Official Ottawa Senators Thread

[Madferret]

(UPDATE 5:20 PM)- Bryan Murray met with the media this afternoon to address the rumours about Filatov. He confirmed that Filatov is considering a move to the KHL and said he requested that the forward wait until the end of November to make a decision.  Important to note that unless Filatov breaks the contract to leave, this is a decision that rests with the Ottawa Senators.

Not worthy of a media meet for some random career AHLer.  Let him go.

Great start...Michalek!

 

[Sucker Punch]

Up 3-0 after the first.

Feels like the good old days again.

They are playing with some jam again.

4-1 after 2...

Another good example in this game of why I think goalies are given too much freedom outside the crease.

Anderson sets a pick, Hall collides with him, Hall gets a penalty.

Slippery trick by Anderson.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Haha, Edmonton got scored on by Zenon Konopka.  They suck.

 

[Madferret]

First time we've swept Alberta since 2003...<thank you DeBrusk>. Vancouver on Sunday. I like this team.

[quote author=Ibrahim]His face reminded me of the kid in the ally bank commercial after the guy takes away the truck and gives him the cardboard cut-out. Somebody knows what I'm talking about.

LMAO. That is exactly how he looks.

Classic.

 

[maplesyrup]

OMG, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a while. 

 

[Scot4bz]

I have always referred to the kid in that commercial as a young Glen Healy............

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Omg that's freakin' hilarious.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Filatov scored tonight 44 seconds into the game.

I really want him to work.  Aside from the whole KHL rumours fiasco, he says and does all the right things, and seems to respond well to adversity.  His first game after being demoted, he scored 2 goals.  Then after the Russia stuff comes out, he scores early.

Murray's going to give him at least one more chance, I just hope he puts it together.  He's starting to run out of opportunities.

EDIT: Two goals and an assist now.

EDIT2: First star, and was commended for his attitude by coach Kurt Kleinendorst, who can be a bit of a hardass.

My folks think that kid looks like a mini Stephen Harper.

This is a pretty big statement game for me. If they can hang with the Canucks tonight I might start re-considering my original projections for this team this season.
