But at some point a goalie has to steal a game, they have been bailed out by the offense (and Potulny) so far. I couldn't catch this game so I'm not sure how did Lehner looked, but a huge performance from one of the goalies is needed at some point. Hopefully, it can be next game to force game 7. Or maybe Greening, Condra and O'Brien could wake up offensively
Lehner was ok, gotta give the kid a break, hasn't played in a while and it showed on a couple of goals but he looked alright..I mentioned if he would grab a win for us tonight then ride him out for the series..also avator was changed..someone asked if I would, so ck..
If we get one d man and Locke back for Fri night's tilt I'll feel better..
Is Potulny an AHLer for life, or does he have potential to make the big club? He is definitely rocking the playoffs
Potulny has played an entire season in the NHL before. He's probably going to have a career as a tweener, with a couple mostly NHL seasons in his prime years. Not good enough to play this kind of game in the NHL, but good enough to chip in, especially on a poor team.

W/ the Murray's in town watching him produce the way he is let's hope they offer him a 2-way next season..

I kinda hope we don't.
Despite what I said, I don't want him on Ottawa but I do want him to get a chance with an NHL club. I hope he signs for someone like NYI or Florida and gets a chance to play.
clarify: I think that all Potulny will ever be is a tweener, and that there is no point wasting ice time developing him. I say NYI or Florida because they both suck and sign players like him all the time - for financial reasons as much as anything. He'd be more likely to have success on a team like Tampa - somewhat similar to what a guy like Bergenheim was able to do (though their games are not the same at all) - where he can fill a role on the team that showcases his goalscoring ability. Maybe he could try out as another Crosby winger.

I agree..the guy is a great team mate and could fit in w/ the teams you suggest, but being selfish would love him here, and I only think that would work is w/ a 2 way..
Also, last night's game someone shouted out to Murray "re-sign Barry" and Murray raised his arm to respond/support..
Ok just got home from work...i can definitely do game 6 on Friday as i'm off work. Tomorrow before I leave for work at 11 am I'll set up the game to stream so you're welcome to see a ghetto replay. Sorry for the confusion - didn't realize Sens were back-to-backing it.
