PrintOttawa Senators at Calgary Flames, Mar 11, 2010 6:30 PM PST
The first line finally appears to be a collection worthy of the name. As Kent noted when he posted the scoring chances, Bourque, Stajan and Iginla held their own against Pavel Datsyuk's line. That's not to be sneezed at, since that trio for the Wings is a difficult proposition to manage under normal circumstances, so kudos. They had Detroit's best on the run in the third, and that smart bit of coaching by Sutter to get them on the ice out of rotation caught the Wings, with Bourque's goal resulting from an over-matched Darren Helm being stuck in a situation he couldn't handle. Plenty of people picked up on that moment as a game key, and it surely was an obvious one.
The thing that no one is talking about is the manner that Daymond Langkow and his mates rendered Henrik Zetterberg's line largely impotent. The other star Detroit center was +2/-5 in terms of EV scoring chances, with most of his ice time matched against the Flames' second unit. Langkow and the hard-luck Christopher Higgins each scored as well, so it was a night well spent by that trio. As I mentioned Tuesday, Langkow and that line might not throw big scoring numbers around, but they do seem to have the appearance of a group that can suppress the offence of the opposition's skill players.
The Flames' bottom end got in on that act, allowing almost nothing at all to Detroit's lower orders. Craig Conroy did have a couple of absolutely egregious passes to the opposition, but that was mixed in with a night of general goodness, and Niklas Hagman looked like he should against bottom-sixers, as in a notch above them.
The defence managed as well, with the dominance of the forwards permitting them a pretty comfortable third period. Steve Staios has been, er , high event, at least to this point. One can only hope that it's just over-exuberance in his new surroundings. He and Jay Bouwmeester saw the Datsyuk line quite a bit, which allowed Regehr and White to boss their minutes efficiently. Those two guys can likely play second minutes well enough, so maybe it's Firewagon Steve and JB against the toughs, at least for now.
Miikka Kiprusoff was good through two periods, and well-rested in the third, so he'll go tonight. His fine save off Holmstrom to start the third left the Flames in range, and they rewarded the Finn by keeping the puck at the other end of the rink thereafter. I'm not sure when Toskala goes again. The B2B coming up would normally be a good spot, but against Vancouver and Detroit? Hmm.
The Senators had the measure of Calgary a month ago, winning 3-2 on a Jason Spezza goal late in the second. Ottawa was in the midst of a lengthy run at that time, although they've returned to earth a bit since, and they were certainly hindered by a nasty bug that left them in such a bad way that they couldn't even beat the Maple Leafs over the weekend. They were good enough to beat the AHL types up Highway 2 on Tuesday 4-1, so it does appear they're getting over the flu. The Sens weren't ready to go to the playoffs unbolstered, adding Matt Cullen and Andy Sutton to their line-up, and the Cullen move does give them proper depth down the middle with Spezza, Fisher and Kelly joining the ex-Cane in a nice set of four. They'll miss Filip Kuba, who is out day to day on the backline, but even if he was healthy, Anton Volchenkov and Chris Phillips would likely match with the Iginla line. Brian Elliot will start in goal.
The Sens appear to run P v P, which suggests that Matt Stajan will need to be solid again, but with last change I do wonder if Langkow might not get that job this evening, leaving Iggy's line to go against Mike Fisher. The Senators have out-shot their opposition fairly handily 5 v 5 this season, so the fact that they don't out-score them is likely down to meh goaltending. Elliot is sporting a .907 EVSV%. He does seem to stop pucks on the PK, and Ottawa has benefited from that to post a good PK%. Their PP is the part of the game where Kuba's absence will show most, with the Sens near the bottom of the league by percentage. One final note I'd make is that Ottawa has built their good overall record on the back of smacking teams at Scotiabank Place. They've done as well away as the Flames have done at home, so it should be a match of equals in that regard, I suppose. The game in Kanata was one where the Flames appeared to run out of energy and ideas as it progressed, so if Tuesday is really the new normal, that shouldn't be an issue tonight.
Game time is 7:30 MT on Sportsnet West.

Have a good feeling about tonight’s game but the Flames can’t get a way from what they have done the last three games.
1. Get shots at the net, There is no such thing as a bad shot on goal. Brian Elliott can be shaky if he’s busy.
2. Stay out of the Penalty Box even if the Sens PP is operating at 16% (26th)
3. 12-18-17 Have been hot 7G, 11A in the 3 Game winning streak – This must continue.
4. Get the crowd into the game.
Lineup stays unchanged. Over under on how many times Mayers drops the gloves with Neil. I’ll set the bar at 2.
What you see is, What you get.
GO FLAMES GO!!!
Minnesota is in shambles. Now we need San Jose to help us out later on tonight.
What you see is, What you get.
GO FLAMES GO!!!
No doubt. the Sharks don’t scare me much, but we need the sixth seed to ensure we avoid Chicago.

Sens fans remind me of childish Leafs fans. Not in a bad way, mind you, they are trying to have fun like Leaf fans do, but were banging on the glass during warm up and begging for pucks… Adults! Lol.

Well, to think, Ottawa fans were all Toronto fans prior to 1991 or whenever it was the Sens came to be. We all know how retarded Leafs fans are- just browse through the PPP forums and your IQ will drop by about 20 points. Now consider a Sens fan- they are like the retarded younger brother of Leaf Nation. It isn’t a pretty picture to say the least.

No rush. The flames can’t find a pane of glass that fist the spot Spezza broke. At least ten more minutes to puck drop.

