Game 1 vs Buffalo (Win 4-1): A 60 minute effort, who woulda thought? Honestly, that's all this team needs right now to win. It sounds so simple, yet it seems so hard for them to grasp.
Game 2 vs Minnesota (Win 5-3): You can throw the 60 minute game thing out the window because the Sens only really needed 30 minutes to win this game. With Emery in nets they can actually do it. The SHG near the end leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but a win is a win.
Game 3 vs Philadelphia (Win 3-2(OT)): Another come from behind win! The Sens usually play to the level of their competition and this game was noo exception. The Sens looked every bit as slow as the Flyers, and for the first half of the game looked less skilled. This all changed when Fisher and Alfie managed to tie the game in the second period and after Emery bailed the boys out in the 3rd, Hasek Jr. managed to win the game in OT with a wrist shot from the high slot.
Game 4 vs Florida (Win 6-4): The Sens give up a lead and come back all in the same game! Gary Roberts is still a thorn in this team's side, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Sens uniform for a playoff push. If only Belfour was that bad 2 years ago when he was a Leaf.... oh well. It was an entertaining game with a lot more scoring that I thought would go down, maybe Jacques has changed his game plan. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be working at all.
