Pre-Game Talk: SENS in Montreal, Sunday 1:00pm on SportsNet

[Sensinitis]

Burrows declines a little more each shift

35 games and counting without a goal...

At this point he could get better every game, and he'd still be garage league level by the last game of the season.

Problem with oduya is a lot of us thought he’d be ok. But as karlssons partner?

Yeah if Oduya was being used properly as a #6 D I don't think many would complain. Problem is, no one else has really been deserving of playing with Karlsson either because we never got a proper Methot replacement

I'll never understand why we didn't try these as the top 4 pairings:

Phaneuf-Karlsson
Chabot-Ceci

Alternate Phaneuf and Chabot as EK's partners... Is it me or that has literally never been tried?

Phaneuf is the closest thing to Methot we have, and he provides much more offence. Anyways. Too late now.

Well last I checked which was a while ago granted. There was a notable uptick in numbers when claessen was paired with him. Now, claessen has been bad this season. I was super high on him after the playoffs last year, but he just hasn’t been good. But as EKs partner. I think he has to be the guy. Play him there now. See if they gel some more.

Yeah, it's not like he'd be worse than Oduya in that role. At worst it'd be about the same and there's some upside there.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Ok Thompson literally had an opportunity to send ghallagher to next week. And he just refused. And a lot of people do this. Who is his dad does he come from some powerful family. I always get the sense he’s an untouchable. Like his own teammates get called for shit that he doesn’t.

But to some here playing these guys is seen as some master plan to shop them. But then when wins were absolutely necessary they were still getting these important shifts lol.

"Master plan" easy there... It's just classic asset management. Most of them are on expiring deals or 1 year left, or still a semi-solid asset in Smith's case.

They were getting these important shifts because the coach is a moron. Now they're being played because the GM realized that they aren't very good and wants to get something in return for most of them. Different situations.

Something about Dido's face reminds me of Vanner.

Yeah but a team is going to give us a 2nd round for him
Gotta showcase him...lol

I don’t know where you make the distinction to fit your second point. Unless you’ve heard some convo between the two.

 

[Icelevel]

Boy do we miss zibanejad and silfverberg

So much pain created with those asinine trades

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hoffman gets a dive ,... its 4 on 4... Boucher changes the lines not leaving Duchene and White on after a 6 second shift.

The guy was “key” and “integral” to our PO rum last year. Dorion is a pro and know Lys better than everyone and acquired him. So every other GM being a pro and knowing better than everyone should give up at least. At least what we have up.

Not really, Brass has same points, and Ryan and Silv 4 points apart, with all Bobbys hand injuries.

That the GM realized they're not very good? That's speculation/common sense on my part.

You can take out that sentence and my post has the same meaning.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Game not horrible. Lol dive by Hoff there, he earned that call. MPS looking extra super solid, Boucher will love him.

common sense on your part but the GM is the guy who hunted these guys down and acquired them like, not that long ago.

People learn from their mistakes.

Boucher isn't included in my definition of "people".

TOI in the 1st ... Burrows 4:32 , Duchene 4:31, Smith 6:02

Ayup. Silf is a rock-solid winger with fine two-way game and a shootout beast, whilst Zib is a nightlife producer and quite solid top six centre option. And they are both Swedish, which just adds to the package imo.
The Silf trade was a huge overpay, but hey, Ryan had it rough and likes puppies so it's good in the hood!
Hopefully Melnyk allows a buyout.

Best players play.

He is sooo afraid we get scored on
Still ..were 28th in GA
Obviously he's doing something wrong
Would it really changed something if he would let the talented player to try and gel together and create chemistry?

 

[Sensinitis]

Hoffman-Duchene-Stone
Dzingel-Zibanejad-Silfverberg

Would like to see that just for fun. Wtv. Idk how better off we would be though.

And people that make too many mistakes get fired
