Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Sens. Saturday Oct. 3 Extraordinary Delicious Chocolate Cheesecake Edition

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Nice one by Ceci.

 

[Senscore]

Ceci. Hope that kid can break through this year.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Turris 4 assists

 

[Blarginator]

Ceci is going to have a great year if he keeps using that bomb from the point.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

At the very least, we have some good shooters and great goaltending this year.

 

[Pronto]

People you have to calm down about Ryan, he's had a bad game, everyone does.

A bad camp maybe?

 

[DylanSensFan]

Ceci is going to have a great year if he keeps using that bomb from the point.

I've previously commented in other threads that this could be Ceci's year to take a few big steps forward.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Sometimes it feels like Ryan plays with blinders on.

 

[Othello*]

People you have to calm down about Ryan, he's had a bad game, everyone does.

He's been bad for a while now

 

[Benjamin]

People you have to calm down about Ryan, he's had a bad game, everyone does.

Its not that he's having a bad game. It's that his camp looks like he's continuing from how he finished last season.

He could easily just not being taken preseason cereal.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Aside from Karlsson, Methot and Ceci, we don't have any other legit NHL defender. Wier has been brutal last couple games. Boro not cutting it.

I agree with whoever said Gryba-Wideman woulda been excellent bottom pair.

I think if we wanna solve the last top 4 spot internally, it's gonna be Cowen making huge steps in his development.

 

[Blarginator]

I've previously commented in other threads that this could be Ceci's year to take a few big steps forward.

I'm with you on this one. I still think he can end up a top pairing defenseman. A solid top 4 at the very least.

 

[2CHAINZ]

If Ryan spent all summer training his explosiveness then I think next summer he should eat mcdonalds three times a day and smoke 2 packs of cigarettes instead maybe it will have reverse effects.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

People you have to calm down about Ryan, he's had a bad game, everyone does.

I haven't seen a lot of games in preseason: first game against Buffalo, Winnipeg and the last two against the Scabs

Ryan has only looked good against Winnipeg and we blew a 3-0 lead

People are worried because he has looked straight up bad

I think the fact that Michalek is a pretty solo kind of guy and Zibanejad is out of shape is not helping though, Ryan could use help

 

[L'Aveuglette]

People you have to calm down about Ryan, he's had a bad game, everyone does.

He's playing the EXACT same way he did down the stretch last season where he was awful at best. I don't think it's that crazy to be panicking a little.

 

[DylanSensFan]

MacArthur is not getting many minutes tonight. Is he injured or something?

 

[2CHAINZ]

MacArthur is not getting many minutes tonight. Is he injured or something?

Ya Cowen has had real little ice time to I was wondering the same thing about Cowen.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

MacArthur is not getting many minutes tonight. Is he injured or something?

yup precautionary

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

We need some D zone coverage practice; so the plan is that when we get it in our own end we will just cough it up to them , and try to recover.

 

[DylanSensFan]

He's playing the EXACT same way he did down the stretch last season where he was awful at best. I don't think it's that crazy to be panicking a little.

Ryan had a huge summer. Just relax and let this team find itself. It was a tough stretch run last season, and then a long summer.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Im really digging neil's play this game.

 

[Blarginator]

MacArthur is not getting many minutes tonight. Is he injured or something?

He collided with Fraser. Out for precautionary reasons.

 

[DylanSensFan]

I'm with you on this one. I still think he can end up a top pairing defenseman. A solid top 4 at the very least.

I think it will be he and Cowen on the second line by seasons end. Then Wiercioch can go to the 3rd pair where he belongs.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Ryan had a huge summer. Just relax and let this team find itself. It was a tough stretch run last season, and then a long summer.

I don't see the problem with pointing out how bad he looks in camp.

With how he played for half the season last year, I was expecting him to come ready to play, and so far I haven't seen anything to make me think he could have a rebound year.

I am really hoping he finds his game quickly.

 

[CanadienShark]

What will your 3 on 3 look like this season? I think groups of:

Stone - Ryan - Karlsson
Hoffman - Turris - Ceci
Zibanejad - XXXX - Wiercoch

would be best. Just curious.
