Lame Day Preview: Ottawa Home Games v. Florida City Yardsales

Hailing from the city of Florida, the Panthers arrive in town to face off against the Ottawa Senators in the always spiritual Battle of the Deadline Sellers.angelfire.tv
For me I think the wild card is former Florida goaltender Craigory Anderson facing off against his former team. Always gives a goaltender a little chip on their
shoulder thinking back to all those humiliating strip shootout sessions. Or maybe it wont? I don’t know I’m all used to this team not living up to any pregame
billing like “OooooOOooo Kovalev faces off against the Habs!, Result: 0Gs, 0As, – 2” or “ooOOoooOOOo Gonchar playing the Penguins, Result: 0Gs, 0As, -3 (stats courtesy
of me making them up but you feel me, right?.com ) but yeah, I’m still getting used to that whole game going to a shootout and the Sens winning the thing so it would seem the more we know the less
we know with this here caper. Maybe Cheechoo finally bags his…whats that?..oh in the AHL now…well speaking of AHL, Jim “Conan” O’Brien fills in for Peter “Regin” Jensen…Ive heard conflicting things about Campoli playing THAT’S THE CCFR DIFFERENCE!
Is anyone else as excited as I am about the Michalek (who’s name I just had to look up the spelling of…why was I given a password to this blog?) – Spezza – Butler combo?
I must say there’s some excitement in that for the remainder of the season these guys could be a first line that hopefully wont be broken up …well, that is unless they don’t score 2 goals by the first intermission, like Clousty, baby, the team’s in 15th place…give them a minute to gel, I mean you give your hair a minute to gel and that is obviously working so, you know, try to apply that gel to other facets of the game.
Lame day predictions: Clouston rocks a FEIRCE Pumpkin spice shirt Autumn Mist tie combo, gels hair. Kovalev nets one as his point production reconstructive surgery will only hold until Monday.

Conrad buying Bobby Butler jersey watch: I would LOVE to see the kid pot another one tonight!

HEYYYYYY BOYS! LETS WIN ONE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT MONEY AND ATTENDED THE GAAAAAAME! Seriously…win the game for those people.

Lame Day Preview: The Ottawa New Old New Jersey Devils vs. The Calgary Last Year’s Sens’ Season

*Doing a Sudoku 4 kidz* OH…what are you doing here? Im sorry I wasn’t expecting anyone to show up….lemme just put some pantelons on!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh kayyyyyyyyyy… *shuffles paper*

So let’s seeeee here, the Sens look to extend their infinity game losing streak against the Calgary 2009-2010 Sens who I suppose are looking to go on a 10 game win streak
and then have Jerome Spezza draw back into their line up and go on a scoring streak?
Meanwhile, Jarrko Ruutu is the LATEST player to hate Cory Clouston’s guts and remains a scratch. Whew boy…players’ coach.
Side discussion: Clouston TOO easy to hate?

Well, at least Kovalev’s being given every chance to get moved while Peter Regin only has two months left to pot his 3rd goal of the year (I predicted 20 from him this season for those keeping track, yeh, thats right…20).
Now this:
On a more positive note: We get another look at Bobby Butler and Jim O’Brien who have been called up  
On a negative note: its because Alfredsson* and Winchester are injured. (*Alfie Update: Apparently quite Badly.)
On a positive note: …
On a negative note: Brian Elliot does not start this game.  At worst, he’ll only play A BUNCH of the game.
On a positive note: Something about draft picks.

Enjoy the game! Heh heh…ahhhh….seriously though…game.

2011.02.07: In Which Robin Drago Must BREAK YOU

So, discussion for the site: is it a good thing that Robin Lehener is ostensibly a psychopath? See attached photos, courtesy of Smooth Jimmy. Is this different from Ray Emery? We all thought it was awesome that Ray gave the team swagger and wouldn’t back down, and a season after giving him big money we ended up buying the guy out because he wasn’t team-oriented. Either Lehner is the same, i.e. taking a needless penalty that ends up giving the game away (I guess you could also argue it was Elliott giving up three goals on 12 shots that did that), or he’s somehow TOO team oriented. Dude wants to fucking WIN. I’m scared that with all of the losing going on around here that he’s going to rip a supermarket in half with his bare hands.

Marc P said:
I hope he rips Elliott and Kuba apart with his bare hands. Possibly use the Scandinavian Death Stare to turn Kovalev into a bubbling pile of stick handling turnovers.

