Tonight, the canadian kids line (Kadri-Matthias-Armstrong) show how it's done to the superstars line!

Sure, now Varlamov can shut down Ottawa's offense. Yet in the playoffs, he couldn't even stop a medicine ball.

Good to get the win despite the shot count. Nice job boys, particularly Agent Smith.

Woo! Preissing continues to be one of the best FA signings I've made to date. Nice to see The General get a goal and Holmstrom continuing to make an impact, whether he hits the scoresheet or not.

The stat of the night, however, has to be this:

Attendance: 7476 of 18690 (HSBC Arena)

I know we didn't exactly start off all that well, but cripes!
