Good evening everyone and welcome to the live blog of tonight's All Canadian match up between the Edmonton Oilers and the Ottawa Senators LIVE from Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.
by SensChirp at 11/10/2009 10:19:00 PM
Tonight marks the first time the two teams have met since the off season blockbuster that wasn't involving the disgruntled Dany Heatley. Sens fans will get a glimpse of the red hot Dustin Penner first hand.

Ottawa is coming off a crushing defeat at the hands of the Devils and will be hoping for a much better performance with the Oilers in town.

I hope that Dean Brown and Gary Galley have "Show Up and Shut Up" as one of the keys to the game.

My brother chris wheten... Has a patrick swayze hairdo! GO OILERS GO!! Heatley you douche bag!

SC, I wonder what your thoughts are to CC playing Cheechoo with two faster linemates. Do you think it might actually make him look or be faster. I personally think it is a dumb idea by the coach. (lets put someone who is having trouble keeping up with two people who are faster then his prior linemates)
by CanuckAbroad
I just wanted to comment how crappy ESPN360 is. When you click on the Ottawa Senators game it shows Dany Heatley in a Sens uniform.

GO SENS GO!!!

any opinion about cheech playing with faster players not helping him SC?
by CanuckAbroad
Yea I really dont like the way they've handled Cheechoo thus far. I've said it before but I would like to see him skate a regular shift with Fisher and Alfredsson. Then put Spezza and Kovalev together with Michalek.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:11:21 AM
yeah, he needs some gritty players around him, not speed demons.
by CanuckAbroad
Agreed

The battle of French Canadian Goalies tonight.
by Engin
Yep just the third start of the season for Deslauriers. Khabibulin has started 15 of the Oilers 17 this season.

Ryan O'Marra has arrived at the rink in Ottawa. #Oilers
by NHL_Oilers via twitter
Ryan O'Marra was just called up by the Oilers and will dress this evening.

SC, heard Corvo might be available from Carolina. Any thoughts as to whether Ottawa might take it up?
by CanuckAbroad
Really dont think so. He didnt really leave here on great terms last time and I cant really see Ottawa wanting to bring him back.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:18:30 AM
He was solid here, while here though. Too bad then. Need something better on the back end.
by CanuckAbroad
Sure looks like a few guys could be finding their way out of Carolina though. They have had an awful start to the season and might have to consider moving a few veteran contracts.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:19:40 AM
Hopefully signing Legace was the right move for them to do something in the pipes.
by CanuckAbroad
The Oilers hold a 12-8-4-1 record against the Senators all time. Edmonton has struggled against Ottawa as of late though posting a 1-5-1-1 mark since 2002.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:23:55 AM
Go Sens
by RevDale
Oilers have really had trouble scoring as of late. They've been blanked 3 times in their last 8 games and have scored a total of 15 goals over that stretch.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:25:13 AM
Even with the injuries they are struggling through right now, I am still a lil worried. With our penalty woes (20.2 mins/game) I hate to see what their hot pp could do.
by CanuckAbroad
Yea Edmonton has been ravaged by injuries as of late. Hemsky, Souray, Nilsson, Horcoff and Stone are all out of the line up right now.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:26:33 AM
Staying out of the box will definitely be a key for Ottawa. They have had some serious discipline issues as of late and will need to make sure they address that if they are gonna come out on top tonight.
by SensChirp at 11/11/2009 12:27:10 AM
glad your doing this game SC stupid sportsnet and their regional black out bs, Go Sens