This is different from the Ray Emery situation. Emery didn’t care about anything but himself (and white suits). Lehner is what this team needs. A goalie with skill and size who hates losing. The hit on the Isles 5th string goalie was a message to the team and the opposition. “Don’t f&%k with us and get the hell out of my way.” This is not swagger, this is a change in attitude. I personally loved it.
Re: the game winning goal – don’t blame Lehner for losing the game. Blame Clouston. Blame Clouston for putting Kuba on the ice when the team was down 2 men. I would rather have a tired Phillips on a 5 on 3 PK. Clouston also put Kuba on a 5 on 3 PK against the Wings the night before. Guess what? The Wings scored on that power play. The Masters of the Universe moral to this story: Orko is a better defenseman than Kuba and don’t let Kuba “work” the PK.
Ride Lehner for the remainder of the season and bench Elliott. The Franzen goal that Elliott let in while the Mule was coming off the wing was the last straw for me. I want to see Lehner snap this winless streak, and I also want to see him snap for real.
Peter said:
Lehner strikes me as the only reason to watch this team down the stretch.
Prianka said:
That first picture is amazing. What happened during practice to get him to make that face? If that is his reaction to something in practice, I can only imagine how he was towards Kuba after the Islanders game. 

Speaking of the Islanders game, I didn’t even know it was on since apparently China fails at having free wifi but what happened?? I thought that was supposed to be our shot to snap the losing streak, maintain our pace of one win a month.

I like seeing Lehner between the pipes, because it is nice to see a guy on the ice who actually cares about what is happening with this team. The only thing that concerns me is how it will effect his attitude towards the organization. When he is playing the occasional game, it is exciting for him regardless of the outcome (well, close enough). If he starts playing losing games three times a week, we might find ourselves with a very dejected goalie on our hands by October of 2011.

I have invented a word to describe the Senators 2010/11 season – horrendless. It is a combination of the words horrendous and endless. Is it April yet? I’m ready to start watching playoff hockey.

James…ugh…blathered about:

“Stand by your man(iac)”

Okay, so, that game against the Islanders could be the landmark moment of where a little theory of mine will finally get put to the test:

Backstory:
*Splinter from Ninja Turtles voice*

Many mooooooooooooooons ago (5 moons ago for those keeping track),

Conrad and I were discussing the Ottawa Senators goaltending whoas – NOW STAY WITH ME I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT IT’S TRUE! I opined that I think to truly be a great goalie it is to your advantage to be a ruthless maniac. I think in terms of what could be considered fantastic goalies Martin Brodeur might be the only “Laid Back” great I can think of…but maybe that can be attributed to his making love this wife’s sister to take the edge off of playoff stress (thanks for the hot tip @seanavery!)

Current Wackos:

Tim Thomas: Best goaltender in the NHL today plays anything BUT tender *pelted with hot trash* ! Known as an extremely likeable everyman off the ice on the ice, Thomas is a WILD man on the ice. Should you search him on yootoobes youre just as likely to find him making a ridiculous sprawling save as you are a clip of him calmly and casually explaining to the back of a player who’s trying to crowd his crease’s legs/head “MY HOUSE… MY HOUSE.” Thomas is a great goaltender no question, rocking a sub 2.00GAA (!!!?) more than halfway through the season but he can also “th’ow them thangz” should anyone get up in his biz. I think it is an invaluable (who makes up these words?) dimension of his Vezina worthy play. Also, did anyone see that clip of him last week losing his mask mid play and getting up AND CONTINUING TO FACE SHOTS FROM PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYERS USING COMPOSITE STICKS? …bad ass, bad ass.

Roberto Luongo: Okay, so this guy isn’t the wildest guy ever but lemme just use a current Senator as an example of why I like Lou’s game:

When Pascal Leclaire came over here the big points of discussion were A) His supreme athleticism (go-go gadget DiPietro groin!) and B) His ability to not let a bad game bother him. He lets it sliiiiiiide off his back with a joke and a dfajkls;asdfldfa! Ha haaa! Siiiiigh, you know who doesn’t let a bad game roll off of his back? Luongo. His greasy tears in post game interviews after, granted, early playoff exists probably do little for disappointed Canucks fans BUT you know what they tell me? THIS GUY GIVES A SHIT AND ITS GOING TO BOTHER HIM ALL SUMMER. He has leadership skills. He shows that he thinks his bad play is unacceptable. Also, good at goaltending. When a goalie puts it on his back and says “I let the team down” after a playoff exit it makes ME want to cry because we’ve never really had a dude like that OOORRR HAVE WEEE… *see next exaaaaaaample*

