Another shootout loss.

I actually like shootouts. I hated ties w/ a passion.

I am not saying I like ties WTE, I would rather there be 3 on 3 hockey after 4 on 4. It is hockey not a skills competition.
Settle the game with a winner. Someone has to score.

would there be a home run derby after 4 innings of an extra inning game?

I want to see the game, not who is better at a skill.

I am going to the Sens vs. Hawks game tonight to represent the Canadian Forces at the game. Should be fun, I'll be on the ice for the pre-game

Enjoy the game. That is an excellent matchup. The Sens have surprised me this year. I think Spezza being healthy has shown that he is still a very good offensive player when not dinged up.

** is there any way you can get us a picture? Will this game be on HNIC? Oh I forgot the Maple Leafs are always on. They seem to be the NHL Network home Sat team and they suck.**

sorry I didn't see this post before the game and I didn't take photos because it wasn't my first game there.
It was probably the most humbling experience of my life. I knew I was going there for a "reward" for working hard and the military was given tickets from a season ticket holder. What I didn't know was at the 14min mark of the 3rd period the mascot for the Sens and a PR lady showed up at my seat and said stand up and waive. They had my name and record of service on the jumbotron and I got a standing ovation from 18,000 people. I almost fell over. I wish I would have got photos of this!!!! They told me is was 20 seconds after it was done, but it felt like forever, in a great way. I never joined the military so people would thank me, but this was really special.

I think it was a TV timeout.

great, so I got to see a telus commercial instead!!

What an aggravating game last night in Det. The Canes were up 4-1 only to puke it away. Oh well, that is why they suck.

I hope a high pick can infuse some more needed talent.

Staal, Skinner and Ward are the only real good players they have.

I love Sutter as well but he is a 3rd liner at best.

Mediocre defense. Oh well...........Cant wait for the playoffs to see the drama. I will root for Boston but also I hope St Louis who has sucked for years
does well.

The Maple Leafs are bad. Easiest shutout of Wards career. At least the Canes are playing hard. I like their spunk. Next year hopefully they are better.

They are not a joke like some other teams in the league.
