Before the Puck Drop: Happy Hockey Day in Canada

By -
Today's game kicks off at 2:00pm when the Ottawa Senators will play the Winnipeg Airplanes. We are already through a quarter (basically) of the season and the Senators are just trying to stay above water with Spezza out. So far they have looked alright but with him in the lineup they are a playoff team. Without him they may not be. The Jets have started off the season at 4-5-1 and once again play like they did last year, posting a really good record at home and a terrible record on the road with just one win so far. Lucky for us tonight's game is at Scotiabank place.

Mark Borowiecki was sent down to Binghamton to make room for Mike Lundin. Lundin looked alright in his debut but nothing to brag about. Gotta be happy for a guy like Andre Benoit who finally gets his shot in the NHL as a 29 year old rookie. Other than that I don't foresee any lineup changes as the Senators played pretty well against the HurriStaals. I honestly could not believe that Carolina won that game Ottawa was clearly the better team all night.

The Jets currently own the worst logo and jersey design in the NHL. By FAR! Yes worse than the Ducks brown D thing (honestly wtf is that thing) and worse than the Senators constipated Roman legionnaire.


I get the whole "true north" thing and the jet obviously has to appear somewhere but I have 2 beefs with the logo:
 1. Circles are boring, there is not way to make a circle look cool or interesting. The oilers have a circle and the only reason people like it is because Gretzky wore it 30 years ago. The Pittsburg Steelers have a circle logo and its fucking dumb, only reason people like it is again because it has so much history. And thats it for professional sports. Circles.
2. THE FUCKING PLANE LOOKS LIKE ITS EXPLODING! come on thats ridiculous. At least we all know that these Jerseys/Logos are only here for another 5 years so that the owners can bring back the original designs and sell a shit load of Jerseys. Again.

Enjoy Hockey Day in Canada.

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

I'm not going to get sucked into the whole Friday morning 6 points out of a playoff spot, game against the Leafs on a back to back storyline today. No way. I stand by my eulogy of the 19/20 season. I will admit this was awesome: Beautiful classic two pad stack from the great Carey Price pic.twitter.com/piw3ZDA42P — That's Hockey Talk (@ThatsHockeyTalk) February 7, 2020 But I'm still not getting sucked into this. The Canadiens have now won 8 of their last 11 games... — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Nope, don't care, I have already declared this team dead. Carey Price has a .924 save percentage since Dec. 1. Since Jan. 1 it’s .937. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Okay okay, but if we can't score does it really matter anyway?
