Turn around game....

Turn the goalie around game you mean?

 

[JD1]

Two teams looking awful...one of them has to be worse

Watching 2 bad teams is as exiciting as watching 2 good teams play. Same weight class.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

No Zub . Hmmm have to wait on word

Roster moves will be required to get Chabot back on the active roster

Not a bad idea actually: maybe if our goalies have their backs facing the play they will manage to stop a few pucks if only by accident? Worth a try, can't be worse than whatever it is they think they're doing now.

There you go, a Zub injury just as Chabot is back. Sens tradition. We could probably run a roster that's twice the cap and yet never worry about reaching that cap.

Ottawa should try the Zamboni guy who beat the Leafs.

maintenance day .. so far

 

[Alex1234]

Just lose
At least this team could accomplish something
We know they are good at it

If Zub is in they are Pinto away from full roster
Let’s see if they can win at a 2nd wildcard pace now hahahaha

 

[SENATOR]

What we need is a huge PP improvement. Stutzle has to play off wing on the right side, Batherson on the left. Tkachuk bumper position and Giroux. Brannstron or Chychrun with a better shot should join a 1 PP unit instead of Sanderson. More skills on the right positions should save a lot of energy and players could stay longer then one minute. As of right now Norris is useless on the PP due to the shoulder problems.

PK has to employ the right personal. Kelly is useless, not skating or even trying to cover the points. If he is not even good for PK should be send down. The same with Kastelic. PK pairs should be Stutzle-Greig and Norris-Giroux. We have the worst PK by far in NHL. It is embarrassing.

Joseph?

 

[Sun God Nika]

If the sens win this game they are 3 in 4… witch should bring a little hope back if they lose ….

Joseph?

You are right
And he is an important cog
But 1 or 2 guys missing isnt an excuse anymore

I agree that the PP could have some changes made.

Giroux on the half wall and Norris on the other seems like a good idea.

Man, Jacques is just one big breath of fresh air.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Two teams on the road to a lottery pick….

or NFL games (some) with playoff implications?

looks like Sens game will be the flip in during commercials again.

[UglyPuckling]

An epic battle for last place in the Eastern Conference. NFL games are tempting as well.

Batherson on the left side off wing. That's what I've been saying is an issue. Last year we had DeBrincat in that position and it worked better. I'd put Norris in the bumper and Tkachuk on the goal line

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I just want to see the guys (especially the young core guys) pay attention to details. Do the little hings needed to win games. Finishing checks, battling along the boards, working as a unit instead of individuals. That sort of thing. Get some better habits going.

Winning or losing is a moot point for the rest of the year. It's about how we play the games form now til April.

8 Hours to gO

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I wonder what the games/days would work out to if they put Joseph on LTIR retroactively

Last game was Dec 15 ... missed 6 games ; 7 after today... of required 10; 30 days would end mid January

 

[Larionov]

Chartier is a replacement level fourth liner. I know that DJ loved him, but I think that Jacques will have him slotted appropriately, i.e. on the way to Belleville as soon as we have a full roster. Chartier = Gambrell - they are basically the same player.
