Pre-Game Talk: SENS in La Belle Province (Habsville), Tuesday 7 pm

THIS will be the game where Stu runs over Gallagher and then tunes him up in a fight.

Stu can then whine to the media about Gallagher being a diver for lying on the ice after getting slapped around by Jimmy.
 
You remember the difference McGrattan’s entry/KO of Dummy Tie Domi made in turning the story around where Ottawa went from Jacques Martin’s “Turn the other cheek” Sens. The Leafs stopped taking liberties after years of physically beating up the Sens without retribution.

It’s a matter of philosophy, what you say it true but why be subjected to that penalty in the first place, if it means deterring potential injuries to star players as that can totally flip the script on the Sens postseason dream?

Anyway we are splitting hairs, Green loves him his HGH. So if Xhekaj or Paz takes an unnecessary run at a Sen it would be up to our captain once again to handle (and he shouldn’t so close to the playoffs and risk injuries).

Spending this much time worrying about a third pairing defenceman is a distraction.

We won what, 9 games in a row, with him in the lineup for a lot of them?

Focus on winning the game.

You’re not wrong, but Xhekaj openly said he was coming after Brady, who didn’t play last game. Would be nice to have someone lower in the lineup send him to the dentist with a handful of teeth.

Habs might be a nuisance if they sneak into the playoffs and go on a 2010-like Halak run. Let's put a fork into them the next two times we play them!
Hopefully, the Senators are ready to play at the start of the game, avoid taking penalties, hustle for 60 minutes, and play a solid defensive game without the puck. Last game, they shit the bed allowing almost 50 shots against. Would be nice to see them hit the Smurfs too.
 
I actually see the Sens beating the shit out of the Smurfs, they weren’t pleased with their last match up. The Habs are getting Ole ole oil of olayed their ass, Go Sens GO!!
Hitting the Smurfs is what I want to see; however, we do not have a very physical team and many of the players we have are soft, particularly on defence.

Who would that be? I see no-one!

If I were the coach, I would use Gilbert as the 7th D/12th F to insert some muscle into the game.

I don't believe they have mentioned what is bothering him.

He hasn't practiced in a while, but had been playing games. I assume whatever has been bothering him got to the point of him missing the Leafs game.

If time off means he can be healthy for the playoffs, I hope they give him the time he needs.
Tkachuk may need the same treatment.
 
Just missing 4-2 W over Taranta, but you get the picture.....

Looking through the Habs board pre game thread and it appears they have a real problem getting close to properly spelling "Ridly Greig".

They generally get the "R" sound correct on the first name, but then it could be anything after that. The last name just tends to be something that rhymes/possibly soundslike "Greig". You would think a crew with a player named Xhekaj could at least get close.

At least one is assuring the rest of the board that they don't care about fans calling their logo a toilet seat because it's really a "C" and so everyone is just making fun of a letter in the alphabet.

Going to be a barn burner tomorrow.

To be fair. His name breaks a lot of spelling rules.

Jokes on them, "C" is easily the dumbest letter in the alphabet! Look! Almost an "O"! As in, "O crap! Our logo looks like a toilet seat!!" Try saying that with a "C"!

Biggest game of the season. Got embarrassed by the Habs on home ice just a couple weeks ago... this is where we see if we've actually turned the corner. 'Good teams' know how to crank it out.

I agree the hell with Xhekaj is a nobody. Let's focus on stop their tope line of Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky and win the damn game.

I unfortunately had to spend a Sunday afternoon driving around Gatineau a couple of weeks back and it was like visiting the Land of OZ. Everything ass-backwards. Amazing how much can change by simply crossing a river.

Why is every street a highway? Why are there highway-splits every 100 feet? Just a weird, weird place over there.
