On another note, I think it was a good 2 points gained in the Van/Cal games. Sens didn't play particularly well against 2 of the top home teams and came away with 2 points out of 4. Spezza will sit out tonights game (and perhaps more) as he is nursing a sore hip flexor. I felt that while not playing that well the Sens could have maybe held on to beat Calgary, but they were visably tired in the third period. Anyway, these are just the types of test that they need to get under their belts to work out the kinks come spring. With Col, Dal then Tor in the next few days, it's going to be a real test of how this team will fare in the playoffs.
