Meanwhile, on the ice, the Sens return home after a lengthy road trip and find a familiar face waiting for them at Scotiabank Place. Alex Kovalev, armed with one point in his last eight games, returns to Ottawa tonight for the first time since a deal that shipped him to Pittsburgh last month.
It's hard to say what type of reception Kovalev should expect tonight. While I think it's safe to assume it will be generally unfavourable, I think most fans will be fairly indifferent to his return.
While Kovalev had mostly good things to say after being dealt for a conditional 7th round pick, he was a player that always left fans wanting more. He scored 32 goals in his two and a half seasons with the Sens but was the same enigma he has been for most of his career.
Couple line up changes for the Sens. Derek Smith and Ryan Potulny were demoted yesterday and this morning the club recalled Andre Benoit and Jim O'Brien to to fill the void.
Here is how the forwards are expected to line up (Updated lines from Scott MacArthur of the Team1200.
- Greening-Spezza-Butler
- Foligno-Shannon-Condra
- Smith-Winchester-Neil
- Svatos-O'Brien-Lessard
Craig Anderson gets the start in goal.
He put up good numbers with his short stint in EDM. If we can get him skating like the rest of our call-ups (butler, condra, greening) then he might have a shot at being a decent 3rd line centre
Cheering for a win, expecting a loss, its a good time to be a sens fan.. you cant lose!
Since traded to Pittsburgh Kovalev has played 8 games, 1 goal 0 assists, -1, and 10 PIMs.
I say we match his efforts with our reaction to him returning to SBP. Fans in attendance produce the most creative boo sequence. This happens only once during the game, whenever the fans kind of feel like it. The rest of the games the fans can look to the sky and think about flying.
did you talk to your designer about a favicon yet? the blank file is looking a little lonely atm
Clearly I did not haha. Thanks for the reminder. Where is the one you designed? I can pass that along.
he should just have to place that file in a folder and be done.
Maybe he is simply pacing himself, saving his energy and body for the playoffs .
If he flops in the playoffs, he will be looking for another team to sign him, which may not materialise .
Initial plan was to have him here for the launch but there have been some "delays". Can't really get into the details but I will say as soon as possible!
Lessard can't skate more then 5 year old holding on to the back of a chair... and I really feel for winchester who gives it all every night to only be dragged down by Lessard's play... Why is it not the same with Potulny... try putting another actual skater with Winch and Potulny and see if Potulny can get more chances that way instead of assuming right away that it is Potulny to blame...
Thanks!
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Oh and just wondering, why is it when can't see the +/- rating on our own comments? I mean it kind of defeats the purpose if you can only see the ratings of others.
I'm quite content not being able to see my +/- rating. It's a childish idea that only encouages uniformity of thought. Many posters will, no doubt, tailor their posts so as to obtain a high plus rating. I'd prefer if it were just dropped altogether.
I also think it's amusing that the tyrant is feeling vulnerable when it comes to his ratings appeal.
Hey I will have the Senators @ Penguins at 7.30 pm on:
http://livesens.blogspot.com
Im assuming so that bingo doesnt get stuck with him. We have enough of their good players already. They must really hate us haha
I'll solve the mystery for you, everyone loves your comments. +103 so far.
Actually I was just pointing out that the feature is kind of useless if you don't see your own rating. People are inherently self-interested , or were you one of the weird kids who checked other peoples exam grades before looking at your own?
I don't think anyone is lame enough to edit themselves to obtain approval on an internet message board, I certainly don't. I do however think it would be amusing to see how often people agree with the arrogant and generally mean appraisals I have of other peoples posts.
I mean, How did I get a minus above for stating the shot count after two periods was bad? Its just a fact...
I thought it would be fun, but if you look back at all the comments so far, they're pretty well ALL minuses save for the "GO SENS GO" or "I LOVE THE SENS" or "We had a good game tonight! Hooray!" or "LETS DRAFT A GOOD PLAYER THIS SUMMER!" type of happy thoughtless posts...
Not to mention there's no ratings on the forums, which is where most of the topical debates is going to be happening anyway...
