Pre-Game Talk: SENS in Sin City (Beautiful Las Vegas) Fri. 10:00pm on TSN

[Kamina]

Sens are playing a good game thus far. Where was this effort 2 months ago?

The uncertainty is gone (other than the EK contract ofc). We now know that this is the group that will mostly be here for next year... That can make a difference too.

Playing more aggressive , and more up tempo .. I like it. I hope they keep the pedal down in the 3rd... no passive resistance

They didn't have Jim O'Brien around to inspire them.

 

[Viletho]

If he’s here next year and he’s healthy I’m hoping for 15-20 goals.

We all hope so, IF he is here.

I think it would do him wonder to stay injury free for a season. Everytime he start to play well he receive a puck to the hand..

Ryan is really good at being the guy who stands in front of the net on the pp. good at tipping pucks. The problem is when you play that role you take a lot of abuse. Slashes, getting hit by pucks etc. So he will likely get hit in the hand a few times doing that.

WTF is this team?

 

[Samboni]

Clawson -1 move too many. Another giveaway.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Man, that was all Claesson.

 

[Xspyrit]

Stone and Pageau had a nice run together in 2015-2016 when Turris went down as well. He can’t carry a line but when he plays with talent he always has done well.

Next year :

Hoffman-Duchene-1stroundpick
Ryan-Pageau-Stone
Dzingel-Brown-White
Pyatt-Chlapik-Gaborik
McCormick

Smith traded for picks/prospects
Burrows with retention traded for a late pick

Get a Top-4 LD
Fix goaltending
Fix coaching

I dunno, a good one? We've played great tonight as we've done for most of the last 8 games or so.

 

[Samsquanch]

I still think that Ryan has been misused here. Our coaches have never consistently given him first line minutes and linemates. He's always getting shuffled around, and somehow guys like Smith typically end up with more minutes.

All of our coaches since Murray seem to have trouble giving our most talented players the most minutes. Other teams don't have the same problem, im always looking at the TOI in the boxscores.

Scoring consistently is tough enough in this league, even with top line minutes, but it's that much harder when you are playing as much as a 2nd/3rd liner.

Stop overcoaching and trying to out fox other coaches and worry more about developing long lasting chemistry between core players.

 

[Samboni]

Collapsing .

 

[Samboni]

Duchene can sure pivot!

Well then, Bobby Ryan's issue is coaching. You heard it here first, folks.

 

[Korpse]

Duchene can sure pivot!

Draws so many penalties cause he can spin off of guys so quickly. All they can do is reach in or grab him.

 

[ffayyca]

Smith is having a great game. Ryan's issue is his skating and conditioning.

 

[Xspyrit]

Duchene can sure pivot!

That pivot was impressive

 

[Xspyrit]

lol Andy and Dzingel

As a goalie, any shot that goes through you is not a good goal to give

 

[Ouroboros]

Looks like they might salvage a loss.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What is goaltending?

 

[Cloud]

Anderson will not be denied!

 

[Deku]

lol
who didnt see this coming?

 

[Deku]

its almost like we dont even have a goalie in net

 

[Sun God Nika]

I love Anderson!

 

[Samboni]

Back to their normal cluster-fnck style of play!
