Tonights game should be a tight scoring affair. When the Sens are in a middle of a tough stretch like they are now as they are playing 16 games in 28 days(the max. amount of games allowed by the NHL) Jacques has his guys play a very tight defensive game. Add in the fact they have 2 regulars out on D and more importantly Redden who they missed dearly on Mon. against the Stars as it showed in the third, this adds up to a low score tonight, 2-1 or 3-1.
Odd stat that I have been tracking recently with the Sens is that they tend to play a poor game on the road when they are not televised locally. This teams every move is magnified here in Ott as they are the only pro team during this time of year. After Mondays loss to Dallas the call in shows for the next 2 days had everyone hitting the panic button. Last I looked they were tied with 5 min. to go in the third. It was not like they lost 6-2 or something. What I am trying to say is that fans in this city expect the moon with this team. So when they are playing a non-conference game in a late time zone they know people won't be staying up to 1:30am to watch the entire game, therefore they tend to relax and maybe take a night off. With no local TV for this game tonight I see the Sens playing a sloppy game and add in the fact they look like a very tired bunch compared to 10 days ago. The Sens are 1-5-2 when playing on the road and their is no local TV for the game. Their only win coming after they lost 3-2 to Nashville and then pounded TB 6-2. This team has yet to lose 2 in a row for 2 and a half months. Well tonight is the night.
***As well, when Alfredsson was asked on Sat. night by a few of us "were you worried the team would take Buf. lightly tonight knowing you had Dallas on deck?" His reply, "no, actually I am very worried about how we will respond to Anaheim after we play Dallas as many of the guys are going to put everything they got into the Stars game."
I really like Ana. in this spot tonight, everything for me is pointing to an Ott. loss. I know this team has been so resiliant this year but it has to end and tonight could not be a better night for that.
Lalime is the starter and I will post the starter for the Ducks later tonight.
