If you're anywhere near Geneva, you can come watch it at my house.

I'm not familiar with Viaplay but I don't really see the point in paying money for a single game just to have to watch in on my computer anyway.

Hm, much appreciated but 1000 km also seems like a biiiit far..

Ottawa's gonna have like 12 games in hand on the rest of the Atlantic by the time they play their next game after Sweden lol.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Dimensions? International or NHL / North American?

Heard in an interview today, on local radio (TSM 1200) that the ice surface is NHL dimensions.

Is there an alumni game happening in relation to our series in Sweden? Getting kinda worried about Chris Phillips' last instagram post if not...

Not sure, but they are having one for the Outdoor Game in December.

If we can come back and not be too far behind in point totals we'll be in great shape. It's great when your team is in the hunt near the top on points with a bunch of games in hand.

I understand but if you want to watch Viaplay on tv just use their tv-app.

Like I wrote in another post:

We need better goaltending
3.13 /.896 is just not good enough


GO SENS GO

 

[OmniSens]

Most of those losses came with a game point, in regulation time!

The loser point is still a loss.

 

[Super Cake]

The NHL can go suck a big fat one.

6 day break while watching other Atlantic teams pick up points. Then another 5 day break.

These should have been preseason games.

My interest in this league is decreasing year by year.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Why are the Sens going to Sweden? or more to the point why is the NHL sending teams to Sweden mid season?

Cause the NHL is a stupid f***ing league that is getting dumber and dumber by each passing year.

What is the Stupid NHL's rationale for doing it?

Not enough Swedes attending games.

Sens fans thought the commute to Kanata was bad

Looking at the lineup with trading for Brassard and Duchene, the top 6 is pretty heavy on the left hand shots. I wonder how much of that was done to maximize Karlson's skill set. As a right handed defensemen its a lot easier to make those long passes to a left handed player than a right handed player. Not that it's at all hard for Karlsson but it takes quite a bit of skill to be able to handle hard passes on the backhand, Spezza was great at it. It could make the transition a little smoother, given how Boucher seems to prefer the puck movers playing the right side . It also creates a situation where you can make duo's with your top 3 centres and top 3 wingers. Duchene-Ryan/Stone, Brassard-Stone/Ryan and Pageau-Hoffman.

It was ever thus. Don't forget that Turris and Zibby, the players traded for Brassard and Duchene, also shoot right. The Senators have been heavy on right-shooting forwards since the days of the pizza line. I don't think that it's an intentional thing on our part; just how it worked out.

When the Brassard trade went down, there was talk that Ottawa wanted a left handed centre to play with Ryan. It's certainly something thats considered.

Brass and Duche (haha) both shoot left.. I would still prefer to have Hoffman in the top 6 on LW if need be regardless of which way the C shoots.

Do you mean left-hand shots? Now we have Duchene, Brassard, Hoffman, and Smith/Dzingel as lefties.

Yes I do, thank you.

I would as well but we all know how much Boucher likes Hoffman with Pageau. Looks like Duchene will get to start with Hoffman as a winger but once Ryan is back I'm not sure how likely that is.

I hope Hoff and Duche light it up , Ryan goes back with Brass and Stone; and I would try Dzingel with Hoff and Duche... Smith Pageau Pyatt should be a very good 3rd line
