Another good test. I'm calling a win here and another on Saturday, because why the f*** not.

 

[Senscore]

I'm sure they will play well but this team excels at not actually beating the better teams

 

[Tuna99]

Josh Norris break out game. 2 goals vs Dallas neither with his shot he scores by mucking around

We don't actually excel at beating Teams that are worst than us either..

 

[Icelevel]

Keep playing hard, evaluate the players, start making moves.

I think he’s done. For this year anyway. He don’t got it. Needs a big off season.

 

[NyQuil]

I’ll be at this one.

Hopefully I’ll be entertained

Does it count if we lose 8-9?

Yep, another big test. This road trip is a good way of evaluating how much the team has improved as we have struggled with Western road trips before, and we are playing against good teams on this trip. Dallas just quietly goes about their business and wins lots of games. They are a good team.

Dallas 4 Senasnores 2

Looking for the Sens to play another good game. Both games in Florida I give them full marks ... Korpi OT goal ignored.

We are never sure what to expect regarding the team play. So little faith in the goaltending in general makes every game a mystery and every shot against we are holding our breath.

Dallas is a good team. Sens cannot survive many hiccups.

GSG. Enjoy the game

Were second last in the conference. We don't excel at anything except for sucking.

I doubt Joseph is fond of our 4th line.

Greig should be centering the 3rd line

We excel at allowing goals in the first 5 mins (11 times this season if I'm not mistaken) allowing soft goals (2nd in Low danger goals against / 60 and last in low danger sv%), and we're top 3 in GF%-xGF%!

I see what you did there...

 

[SensFactor]

Zub with Gordie Howe hat trick

Lets go!!!!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

We probably end up playing great, with a couple backbreaking softies against and we lose.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Hamonic finally banished to the press box consistently. Good times

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

They are not going to put the lineup out with Greig in the middle as long as Norris is a significant + at the dot.

That's good to see, I found he'd been struggling at the dot this year, but noticed it was looking better, nice to put a number to it.

If Norris can find his game, I really like the line of him, Greig and Batherson, when Norris is confident he can really rip it on the rush, but lately he's been mishandling pucks and instead of going to the high danger spots he looks like he's trying to get lost in coverage, but the result has been him being on the perimeter without any good looks.

 

[The Waffler]

Have they won against a western conference team this year?

That would fall under the category of sucking lol

Fair
But he does nothing else
Ask any pure goal scorer what they do during a scoring drought?
They start shooting from any angle possible nd pepper spray the goaltenders
Norris does the exact contrary and tries to become a passer
Going back to the MTL game he has 16 shots in 11 games for 1 goal and 5 points

We hired Staois from the Oilers.
