Sens Win In OT. Again.

Stop me if you've heard this before. Daniel Alfredsson scores the overtime winner at SBP off a pass from Erik Karlsson. No you're not going crazy, for the second straight home game, the Captain won it for the Sens in OT with the assist going to EK, who extended his lead in defenceman scoring tonight. Other goal scorers were Spezza and Condra. With the win the Sens moved into 6th spot in the eastern conference. It was our third game in a row that went to extra time. All wins.

Other thoughts from the game:

• the Sens had 32 shots tonight but also had 23 blocked and around 20 more that missed the net.
• Gonchar sat out last minute. Maybe he's more hurt than first thought.
• I've been pleasantly surprised with the play of Turris but he needs to score a goal soon.
• Phillips left in the second and didn't return. That can't be good.
• Greening hasn't been his old scoring power forward self lately. Is he hurt?
• Martin Brodeur fell off awhile ago. He should retire.
• Weird to see a fast paced action packed game between the Sens and Devils.
• Craig Anderson got an assist tonight, his 4th point of the year. Respect!
• Tonight was our 3rd W in a row. It's officially a legit win streak.

With the OT winner for the 2nd straight game, Daniel Alfredsson wins the night

Alfie Scores 400th In OT Comeback Win

Was there any doubt that Daniel Alfredsson would score his 400th career goal in style? The Sens got down 3-0 in the first period and Alex Auld was awful yet again, before the Sens snapped back to life and Craig Anderson held down the fort for a 4-3 comeback overtime win off the stick of the one and only Alfie.

Other thoughts from the game:

• What a goal by Karlsson to tie the game and awesome to see him so excited for Alfie's 400th.
• I thought Brian Lee had a very solid game for him.
• Alex Auld was bad again.
• While he still hasn't scored, I thought Turris had another decent game.
• Zack Smith scored on a very nice shot. He's one of my faves on the team.
• Cowen had another quiet but very solid game. Very underrated attention wise for rookies in my opinion.
• Foligno had another hard working game. You've go to be impressed with his effort all the time.
• Good to see Condra was ok after that potentially dangerous hit.
• I thought the reffing was off tonight as well.
• Great comeback and awesome to see them compete when they easily could have shut it down after being down 3-0 after 1 with a game coming up tomorrow. Team has a lot of heart.

Four Street

Bam!!! The Senators made it four in a row tonight, beating the Florida Panthers in the dying seconds to get a 4-3 win in which was a very exciting third period. This is the 2nd straight game the Sens have won with under 5 seconds to play. pretty compelling stuff at SBP these days. They may not be talented but they sure to play hard and never give up, and you know what, sometimes that's better. One thing I do know is that they are fun to watch and very easy to root for when they put out that kind of effort. We are now .500 on the season.

Other thoughts from the game:

• I thought Spezza was excellent again and he registered another point tonight.
• Rundblad has been quietly improving and a solid 3rd. He also kept the puck in and made a beauty little pass to Alfie on the game winning goal to get us the win.
• Is Colin Greening turning into the power forward we've always desperately needed? Sure looks like it.
• Attendance was 18,867. Pretty solid.
• I found Craig Anderson to be kind of shaky, especially on the first and third goals. He has to have that first one and he was crazy out of position on the third. He was lucky to get the W.
• Jacob Markstrom is gonna be a beast. I can see why he is so highly rated. And crazy that he is 6'6.

                         With one goal and one assist for the captain, Daniel Alfredsson wins the night.
