I don't even know what to say right now. Yes, it's a road trip to Ottawa which means we could get some hilarious whining from the [Senators](http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2013/02/13/ottawa%5Fsenators%5Fplan%5Fto%5Fhalt%5Fblue%5Fwave%5Ffrom%5Fleafland%5Fdoomed%5Fto%5Ffail%5Ffeschuk.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), or [their fans](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/senators-fans-force-sports-retailer-remove-toronto-maple-192231789--nhl.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), about "bloo bloo bloo we can't keep mean old Leafs fans out of our rink and their more popular than we are" That I can get excited for. Otherwise? Fuck it.. The Leafs have fallen way out of a playoff spot. 9 points back of Boston for that last wild card spot. The [Senators](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/ottawa-senators?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) are only 2 points behind the Leafs (thanks to the loser point, Leafs have 4 more wins). It's still being called the "Battle of Ontario" despite there being no playoff games between these two since the Leafs beat Ottawa in the first round in 2004, *eleven years ago*. Rivalries are only fun when both teams are good, not two middling teams who make up their goddamn minds whether to make the playoffs or get a good draft pick. The best we can hope for is a player chases a fan into the stands for tossing a jersey at the bench, but Komarov won't be playing so I doubt it happens. If you want to watch something exciting, try to get the Sault Ste. Marie/ Barrie game tonight. Two of the top OHL teams should make up for two of the "meh-est" teams around. If not, let's move on to whats up tonight on ROGERS SCOTIABANK WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOCKEY SUPER SHOW. **TV: Sportnet** **Radio: Sportsnet Radio 590** **SBN:** [Silver Seven Sens](http://www.silversevensens.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) **Past Five Games - Leafs** Ugh. The Leafs have won ZERO of their past five games. A 0-5 record. 4 games in a west coast road trip and they came home, shit the bed in a 4-1 loss and had some jerseys tossed at them. Leafs have scored TWO FUCKING GOALS in their past 5 games. That's how it's gone. Just fucking peachy. **Past Five Games - Sens** The Sens are 2-2-1 in their past 5 with 17 GF and 13 GA. The lost in overtime to the [Rangers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-rangers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in their last game and would love to beat the Leafs in the CTC, if only to not be booed on home ice by opposing fans. **[Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Projected Lines** No morning skate today, here's what we saw in practice yesterday van Riemsdyk-Kadri-Kessel Winnik-Komarov-Clarkson Panik-Santorelli-Leivo Booth-Smith-Frattin Bozak was absent yesterday, but Komarov will not play so I'd guess and swap those two on the second line. No notes on D from yesterday, but they called up Percy. Reimer could start tonight. He's 8-1-0 career vs Ottawa. .965 sv%. **Senators Projected Lines** MacArthur-Turris-Chiasson Hoffman-Zibanejad-Ryan Michalek-Pageau-Stone Condra-Legwand-Lazar Methot-Karlsson Cowen-Ceci Wiercioch-Gryba Anderson **Notes** [Craig Anderson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54849/craig-anderson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will start in his 400th career game tonight. Komarov will not play. **My (Grumpy Cynical) Prediction** The Leafs will win this one. It won't be close, probably 5-2\. We'll go into the All-Star break on a high note. People will feel good about the team, feel they've turned a corner, then February will come.... Edit: Uhh...the game for tonight disappeared from the list when I looked so, use this as your GDT for now.