Ray Emery: Razor, pronounced with a … okay, so, this dude was pretty frigging nuts. Not in Thomas or Luongo’s class play wise but definitely teams last good goalie..also interestingly the last Senators goalie who had ANY CONFINDENCE. I think his wildness on the ice was a huge part of his success in Ottawa. Personally, I think his dismissal from the team may have not have had to do with this so much as a little problem regarding …not to be confused with Kyle Wellwood’s nutrition problems and penchant for soft drinks…as in…uhhh…consuming a little too much coke (A COLA…COLA) after games. Anylawsuit,  his dismantelling of Martin Biron and immediately stepping up to the challenge of fighting Peters WHICH FOR A GOALIE IS LIKE FIGHTING AN ENFORCER WITH AN INFLATABLE SUMO SUIT ON…sent a message to constant playoff opponent / all the time rival Buffalo “we will bust you in the head, bust you up on the scoreboard AND upstairs” Intimidation IS a factor in the NHL (see also: Almost every western team is terrifying), I think we all miss the toughness he brought to the team…which was replaced with Martin Gerber looking like he just saw a guh-guh-guh-ghost in every postgame interview.

Hall of (Successful) Villians:

Patrick Roy:

This guy is the total package of I cant touch the blue line/ talk to my goalposts lunacy. A lunacy that carries on to this day in the Q with the Remparts (great team name? GREAT team name). Known for being a cocky son of a bitch through his career…I am going to go out on a limb and piece together that his intensity and self confidence gave him the tools to win the Stanley Cup as a rookie AND not miss a game after HAVING HIS APPENDIX REMOVED and go on to win the Stanley cup AGAIN. Also, more general over the top intensity in Colorado losing it on various Red Wings tenders in brawls coupled with post game swagger

Clumsy Example:
“I don’t thinks I hurr what Jeremy saids, because I has my two Stanley Cups rings…pluggings my h’ear.” – Patrick Roy, Guy who says things.
“All your base are belong to us.” – Patrick Roy internet meme (probably).

These guys were also lunatics: Ed Belfore (see off the ice section on Wikipedia), Ron Hextall (really?), Tony Esposito (was so terrified of losing used throw up before every game and often between periods…and is in the Hall of Fame now,  Dominek Hasek(seems laid back but definitely tried to crush someone’s windpipe in a Czech ROLLER HOCKEY LEAGUE game). The list honestly…goes on…like this post.

Anyway, if we’re going to have the wimpiest defense corps ever (see also; Johan Franzen scoring FIVE GOALS with one arm) I am happy to see a little stick smashing after a loss. Welcome aboard Robin, I embrace your young cockiness and hope you find a place among our other recent cocky young addition, Erik Karlsson..our best defenseman…oh wait, whats that? Oh we have Sergei Gonchar on the team too…but…oh…but…he’s doing better than that guy? Oh he is? I see. I think I’ll take the afternoon off.


LASTLY, fine folks, does Toronto have the makings of a Dany Heatley type situation on their hands? Youch!

THE CORY CLOUSTON FASHION REVIEW (and Tips)

To begin, looking stylish is easy. I believe that we should all dress for success without trying too hard. It’s clear that Mr. Clouston has not been a student of this philosophy. After “watching” (Note: the quotations imply that I watch the game while she does pretty much anything else-MP) a few games when the coach started with the Senator, I looked at my fiancé and said: “Someone needs to help him (bla bla bla)…He needs a stylist!” I wonder if his significant other “manages” his wardrobe? If so, he shouldn’t follow her advice. For the love of Oswald Boateng, get a stylist! I’m not recommending hiring a celebrity stylist like Rachel Zoe. Visit your local Club Monaco, Mexx, Sean John, or even better Hugo Boss, and tell them you need help (because you do). They will set you up with the basics.

Cory Clouston, here are my free tips and advice to upgrade your look (Gentlemen take notes):
1. You need a properly tailored suit that doesn’t make you look like Bryan Murray. By the way, Bryan Murray dresses better than you do. The fit of a suit is extremely important. You can buy an inexpensive suit from Moores and make it look like a million dollars if it’s fitted properly. Furthermore, you will look like you’re in charge. A suit’s fit will accentuate your body and give you confidence.

