Pre-Game Talk: SENS in NJ, tonight 7:00 pm on TSN

[L'Aveuglette]

I guess the lesson here is that it's not a Sens game unless there's a blown lead involved.

 

[Jorge Garcia]

I don't think Dzingel is a top 6 F either.

I actually think he's a great 3rd liner when we're healthy, and a pretty good fill-in as a top-sixer when needed. I think his hockey IQ is fine, watching his passing, his ability to get open, his takeaways and positioning. He misses a lot of chances, but he gets a lot. I think he can be a 20-goal guy.

Which can be good. But obvioulsy can be bad.

I'll keep beating this dead horse: they need to figure shit out (like every team), but getting points while in the process is important early in the season.

However, this trend needs to stop. Ill take the points for now.

 

[albator71]

Im happy with the point we got tonight, this was a tough situation for us to win tonight but we came back late in the third to steal another valuable point.

But GB needs to practice the shootout we are absolutely Brutal with a capital B in shootouts

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Silver lining....we have three times as many points as the Habs right now, and sit second in the division.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Still pretty neat we only lost 1 in reg

 

[chipsens]

Are we not entertained?!
Heartattack kids...wow.
Yay for DiDo

 

[chipsens]

why have I seen didomenico so much this third.

Lol

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Can we switch goalies befor the shootout.

 

[Boud]

It's important to keep getting points while we have all of those injuries. We don't have a lot of ROWs and Boston is 6 points behind with 3 games in hand.

 

[chipsens]

We will go up 4-3 and lose 5-4 in OT

Sort of right

 

[playasRus]

That SO goal from DilDo was mmph.

 

[Jorge Garcia]

Almost stole it in OT. Correctly, I had no hope for the shootout, because we suck at it on both sides of the puck. But heck, I expected a regulation loss, considering the sked, the injuries and the illnesses, so not a bad outcome.

 

[Zedrow]

I actually think he's a great 3rd liner when we're healthy, and a pretty good fill-in as a top-sixer when needed. I think his hockey IQ is fine, watching his passing, his ability to get open, his takeaways and positioning. He misses a lot of chances, but he gets a lot. I think he can be a 20-goal guy.

I would also add that his speed supports a lot of players like Turris. He can help meet the speed of other teams and take the focus away a bit from other players.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I kinda want to see the sens make the playoffs with almost as many overtime losses as they have wins.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

I don't know how anyone can argue in favor of Dzingel's hockey sense being top-6 level, but go ahead and explain to me how he belongs there anyway.

Who would you favour instead of Dzingel?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

I dont think Dzingel is a top 6 either. He's a 3rd line scoring LW IMO.

We really could use some better W's on both side. Guys like Smith and Dzingel are tweeners.

However, Boucher's approach is to role 3 scoring lines and hope the chemistry between the 3 makes up for it.

I just hope we dont trade for another guy like Burrows. He isnt the answer

So who would you play in place of Dzingle and Smith, in the top six?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Fun game to watch live. You guys are proving last year was no fluke.

 

[albator71]

It's important to keep getting points while we have all of those injuries. We don't have a lot of ROWs and Boston is 6 points behind with 3 games in hand.

Boston has three tough games coming up LAK, CBJ and yes VGK

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

4 real wins
2 real losses
5 ties

Weird record

How'd we get the 2nd real loss?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I don't think Dzingel is a top 6 F either.

agree he's a tweener... maybe that's all we are going to get.

 

[Boud]

Boston has three tough games coming up LAK, CBJ and yes VGK

Any team can win against any team. That can't be overstated. Boston was right there with us last season, their roster didn't change much and same for us.

Boston just got Bergeron back and I think Backes is on his way back too. They have rookies playing well... If there's oe thing I've learned being a Sens fan it's that you can't take a team lightly.. A lot of teams took us lightly last year and still do even though we keep proving them wrong.

 

[Tundraman]

Wasn't expecting a win or a point before the game let alone with a few minutes left and down 2 goals. Very happy to take the point especially with the win last night. Will stay completely away from the negative shoulda coulda and will sleep well tonight. Nice point steal!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens are 4 points out of 1st after 11 games ,.,not bad

 

[LeProspector]

Mark Stone is quietly having an amazing start to the season for Ottawa. He's been a play driver and looks more confident with the puck. Has 7 goals and 12 points in 11 games now. Is tied for 8th in the league in points, and 4th in the league in goals.
He is also tied for 1st (alongside Brassard) in +\- with a +11.
