Pre-Game Talk: Hawks in the SENS Den, Tues 7:30 pm on TSN

[Engineer]

Glad I went out for a friends birthday at the bar instead of watching this one.... 8-2 against a slumping Hawks team! Ouch.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He's trying not to throw Andy under the bus. Comes off as delusional

Doesn’t have to throw him under the bus, but to say he played unbelievable made me laugh.

id be interested in Ward or khudobin as goalies in free agency

Gonna go with 3 goalies next year?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[Langdon Alger]

This team has been blown out way too often this season.

 

[Engineer]

So how many "untradeables" are we at now?

Phaneuf
Ryan
Burrows
Duchene for all real intents and purposes
Anderson
Condon?

List keeps growing.

Before we get into a definition war, by untradeable I mean where we don't have to pay to get rid of the contract (ala Greening, Cowen etc), or where we would completely get hosed in value (Duchene).

 

[L'Aveuglette]

seriously? is that a joke?

you know....I don't know what to say to you.

I told you exactly what happened on that 3rd goal. go back and read it. you disagreed. Poulin said the exact same thing in intermission. he just said it again on sports centre.

I'm truly sorry you don't seem to understand. it must be difficult to be a fan of something you don't understand. then again I guess it doesn't matter if you don't get that you don't get it.

I prefer to stay out of the mud so I won't be responding to you again on this. good night.

You must be the poster on here who is most full of himself and it's not even close. You must be f-ing infuriating to speak with in real life. The mud you prefer to stay out of is all of your own making buddy boy.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Gonna go with 3 goalies next year?

The 'ol 10-7-3 approach. Could fit into Boucher's system.

 

[solidprospect]

Better than 0 goalies. As crappy as they have been playing i don't think their contracts are untradeable.

They gave up so much to get Duchene, but the ball is in his court. Does he want to stay? Will he commit to us long term? We’ll find out in the summer when contract negotiations open up.

 

[Rand0m]

The new year seemed so promising and despite the shot count, Sens looked good in the first. Then Andy let in that terrible 2nd goal and the game was over. Brutal.

Goaltending should be this teams #1 priority. Anderson is one of the worst goalies in the league... what the hell happened to him?

Do we want him to stay?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Do we want him to stay?

He’s been much better lately. Depends on how much he wants I guess, but yeah I think we probably do.

 

[BonkTastic]

At this point, if Duchene goes, Karlsson is probably following him out the door.

Game wasn’t over at 2-0.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Does anybody else think Guy Boucher kind of looks like Steve Carell?

Nope

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Nope

How about now?

 

[Engineer]

Can't say I follow the logic here.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I think we need him to stay .. there is no one to take his place.. we gave up a ton to get him.. I just don't know who replaces him internally or via trade ..

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Game wasn’t over at 2-0.

Apparently it was. No team could possibly come back from a softie like that from their goalie.

Since when was it that hard to replace a 40 pt forward?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Apparently it was. No team could possibly come back from a softie like that from their goalie.

Especially a team that just came back from a 3 goal deficit in a recent game.

Man, I didn’t realize hockey games were over at 2-0 in the second period now, why didn’t somebody tell me sooner?

I don't think the Senators even can trade Duchene. If he won't sign in the summer, they have to keep him through the season if they win it is enough to change his mind.

I'm not commenting on whether or not it made sense at the time, but looking at it right now, with what they gave up for Duchene, there's no way they can trade him away for futures. The optics of it just don't work.
