GDT: Snes @ Red Wings | Pre-Doot Doot

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I was hating on Hammond before the game but I'll gladly give my kudos to him for a solid performance.

Everyone played well tonight besides Neil and Smith (shocker). Maybe our most complete game of the season from start to finish. Really liked Cowen and Chiasson's grindy play tonight.

Turris looks like a real #1C so far and that makes me so happy. Zibanejad looked dangerous every time he had the puck. Wiercioch even made nice plays when retrieving the puck deep in his zone.

I know it's hard since we don't have another C to take his spot but Smith should be sat tomorrow. No excuses for those penalties tonight that could have sunk us.

And really what is our defense outside of Karlsson and methot?

Either way.... woo!

Look at the standings now (and enjoy! )

And we haven't even gone on our 20 game win streak yet

 

[Super Cake]

My vcash bet streak is still alive boys.

Will make sure to go all in again tomorrow.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

No point in celebrating yet

They need to win tomorrow

Still, a good game by most of the roster

Progress!!!

They will win being that i am betting all my vcash on them.

I haven't lost a vcash bet yet this season.

I'm pretty sure Hoffman slots right back to where he was before he got injured. McCormick might be the odd man out.

Wasn't McCormick called up before Puempel was? It wouldn't surprise me if it's Puempel who's sent down.

 

[Super Cake]

McCormick got called up because Lazar got injured i think.

Puemple got called up because Hoffman got injured.

So Puemple will most likely be the one that is sent back.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

If he keeps scoring and develops chemistry with Ryam, Puempel will make it hard for them to send him down.

It could make it easier for Murray to flip a guy like Smith to make room for Lazar at Center.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Cameron rode Michalek hard. There will be nothing left of him if he keeps this up.

Puemple got called up because Hoffman got injured.

Puempel

sorry to be that guy

Puemple got called up because Hoffman got injured.

So Puemple will most likely be the one that is sent back.

McCormick was brought to be a bottom 6 guy. Puempel was brought to be a top 6. Different roles. I think Puempel has a spot until Mac and Hoffman are healthy and even then if he keeps scoring he'll stay.

Best game of the year so far. Hammond was terrific and the Wings needed a 5-3 to beat him.

One of Karlsson's better games, he was trying to shoot more and was getting more shots through. Hopefully he's shaken off all the off-season rust and is getting back to his regular form. Today was a step in the right direction.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Easy the most complete game they've played yet this season. The only negative was the powerplay.

 

[BonkTastic]

And to think we spent half the offseason arguing about Michalek...

 

[Uchiha]

And to think we spent half the offseason arguing about Michalek...

Zero even strength points. Seems to be following the same path as last year.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

And to think we spent half the offseason arguing about Michalek...

Dude, it was warranted. Don't pretend you knew he was suddenly going to play like he is right now.

 

[Othello*]

My predictions are bang on so far. Condra/Prince have been outplaying him. Puempel will soon be added to that list.

 

[BonkTastic]

Dude, it was warranted. Don't pretend you knew he was suddenly going to play like he is right now.

Here's the thing: I don't think he's playing all that differently from how he played after January last year. It's the same guy.

I was adamant that his Oct-Jan from last year was just his worst slump of all time. Everyone was saying "he's done", and "he's not even an NHLer", and I maintained that you can't judge a player by his worst slump. I pretty much said it all year. This is not a new argument on my part.

"Don't pretend he was suddenly going to play like he is right now"? He played like this for months last year, and I was saying this last year, of course I thought he could continue it.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Lots of big storylines coming out of HF after this game. With Milan "we could have kept Condrs instead" Michalek now considered good and the next highest paid non superstar veteran Clarke MacArthur out indefinitely, who will take up the mantle of HFsens whipping boy?

Wiercioch is a heavy favourite, but to be the whipping boy you've got to have runs of good or decent play that can be ignored by posters trashing your play, and I'm not sure he has that in him just yet. Not to mention, he only makes 2 million per.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

That was a terrific game. Best all-around game Ottawa played all season EASILY.

And that was vintage Hamburglar. Look so so good. Loved it.

Everyone was good except Neil and Smith as said earlier. Wier was also better but the weakest of the D still which is still somewhat concerning.

This was hands down best game Ryan played all season and was the same Ryan that was here mid-season last year.

Just a great game all-around I loved it.

To actually think we played like this without Hoffman and MacArthur is beyond impressive. Or even Wideman in lineup.

 

[Upgrayedd]

I thought all played well as a unit including Z Smith, you want that second penalty back for sure and discuss it with him but otherwise he was hard on the puck and finishing his man off everytime, exactly what he is supposed to be doing.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

And we haven't even gone on our 20 game win streak yet

Haha... not yet.

I'm just happy with our play last night. Everyone was skating and going hard to the puck. It's really all you can ask for. Hammond was also solid in net.

Hopefully this play continues tonight. Another divisional win would be huge!

 

[Rand0m]

And I just noticed the Sens are 2nd in the Atlantic in a tie with Tampa!

Not bad for a "struggling" team and a few injured players.

This goes in the positive thread!

Luckily the teams in our division are also struggling so our horrible hockey to start hasn't affected the sens too much in the standings. Just keep getting wins... no matter how ugly!

lol 23+ mins of ice time for MM9.
