Well son of a gun, Don knows what he's talking about. I always thought it was "kitty-bar the door".
Meaning
'Katy (or Katie) bar the door' means take precautions; there's trouble ahead.
Origin
This phrase is little used outside the USA. It may or may not have originated there. The first known use in print of Katy bar the door with the meaning of 'trouble is in store' is in James Whitcomb Riley's poem When Lide Married Him, 1894:
Tough to watch the Sens and their 1-3-1. Thats exactly how they have to play to stay in the series but it doesnt exactly make for captivating hockey. Their biggest problem is that they generate almost nothing threatening offensively at 5on5 while they are in that shell.

I can't get behind this style of hockey. This is the same crap Boucher pulled in Tampa Bay and that eventually led to the team turning on him. I can somewhat understand that play if they had a lead but it was a scoreless tie. How exactly did Boucher expect his team to win the game generating zero offensive chances? It's garbage hockey. Garbage for the fans and garbage for the league.

Would love to see Nashville vs. Ottawa in the finals, see if Laviolette does that again on the biggest stage.