Tailors are masters at making suits look impeccable and can be found in EVERY city. I recommend starting your wardrobe with a black suit, with the addition of a navy and grey suit to have a solid rotation. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add a slightly patterned suit, like a pin stripe, for fun. I’m not saying that you don’t have a good tailor but I do believe that your suits are literally off the rack. Your suits and ties AGE you. And it doesn’t help that the team isn’t performing. Your body language exudes stress. The least you can do is dress well.

2. You need a haircut. Ask your barber for a short hair do that won’t look like you constantly need a trim. Dare I say…perhaps getting your hair color darkened (wouldn’t be a bad idea). The current color you have washes out your face.

3. Get some fabulous ties. This is a great opportunity to add a splash of color to your outfit. The size of your tie is crucial. Smaller is better in this case. A slim tie can do you wonders. DO NOT WEAR A FAT TIE. IT’S SLOPPY.

4. The shirts you wear lack luster. Do not buy shirts that a high school substitute teacher from the late 70s would wear. Shirts are the backdrop of your outfit, must be pressed and should make your suit and tie “sing”. Stay away from shirts that have dead earthy color tones. They will kill  your look.

5. Get inspired. There are many blogs that present amazing sartorial advice. Also, take note from your peers in professional sports. Ron Wilson and Guy Carbonneau are great examples of coaches (Note: or former coaches-MP) that get it. Other television personalities/characters you can draw inspiration from are Anderson Cooper and my personal favorite John Hamm, better known as Don Draper on Mad Men. Take your pick to become your fashion idol and get to work.

I have a feeling that from the time you wake up, to the moment you step behind the bench, a few people have had the chance to mention how old fashion and badly styled you are. If they’re not giving you input, find a stylish person and ask them “How do I look?”. Trust me, they’ll be honest. The fashion police are one unit that will not hold back. In addition, you travel to some major fashion destinations like New York, Chicago, and Montreal. Take a moment to drop by one of the many shops in those cities if you feel that you can’t find what you’re looking for in Ottawa.

The unfortunate thing about CC is that he’s young, in good shape and not unattractive. I’m not superficial, but you are on television, and you are the leader of this team. Put some pride into your look and success will follow you.

Lame Day Preview: Ottawa Viking Death Ships vs. Jeans…Buffalo

Ottawa hasn’t played in about 6 and a half weeks so I figured that I would FINALLY do a lame day prev-

Oh wait, wait, wait… according to my Palm Pilot (see above picture  -ha? no ha.)…huh, says the Sens last played on FRIDAY…
It would seem that each over the top dramatic event that happens to the team makes each day in between games seem like
a week and a half. Huh, thanks science!

Now, I know what youre all expecting me to talk about *crickets* no, its not the sound of crickets…

Its not “OoooOOoooOOOO how is the team going to play now that they know the coach and GM AREN’T getting fired
this season” (that will come later). No, I want to talk about how Filip Kuba is a healthy scratch FINALLY.

This one is a big for me. He gets paid a lot of money to suck. Maybe now that Clouston gets to live like Peter in Office Space for the next few months – except not as happy about
working construction at the end (late spoiler alert!) – maybe he’ll get a little bit creative with his coaching. Namely, benching of Fillip Kuba/whoever…
I dont care so much about Kuba Badding Jr. “learning his lesson” so much as I straight up dont want to watch him play tonight.

oh sure this does nothing to help his trade value but I think he already crashed that flying saucer into the side of a mountain long ago. Remember when this guy had 40 assists? …yeah, FOUR this year. . .Four

Those days are gone. Sure, guy started off the year hurt. Never fun. Alsoooo…you know…bring anything to the tableau when youre back on the team
Smooth Jimmy’s Psychic Reverse Psychology Korner:

Last time I dissed Kuba during a game he made a heroic shot block…so maybe he’ll be first star after this post.

 

Honestly, the remainder of this season will likely be about little victories. Like, Kuba getting Scratched, the CURRENT fact that Robin Lehner is undefeated in NHL action, The video of Karlsson being told he’s made the All Star team (our generation’s baby panda sneezing video), maybe a Kovalev benching?, LeClaire jokes OR A WIN EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
Yeah, I’m hoping for a win tonight…what of it!?
May Spezzafacehouseboat have mercy on us all.

