I have no clever lead in for a Hockey Night in Canada game between the Ottawa Senators and the Philadelphia Flyers. I don't know if it's just the fact that we're 20 games into the season, or the fact that Jared Cowen was back in the lineup, or something else, but I wasn't really up for the game.
The game didn't take long to get going. Alex Chiasson had an early hit on Scott Laughton that to me looked like Laughton put himself in a vulnerable position, but ended with Laughton going head-first into the boards.
