Just curious. What is Andersons record against the Leafs?

9-5-3 as a Senator. In fact, his first game played with us was a 47-save shutout against the leafs in 2011.

Thanks.

 

[Langdon Alger]

but how can we win a series against them if we don't play them in the playoffs

I'll be happy if we never have to play them in the playoffs for as long as I live.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I'm in this boat.

You gotta beat the best to be the best so I don't care who we match up with. Let's just make the playoffs and take it from there

This.

If the guys in the room don't want to meet a certain team or division, then we've lost before the series even starts.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I'd go with Condon, then Andy, only cause Andy hasn't played much games in his return

 

[Sens Rule]

I agree. I think it's lame to hope we win 2nd in the division just so we don't have to play a metropolitan team. We actually have a decent record against that division. Besides, beyond the leafs, i want revenge on the rangers for 2012. Still can't believe we let that one get away.

Also I think it'd be pretty sweet to win our first division title since 2006.

Agreed. And in a 30 team league with 4 divisions winning a division is pretty huge.

11 games over .500 now. Lets be 20 games plus over by 82 games and fave who we face. 1st or 2nd in division we still are better off then anyone in the Pacific in matchups.

We are not even locks for the playoffs. But now you just should want to win as much as possible and take any playoff spot possible. Especially 1st in division.

 

[Hellraising Senator]

Team just needs to focus on being the best they can. Night in and night out. Standings sort themselves out.

We have a good club with a bright future. It is fun being a fan again.

Personally I am starting Anderson tonight and Condon tomorrow. Not that it matters what I personally would do. Just as some have said. A divisional game. Anderson needs to get in the tough games now to be prepared for the playoff push and playoffs. This is a good litmus test game.

As far as who we play in the playoffs. Irrelevent. Regardless to win real hardware we are going to have to face the elite. Go hard or go home. The best learning experiences are the toughest. Winning the division and facing NYR is my ideal situation for the team. Gives us best chance at real growth in long term.

Tonight though, just win boys!

 

[Rooverick*]

As long as we don't play Toronto in the playoffs I'll be happy.

I won't believe we can win series against them until I see it happen with my own eyes.

Hope we win every game we play and finish first in the division.

If i did have the chance to hand pick an opponent it would be the Leafs. Their style is not suited for the playoffs and they have ZERO experience, except for one of the biggest choke jobs in NHL history for the few players who have been to post season.

The added bonus is that we'd settle a portion of the score and hopefully silence Sens fans of your ilk.

Meh, not really sure i agree here .At the end of the day they are all hockey players,them being young with no pressure may be in fact a blessing for them

 

[chipsens]

Beat the Buds. Push em down in the standings so Sabres & Panthers can overtake them. Go Sens! Line-up? Is Claesson in?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Saturday night, HNIC, Leafs. I'm not confident

 

[Back in Black]

I can't wait to finally beat them in the Playoffs, and tonight would be good start!


10 1/2 hours to go!

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Wonderingly if I should go to this one....

 

[Altimus]

What a wonderful problem. Do you play the goalie with 5 shutouts or the one with 4.

 

[Icelevel]

guaranteed win.

all your chips

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Wonderingly if I should go to this one....

The answer is yes.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Wonderingly if I should go to this one....

I'll be there I'll be the guy wearing 2 chains getting kicked out.

While this may be true mathematically, do you really think we're going to miss?

I don't want to jinx it or anything but something would have to go terrible wrong.

 

[starling]

So Marner is out. That's good.

 

[scallionjj11]

So Marner is out. That's good.

Thats great news!

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

$300 for a pair in section 321, hmmmm.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

$300 for a pair in section 321, hmmmm.

That's insane. I'm lucky we get tickets at face value for the Leafs. Still $100. But they are the first row of the upper bowl. So they are decent seats