As someone who lives in Ottawa
I can give you the general fan stylings in Ottawa. The average Ottawa fan:
-Tends to leave games early, regardless of how close it is, winning or losing… or even tied.
-Are a very reserved home crowd, which is partialyl due to this being a government town first.
-Are very fairweather… i.e. if they win 3 in a row they are going to the cup, they lose a couple in a row and they suck and want to burn the team to the ground.
-They have become decently competent fans of the game itself, though they are still not quite there at the level of the more experienced fans.
-They HATE the Leafs yet seem to be moderate on the Canadiens… very odd how that works.
Do you think they leave early because of where the building is? When I was driving through Ottawa last summer, I couldn’t believe how long it took me to get from the arena into city centre!
As for hating the Leafs but not the Canadiens, that seems to be true wherever you go. The Leafs are universally hated, and the Canadiens are, in my experience, universally respected.
The location for the building is not the worst part
That abomination of a parking lot is the worst part. It is bad, and definitely plays a large part in the leave early mentality. Still, I live on the south side of Ottawa and I can get out of the game and home in 20-30 minutes, so it is not that bad that they need to have a 25-50% exodus with 5-10 minutes left (some nights)..
Sounds like Canucks fans. The Sens have an inferiority complex because they don’t have a ‘true rivalry’ with the Leafs-Habs. Nucks are the same, as they can never measure up to the Battle of Alberta. Nobody tends to take the Nucks and Sens too seriously in the grand scheme of things

The Leafs vs Sens rivalry
it was red-hot pre-lockout, but Leafs have been too bad for it to truly matter the left half dozen years. Sens-Sabres are the biggest rivalry they have right now from what I can see, and then Philly is the second biggest rival.
Good feed here: http://www.justin.tv/vip__tv#r=a0RzDFg~
Sweet
I get to watch a Flames game on TV tonight, and I don’t mind Dean Brown, so this should be a win-win.
So I don't have to watch the feed
is my point (for once).
Backlund a scratch again. You aren’t going to play the f**king kid, send him back down for Christ sake.

Steinberg has a note on the Backlund thing over at FN:
I had it explained to me today, it makes a litle more sense. Once the deadline passes, you get just 4 recalls. Once you use those up, you can only make emergency recalls, which are apparently tough to get. So, the Flames don’t want to send him down, call him in a week and waste a recall.
So, I guess sort of makes sense.
Still doesn’t make sense to me.
Even if they wanted to trade Boyd, I’m sure they knew that right after the Olympics. They could have left him down and saved that second recall until they actually needed him, which might be never if the team stays healthy.Post-facto justification, IMO.

Holy crap! Toskala looks aces in his Flames cap. And will through all four rounds of the playoffs, as Staios leads the way.
New game – count how many times Charlie Simmer mentions “feet moving” in every broadcast. Maybe donate a nickle for each instance to whatever disaster is fashionable at the end of the season.
CGY -18, -11 in the period. Blocked 23 shots at EV. Like I said, Avalanche-esque.
EV shots 29-22 OTT, 17-7 in the third.
Win’s a win, I guess. I can only hope that it was just a short term case of the blahs.
I only saw portions of the second half, but I’ve always believed that good teams win games that they don’t deserve. Usually because good teams have good goalies, but they also have to have groups that can come up with “timely” scoring, and it was a little more forward depth that did it for them tonight.
Like the two in the first couple minutes and that beautiful crossbar. Haunting stuff. Then again, that’s exactly what the Flames had been doing for a month straight prior to the Olympics.

I think Calgary has a chance at the cup, and it’s all because of Ian White. Reason being, his moustache is the most epic I can remember on a Flame since Lanny McDonald, and we all know what happened with Lanny.
We better re-sign White then.. because Lanny’s moustache didn’t pay off for the flames until his final year in the NHL…
8 years in fact…
damn those long term contracts other teams were signing dudes to suddenly make sense.
can bourque grow a moustache ? we all know gio could.
by walkinvisible on Mar 11, 2010 9:54 PM PST up reply actions
Gio can’t technically grow a moustache, because the rest of his face will not allow any of his facial hairs to be longer than the others. Were he to shave with the intent to keep a moustache, his cheeks and chin would destroy any razor that touched them.

Definitely. I’m just saying, he is the key. And perhaps his moustache will work at a greater pace than Lanny’s, as the entity that is The Calgary Flames is now aware of the power held within such facial hair.

Guys, a little restraint should be in order here. There is no reason to start planning Stanley Cup parades. I understand that White has impressed everyone with his moustache, but remember that Maple Leaf fans all anticipated White’s facial hair alone would exorcise the demons of 1967 in Toronto. After reading the comments involving ‘moustaches’ and ‘recs,’ we must realize that if this pace keeps up, we will be no better than PPP and the legions of arrogant, undereducated Toronto blog commenters. Until White’s moustache grows considerably bushier in which it will actually be comparable to Lanny’s, there is no reason to get too excited.
by Rod Blogojevich on Mar 11, 2010 10:40 PM PST via mobile reply actions
No no… it’s the modern era, no one will ever reach the moustache of Lanny in the modern era, in the same way that no one will ever achieve the offensive accomplishments of Wayne.
In the modern era, a moustache explosion attracts too much attention, and pretty soon style consultants and bar women are coming out of the woodwork, putting extra pressure on the player to trim / cut / etc. Thus no moustache will ever grow to be a Lanny in the modern era.
