Posted by Gord Wilson on April 14, 2008 Greetings, everyone, from Scotiabank Place, site of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarter-final series between the Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins. A series that Pittsburgh leads 2-0 following 4-0 and 5-3 wins in Pittsburgh last week. Here in Ottawa, the Senators are clearly hoping their hometown fans can provide an extra little boost to a lineup that could use all the help it can get. Undermanned, the Senators got some good news today in that Jason Spezza will play tonight. He saw limited ice time in the third period of Friday's game and didn't practice with the club over the weekend, but he took the morning skate today and declared himself ready to go. And of course, there's been much speculation here in the rink, and likely now throughout the city, about the possible return of captain Daniel Alfredsson. He apparently skated yesterday and it will be decided later today if he'll suit up for tonight's game. He didn't skate with his teammates this morning, but was at the rink for treatment. As I said in my game preview for the big screen tonight, we'll see soon enough. Bryan Murray ended Friday's game in Pittsburgh with these line combinations. They will be, of course, subject to change tonight... 15-20-61... 10-37-25... 71-19-28... 5-58-27. If 11 plays, then put names into a hat and go from there. Now, for your viewing pleasure, here are some behind-the-scenes pictures I've managed to take over the last few days with my camera phone, the LG Shine, all powered by Bell.
Game time tonight is 7 o'clock... hope you're part of the noise. If not in the building, then scream at your TVs or radios. Yours truly and Dave Schreiber with the call, all along the Team 1200 radio network. enjoy the game everyone, cheers, gord |
