I like whites comments. Gonna be hard to trade. Chabots best bud. And he gets it.

Kudos to Whitey for his announcement of getting the vaccine. Clearly has a good head on his shoulder and isn't an anti-vaxxer

I wonder who's idea it was for JBD to room with Chabot. If coaches planted that seed or if Chabot jumped on the opportunity to help a guy ease into the team.

Glad to hear Pinto say he knows he's got to win a roster spot next season. I think we took for granted JBD getting in for Brown with no Chabot too. I think he's aware he's got a lot of work to do relative to his performance at UND where as Pinto has slipped right into the groove of things.

Alex Formenton- "I want to get faster".

Everyone:

 

[playasRus]

Surprising to hear Daccord say that the goalies were close with one another considering there were 6 of them, and goalies are always described as loners.

I guess 6 new guys to the roster are going to find some comfort in eachother though.

Wonder if Chabot takes it as a bit of a slight that Brady is all of a sudden unanimously captain. We forget he's a big part of the leadership group too



Funny to see Brady credit Boedker for helping develop his leadership

Zaitsev also sounds like a stereotypical no BS Russian. "Nikita was it a fun way to finish the season with a win?"
Z: "???Well ya obviously winning is more fun than losing."

 

[Boud]

Formenton wants to get faster.

Lol

 

[swiftwin]

Is 59 Formenton's real number?

If not, I really want him to flip it to 95:

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I just cant wait for Greig, Sokolov and Sanderson to join this team, IMO they are the "second wave" of top young reinforcements that will put this team over the team in a couple years. Not only are they skilled, but they exude everything we are now and try to become, they will bring a powerful leadership component to the one we will already have in place. 2021 picks are just cherry on top.

Mete: Breath of fresh air playing in Ottawa

He was my favorite surprise at the end. Played like a legit top 4 guy and was blowing by the best of skaters while handling himself very well defensively. His composure is stellar. Averaged about 23 minutes of ice time last 5 games. I was big advocate to trade for him in the beginning of the season and he has delivered now more than I would have hoped before.

I'm concerned about Formenton. If he gets any faster he may go back in time.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I want just one player to be like “you know what gord actually nah, it’s not safe to say I’m looking forward to next year, it’s actually real f***ing dangerous to say”

 

[Alf Silfversson]

I'm concerned about Formenton. If he gets any faster he may go back in time.

I'm worried about that too. If he goes back in time does he lose his veteran status and have to start in the AHL again next year?

It's a tough call.

Is it safe to say that Gord's vocabulary is not huge?

It's a tough call.

Eugene is all over this idea, it would extend his time on an ELC!

 

[JD1]

They seem like a pretty excited bunch

 

[Crosside]

Senators Brady Tkachuk

Don’t seem to be worried about his extension contract. If I have understand correctly, seem to said that will not be complicated like his brother

 

[Crosside]

Senators Austin Watson

Seem to torn for Chabot for the captaincy. Said both are good choice but Tkachuk less experience

 

[Sun God Nika]

I think Formenton should focus on adding weight it might make him a lil slower but it will help him with processing the game and allowing his hands to catch his speed.

Expect to split time here and he s home. Said his wife love the city. Murray seem really happy here. I hope Seattle not take him. Bring so more experience in the locker room ( winning culture )
