Sure is quiet in Sens land...
Back to back shutouts. That's gotta hurt...
When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

(Please note, my accusations above are a direct attempt at generating a "defamation of character" lawsuit so that he offers me a settlement of a billion dollars.)
Tonight's game reinforced my opinion that the SENATORS are the best team in the league. Sure, a bit of tweaking here and there is needed before the team becomes a dynasty, but realistically it's better than waiting 37+ years for a one-shot playoff run.
I'm proud of the effort our guys put forth tonight, and am confident that Ottawa takes game 4 by a WIDE margin.
Cheers, congrats to Leafs fans (no matter how much or how little of a jackass you might be).

The Sens cannot be faulted for the way they played tonight and fortunately for Toronto, Brodueur continues to be the difference. The team could have folded after Lalime let in the softie near the end, but continued to pepper the TO net.
Without Brodeur Toronto is toast, but with him, Alfredsson could be ready to play the Royal Ottawa GC before its ready to open.
Anyone know the whereabouts of the referees whistles that were lost during the second intermission?

BTW, speaking of whiners, where was Spezza last night? You'd think he could score all the goals himself after his tantrum before game #1. :shakeWhen applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

I know it's hard Toronto fans, but try to think before speaking every once in a while....
As for your comments about Spezza, what fabricated tantrum are you talking about? I actually deal with team officials as a media person, so please enlighten me....

Secondly, not sure about the whistles. Seems to me that even the linesmen were screwing up offsides and stuff in the second and third periods. Don't even get me started on the unpredictable penalty calling. Both teams had tons of bad calls, but more really bad non-calls.
Not a great series so far, but not bad. Not as passionate as I expected...

Hey Broken,
As far a Spezza goes, I believe that it was after the morning skate on the day of game 1 when he found out that he was going to be a "healthy scratch". His little hissy fit by pouting and tearing off his equipment within eye-shot of the media is definitely a calculated stab at Jacques Martin and I can guarantee that was the reason he sat out game 2 as well. He's becoming a prima-donna on a team of hard working guys. I wouldn't be surprised to see Martin scratch him for Game 4.
Everyone knows that it's goaltending that wins championships. That's why they're almost always given the Conn Smythe. Lalime has been very good but Belfour has been better, and he's one of those goalies that gets better the more work he gets.
BTW, I'm a little surprised that Smolinski didn't take one for the team on the Sundin goal. It wasn't a clean breakaway so the worst he could have gotten was a holding penalty. Instead, he backed off.When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

As far as what you're calling a hissy fit, I can tell you that I'd rather Spezza be disappointed at being told he isn't going to play. If he wasn't upset, that's a very bad sign. Calling it "pouting" or whatever is fine, but it doesn't instantly make him a prima donna.
The reason he sat for game 2 is because the Senators put up a fairly convincing win in game 1. Even Jacques Martin knows that the playoffs isn't the time for stupid personal vendettas.
As for coach Martin, I believe he's losing his team's trust. To keep Spezza out of the lineup when he was 4th on the team in scoring and a +22 (not much of a defensive liability if you ask me) and instead play that no-talent hack Todd White? What kind of moronic coaching decision is that?
Goaltending alone can't win a championship, as evidenced by the fact that the netminder can't score, therefore can't win a game by himself. I've given nothing but credit to Belfour. He's played over his head. Lalime's back to allowing at least one softie per game, which is okay when your team scores, but the Sens aren't.
The one thing to keep an eye out for with regards to Belfour: He tends to have a couple astounding games then blows up for a game. If this happens (namely Sens pump him for 4 or more in game 4), advantage Ottawa again.
Smolinski did the right thing to an extent. I agree that in this case it would have been good to take the penalty, but that's only because we know how it turned out (softie on Lalime). I'm sure "Smoke" was thinking he could slow Sundin down enough to make him shoot from a distance, assuming Lalime would stop it. OOPS!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if Prusek sees some action. Starting him in game 4 couldn't possibly hurt the Sens. They need someone who'll make a big save every once in a while without trading off by allowing softies.

Even Leaf Lovers like Cherry and MacLean admit that the Leafs have been outplayed and Belfour is the only reason they've won. What game were you watching?[COLOR=green][B]Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of bagpipes.[/B][/COLOR]

But for game 4 i have a real good feeling for Ottawa and that we are gonna beat Belfour more than once this game.

BTW LobWedge its funny how you jumped on the low blow about Belfour... which it was. Seeing as your coach continually deflects attention by saying totally ridiculous statements... e.g. bringing up Hossa/Berard incident from 4 years ago. And tonight blaming his loss on the refs.. even trhough both teams were 1-7 on the PP.
And as far as the Team 1200... I could care less. They ARE brutal... especially Dandy and Buzz... I can't believe those 2 have their own Radio show.

Well, big game by Ottawa again, and this time we got the breaks. Belfour was still pretty good, but definitely came back to Earth tonight. For once, I actually agreed with something Don Cherry said. When he talked about shots from the middle. Although Ottawa wasn't shooting from the middle, they had guys parked in front, and long point shots were beating him.
Almost too bad Tucker didn't take that one in the face. But we'll take the goal.
Should be interesting the rest of the way. The Leafs are playing some pretty disciplined hockey for most of the time, and I'll agree that the officials have been less than stellar (both ways), and perhaps it's been more untimely for Toronto. But such is life, and arguably I could say the same thing with regards to Ottawa.
Good series, still saying Senators in 6. Losing Sundin couldn't possibly help Toronto, and who knows what is wrong with Nieuwendyk...

How bout antropov out there (Drop-off, as my good friend don cherry would call him). That guy has spent more time in the penalty box than he has on the ice. I think he's Ottawa's most valuable player - just hope he keeps it up.

Man, what a nailbiter of a game tonight! We finally came through when it counted most!
