[Karlsson2Turris*]

Let's start planning for the playoffs.

Matchups look like either we play Tampa Bay or Montreal.

GO SENS GO!

[Xamar*]

So our 2 options are Tampa or MTL ?

 

[Othello*]

Neil in for Smith Pls. Also bring on the reinforcements Michalek + Puemple/Prince

 

[JB52]

So tonight we have to cheer for a Detroit win
or a Toronto win and a Tampa Bay win.

No, no, it's not like if I think we have much better chances against Montreal...

Five reasons the Sens clinched:

Stating the obvious here...but a very unpopular elephant-in-the-room...IMO Ryan needs to sit for the 1st few games while he recovers. Bring up Prince / Robinson ...or play Neil. It's not fair to the team overall to have Ryan like an albatross around their neck.

So our 2 options are Tampa or MTL ?

And Rangers

 

[Step]

Neil in for Smith Pls. Also bring on the reinforcements Michalek + Puemple/Prince

You know what? I'm all for this. Neil is an absolute force in the playoffs.

 

[Super Cake]

And Rangers

We can no longer face the Rangers.

Nah don't change anything. Despite Ryan being in a slump, he's still throwing the body. Don't see Prince/Robinson doing much better.

fantastic news. my bad.

Ryan played well today, why would he sit?

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Sens can finish tied as the second best canadian team with a vancouver loss

 

[Six Assets]

I forgot about mm9. He was really good before his injury.

I would definite want him back.

 

[Othello*]

MacArther Turris Stone
Michalek Zibanajad Ryan
Hoffman Legwand Chiasson
Condra Pageau Lazar
Switch Chiasson with Neil/Puemple if he ***** the bed

 

[chipsens]

Ryan played well today, why would he sit?

RYan hasn't scored in bleems, and has slowed down so he's not able to keep up. At least that's how he looks in my parallel universe...IMO he looked like s**t today. And NO, I still haven't gotten over his too many men penalty from off the bench in the 3rd period vs Leafs.

We are gonna need lots of speed vs either Smurfs or Stamkos....Ryan has 0 foot speed right now.

Then you clearly have an agenda, he played well, was physical and created some chances.

 

[Hutz]

So... when Condra misses his next breakaway opportunity, we can't really call him stone hands anymore.... what do we call him now? Rock hands?

 

[NyQuil]

I wouldn't change anything to start, unless Michalek is ready to come back.

Then you adjust based on what happens.

Against the Rangers, we went with a tougher line-up after the Brian Boyle shenanigans.

Don't fix what 'aint broke, but when something's broke, don't wait to fix it.

As for Ryan, he can still play a role on our PP, as inept as it is.

[cheeeko]

Leafs fan here, congratulations all, really happy they made it! Never thought I'd be cheering for the Sens but it's hard not to fall in love with a group of guys that play so hard and are so much fun to watch!

Whoever you play in the first round better be ready, team's coming in so hot they'll be really dangerous.

Go Sens!

 

[Hutz]

Then you clearly have an agenda, he played well, was physical and created some chances.

Yeah. He looked fine, i agree. Not 7.5 mil fine, he's fighting the puck, but he made some good plays. He definitely has another level, not sure what's up, but no reason to pile on.

Im definitely glad someone's using one of the greatest moments in team history to bash one of its top players.

Keep on trollin' i guess

There is no way you sit Ryan.

Something tells me his "beard" might grow like Crosby's. Maybe Cowen can lend him some of that neck beard.

 

[chicoutimicucumber]

From a Bruins fan: congrats, guys! Well deserved. Goes without saying that we hope your run continues.
