THE GOING IS TOUGH, WILL WE GET GOING

The whole locker room will be wanting to redeem their selves for Thursdays loss, but we couldn’t have been matched up against a worse opponent to do it against. The Ottawa Senators, top in the Eastern Conference, barely got dropped by our boys on Tuesday night in Montreal. Now we’re facing them in Ottawa, with a significantly stronger line-up unless Heatley went on another joy ride and too Spezza with him. I know…I know…that was dark. But that’s just the kind of mood I’m in this morning.

Huet will have to come out big, we’ll have to play a sound defensive game, special units have to perform, Kovalev’s line has to keep doing what they do best (so far we can do all of this) and one other line (Smokes or Koivu) has to chip in 2 goals. That’s the key to victory tonight.
