Recap Notes: Games like this make the Center Ice purchase well worth it.
The Ottawa Senators fell to the Nashville Predators in a game that saw the Senators score 5 third period goals to help bring the game to OT before Shea Weber decided he had enough.
The Predators entered the third period up 3-0, but then threw defense out the window. The Senators scored three unanswered goals (Campoli, Foligno and Michalek) before Shea Weber broke the tie with his first goal to put the Predators up 4-3.
Late in the third, Jason Spezza decided to show off and completely embarassed about 10 Predators skaters. Pekka Rinne then decided to do his best Vesa Toskala impression and for some unknown, idiotic reason left the net to try to hit Spezza, who dished the puck to a wide open Anton Volchenkov who tied up the game.
Then with just a minute left in the game Ryan Suter scored on a power play to put the Predators ahead as the Senators
But then... with less than 2 seconds left in the game and the Senators short handed Chris Phillips beat Rinne with a backhand to tie the game.
By now Nashville had blown the lead roughly 37 (in a row!?) times and Shea Weber was sick of it. So about half way through the extra period Shea Weber blasted a shot by Leclaire for the victory in what just may have been the best game of this young season.
The Senators welcome the Bruins tomorrow night. With both teams suffering OT losses, this game just might get chippy.
