Fake GDP # 6: Sens v Toronto

Fake GDP #2: Sens v Boston

The Sens open their home pre-season schedule with a big test, the defending Stanley Cup champ are in town. The Sens will get some relief as former Sen Zdeno Chara won't be playing and neither will Vezina winner, Conn Smythe winner, Stanley Cup winner and all around Sen killer Tim Thomas. The big news is the debut of Kanata's own Mark Borowiecki in his hometown. Let's hope it goes well for the Ktowner. No Spezza or Alfie tonight.

Game is on TV on TSN. Lineups and more after the jump.


Your lines for tonight are:

-Filatov-Zibanejad-Butler
-Prince-Da Costa-O'Brien
-Foligno-Regin-Condra
-Daugavins-Locke-Parrish

The defensive pairings are:

-Cowen-Gonchar
-Phillips-Lee
-Borowiecki-Rundblad

and the goalies will be Anderson and Auld.

Here are the players playing for the B's.




Here's what Kanata native Mark Borowiecki had to say in anticipation of his first game in his home arena.

Look to see who plays better between Stephane Da Costa and Mika Zibanejad tonight, as they are likely battling for a roster spot.

Fake GDP #1: Sens @ Toronto

Most of the stars aren't playing except for Karlsson, but we will get a look at a bunch of up and comers like Filatov, Zibanejad, Cowen and Rundblad. Auld starts and Lehner finishes. There is no TV coverage of the game unless you have Leafs TV and if you do, I don't know why you'd be on this blog. No TV is kind of a big fail to me, especially when playing Toronto. At least hockey is back.
