Saint-Pascal healer of old wounds...ours and his...will have his hands full once again with our incomplete DEFENCE on Thursday against Tampa.
Facing Lacavalier, the French Knight and St Louis, who is really Lucifer in hockey shoulder pads, this will truely be a battle of the Holy Titans from Quebec...Alexandre Picard will be thrown into the breach with his stout partner, Big Country, to stem the tide. (At least they don't have Prospal anymore.) Forget Stamkos and Malone...it's Tanguay and Veilleux we have to watch, these guys think they have returned to God's country.
Note: Downie and his hot shot 4th line are in for a dose of their own medicine!
Note 2: Meszaros is feeling the pressure that the big money brings!
Note 3: Nittimaki is Sens meat...always has been.
Note 4: We beat these guys on the Power Play...we're pretty even 5 on 5.
Note 5: Ya weren't allowed to say a decat of the beads but you were allowed to ask the big Fella for your best performance!
Note 6: These guys are tied with Washington and us...it's time to put everyone in their rightfull place.

"It's the Power Play!...CiCi.
Let Jason get his own PP with Picard and Shannon on the points, big #9 and Neil in front.
The number "one" PP should be the "PUP" with Kuba for reinforcement...mental, with Fish in front, Alf on the loose lurking and "Kovy" on his wrong wing down low just givin' 'er!
It's all about the Power Play...we got the pieces...ya gotta make it work or we are gone...and you are gone!
PS: Alexandre was the only PP point man to set up a clean one timer to the down low man from the face off circle... in all those PPs last night!
PPS: To D. Brennan...FYI... the "Plusqueparfait" of "give 'er" is "just givin' 'er!"

Poise!
This reminded me of when we had the big team and Pittsburg were the young pups and we would win by just holding the puck and burying our chances while being out hustled.
1) When you are 36 years old, ya lead by example, you hold the puck, don't give it away and score when ya gets your chance. (We have two in that category!)
2) The "Pup" gets his shot with Kuba Thursday night...Alex's team leading +5...Campy's -3.
3) Phillips should be relieved of all thoughts of Offence...CiCi this is your job to make this correction.
4) Pascal was still OK! Our number one penalty killer! Two bad bounces!
5) Regan will help...his speed...he caries the 3rd line.
6) Power play...what American Leaguer schemed that dog's breakfast...put Kovy on his wrong wing down low and feed him till he pukes!
7) Leave the fourth line alone!
8) Home game, you dictate the match ups...start the 4th line, that was brilliant, then you choose!
9) Practice...leave 'em, the lines, the same...cash your chances...take it to the game!

Enough with the taunts and snide comments!
The locals (Our Ottawa Press Corps.) cannot give Alexandre Picard, a genuine compliment so they say stuff like how tough he is playing beside Matt Carkner...if I give you this gentleman to play with you'd think you were "KingKong too!" Watch the game report what you see that's all I ask.
Went to the game, had to no TV, sat right behind Mr. Elliott, who played a nice game, big player this man, tall too, you keep forgetting how big physically this man is. A starter in a back up role...that's OK!
Alexandre Picard, next to Carkner, the best story on the SEN's DEFENCE so far. The Plus Minus, the Points, the ice time are all good ...but it's the confidence, the puck control, yes even "the first pass". Note the forwards are not "blowing the zone" on either Alexandre or Matt...they are waiting...setting up...then they go together.
PS: Goalies win the games! DEFENCE trigers the Offence.

An American League DEFENCE!
For the benifit of all you guys who don't know the difference between our Defence Corps. and an NHL group...and you know who you are: Milks; Anonymous 4:34; Gordie Wilson; SLC; Nichols; G.N., Pynch; Duff and many more too numerous to mention.
Note: 1) the "Nuts" of your DEFENCE has not changed from last year, you have added Carkner from the "A" and Karlsson from Frolunda=the "A".
2) What has changed...you have added a spectacular goalie and a couple of forwards with the speed and the "will" to back check but this just happens to be the difference between the A and the "SHOW!"
Note: For your information Alexandre Picard, #45, who Tampa wanted to retain; twenty minutes of ice, plus 2, 1 point, has more ice time and has out played Campoli (who Islanders allowed to leave) the last two games.
Note 2: Watch the man play his position, he's the only one we got who knows where he's supposed to be...in front of our net. Alex knows when your under the gun you go up the boards but you still complete the pass to our guys not theirs. Ya force your man wide to the boards and then track him behind the net but you don't let him come out toward the net and make a play.
Note 3: Chris Phillips is our leader back there but a defencive D-man cannot lead the group contrary to what you and Gordie think...we still need an offencive Stud back there; in time we may grow one but he's not here yet. The Sens D-Corps. is still out of the correct pecking order.
Note 4) Philippé is not this man either!
So don't blame me and don't put words in my mouth, your goalie has stollen two games for you against the door mats let's see what we got against the big boys???

Jason...Enough is enough!
It's time Gentlemen please!!!
Jason, time is up, no more passes to "nowhere"! You know where Nicky Foligno will be...in front of the net and Nilan is blowing down the wing on his way to the corner. Forget all this "in the air...through the legs" bullsh&t...find the passing lane, leave it on the ice and complete the pass. You are like a quarterback, who has no confidence in his recievers... lug it, hold it and complete the shortie!
Both your wingers have speed and skill, it's the CENTERMAN's job to make it happen.
In case you haven't noticed both your wing men are exceptional two way guys (defenders) because of their speed and smarts, CiCI is trying to free you up from your new found defencive patroling, they can't come right out and say it but they want you up ice making the other team "retreat to defend". So you will not be throwing anymore body checks (you don't know how to do it!)...you will not be killing penalties (you do not know how to do it!)...
Remember, "Jason knows Offence", I'm paying you 7 mill to "dazzle" me, you are still one of the best in the business with the puck...do your thing!

And I thought the "Messiah" would be a D-man!
I thought the "Messiah" would be a D-man...it looks like I was wrong on two counts!
1) The gentleman lurking behind the "Tools of Ignorance" is a sight for sore eyes...he doesn't get 'em all but he stops the Big ones...the Important one...the "Gamers!"...#33 the King...Le Roy...our very own Super Star French Goalie...I'd even bring up Thomas Kudelka for 10 games to provide even more down low in close protection just for now!
2) It just might be a tad early yet but in #39 Carkner and #65 Karlsson we may have a Stud Combo...not as good as an all in One Super Stud type but the best thing this DEFENCE has seen since the "Big Z!"
Note: A little "O" & a little "D" from each man individually.
My last game as a goalie I faced Wayne Thomas in the other net...two of his forwards were Ellis and Walton...it was all over...but my dad, my brother and my cousin were all good goal tenders...technicians all...everyone of these fellows would step aside to watch Pascal do his "Magic!" I think we got us a "Goalie!"
