That course being...on our way to a high draft pick! Woo-hoo!
Which is a pity really considering how promising this game started out. The Senators had a really strong period, even coming out to a 1-0 lead going into intermission, which frankly was a nice surprise in it of itself since I expected them to get completely mauled. Then, the boys got into penalty trouble, lead mostly by Brian Lee, who had a game he must have wanted to forget. Lee received a double-minor after voicing his displeasure for being called for holding...only about a minute after he had just come out of the box for hooking. You know if the sweet and innocent cherub that is Lee is going to start voicing his displeasure, things must have been REALLY boiling over.
Mike Fisher got the lone goal for Ottawa while Milan Michalek and Patrick Marleau scored for the Sharks. While the boys actually didn't look all that terrible 5-on-5, it was the penalty troubles that came back to bite them. Alex Auld got the start for the Senators and it seems like the bloom on Brian Elliott has worn off. At this point, it's whoever wins is in I suppose. Because that worked so well for us last year.
In his third game with the Senators, Chris Campoli once again looked very strong and I'm beginning to feel very good about this trade. I still miss Dean McAmmond, but purely for sentimental reasons. Another complaint I have is that Jarkko Ruutu, Shean Donovan and Jesse Winchester only saw about 7 minutes of ice time.
Oh well, we all knew this wouldn't last forever. Back to reality for us I suppose.
