Around the NHL XXXIV | Playoff Spectators Edition

[Senscore]

Holtby has always been a beast in the playoffs, dont think grubs was a good choice tonight.

Caps gotta try something crazy at this point.

 

[Senscore]

Sweet mother overtime. How I missed thee.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

OT in DC

 

[Sun God Nika]

Ovechkin / Foligno

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It's not crazy to put Grubauer in net to start the series. He played like their #1 G for the last few months. He fully earned this.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Backstrom / Werenski

 

[Blarginator]

I just switched to that game in time to see the rebound... Seth Jones would be great to have... excellent 2 way D.

He might be in the running for the Norris this year. Should at least be a HM.

First overtime game this year. Nothing better than Playoff OT.

Bold might be a better word.

 

[Blarginator]

I got Ovie or Dubois. Really impressed by Dubois during the home stretch of the season and he hasn't dissapointed so far tonight.

Re: Seth Jones - I wonder if that Dobson kid has that kind of upside. @BondraTime may have an idea

Putting Holtby in would have been much bolder, imo.

 

[Senscore]

CBC replaying OT clips from last year.


I wasn't ready for these feelings.

 

[Senscore]

Oh thank God they stopped after Bobby in game 1 against the Pens.

That would be a hell of a pick if he turns out this good and we don't get Dahlin or Svechnikov.

It has been a very dissapointing season for the sens but the possibility of drafting an elite player with a top 5 pick has me excited about the future. Lots of good youth in the system already too. Just need to retain our already elite players in the process.

Jones went 4th in 2013 behind McKinnon, Drouin, and Barkov ... That top 4 was pretty great..

 

[Dino Tkachuk]

I hope those that think all high flying skill, no grit/size is the way to go are paying attention. When things tighten up in the playoffs teams with size (and arguably less skill) really do even the playing field - like Ottawa last year. Boston absolutely beat Toronto up tonight. Yikes!

As the Sens rebuild and tweak their roster balance will be key.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

nice work, Columbus.

Holtby probably would have been an even worse choice.

When people say he was bad this year, they aren't exaggerating. We're talking bad with a capital B.

 

[Senscore]

Panarin baby! All aboard the Colum-bus.

 

[Blarginator]

Wow the breadman ends it in OT. What a shot but Orlov was a non factor there.

 

[Sensinitis]

Whoa Panarin is so sick. Can't believe the Hawks trading him for Saad LOL.

 

[Blarginator]

Colorado not going to make it easy for Nashville.

 

[Engineer]

Whoa Panarin is so sick. Can't believe the Hawks trading him for Saad LOL.

He was traded cheaply because they desperately needed a salary cap dump

 

[Boud]

Who argued they'd rather have Burrows than Vanek earlier this season?

Lmao.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Who argued they'd rather have Burrows than Vanek earlier this season?

Lmao.

Oh there were a number of them IIRC.
