A Series It Is

The Sens battled back from a one-goal deficit three times before Dean McAmmond put Ottawa up over the Ducks for good.  We’ve now got at least a five-game series and I’m sure fans in the Canadian capital wouldn’t mind seeing a game six played there.

Game three gets rough

Early in the third Chris Pronger threw an elbow at McAmmond’s head.  McAmmond needed to be helped off the ice.  No penalty was called on the play, but I’m sure the league will announce a suspension soon.  One-two games is my guess.

Less than a minute later things got messy.  No majors were called, but six players picked up roughing penalties (Corey Perry a double-roughing).
