Woo!!! Very excited for this game!

Lineup isn't looking that great, I think the Sens have a real challenge on there hands, especially the line going up against Phaeuf and Kaberle. We will definitely get to see where our prospects are made of though.

AndrePetersson · 09-21-2010, 10:00 AM

Yay hockey!

MatthewT · 09-21-2010, 10:02 AM

i hope theres a stream

Mika Silfverberg · 09-21-2010, 10:05 AM

this is going to be... interesting, to say the least.

Tuna99 · 09-21-2010, 10:06 AM

Toronto will want to goon it up early so it'll be good to see how our younger flufier guys like Lee, Wick and Butler handle the physical play.
It'll also be good to see how guys like Cowen and Foligno will step up and take a ldership role in the physical department.

Go Sens.

I'm excited to see what Wick can do, and see if Butler and Hoffman can continue their strong play from the rookie tourny.

Butler-Hoffman-Wick would be an interesting line.

DuckedUpOnQuack · 09-21-2010, 10:07 AM

Lineups are quite humorous.

Now that I think about it, not much difference other than Toronto's top 3F and top 2D

No Gryba or Weir

That D looks horrible.

Senschirp Says Lehner is scheduled to play the whole game - I'm a bit surprised

This should be fun to watch though. What a random lineup

Clouston said it this morning.

Mike Brodeur was suppose to get half the game but he has the flu or something.

Clouston himself said he was going to do half games until the third game yesterday on the TEAM.

EDIT: NVM. I think I have that flu bug too. I'm at home sick today...

dmarc · 09-21-2010, 10:18 AM

HA ha apparently 10 other players were brought up to Toronto, I wonder who?

Hope this is streamed cause Ill be in class in a computer lab

Hope we win but not holding my breath for one with that line up

Glad hockey is inching closer

Afro Thunder* · 09-21-2010, 10:19 AM

Yeah Lehner would get the entire game.

Quote:

TORONTO - Robin Lehner will play the entire game in goal Tuesday night for the Senators against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.

Goalie Mike Brodeur has a case of "either food poisoning or the flu", according to Ottawa coach Cory Clouston.

The illness was revealed this morning as the Senators hit the ice for their game-day skate.

Tonight's game will be broadcast on both SportsNet Ontario and the Team 1200. Puck drop is 7 p.m.

Ottawasun.com will update this story as more details become available.

FolignoQuantumLeap · 09-21-2010, 10:27 AM

I want to see Hoffman-Locke-Butler as a line. They could very well be Bingo's top line. Maybe Foligno-Smith-Wick together as well. That could potentially be our fourth line at some point.

The defense is the most interesting part. These are essentially all the guys fighting for that vacant spot besides Gryba. Look for all of them to try and impress.
