The Sens Winning Streak Momentum Meter

The SWSMM. Put your own thoughts on it in here or simply comment/rip apart my version.

Game 1 - Snail speed - What you didn't want to go for six straight losses?

Game 2 - Giant Tortoise speed - Moses Alfie is BACK! Which Brodeur do we have again?

Game 3 - Mouse speed - Oh no Brodeur is sick? Oh wait...never mind. Did I say Alfie is BACK! holy crap he's back!

Game 4 - Kangaroo speed - Is Brodeur healthy yet? Don't worry about it Elliott is hot diddly ot!!

Game 5 - Mongolian Wild A$S speed - I just wanted to use that animal in a thread. What 5 game losing streak? Alfie gets jobbed on the NHL stars of the week.

Game 6 - Coyote speed - Is Elliott ridiculous or just awesome. The debate rages on. Oh and Spezza is back!

Game 7 - Quarter horse speed - NHL sees this and gives Elliott NHL 1st star of the week.

Game 8 - Cheetah speed - Cup Champs Shmup Champs. See Kermit.

Game 9 - Peregrine falcon speed - Hey Refs? See Kermit. The Hockey Gods like us now. Can Fisher score anymore OT winners!!

Game 10 - Bullet train speed - This ain't no TGV it's the Sens. OH no you tied it up did ya? Holy Swedish meatballs! Karlsson? Can you get better than this? See Kermit. Did I say Moses Alfie was back! And Spezza? Ahh yeah he's back diddly ack. Some guy Pascale something is back too but whatever.

Game 11 - Ballistic Missile speed - Holy ridiculous-ness batman. Alfie was in on every goal? The Elliott debate continues - Ridiculous or Awesome. Don't forget to have your say on this!

Should be interesting adding Game #11 should we continue this streak of course.

The game itself, in isolation, I'd agree with that but this is an overall momentum meter so it builds on the previous games. It's not an in game meter it's more of an after the fact measurement of the momentum that the Sens have built up.

A repost of the updated Alfie and the Ten Commandments:

Nice work Dash. I had it up on the main page for a little while before I posted the GDT link on up there.

Cool. Just added Buffalo, added a shadow to "Alfies" hand, centred the fonts and gave them an etched look.

Alfie looks like a young Chuck Heston in that pic. Not sure why.

I think you'll run out of speeds. Next one or the one after that will have to be tachyons, and that's FTL.

True.

Wait, that's only 9. Who's missing? You've got Montreal there twice but Boston only once. We also beat them after St. Loo.

oops... will fix.

EDIT: Replaced the image in above post with the new one with the 10 team names. Should remove "strong attention to detail" from my resume.

Very cool.

How is it coming with the Last Supper. Heatley can be Judas.

Added to the momentum meter.

I present to you: L'Ultima Sena:

The Alfie reminds me of a young Jeebus in that picture, for some reason.

Thanks for that Dash, as good as I expected it to be.

I think if we win tomorrow night I'm going to have to start another one of these momentum meters.

There's always the Warp drive speed which is good for up to 10 isn't it? For the next streak of course.

I would also add that if we did knock off the Caps on our way to a clean sweep before the break that Murray needs to reward this team with an impact player. Not just try to get one but actually do it.

Basically Murray will need to send the message to this team that he believes they can go deep and here's the piece that proves I believe it.

Do big trades at the deadline actually work ? I thought most such deals do little to improve a team.

If Murray trades away the farm for an impact player who does little impact, then we're SOL.

I doubt he'll trade away the farm. Besides, a 35 - 45 pt. LW is not exactly star calibre but it would make a huge impact on this team.
