^I think we'll see a different Pittsburgh team tonight!! These are cup champions, they're not gonna roll over that easy.

Agreed, BUT Crosby is clearly not himself after that Niskanen hit.   
Clearly concussed and funny to juxtapose with the league pretending to make a big deal about actually caring about such things.  "Concussion spotters" Ha!

It's hard to peg the Sens as an elite team on paper (outside of Karlson of course), but the road to the Cup is certainly for the taking.  If Anderson stays hot, who knows.

^stranger things have happened, that's for sure!! I live in Ottawa, but am no Sens fan... found them boring when Jacques Martin coached them & now the same with Boucher  :rofl:

If they get by Pittsburgh, I don't see them taking Anaheim or Nashville though... mind you, I didn't think they'd get past the Bruins either  :banghead:

If Nashville makes it to the finals, they're likely taking the cup. Which is good, they're one of the few American teams I like because they have a pretty good and passionate fan base.

Well that's it.  I thought they'd probably lose to BOS.....and NY.....and now PIT.   

Still I agree that ANA or NSH are going to be the favs in the final.

Yeah cant really hold off pittsburg for that long with the amount of fire power they got.  That no look pass across to Kessel was amazing

I must admit that I'm looking forward to seeing (hoping to see) PKSubban take the Cup to visit the Montreal hospital that he donated all that money to.  Wouldn't that be a fun time!

Interesting to see an American team consistently sell out their arena in the playoffs whereas Ottawa seems to have a ton of unsold seats.  Actually, not interesting.  It's embarrassing.  That's one great team and the lack of support is sad to see.  :(

I suppose the fact that the arena is not in Ottawa might have something to so with it.  ::)

Good game.   Hope springs external.  Then let's move the team to Hamilton where it belongs.  ;D

After a dismal 1st period, nice to see the Sens pull off the W and force game 7.

Just so we're clear, Anderson is the one who pulled off that win.

^um yeah! Kinda like Nashville didn't deserve to win last night, the Sens weren't deserving tonight, they clearly weren't the better team, outshot 23-10 in the 2nd.

Glad to see that Canada still has a horse in the race.  The trek to Kanata from DT is definitely a deterrent for me -- whether for a game or a concert.  Must be hell if you live in Orleans...

The trek tonight wouldn't have been too bad. I booted out to the 19th tee driving range ~6:15ish & it only took me 12mins from Maitland. Then on my way home ~7:35ish the 417 West at Moodie was all clear. Seemed like the 4pm westbound traffic was 20 times worse!

There was a car accident on Scott and Parkdale that took out a L&P pole and caused a black-out in the Tunney's Pasture area -- tonnes of intersections without traffic lights working, caused gridlock all the way back to DT.
