GDT: Sharks @ Sens. Dec. 18. We Are Going To Need A Bigger Boat Edition

[Bileur]

Prince is so much better than Boro at forward. Who would of thought

Shocking development.

 

[DrEasy]

RKL's thread called for offense from a D other than Karlsson, and others asked for offense from the bottom 6. Well:

Nice win, wore them down maybe. Didn’t score on a 5 on 3 yet still won, that never used to happen.

Was there this much talk when Schubert was put as 4th line forward? I remember when Tortorella in Tampa had benched lecavalier a couple games, then he comes on a road trip to Canada and realizes its all over the news and everyone is talking about it, like Sens fans with Hoff too. And Torts says – It’s coaching! Prince is a young player being developed. Coach wants a better forechecking presence. And for Boro to be backup dman for penalties given the troubles some of our other d are having there. Doesn’t seem impossible to grasp to me. Not like thinking the coach thinks boro is a better forward than Prince.

Sens developing nicely, keep it going

 

[Ice-Tray]

I'm so friggin sick of this coaching!

 

[Ice-Tray]

Boro is terrible. Almost got scored on when he lost his man and now takes a very dumb penalty.

God I wish we weren't forced between him or Cowen.

Naw man he was pretty solid, but he'll get beat sometimes or make mistakes. The truth is, so does every single guy in the league. The guys who make a few more are on the lower tiers of pro.

Man if Boro played the way everyone wished he would he'd be a star, they'd all be stars!

I'd like to see him get a nice look with EK so that Methot could play with Ceci. Boro will start getting some of the physical calls go his way once he's been in the league longer and shown to not be cheap.

I missed the first two periods.

What was wrong with how the game was coached?

Gonna take a wild guess and say he was being sarcastic.

Nothing at all, was just trying to fit in

And just came across as a jerk instead as usual....

Yeah that was low, but we're having a few drinks at home before heading out and I'm not giving HF my A game

 

[Micklebot]

Gonna take a wild guess and say he was being sarcastic.

Ok, cool. As I said, I missed a good chunk.

I do see that the 4th line was around 8 mins. Hoping Prince can start gaining some trust, he set up a goal with a strong back check.

The best type of development is playing.

 

[Super Cake]

Pretty decent game.

Still seem to not be able to show up in the 1st period.

Whatever though, a win is a win. 3 straight wins against the Sharks.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

RKL's thread called for offense from a D other than Karlsson, and others asked for offense from the bottom 6. Well:

Haha, but my thread was highlighting the fact that only Karlsson and to lesser extent Wideman provide any offense.

One more legit 2 way offensive guy on 2nd pairing and we'll be sick from back-end.

I'm so friggin sick of this coaching!

lol

Anderson has got to be one of the most underrated goaltenders in the league. I can't believe some people wanted to get rid of him during last offseason.

If we traded away Anderson, i doubt we would be in a playoff spot now.

He won't get any recognition though unless he leads us deep in the playoffs.

Agreed.

 

[starling]

Wiercioch was pretty good. I didn't even notice any giraffeness in his game.
Could he just keep doing what he was doing today?

You have to give to get though, and that's why he was in the conversation. Although we somehow ended up getting something meaningful anyways.

True, but i have always thought it would have been a mistake to trade our #1 proven starting goaltender and going with 2 unproven goaltenders.

That Wier and Ceci pair has been good for two straight games now. Could it be a sign of good things to come? These two were a big part of last season's later push. If they can play at that level again, we do not desperately need that top 4. Simple is that. And keep benching Cowen, and maybe get someone other than Boro on that 3rd pair. I know some people still have hopes for Cowen, well, I do not any more, he is another Brian Lee, as far as I am concerned.

 

[Sensinitis]

I think I've lost hope for Cowen too.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I'm so friggin sick of this coaching!

Isn't it kind of ironic that you say this now (I know it's sarcasm) when the huge coaching decision that everyone has hated (boro at forward) was forced to change.we al wanted that changed. He finally changed it. And it allowed him to roll 4 lines, or at least have an effective fourth line. So while Dave Cameron may have 100000 on all of us here in our life times. I think the score is now 100000 - 1.

Brian Lee looked better that cowen. Extra points for dropping an F bomb in an Ottawa sun interview too.

 

[SENSational Sens Fan]

One of the more exciting games I've been to. Pretty complete game tonight, though they could tighten up a bit (too many odd man rushes allowed in the first period). Hope we can build on it in Tampa.

Oooooooh, you said the B word.

 

[fringie]

Oooooooh, you said the B word.

Yes, I did, it also crossed my mind that it is a forbidden name around here.

Honestly, I see the same pattern, except a larger contract for Cowen. Just does not have it, would not be surprised if he is done in the NHL before 30, and finds a job in finance...
