The Sens did not do too well last night. They ended up losing 4-0, but actually I don’t think the score accurately reflects the game. It was 2-0 for most of it, and I think the Sens were in it the whole time. Those of us who have followed the team closely through the season know that in fact that was a pretty good effort for them. Not too many bad mistakes. They just need to rediscover their scoring touch. Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is still questionable in my mind and he wasn’t really tested last night. Gerber, on the other hand, played very well! I was shocked.

My favourite part of the game was Heatley and Crosby yapping at each other when Crosby was in the penalty box and Heatley was standing outside it. I wish they’d been miked.

The worst part of the game was Anton Volchenkov taking a puck to the forehead. He bled all over the ice and had to leave the game. Apparently he wanted to come back but his head was so swollen he couldn’t get his helmet back on … ! And he still wanted to play. I swear the guy is not fully human. He’s monstrous!

Anyway, nothing I saw in the game has made me think the Sens are in any way out of it yet. I will be returning to Ottawa for the summer in about 10 days so I just bought myself a ticket to game 6!! Now, boys, you get out there and make sure there is a game 6 for me to attend (or win it in 5).
