Say what you want about Leafs and Canadians games, the Senators are the Sabres true arch rival. You can tell these teams hate each other. Since the lockout they have battled to be the top of the East. Both feature offensive lineups and tons of bad blood spilled between the two. Now they meet a few times over the next couple weeks and will show if the Sabres are really up there in the East. They have split the season series one a piece. The Christmas Cheer will be gone once these two face off. The Sabres come in with a 6 game win streak, and the Senators come in 7-1-2 in their last 10, but 2-1-1 in their last 4.
Whats going on with Ottawa.
Well the Sens are tops of the east by a decent amount. Having the season the Sabres did last year, mowing over opponents to start the year then slowly coming back to earth. They are banged up on defense with Volchenkov and Corvo out. Which could be for the Sabres, Volchenkov is one of those steady guys who always shuts you down. But the Sens are always dangerous no matter the night, since they have so many talented guys on their roster. And have settled on Martin Gerber as their man in the net. Since starting out the year 13-1, the Senators have gone 10-7-4 in their last 21 games. This is a team looking to regain their earlier success.
Who does what on Ottawa
This team is led by their big line of Heatley, Spezza and Alfredsson. Who are all in the 40 point range and there is no one on the roster with half as many points as any of these three. Plus The murderer, oooops, sorry Danny Heatley has a +32 on the year, which seems like its wrong. Other then the big 3 the sens have a bunch of muckers and grinders, Mike Fisher can be a good offensive weapon and would love him on the Sabres. Their defense is always stellar with Phillips, Redden, Meszaros and the crew. We all know who is on the Senators. Martin Gerber continues his one great year, followed by crappy year trend. He is playing lights out this year with a .927 sv% and a 2.31 GAA.
Interesting items
Looking through the NHL.com preview. Ryan Miller is 12-3 in his last 15, which is pretty amazing. No wonder Thibault isn't getting up. But on the flip side, 3-9 in his last 12 games against the Sens with even worse numbers. So Ryan needs to play well to overcome his lousy play against the Senators of late. This is not on tv in ottawa, wait what? The Sabres show all their games on TV and the Sens don't? How is that possible? Is it one of those pay per view deals? Nope. Mmm, thats odd. So will there be a lot of Sens fans in the crowd tonight?
enjoy the game!
