Some resident of leaf hamlet suggested here about two weeks ago that the Senators had been playing "bottom feeders" for far too long thus inflating their win column. The implication was that, facing the upper echelon teams, they would not fare so well; that they would falter...

First up: Penguins @ SenatorsYoda put his bet in at 5-1 Pens. Game ends 6-2 Sens. You almost had it Yoda, but for the typo and the fat finger!So the Sens beat the Stanley Cup champs (with Crosby, Malkin & Fleury). Can you Leafers spin that somehow to show the Sens were...

All the junk being tossed around about how Neil should fight Rosehill but not Schenn despite the bad on-ice decision that would be had me inspired to develop a "Fight Decider" matrix. Pretty simple: I looked at the guys on each team who had at least 2 major penalties...

Looking forward to tomorrow's match against the Flyers with Ray in net. TSN has a short spot up about the reunion.He's been playing well overall - a nice 0.922 SV% with only 10 goals allowed in his past 6 games. For old time's sake.

I don't for a second think that I'm anything more than a fan with too much spare time on his hands. So while I'll try and tell you that I believe Gustavsson looks like the Leafs best goalie since Joseph was stealing playoff games from the Sens, here's a second opinion...
