GDT: [#23] Ottawa Senators @ Dallas Stars, 7:00 CST (FS-SW)

[Smelling Salt]

Aside from his decision on that 4th Sens goal, Bae has had a great game.

 

[Henderson33]

Smith has issues.

 

[serp]

Smith with the full cage trying to fight Esa ~ Seriously ?! ...

 

[Magic Mittens]

Aside from his decision on that 4th Sens goal, Bae has had a great game.

Yeah I'm impressed with him. Who knows if we'll ever be healthy, but I like him on the big club

 

[serp]

How is that an icing ?

 

[Kcb12345]

Oh my god are you kidding me Miro was so close

 

[Kcb12345]

He wanted it so badly lmao every chance he got he was trying to shoot

 

[Magic Mittens]

Damn Miro should of had the hatty

 

[serp]

I mean everyone else also passed to him when they could. Not to mention with Lindell and Polak already send to the shower he was guaranteed to close out the game together with Bayreuther.

No chance the two AHL guys see the ice again.

 

[Troy McClure]

The nice thing about entering a third period with a lead is everyone got a pretty even amount of ice time compared to a lot of games.

 

[serp]

Wonder if Bow plays tomorow . I mean its a back to back and such. Khudobin hasn't exactly looked that great the last two games but its still a guy in this first start.

Probably should happen . No need for Khudobin to get injured as well.

I'm so happy we won this game because...going up against the Avs tomorrow may end up being uglier than the game against the Penguins

So what's the general thought on Devin Shore now? Is he a legitimate 2nd line player at this point/appears to be headed that way?

His offensive IQ honestly is fantastic and his skills are there in all aspects of the game. Still not so sure what he will be at points wise by the end of the season but still. Also...who comes out for Hanzal?

The easy and the bad answer is Hintz because he can just be send down. The correct answer would be Ritchie but he's not getting waived and finding a trade for a guy playing so terribly is not that easy. Maybe Hitch wants Brett to not score for him again ?

 

[serp]

Also Devin Shore looks solid a solid second line Winger/Center now. He's shown signs of that before the last two year but could never quite break out. There's reports that he really really took last year hard and worked his butt off in the offseason and studied alot of film of his play from last season and how he ended up on the ice for all those goals against and the -30 . So looks like that paid off.

Unfortunately I was thinking Hintz too, but I'm saying who on this current roster cause Ritchie and co. Are scratched. I think when it comes to that and if Hintz is still producing and playing well we would have to see a trade occur right? I assume Nichushkin would be the one moved but no way they send Hintz down if hes doing good...or at least I hope not. Could just scratch someone I suppose and put Smith or Ritchie on waivers but it'd be better to trade Nichushkin than scratch him or someone else

Its more difficult with the forwards currently playing. TBH . Probably Val , Janmark or Comeau (?) . Guess you have to rotate alot if you want to keep Hintz in if he plays himself into a permanent top6 role.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Shore has made me a believer so far. I'd rather Hanzal not come back (not trying to be harsh...) but I agree that they will shuffle people around and Hintz will be the odd man out even if he's playing well.

 

[serp]

If Hintz remains productive i don't think they can afford to send him down . The guys you would have to promote. Lets just say they haven't exactly shown they can score on the wing in a top 6 role.

Roope imho has a chance to nail down the rosterspot until Hanzal is truely back whenever that is. I'm still sceptical about Hanzal coming back to be an effective NHL player but we'll see i guess.

 

[northstars]

I'll be livid is Hintz is sent down. It will be obvious the team is paying lip service to winning if that happens. Why would you send down a second line player who is obviously producing and impacting every game in a positive way. The team is starved enough for scoring and your going to send down a talented winger. f*** that.

 

[Troy McClure]

My guess is they try to being Hanzal back at 4th line center, which pushes Dickinson to the wing.

If Hintz is sent down, it's only because Nill again refuses to deal with a roster problem by cutting dead weight.

That was like watching our 2018 Stars play Lindy Ruff's 2015 Stars.
