A 5-3 win against Wild. The sens came back 3 goals down in the first period to win this one.
This is always how good the sens have looked when the big 3 are getting their points. They were involved in 4 out of 5 goals. So we moved one spot ahead on number 12. Well, this 4 game streak will win something if they make it 6 or 7. Otherwise, the hole is just too deep to get out of. Good to see that Auld was able to perform when he was called upon. Ottawa had 2 short handed goals in a game to quote people from team 1200 it is a statistical anomaly.We should be happy that we had it but there is nothing more that we can read from it.
Brendan Bell has been playing well for Ottawa he is a good defenceman but he is not consistent. At his salary he was a steal for us. I am certain, if he plays a full season he will get over 30 points, more if the team is having a good year.
Also, leaves won 6-2 vs Pens, today. It is time that we all realize that leaves actually have a better team then they give themselves credit for. For them it all beings in the defence. They have an excellent pmd in Kabarle and 3 solid defencemen in Finger, Frogren and Schenn.
Even though the numbers might not suggest so, Toskala is a genuine number 1 goalie and comes up good more times than not. Their supposed lack of talent up front is compensated by a bunch of player vying for existence in Leafland and NHL. If they can get a 2 genuine top 6 forwards they will be as good as any other team. That thought is scary at best.
In the meanwhile Green has become the first defenceman in a very long time to get goals in 8 straight games. Also, Jason Blake's play has really improved this year. He had a career high 9 points in January and continues to score goals. He is a tenacious, persistent winger and I would be happy to see him in
Ottawa if Leafland don't want him.
