Thoughts from 5-2 Win Over Senators

by Brian Monzo on October 4th, 2009 at 10:50 am

Other then the last goal scored by Ottawa with five seconds left, there is not much negative you can say about last nights win.

Here are a few thoughts:

  • -It is straight up scary watching Marian Gaborik.  I’ve never been a ‘big name’ fan, but he is a pure scorer and gets to the net.
  • -They didn’t score last night, but like Joe Micheletti said, the power-play is going to score.
  • -I thought again Michael Del Zotto looked nervous, but after scoring he looked good and was solid on the power-play.
  • -While his skating is as good as it gets, there were two instances where Matt Gilroy got beat for icing — once by Alex Kovalev and another by Jason Spezza, which lead to a goal.
  • -Looking forward to Sean Avery‘s return — mainly because Enver Lisin will add a lot of speed to a fourth line, if that is the role he moves to.
  • -Henrik Lundqvist played unreal, stopping 19 of 20 shots in the 2nd period.
  • -Two games in Brandon Dubinsky is proving his worth of his contract.
  • -Wade Redden and Michal Rozsival have been invisible and at times, I forget they are on the team.