James Says:

So let’s cut the crap (this posting) and get to the grout lines of this tile flooring (worst analogy of all time? WORST analogy of all time..and possibly even before The Land Before Time 2: Back in the fdASDLkfasf).

As you have all heard by now the Senators have recalled Martin Gerber Jr. from the Renfrew Millionaires JJJJJUUUUSST CRYING! Kidding! Okay, Robin Lehner is getting his first LNH start tonight.
So …I’m not going to deny that this is shaping up to be some MUST SEE TEEVEE but instead of expecting a 1992 era T.G.I.F. lineup lets tune in for a little Thursday night L.T.O.E. (Let’s Temper Our Expectations).

I personally don’t think it’s a desperation move putting Lehndawg in net or that it’s going to diarrhea his development or whatever. I think its more of a “BRIAN ELLIOT CANT WIN A GAME RIGHT NOW AND LECLAIRE ( to reiterate) IS INJURED FROM INJURING HIMSELF REHABBING AN INJURY AND THE OTHER BACK UP HAS STRUGGLED WITH INJURIES SINCE THE PRESEASON” type of move.
Ugh. Teams put rookie goaltenders in sometimes. Now is one of those times and I think he’ll be okay but (in fairness to Elliot as well) he cant be the entire team so its Godspeed You! Terrible Defense / Flaccid Offense.

If Lehner lets in 5 goals tonight HE WILL STILL FARE BETTER THAN THE CURRENT STARTER’S LAST BARFORMANCE! .

I think more importantly…someone needs to actually put more than 1 puck in the net…over the course of the game and not at once that doesn’t really count….eh, whatever try it, see if I stop you. Anyway, speaking of tempering the living shit out of one’s expectations Corey Locke draws into the lineup tonight in hopes of generating some offense.
Once upon a time (a couple of years ago) I happened to strike up conversation at an airport with a scout for the Montreal Canadians who also (according to him) used to work for Ottawa. I knew he was legit as I had seem him on TV before and he was also wearing a Montreal Canadians everything. Anyway, as a fan of the Mighty Ottawa 67s, I asked him, what happened Corey Locke former star 67 and 2 time OHL MVP. He curtly said. “Hmmm, Locke, yeah, too small, too slow” [Note: I will be at the 67s game Friday night at the CCFR booth signing hotdogs outside the men’s room].
“Great story, James” – Everyone reading this
He basically told me that for his skillset he’d likely be an effective AHL career guy. But after seeing Locke in his post-67s glory in that Binghamton v. Hamilton game at SBP (sorry I mean Palladium) I noticed an attribute that maybe that scout politely left off his list…DUDE WAS THE LAZIEST PLAYER ON THE ICE. Considering he was playing HIS OLD TEAM IN FRONT OF THE FANS/GM OF THE TEAM HE WAS AIMING TO PLAY FOR, he was noticeably Kovadaisicalev out there. I left that game thinking that he must be riding Butler’s (who was Bingos best forward that night) coat tails. But then I thought, “im pretty sure his AHL career numbers are really good though – I cant confirm that… Ask Jeeves is down right now – so maybe the scout was right? Look kid, as a 67 year old man/sometimes tax payer I have earned the right to call you that, prove me wrong that you are more than a slow Ryan Shannon and light it up on your line with Ryan Shannon [the fast Corey Locke] and Nick Foligno [the somehow even lower scoring Mike Foligno].
Happy (?) Viewing to all.

Conrad says:

I don’t really see this as much more than the management getting a peek at a promising prospect in a lost season. Toronto is playing Reimer. I think the Islanders are playing their rookie. So this is a kid getting a game against one of the league’s worst teams at a time when there couldn’t possibly be less at stake. Though probably good for his development, I worry that it’s either A) rushing a 19 year old unnecessarily, or B) may, somehow, probably not (but maybe), reinvigorate the team – which, let’s be clear, ONLY means worsening our draft position.

Want to know how awesome a 4th overall pick is? Did you see Ryan Johansen in the World Juniors? How about Evander Kane? Or Tyler Myers, or the player who went right after him, Luke Schenn? Outside of maybe the top five it gets more crapshooty, but inside that magical five it’s all but guaranteed – you WILL get an impact player. We need the types of guys on our team, and putting in our best goaltender before he’s had a chance to become our best goaltender either hurts him or helps the team – thereby hurting us.
Look at Toronto the year they drafted Kadri. They stank, had their 1st round pick, and we looking at picking up their second top five pick in two years. Then Burke picks up Gerber for no discernable reason at all, the team plays a little bit better but doesn’t go on a miracle run, and gets the seventh overall pick instead. These little decisions are all the difference between having a franchise player and having merely a contributor.
Therefore: I’m good with one game. ONE. GAME. Then back to Binghamton he goes and we ride Mike Brodeur to glory / a top five pick.

