Sens Fan Invades Toronto

Look out for him in section 317, row 19.  He'll be the one screeching as Daniel Alfredsson putters around the ice with his walker.

Anyways, the Senators come to Toronto after suffering a beat down at the hands of Detroit last night.  Not only is this the first of six meetings between the Sens and Leafs, but also the first chance for Eugene Melnyk to promote his new nasal orgasm spray to a wider audience.  Good luck Eugene.  Hope you have better luck than the Senators do in the playoffs.

Man does it feel great to have hockey back.  Continue on after the jump for a ton of fine Saturday links...

Ya true but all I’m saying is at some point, enough is enough, especially when it seems to some of us (don’t mean to speak on everyone else’s behalf) that there seems to be a pack mentality that allows some regulars to gang up on one. You know the kinda of thing that made other really nice regulars that I wish were still here, leave.

I agree with the ribbing and fun poking. That does make this site fun.

But, there is a difference between calling someone out on one issue, ( in this case the gay marriage issue I think is what upset everyone, myself included) and letting that one opinion determine your reaction to everything the person says.

If someone deserves to be called out, call them out. When someone posts random Senators hate, I would think that would go over very well on this blog. Anyway, I didn’t want to get into a whole thing over this and I mostly agree with you anyway. Peace.

I agree with you – a hockey blog should only be about hockey. There are other forums for BS life shit.

Ew re: Steckel's hand
Making his faceoff prowess even more remarkable is the fact the index finger on his right hand is a bit of a mess. Steckel broke it in 2008 blocking a shot, had the pins removed to play in the postseason and then wasn’t able to bend the finger for a full season.

The injury developed a staph infection, and he came close to losing a few fingers – something that would have ended his faceoff-taking days for good.

These days, the knuckle on his finger is so badly disfigured he compares it to his big toe.

But it doesn’t keep him from doing the thing that makes him more valuable on the ice.

"Now, I can bend it around a stick," Steckel said. "That’s all I need it to do."

Looks like the only line changes is Orr in and Rosie out.

Interesting that Franson doesn’t get a start. I thought Wilson would want both he and Gardiner to play a game to get a look at them and then a week of practices to decide who to go with.

Maybe Wilson really liked Lebda and now he’s sitting Franson just for spite.

He might not want to fiddle with the lineup too much...

I could see a shutout win making a coach not want to mess with things.

Perhaps he’s learned his lesson from last season. After the 4-0-0 start, he sent Zigomanis to the Marlies and put Gunnarsson into the lineup.

I hope so. First of all what Neil did to Grabbo was totally tasteless and Neil needs to be taught a lesson, .. and second I have Orr as an enforcer on one of my fantasy teams !

Looking at the shift chart from the last game I noticed something interesting:
Wilson had Phaneuf-Gunnar on the ice as much as possible against Cammalari-Plekanec-Kostitsyn and he had the Lupu-Bozak-Kessel out against them as well. That is until the last 10 minutes of the game he put the Frattin-Grabbo-Kulemin line out against the Habs top line.

I wonder if this is something he has done before?

SAVE %

This may be a stupid question, but I’m curious, and I wonder what would be the most effective way to measure.

Is a goalie’s average save % calculated using the average of a goalies save % every game? Or total saves divided by total shots?

ie. Reimer has a 1.00 % after game 1 after 32 shots, and in tonights game theoretically has a 0.900 % on 20 shots, would his average save % for the season be: 0.950% (average save % per game) OR a 0.962% (total saves divided by total shots)?

by Trunk on Oct 8, 2011 2:29 PM EDT reply actions  

I would hope over the season it is calculated as total saves / total shots.
