Leafs 1-0-0 (2), Senators 0-1-0 (0) **Where:** Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada **When:** TV - 7:00pm on CBC. Radio - AM640 Toronto **Why:** To continue the Leafs' 4-year-long season series victory over Ottawa. Take the jump for some thoughts on the matchup tonight and the projected rosters. Last night I sat in Buffalo [Wild](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/minnesota-wild?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Wings downing delicious morsels of chicken doing the same things I assume Head Coach Ron Wilson was doing last night, watching the Leafs next opponent get absolutely trounced in their season opener. [Living up to the expectations of many](http://thehockeywriters.com/2011-12-nhl-season-preview-thw-conference-picks/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), the Ottawa Senators would beaten like a red-headed stepchild in every aspect of the game. I would say the only player for them who actually gave a damn was [Jason Spezza](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54379/jason-spezza?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) , but don't worry Nail Yakupov lovers in Ottawa, [he'll probably get traded away for peanuts](http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4467465&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in a move that will help secure the first overall pick. Just like me, Wilson must have loved what he saw. Sure the Wings employed their tried and true method of a solid puck possession game, but where they were most effective was on the forecheck and the transition game; the same two aspects that are the Leafs' strong suits. If golem on skates [Todd Bertuzzi](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54655/todd-bertuzzi?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) has the speed to get behind the Senators for a breakaway goal, just think what [Phil Kessel](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54905/phil-kessel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) or Matt Lombardi can do. If 5'11", 174lbs [Darren Helm](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55743/darren-helm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) can out muscle the pylons on Ottawa's blueline, just think what [Matt Frattin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/130845/matt-frattin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) or [Nikolai Kulemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54310/nikolai-kulemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will do to them in the corners. If [Dion Phaneuf](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54651/dion-phaneuf?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) can fire laser beams past a top 5 goalie like [Carey Price](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54843/carey-price?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), just think what he can do to the tattered shooter tutor that is [Craig Anderson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54849/craig-anderson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Oh yeah, and the Senators are playing back-to-back road games.
