Eeeeee. Cutting it pretty close there, SensChirp.
If only there was someone around to occasionally remind me about the start time of Sens games. Anyway, the Ottawa Senators do indeed play tonight and unlike a week ago, the entire franchise is no longer entirely doomed.
They have won two consecutive hockey games. And in the words of Lou Brown, “we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it’s called “two in a row”. And if we win again tomorrow, it’s called a winning streak…It has happened before. So lets show some hustle, lets jack it up”
Boy I hope at least one person appreciates that reference. Anyway, the Ottawa Senators host the New York Rangers in like an hour.
Lineup here…
Tkachuk-Stützle-Batherson
DeBrincat-Pinto-Giroux
Motte-Brassard-Joseph
Kelly-Kastelic-Watson
Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Hamonic
Holden-Brannstrom
Basic information surrounded by a desperate attempt at humour here…
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM at The Tire. The game is available on Sportsnet, which means we’ll get regular updates on how this game impacts the Toronto Maple Leafs. TSN1200 has the radio call and Bort is serving up the illegal internet streams.
