As the scoreboard counted down the final minute, it was looking like an ugly loss for the Sens. A couple weak goals got by Anderson and the Blue Jackets looked poised to pick up their first win of the season. After a late penalty to David Rundblad, some fans made an early exit thinking this one was done.
Those fans must be kicking themselves this morning.
With just 36 second to play, Spezza found a loose puck out front of Mason and ignited the Saturday night crowd. And just 31 seconds later, a perfect deflection from Milan Michalek off a well placed shot from Gonchar sent SBP into an all out frenzy.
With the win, the Sens are now 3-5-0 on the season.
Another strong game from Sergei Gonchar on Saturday. Really liked his game against the Jets on Thursday night and he continued his strong play against Columbus. Gonchar had a couple points in this one and was strong defensively in his 22 minutes of ice time.
Obviously a strong game from Spezza too as he picked up three points. Spezza has 11 points in 8 games so far this season.
It wasn't exactly the most entertaining opening 40 minutes but certainly worth the price of admission in the final twenty. This one will definitely go down as one of the best regular season games I have ever been to.
- Special thanks go out to the good folks at Wiser's. Had a chance to sit in the Wiserhood box last night (explains my late post-game blog today) which made the game that much more enjoyable. Be sure to stop by their Facebook page and join the Wiserhood!
- Trade talk is heating up across the NHL. Was told last night that Bryan Murray is still looking to move a defenceman but is in no hurry to get something done. There are a couple of teams that are looking to add blueliners.
Gonchar and Alfredsson to Detroit for 1st and 2nd rnd picks(do it much closer to trade deadline to reduce the cap hit.
With Detroit haveing roughly 6million of cap space they could afford what would be about a 3million cap hit at trade deadline.
I think their roster would greatly benefit from another veteran powerplay QB and a veteran winger to go along with their other veteran swedes. They would really fill out their top 9 forwards and top 6 D.
I know trading Alfie would be tough but a 1st and 2nd would be huge assets
Thoughts?
know the old Yogi Berra quote "it's not over,till it's
over "
Great poise by Sens to push it to limit !!
Rockin Robert
foligno and lee should do it
Should have put Filatov in the line up try his hardest against them.
but other than that, extremely good win tonight!, good effort by spezza and michalek. lets keep this win streak going
Are you absolutely brainless? Ottawa fans would hate trading Alfie. Plus Gonchar?!?!?!?! ? I would never trade Alfie unless we get some crazy deal and also we aren't trying to benefit the red wings "they need a QB ..." and a first rounder and 2nd BM would be fired if he did that.
although I do not like this trade saying Ottawa fans would hate algiers is rediculous
Exactly what makes you believe that this would occur? Are you absolutely brainless?
P.S. On my NHL 12 BAP mode, My team just traded Filip Kuba for Nugent-Hopkins. ... I believe "LOL" is in order
Overall I think our coaching staff is pretty epic now. Best in the league!
yeah but sometimes that is a mistake because this might just be a hot streak from Kuba. I know we shouldn't use Brian Burke as a role model ( especially when he was on the leafs )for the sens general manager but he did the same thing with Matt Stajan and now Stajan is not on a hot streak and they traded him at the prime time. Maybe thats what the sens should do.
Based on that, I propose the following trade...
Kuba and a fourth to MTL for Kostitsyn and a second to OTT.
Yes we are divisional rivals but Montreal is desperete and we
are re-building. Both players are UFA's after this season so this really can't bite either team in the a$$.
Montreal get's a vet dman that they desperatly need and we get a stop gap top 6 player once Zbad goes back to Sweden this week. Also, we improve our draft position which is line with the current re-build.
Win, win situation here!
i sure hope so. the up coming game in the 25th in carolina would be zibanejad's 9th game. while in bingo, they are off till the 28th (5 days off ) filatov is pretty much wasting time there right now. i assume they will wait till after zibanejad's 9th game? even tho filatov doesnt affect zibanejad since they play differnt positions. or maybe we plan to put da costa down in bingo and bring up filatov?
