Official Ottawa Senators Thread

That elbow Alfie took was awful. Hard to believe Zonopka got 5 and a game for a rub-out and Wolski only get 2 for head hunting.

5 straight!
 
Sens roar back on Rangers
By Bruce Garrioch
Ottawa Sun

NEW YORK - The Senators watched helplessly as captain Daniel Alfredsson had to be helped off the ice Saturday afternoon.

Then, they got their revenge against the Rangers.

The Cardiac Kids pulled off a Madison Square Miracle with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden, erasing a three-goal third-period deficit and then getting the winner from Milan Michalek in the shootout.

They were forced to do it without Alfredsson, who took a vicious shot to the head from Wojtek Wolski at 12:09 of the third.

That?s when the Senators turned the comeback into high gear and went on to victory.

?You don?t like seeing hits like that,? said centre Jason Spezza. ?I didn?t get a good, good look at it, but you don?t like to see your captain laying on the ice like that. You?re obviously worried, you want to make sure he?s safe and then you want to make sure you make them pay for the penalty.?

Boy, did the Senators ever make them pay....MORE

PLUS

    The Senators are going to find out exactly where they stand during this stretch of games. After hosting the Leafs, they travel to Boston to face the Bruins Tuesday ... There were concerns about D David Rundblad during training camp, but he has stepped up to be one of the club?s best blueliners in the last two weeks ... Expect to see G Craig Anderson make the start against the Leafs. There is no sense in taking him out at this time, especially against a division rival.

MINUS

    The much-improved Leafs scored a 6-5 victory over the Senators on Oct. 8 in the second game of the season at the Air Canada Centre. Ottawa allowed two power play goals in that game ... The Leafs have C Tim Connolly, the club?s big free-agent signing in the off-season, back from a shouder injury. He wasn?t there to start the year. He played 12:32 in his first game vs. New York and recorded no shots ... LW Clarke MacArthur scored his first of the season vs. the Rangers.

INJURIES

    LEAFS: RW Colby Armstrong (ankle); G James Reimer (head).
    SENS: D Matt Carkner (knee); C Peter Regin (shoulder).

ONLINE EXTRA

    NO REIMER: G James Reimer is doubtful for Sunday against the Senators for the ?whiplash? the Leafs won?t call a concussion. If he?s brought off IR, he?ll back up and Ben Scrivens will be returned to the Marlies. The only other possible change for Sunday could be Jay Rosehill and Orr to counter Chris Neil, Zenon Konopka and Zack Smith.

    THIS' N? THAT: The Leafs went into Saturday night?s game vs. the Penguins with six victories. It?s the first time since Oct., 2007, the Leafs have recorded six wins in October. The club has not won seven in the first month of the season since the lockout ended ... According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Phil Kessel?s seven goals in Toronto?s first-five games of the season was the most by a Maple Leaf since Sweeney Schriner scored eight goals in the Leafs? first-five games in 1944-45.

It was not a pretty looking hit, and Filatov's been recalled.  I think Alfie may be riding the press box for a while.

Excellent.

You're a class act Fanatic.

I take and I receive but you never hear me wishing injuries on any Leaf players.

True - its a game and while we are all passionate fans of our team, we get no kicks from seeing anyone getting hurt. (I also think the whole booing Alfie thing is annoying).

Even Sens fans have some morals  ;)

Eh, speak for yourself. There are players I'm fine with seeing get hurt.
 
my reaction to the news that Alfie might not be playing tonight was also along the lines of "excellent" or "awesome"..... but it's not because he is injured, rather that he won't be playing in a game against my Leafs, which is a good thing because the Ratbass always manages to score against or otherwise play pretty well against my guys. If you follow that.....
