GAME DAY: Ottawa @ Tampa Bay , 7:00PM, Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Karlsson with four points in the last two games, now 6 points off a PPG pace.

I got that once, reloaded and it was fine.

I think it may be my Dung hotel internet connection more than anything...

Nasty spill there, by Karlsson. Hope he's only bruised.

Karlsson and St. Louis are going at it.

Just before the break on that whistle, St. Louis gave Karlsson a slew foot Should have been a penalty, but no call.

Yeah cause nobody except a diver would fall after being tripped with a leg sweep.

Turris gets a penalty shot!

Spezza ripping it up, scores another goal, now has 9 points in 4 games.

Butler with another assist (Michalek, too).

2-0 Calgary already, half way through the first. Wow, that didn't take long.

So nice of Tampa to give Spezza the hattrick.

But really, that was scary. Looks like the Sens were trying harder to give Spezza the ENG for the Hatty than they were trying to secure the shutout for Anderson

Hattrick for Spezza, compliments of Boucher, who pulls the goalie down 0-3 with under 2 to go.

Shutout Anderson!

About the only "scary" part was Alfie playing with the puck right in front of the crease. I couldn't tell if he was trying to give it to Spezza, but I immediately thought of Anderson's pending shutout.

Finally, a shutout for Andy.

Very nice! Ride this into tomorrow.

Cheap bastards.

First time in a long time that I wasn't able to catch the whole game. I saw the second half of the 1st period, and the start of the 2nd, and it appeared like T-Bay was outplaying us during that stretch.

was really on his game, and it's nice to see Michalek/Spezza/Butler continue to build momentum. Next order of business, get Turris/The Alfie going! This was a huge win, especially with Toronto losing.

Note On that one good chance that Turris and Aflie had, where Alfie tried to bat a puck out of the air, I don't think it would have lead to a goal even if he connected, cause Garon was in position.

But those two are having a hard time connecting lately, and Turris, as nice of a shot he has, can't hit the net. Sound familiar? Mike Fisher anyone

I may be in the minority here, but that had to be one of the luckiest shutouts the sens have gotten. I thought they were thoroughly outplayed for the first 2 periods. Tampa botched some plays, and didn't bury the golden opportunities presented to them (some foiled by anderson, some just shot wide). Sens broke down defensively a lot, felt like a very sloppy game.

Good for anderson to get the shutout, he needed this. I thought he was shaky at first (see how horribly out-of-position he was on Stamkos in the first period; got lucky stamkos hit the side of the net) but settled down and was solid the rest of the way. Just gotta stay in his net and stop flopping like a fish out of the water

Heh. Yeah, saw the highlights this morning... Anderson was waaaaay out on that one. Got lucky for sure.

I thought Turris was excellent. Gave TB fits all night and took some focus off Spezza.

I think Turris is good most games, but I also see him starting to lose stamina

He probably needs more bulk.

By that logic, Dustin Penner has the most stamina in the league.

We need to get that guy so he can share his bulkifying strategies with our under-bulked youngsters.

We could call up Lehner to fill the resident fat-man role. Or maybe consult boo-boo.

I think it's gonna happen and it'll be noticeable. Like Cowen, like Z.Smith (who might be even more destroyed than Cowen right now), Greening still churns those tree trunks of his, but I think he's a little tired too. Condra is less noticeable as well, although he seems to still have 'game'.

I think...nay, hope, that we saw the hitting-of-the-brick-walls in that 7 game losing streak and now they'll bounce back, but I worry about Turris...

A big long break after tonight may help. This is where our relatively light schedule from here on out may really give us an edge.

Pretty ironic when you consider that the schedule was designed to take us out of contention in the first half.

Hard to say. He worked hard when he wasn't playing, that much is obvious right now, but can that last before he gets worn down? Hopefully not...
