In a game marred by inexplicable coaching choices, the Sens still prevailed.
It was the game when fans started wondering if Dave Cameron was going full Paulrus. Paul MacLean had made some curious decisions (Chris Neil on Jason Spezza's wing?), but scratching Shane Prince and Colin Greening to play Dave Dziuzynski and Mark Borowiecki on the fourth line topped anything that had been done before. Though as Adnan pointed out, the return of Patrick Wiercioch to the defence meant the decision was probably a net gain.
Only seconds in, Jaromir Jagr got a great scoring chance that Craig Anderson turned aside.
