Met Clarke over the summer. One of the nicest people I've ever met. Happy he's back on the ice

Zetterberg should've gotten 5 and a game for crushing Boro's head into the boards from a behind. Think the league will suspend him a game and make him miss his 1000th for the last game at the Joe?

Karlsson has to get some award for this season. The man is absolutely amazing in every aspect of his game.

Good to see McArthur back, but I get anxious when he's on the ice.

Were there health updates on him over the months? Or was it just like a "surprise he's back" because that is the premonition i got.

come on now, that's a little excessive. 2 minutes was fine, he's not a dirty player and nobody was hurt.

Loved seeing Mac back out on the ice but was disappointed that White was the odd man out. This teams love affair with its aging vets is hurting the team. Chris Kelly contributes absolutely nothing. With Mac back in the lineup I fear that White won't be slotted back in unless another injury occurs.

Hoping that Karlsson's injury was minor but it sure didn't look that way as he hobbled off after the 2nd star selection.

Lots of great stories all around, loved seeing Mac back, and Karlsson coaching the team on from the bench (here's hoping he is not seriously injured)
My vote is to shut him down until the playoffs, it may affect our seeding slightly but I would rather that he heal up as much as possible for the big games which start soon.

Plus, it will stop him from catching and passing Burns in the D points race for this year, which would make Burns' likely win a little easier to take for Sens fans, despite EK finishing ahead of him in points, and pretty much every defensive statistic.

Here's hoping the Sens clinch against the Broons and that Marchandrat gets somewhere in the 4-5 games suspension range.... he had to get that dirty play in probably cuz he's thinking he might only sit for one, maybe two that the Broons have left and come back rested for the playoffs....

probably wanted to keep up his rep and get some rest at the same time....

I find this kind of funny, Karlsson lost the Norris last year because everyone said he was too offensive. This year he has a much more well rounded game and yet Burns is going to win for the same reason Karlsson lost last year.... interesting