Highlights for me started with the girl singing the anthems, wow for 12 years old, struggled a bit on the Canadian Anthem but knocked the American one out of the building.
When you can hear the fans on TV loud you know its off the hook in the building.
I wish I was there also, nothing like being there.
I love Alfie but I honestly think trading him would be ideal. I know he's important in the locker room but getting a 1st would be huge. This years draft is going to be one of the best in quite a while. Even if its a 25th pick it would bring us a real solid player. And that's if we wouldn't move up with it.its just not worth keeping Alfie around just because he's Alfie. You have to look at him as an asset and an asset that's about to retire. So the best thing to do is use that asset to get more valueble assets instead of just waving goodbye
Also I'm wondering what the team is going to do with Michalek. Because he's an awesome player just entering his prime. If we decide to keep him and build around him and Spezza great but if not...now may be a good time to trade him for something big
I use Bell and they're not so bad but Distributel is awful. Static on the phone phone doesn't ring more than once and I wouldn't even say they gave us internet.
Last night here in Winnipeg, CBC showed the Jets in Standard Def only, and the Leafs in High Def only.
And the Sens were nowhere to be found.
CBC is making it really hard to like them.
Thank god for TSN.
I called yesterday. Lame excuse that the nhl doen not give them authorization to show the game in HD.
what does fu mean
CBC is insane. You know they once were talking about newborn babies getting down-syndrome and they say "this couple is worried about they're children getting down-sydrome" and they show a woman lesbian couple. Why do you have to show lesbians?
as for gonchar and alfie to detroit for a couple picks, that will never happen. not only will it put us about 8 million under the cap but it would put detroit way over. they wouldn't be able to keep the extra 10 million of their combined contracts next season. not to mention a first and 2nd rounder for those two is underselling them big time
Seems to me like the AHL has been good for Filatov, certainly didn't hurt Spezza's development.
He really didnt dominate the A when he was in the Columbus system but he seems to be doing it now. he'll be back up soon enough hopefully with further refinement in his game.
I'm pretty sure Ottawa has handled him with care during this entire process and they are on the same page with where he fits on the big club.
He is an elite offensive propect and I'm excited to see him play again too!

Are you saying there are male lesbian couples?Your post is the most messed up incoherent disaster I've ever seen! Worse than anything SF19 has ever posted! What the he'll are you talking about?
He has 4 points in 5 AHL games, 3 of which came in his first game. I'd hardly say he's "dominating" at that level.
Glad you are now back on track !!
Rockin Robert
Kuba as well. Sometimes people need to know they're doing a lousy job.
I almost made a Gaddafi joke after that last sentence, but maybe it's still "too soon"
A) they are driving the net
B) they aren't giving up
Thank you Mr. Stache, you will provide some entertaining hockey down the road!
Also, glad to see the Sens are fixing their problems... if we can shore up the goaltending a little, we should be set!
Heatley has 2 goals and 5 points in 8 games. He has really started to fall off the map, and isn't a UFA until 2014.
In retrospect, maybe just getting out from that brutal contract was worth the trade.
Love seeing Heatley fail... and we have two players in the top 10 in points!!!!
Let's keep it going!!! GO SENS GO!
reading gonchar's comments post-game, looks like he has really upped the ante over the past two games and maybe that one game off he was watching vids of his first few games and realized. he is a highly skilled offensive defensemen and the sens will only do much more better as long as he plays to his strengths.
great to see the players' celebration on the winning goal. alfie looked 10 years younger, spezza and michalek looked like brand new rookies.
Says they guy who can't even manage a simple "quote" in his own post.
The format doesn't work well with an IPhone dumbass. Maybe you could concentrate on the ridiculous content that I was commenting on. Thanks for your two cents though.
Alfie looks like he's more healthy than he has been in the past two seasons. I've really missed the jump and drive in his game (which he's shown in the past two or three games). Let him take off next game - even if he wants to play.
Michalek is also flying out there! He's so quick on the puck and is so strong - he reminds me of Hossa. Keep it up Michalek!
