Sens Take Game One, 6-3

I'll leave the game recaps to the professionals, but here are some random thoughts and stats about tonight's Game One Senators win that the mainstream journos might not get to:

The game was a blowout, nowhere near as tight as the final score, but would have been worse if the Sens had cashed in on either of two lengthy 5-on-3 power play opportunities.
In my series preview, I asked, "If the kid struggles, will Coach Michel Therrien go to Joselyn Thibault?" I guess we have our answer, though I'd be shocked if Marc-Andre Fleury wasn't back in between the pipes to start Game Two.
If Blur gets royalties for every time "Song 2" is played (you know... the "woo hoo" song), they were loving this game.
Pens blueliner Mark Eaton blocked a Mutombo-esque eight shots on goal
Pittsburgh's faceoffs, with the exception of Sidney Crosby (who won 65% of his draws), were horrific, with Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Erik Christensen and Maxime Talbot combining to go 13-for-49 (27%). On the flip side of the draws, Mike Fisher and Antoine Vermette were a combined 32-for-46 (70%) for Ottawa. Keep an eye on this going forward.
Even with his late power play assist, Evgeni Malkin was largely invisible, registering neither a shot on goal nor a hit. He was also 2-for-18 on faceoffs (including 1-for-14 against Fisher and Vermette), which is obviously ridiculously bad.
Pitt's Sergei Gonchar had 13:45 of ice-time on the power play alone.
Sens captain Daniel Alfredsson came out and led by example, taking two more shots on goal in the first period than the entire Penguins team (six to four).
Michel Ouellet finished the game with a plus-1 rating, the only Pen in the black. Well done, Michel.
