Heatley returns to Ottawa GDT

[Urkie]

Okay, just thought I'd make it now. I figure a lot of people are going to be interested to see how the fans react to Heatley. Yes, there will be boo's but how loud will it be?

If the Yashin ordeal was an indication, Scotiabank Place is going to be just as loud as it was then and believe me...it was loud then.

What I do hope is that nobody does anything too stupid. Like throw stuff at Heatley on the ice or whatever. That would be classless.

 

[Urkie]

Btw, Leclaire will be in net for the Sens tonight.

Meet the press, Heatley-style — plus no lineup changes, including Niittymaki, since last game | Working the Corners

Is it just me or did that interview transcript contain a whole bunch of nothing?

It is just me or did that interview transcript contain a whole bunch of nothing?

This interview is much more revealing.

This should be a good game... scratch that, whith how the Sharks have been playing this should be a very frustrating game.

I like watching fans boo people, this should be fun.

 

[Urkie]

I hope the team comes out with an inspired effort for once. The fans are really going to be into the game and it would be very disappointing if the team didn't respond to it.

That might have been the quickest warm-up lap I've seen.

 

[Urkie]

Here we go...LOL!!

 

[naslundfan19]

Karlsson goes ping!

 

[HonusWagner66]

wow niemi has the worst save % in the entire league?

 

[Urkie]

Cmon Sens.

Why are they always so fucking careless with the puck? Every single game it's the same thing.

 

[Slimpikins]

wow niemi has the worst save % in the entire league?

Having a bad start to the year and a shoddy defense is not the recipe for success.

 

[naslundfan19]

Spezza didn't get all of that. Nice pass by Gonchar.

 

[naslundfan19]

Good stop by Niemi on the 2 on 1.

 

[Slimpikins]

Niemi with a good save and Heatley dekes through the D and draws a penalty.

I was hoping that he would get a penalty shot there.

 

[Urkie]

There's the Sens I love

 

[Urkie]

What I really want to know is wtf Ruutu was doing on the ice there? Why?

Last time I checked he's not one of the Sens better PK'ers.

 

[Slimpikins]

Niemi looking solid so far.

 

[Urkie]

Shut the fuck up Pierre. The Spezza line can handle the Thornton line. Who would you rather see against them? Kelly's line? No way.