Peter Says:

Pete tears a sheet off a dusty dot matrix printer. “well well look what just came over the wire… Corey Locke to make preseason debut 3 months later.” Hmmm very interesting. If I were him I’d get as many shots on net as possible, even if it means concussing the timbits goalie between periods. Cuz there’s one thing I do know. CLOUSTON IS GIVING YOU 3 MINUTES OF ICE TIME. it starts as soon as you start tying your skates. So get going.
all the callups in the world won’t matter if they don’t get time to actually play. Cloustons coaching for his job. Unbelievably he’s the only one who thinks he’ll survive the season. Ergo, no ice time for scrubs. Only regular scrubs who don’t call him Ginger nuts get to play.
Conrad you are crazy right about the value of the top five pick. This town needs someone to get excited about. Hell, let’s let the isles win and push for número uno. They’ll just waste it on Brett lindros again anyways.

James wont shut up:

Draft position is nice but if they win i have to say it doesnt hurt the team. Guh, I have such a hard time with this rooting for a loss crud. Makes me feel like a leafs fan. I also worry about NO ONE GOING TO GAMES anymore – what with us being cursed to have a franchise in a city of people whos dads liked the leafs. At any rate, trust me this team is not going to have much difficulty losing a lot of games even if Lehner started the rest of the season. I will always think a culture of pride is necessary to the players who stay on the team…in other words the Sens cant just lose every single game now that they arent going to make the playoffs. Plus there is plenty to look forward to with eleventy trillion dollars coming off the books and hopefully picking up extra picks regardless at the trade deadline. Also you accidentally spelt Brayden Schenn Luke Schenn….because…Luke Schenn has played…less than awesome for the last 2 of his 3 seasons.

also can we give it up AGAIN for how awesome Steven’s image was today?

Hot mess. After reading the Sens blogosphere I feel like Im on SO MUCH PROZAC. OHHHHHH a humiliating loss to the loafs and then a week off?
It’s a recipe for WIDESPREAD OPTIMISM  oh and VERY reasonable rumors in Ottawa. Look, I’m not saying that I’m not feeling down on the team too …as a former blogger myself, I got in on the feeding frenzy a little bit too before I was let go here …but its like people are going to be furious if there isn’t a complete changing of the guard in 24 hours.

Bros and Sisses, THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE END OF THE YEAR. Murray and Clouston aren’t really delivering, its very true… but their contracts are up at the end of the regular season If The Euge decides to pay them to not work for a few months while paying for Cheechoo, Emery (?), and infinity other coaches I will cease to understand how he became a zillionaire. “Think I became the richest man in the world by cutting a bunch of cheques?” –Fictionalized Bill Gates on the Simpsons*

Lets just relax…continue to cheer our Sens for not being the New Jersey Devils and wait and see what happens for the rest of the year and get excited for youth and the moving of Pascal Leclaire’s upper and lower bodies to the ECHL in the approaching Papa Roaching offseason.

Yeah, maybe the team will toss someone at the trade deadline…don’t count on it though, Jack (you)! After all (prepare for caps lock…)
THEY CANT EVEN MOVE BRIAN LEE OR GET HIM CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS. . . I mean he IS Brian Lee but this is NHL 4.6Beta …

Lets not “get our freak on guh-git our freak onnn” – Missy “Misdemeanor” Brian Elliot, CCFR Blogger 2011-2011 –  if the Sens don’t beat the BHawks tonight because theres a good chance that mayyyybe nothings going to change… for now.
Either way it should be interesting …to see if this post holds any water in 24 hours.

Lame Day Preview Update(.com): Robin Lehner is backing up Brian “Misdemeanor” Joke is funnier second time! Elliot tonight as Pascal LeClaire is too busy taking calls from all the NHL teams that are offering him amazing deals to start for their PROFESSIONAL hockey clubs next season. Okay, okay, okay I’m just joking he slipped on a puddle of toilet water he was drinking.
