A buddy of mine bought a 100 acre hobby farm down there near Pictou, they sold everything they had & moved his whole family down there to live on the farm away from the big city. He works odd jobs & she's a nurse & they are loving it down there. He made a 3 hole golf course in the middle of his apple orchard on his property that can be played 3 different ways. Beautiful area, beautiful scenery although I have not seen it or been down there in winter. Love the East coast.

The Silver Seven Ottawa Senators Prospect Update from October 30th, 2018.

Norris, Tambellini and Novak are the standouts: Ottawa Senators Prospect Update - October 30th, 2018

Norris playing so well is really encouraging. He has a lot of raw ability, having size and high end athleticism. He plays fast, has a good shot and can pass. If he has the toolbox to go along with his tools, he could be a real player. I will watch him closely at the world juniors.

All players with size but who need to add more muscle.

And yes the Sens line-up need muscle desperately, they're struggling because they're getting physically dominated. Everything is fine until the opponent plays aggressive hockey and then they have no answer. That's why a player like Tkachuk with size (and eventually muscle), speed and skill is invaluable.

Oh yeah. They've had no answer for physically aggressive players like Pastrnak, MacKinnon, Rantanen and Bergeron. Bunch of goons!!!:sarcasm:

Ottawa's defense has been decimated when plays are made super quickly (eg. elite players). These players make plays at a speed that our defense is either too green (Chabot, Lajoie, Jaros, Wolanin) to have seen before, or is not good enough to process/execute defensive reads quickly enough (Boro, Wideman, Harpur and to a degree Ceci).

I'm 95% confident that Lajoie and Chabot will get there. A little added muscle along the way will certainly help but it's more about skill and experience at this point. I've got some confidence in Jaros and Wolanin too. The others just can't hang with the very best players in the world. And it shows.

Well, it's really not what I am talking about. It's not about fighting, hitting or defending teammates, it's about being strong on the puck to not lose possession or being aggressive towards the puck carrier to retrieve possession, without taking a penalty. Watch the game tonight and look for that, how many physical battles for the puck we lose. Other teams are more hungrier for the puck while we casually look for the puck to end up on our sticks. You have to pay the price in the NHL and I don't think we do it enough. Maybe because half of the players are often injured so they might be playing scared.

That being said, agreed on defense, not enough shutdown ability among the D-squad. You have Chabot who is in his 2nd year, Lajoie who is a total rookie and Ceci who is a #4. Others are all bottom pairing D-men at best. Jaros is also a pure rookie. Harpur hasn't played a full season yet. DeMelo, Borowiecki and Wideman are the other vets, it's really not good enough.

Daccord and Gustavsson could be the tandem of the future.

Daccord was really good at the development camp, not sure what his future is with this team but hope for the best. :thumbu:

I find Chabot's defensive game pretty good actually, especially for only his 2nd year. Really like Jaros's game too, reminds me of volchenkov.

Bernard-Docker should be a good one too and Tychonick as well. The future D is looking good!

Now trade Ceci, lol.

Agreed. It's the combination of size & strength to win puck battles, separate players from the puck, be hard to play against, intimidating but at the same time have the skill to make plays & score goals. I'm a big fan of well rounded players who are good at both ends of the ice & good at a number of things rather than great at just one thing. That's why I like Stone & Tkachuk, they are equally as good defensively as offensively, it would be great, if both Formenton & Batherson turned out to be the same.
