but we all know that's not happening

PLEASE start The Lehner and not Andy. Andy is almost always good for a first 3 minutes goal against from 30 feet out or a horrible angle against the Leafs..

 

[Six Assets]

Ya Andy gets dusted off by the leafs, very frustrating

 

[StefanW]

Yeah, about Andy versus the Leafs. From last season:

And who can forget this one (lots of people, apparently):

[Altimus]

\i just hope we can suck the wind out of the fans' sails early and watch them twist in the wind. Go Sens Go.

i certainly didn't forget that 2011 game. one of my favorite senators games

Yup, that was amazing. Quite the debut for Andy.

Those two wins comprise the majority of his victories against Toronto during the entire 3 and a half years he's been here.

He has been crap against them.

I've seen more than enough games from Andy against the Leafs to know that those are outliers

 

[StefanW]

.500 against them most seasons. The interesting case was two years ago, when he had a fantastic year stats-wise. That year he was 0-2 against them.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Andy has been terrific to start the season but by the love of God almighty please play Lehner.

Stefan, I unno how u can defend Anderson vs Leafs without showing some bias of your intentions against Lehner. It's bright as day he struggles hard against them. A game 3 years ago isn't good evidence otherwise.

 

[Quo]

Yeah, not seeing how it’s 'plain as day.' Hook me up RKL. Not convinced.

 

[King Karlsson]

Just checked his game logs (since he was traded to OTT)

W/L, SV%, GAA

W, 1.000, 0
L, .867, 4.10
L, .875, 5.00
W, .949, 2.00
W, .939, 2.00

W, 1.000, 0
L, .857, 5.02
L, .903, 2.78
L, .905, 3.69

TOTAL:

4-8 record, .906 sv%, 3.05 GAA

Remove the 2 shutouts and you get:

2-8, 0.887 sv%, 3.66 GAA

Those are some god awful numbers. Even with the 2 shutouts they are not starter worthy numbers.
