Pre-Game Talk: Wings @ SENS, Saturday 1:00pm (afternoon game)

MArtin Havlat?

The kicks a little bit high for Havlat...

I'll be at this one! Super pumped to finally get some live hockey back in again

I look at Detroit’s roster and it’s pretty meh?

Disagree. Seider, Larkin and DeBrincat might be the only obvious stars, but they are a very well coached and balanced team throughout the lineup – each line and pairing has the ability to score, similar to Seattle last year. And they are defending very well.

Lucas Raymond seems to be pretty good too.

Yeah their coaching may be great and I think that’s the key here.

Their FA signings were mocked, but they really shored up their depth with all those short term deals. Maybe not amazing top end, but they have a solid roster top to bottom. Won't be at all surprised if they make the playoffs.

nice to have rivalries that matter again.

Nice to have games that matter again!

It's been a very long lonely road during this rebuild.

 

[Puikiou]

Pound Alex Depussy. Hard.

 

[BankStreetParade]

I'm not buying Detroit, at all. That's a mediocre lineup if I've ever seen one. Wait until their PP drops from 46.2% and they're not getting almost a third of their total goals from it.

[Cosmix]

Is it wrong that more than 51% of me wants Forsberg to get the nod?

The other 49% violently disagrees!

 

[Cosmix]

Detroit vs Ottawa is a huge game for both teams. Detroit added a lot of depth with FA signings. They'll want to show Ottawa they aren't softer than butter anymore after their last 2 embarrassing games vs. the Sens.

DeBrincat helps them for sure, although we aren't hurt by losing him, as Tarasenko is a fine replacement. Plus, he'd be on a $9 mil cap hit, which would kill the Sens, and would be soon to be lost as UFA. We should have never acquired him for Korchinski. The trade sure helped the Cat, as if on Ottawa, he'd be 2nd line and 2nd PP unit. I hope he doesn't get booed much, as he never asked to come here, but sports fans are sports fans.

Detroit fans will wake up to the fact that they blew it by drafting Mason Raymond over Jake Sanderson. Raymond is a decent 2nd liner, but nowhere close to Jake.

Agree. We should not boo Debrincat; we should boo for the GM who traded so much for him.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Wouldn't mind seeing a couple of nice, clean hits on Debrincat

By Stützle.

 

[dumbdick]

This is going to be a statement game.

People lump us in with Buffalo and Detroit as upstart teams. We need to blow that out of the water and be in the same discussion as Jersey.

Lots to prove for both teams here.

 

[salomonster]

Jump hard and often on their D. Wear them down.

This is what we did last March.

I feel the real message was sent last year. Just need to follow it up again. Do it over and over. And destroy their will to play Brady and the bunch.

And of course stay out of the box.

[SpezDispenser]

Remember the looks on their faces? f*** no, not me lol

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Should be a fun game this afternoon - Lets send Cat packing with an L !!

BTW, when are we having Ric Flair night !?!? WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[rfournier103]

Well, well, well… Look who’s gunning for the top spot in the Atlantic. It’s great to see the Sens winning and near the top of the standings. You guys deserve it if anyone does. Best of luck against the Red Wings.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

I was in Houston recently... it's insane the amount of $$$ they spent on infrastructure in a state with no taxes.

It's a different world...

Agreed. Even if that team makes the playoffs, it's just not talented enough to ever be a real contender.

And yet they feasibly could finish ahead of us this season because they are built to win (a wild card spot) NOW. Like a poor man's NYR that has their choice of B-tier UFAs.

But truth is they just didn't acquire enough high end talent while they were at rock bottom, and the half dozen or so band-aid UFAs they signed long term will keep them out of the basement, and in limbo as a team.

Seider is literally the only high impact player they have on the roster today to show from their stretch of years as the worst team in hockey. An yet they will cry out that help is on the way soon. The kids are still coming....

But seeing is believing. And I don't believe they have any world beater prospects knocking on the door right now. Personally speaking. And Larkin and the Cat (lol) arent gonna be leading the way to a Cup lmfao.

 

[TeamRenzo]

I've never seen that gif before...Brady is a beauty!

It’s a new one. Someone just made it. One of the best gifs of all time

 

[Big Muddy]

It's a different world...

Ya, Dallas is the same when it comes to freeways. They are all over the place and they spend a lot of money building them. That I-95 corridor in the densely populated north east U.S. looks like a poor cousin by comparison. Texas has been called god & guns territory.

 

[Bileur]

Imagine being part of this game, watching Brady essentially bring their entire team into the washroom and give them a swirlie, and thinking “I’d love the play with these guys”.

I hope someone lights up DeBrincat.
