Ottawa Topples Champs, Pynch Enjoys Broadcast

Great game, from what I saw... Unfortunately I was only able to catch it from the last 5 mins of the 2nd. From what I saw and what I'm reading this morning, Ottawa looked good and certainly picked up their pace from a sluggish game vs the bads on Tuesday.

Scoring! Hooray! While I was hoping Spezz would get one, I was happy to see Kels finally plug one in and Cheech get his second. I think I'll feel relief everytime #41 lights the lamp this year. I find myself really pulling for him to succeed.

Of course, special shoutouts to Philly on two grapes his 800th game and the Watermelon Warrior who clinched the century mark. Well done!

A great home game can allow us to really enjoy the start of this weekend, especially for those who get a free lunch today!

On a side note, does anyone know who was calling the game on TSN2? It was the Pittsburgh feed and I really enjoyed it. First off, it was nice to listen to an American broadcast that didn't need to explain offsides and icing. But, what I really liked is that these guys weren't homers. They praised Alfie's skating, recognized Spezza's funk (along with his talent) and really celebrated Big Rig's big night. Aside from the pronunciation of "Pee-card", I enjoyed their call.

Another huge test on Saturday against the division leading Slugs. Do you think we can actually achieve a sellout?

I too really enjoyed the game and the broadcast team. The Pee-Card thing was funny, but the rest of the play-by-play and analysis was top notch. How the heck can we get CBC brass to watch this broadcast and decide THIS IS HOW you do a game not involving the Leafs???

And about everyone's fave fourth liner: THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!
I can't believe many of us go Ape-Crap for weeks as Chummy spends too much time in the press box and now he's gone for 2 months, likely the season. The best "value" on the roster is gone. I bet Clouston wishes he had played him more while he could...the Sens would likely have 2 or 3 more points in the standings which might come in handy in April!
Hard to believe the loss of a low-paid veteran grinder will have a big effect on the team's success, but it will.

This design is incredible! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
..HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and
more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established website like yours require a
lot of work? I am brand new to blogging however I do
write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely
unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
