Sens at Land’s End

Judging by the selection of post titles I’ve seen from my fellow Sens bloggers, which range in tone from sad to … let’s go with colourful, I am the only one who enjoyed that game. Both the Jackets and the Sens obviously took my words to heart when I said I hated to see my teams give up a lot of goals. The Jackets clearly deserved the win tonight, but I didn’t think the Sens looked too bad. Well … okay, they were actually pretty bad, but that was partly awful luck (anyone else cursing Mike Fisher’s stick?) and at least they didn’t embarrass themselves on the scoresheet. On the plus side, I thought Alex Auld played well. The penalty kill also looked decent, though it’s likely that can mostly be attributed to the Jackets’ terrible power play. All in all, while it wasn’t what you’d call a thrilling game, it wasn’t horrible either.

Fine, I clearly like the Blue Jackets a little too much. But how can I resist little Stevie Mason, even if he is thwarting the awesomeness of Dany Heatley and totally denying the Sens?
