I too thought the Sens did well, or at least well enough, at faceoffs in that game, but I guess it was more that they did well in the ones they needed/wanted to win. Smith was the victim of a couple of non-calls during the game, and from where we were sitting Kadri was pulling a classic Sundin facewash/shot over the shoulder of a linesman on Smith but didn't want anything to really happen. If it had, Smith would have dropped the little Leafer. Smith may not be scoring, but he's doing a good job at centering the checking/shutdown-their-top-line line and they were effective against the Leafs as they have been against other teams in the past while.

As for my voice.....well, the dog looked at me this morning like he was thinking "Dude, turn off the autotune on your voice; are you trying to sound like Pan or something?"
