?Craig Anderson started for the sens last night, which means Robin Lehner is the likely goalie against the Leafs Anderson will start for Ottawa

Reimer has been confirmed as the starter tonight.

Reimer has been confirmed as the starter tonight.

Thanks.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

No problem chief.

Apparently Kulemin is missing the game day skate, that's who Abbot is replacing.

The only good senator is a DEAD SENATOR!

KILL THEM!!! And the TRAITOR GENERAL TOO!

 

[CaptainObvious]

Nice touch on the stream options on the bottom.

 

[Redleaf]

Kulemin would be a substantial loss if he's injured.

 

[CaptainObvious]

Reimer has great stats against Ottawa:

Reimer in home net at skate; expected to start; 8-1-1, 1.69 GAA, .949 sv% career v Sens

Already missing clarkson from our top 9, Kulemin is a tough loss. Hopefully these guys get back before we lose someone else.

Not good....

Nik Kulemin will miss at least the next two weeks with an ankle injury. Blocked a shot at practice yesterday and broke a small bone.

 

[Bonsixx]

And it was a Phaneuf shot! Cue the ~OUTRAGE~!

Tough way to get hurt.  He will be missed, he was very effective in helping to shut down Giroux last game.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

well I've got RaymondBear and BollandBear ready to go for tonight. Also have ClarksonBear ready to go, though I woulda had another couple weeks for that. Oh well. :-\ guess RiellyBear shoulda been the priority.

Hope some of them get a workout tonight!

 

[Stickytape]

Leafs are rested, Ottawa played last night; seems like a good opportunity.

Sucks about Kulemin.  Way to go, Dion!

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

And it was a Phaneuf shot! Cue the ~OUTRAGE~!

At least Dion kept the shot low for a change.

Nicely done.

He put it more diplomatically but it basically echoes what Grabovski said. It comes as no surprise. That line of Grabo-Kuli-Mac was Ron Wilson favourite line and he made them and they rewarded him with great results which resulted in more trust an love from Wilson. Randy Carlyle had an different idea from which guys like Kadri has profited tremendously.

Look, Kuli was able to adjust to Carlyle and does not seem to complain. Ron Wilson did not particularly liked Cody Franson, Carlyle made him perheps the best D on our team. Wilson liked Gardiner, not sure how it is with Carlyle. I mean, this is kind of natural.

Eh, there aren't many employees who would have the most glowing things to say about their boss after they were essentially just let go.

Good article. Interesting comments. Sounds like Carlyle will have a short lifespan, if that commentary is true. However, like he said, some people take things differently.
I can recall JR saying that the holiday was over once Carlyle got hired...
