Pre-Game Talk: Panthers at Senators , Tuesday March 20, 7:30

[Sensinitis]

Smith has been just atrocious.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

I feel like Hoffman is what his doubters thought Kessel would be - elite speed and shot but a mediocre passer.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Dammmmn

I hope he's ok

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

we're still in it

 

[Xspyrit]

Yeah, well everyone has a different definition. For me my post just means that that's what I expect him to become most likely, and if all goes well maybe more. It's in his hands tbh, and he seems to have the character to become something good.

I don’t think you said anything outlandish, I think it’s just the use of the « floor » term that rings some bells. Me too I expect Chlapik to be a 40 pts tweener ala Silfverberg, without saying it will be his floor. He could surprise though and be a 2nd line center. I think his floor is 3rd liner

 

[Cloud]

what's that now...4 goals for Gaborik since the deadline?...not bad for a washed up old guy...

 

[Burrowsaurus]

What happened to our goalies’ Motor skills

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

...ick

 

[Engineer]

lol

 

[Samboni]

Put Andy back in.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Man do our goalies suck this season

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Whoa Crawford giving it to chabot lmao. Good.

 

[solidprospect]

Panthers speed is too much tonight.

 

[wilfred]

What is the attendance tonight wow?

Kessel’s always been praised for his vision and moving the puck to teammates, Hoff doesn’t do that part of hockey.

Kessel the better player in every way

 

[Korpse]

They could use some help too. That’s 5 odd man rushes already. Three 2 on 1’s a result of a player stepping up at a bad time. The commitment to defense hasn’t been there at all this season.

The knock on Kessel going into the draft was that he wasn't able to use his teammates effectively and pass the puck well. It wasn't true whatsoever, but it was a relatively common criticism.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Can't really blame them for losing like this, tbh.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Smith has been just atrocious.

He's got the nice mitts that's for sure.. that backhand chance he had all alone .. you only play it like that if your hands are amazing.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I can't wait to lose the lottery and have Brady Tkachuk on our first line while Rasmus Dahlin is killing it in Arizona.

 

[Xspyrit]

Thanks to the goalies, Sens top-10 first round pick won’t go to Colorado this year

I’m not saying they are to blame for everything but the number of bad goals they have given up this year is astounding

So instead of maybe losing a 12th OA pick and drafting 17th next season, they could end up with a top-5 pick this year. In a shitty season, that’s a silver lining (due to the Duchene trade of course)

Can't really blame them for losing like this, tbh.

They must be devastated for their friend. Seriously, tragedy brings a big drop in energy and « motivation »

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I mean, I doubt Karlsson will be playing the rest of the way, and Stone doesn't seem close to return. We might end up picking 3rd if tonight is any indication of how things will finish.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I honestly wonder if Smith remembers how to hockey at this point.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

They must be devastated for their friend. Seriously, tragedy brings a big drop in energy and « motivation »

Definitely. You can feel it watching the game, and even reading the HFSens boards tonight. Terrible day.

 

[Sun God Nika]

this game is just depressing you can tell the players just dont want to be there .
