B-Sens Belleville 2019-2020 Season Part I

[Sens of Anarchy]

Daccord in goal now after Gustavsson allows another goal on the first shot of the 3rd period.

It's time for Gustavsson to go to Brampton. He just can't make stops at the AHL level.

very inconsistent. I like Daccord ... give him a run

 

[Xspyrit]

Anyone watching the game? I noticed that the Marlies got a full two minute 5 on 3 powerplay and they scored 2 goals to take the lead. Apparently there was a high stick and a holding call in the same sequence. Legit or soft, just curious?

Not watching this one but watched the one last week and it was one of the most one-sided reffing I have ever seen so don’t be surprised...

Marlies have to go undefeated for the AHl to have any hope of a TV deal...

7-3 a penalty shot

 

[The Worst One]

What a spanking. Yikes.

Daccord is like 2 years older the Gus so it would make sense that he'd be further along in his development. Gus is only 2 years removed from putting up nice numbers in the SHL, he's got the pedigree of a starter, just need to be patient with him and give him a leash to work out the kinks

As it stands we have 3 goalies that can get us wins in the NHL and maybe 4 including Daccord soon. If Gustavsson pans out it will be very easy to move the oldest two goalies and still have good goaltending depth. It takes long for goalies to develop so patience is definitely key.

Belleville is going to keep losing games with their AHL players? So they should have NHL players in Belleville? They’ve got no starting D on a PTO, either

I think the point was add a D that can play in the NHL like they did last year. Allow D currently in Ottawa to go back to Belleville. That's how I took it anyway. Not sure of the technicalities of who might be on a PTO... I think that point is irrelevant anyway

 

[Ouroboros]

I'm not sure there is an immediate need for another AHL defenseman. Jaros and Percy are close to returning for Belleville which will help quite a bit.

Then as DeMelo, Zaitsev and Hainsey get healthy more guys will filter back down.

 

[Sweatred]

I don’t know ... add a contract that blocks a trade for a 10 day need ? The Sens are Getting too many points as it is ... they could play Boedker on D for a few games for all I care and send Lajoie back down.

We've been kind of unlucky with injuries too. Wolanin + DeMelo + Zaitsev + Jaros is a lot to overcome (sure, trading Ebert didn't help either). We have to be patient, and once at least two of them are back (assuming we have no new injuries) things should improve at both the NHL and AHL level.

edit: Ouroboros beat me to the punch.

This guy "Tyler Ray" looks he has no idea what he's saying half of the time... I have been scratching my head several times over his posts... Didn't Belleville win 14 of their last 18 games by the way?

IIRC there was a DefenseMinister posting here a long time ago (there was a MinisterOfOffense too, interestingly enough); not sure if he's still hanging around under a different name.

That'd be weird because I liked DefenseMinister, found him very good. MinisterOfOffense was the best for me.

Look at Dreidger in Florida. I know.. small sample size but he is finding his way in the NHL. You have to give goalies all the time they need to become consistent.

[Burrowsaurus]

I know everyone likes to blame our D and point to our forwards great production but the forwards on Belleville are so incredibly frustrating to watch. like they would be so much more effective if they didn't spend like 75% of the time hot dogging and saucer passing. when we went up 3-1 we were in complete control of the game and then all of a sudden every forward started playing like Alex Semin.

 

[dmarc]

I wouldn't mind to see them make a trade for Freddy Claesson! Carolina have a ton of D depth and Freddy could play some games for us in a pinch.

 

[aragorn]

A guy we don't talk much about, but has had several very good games in the NHL in net is Hogberg. IMO he has shown enough to make Anderson available for trade & become a backup to Nilsson next season. However, given the uncertainties in net for the long term Ottawa should really consider targeting an elite goaltender like Askorov in the 2020 draft.

 

[OD99]

Still not sold on getting Askarov (only because he will go so high) but I agree that Hogberg is showing early signs of being able to transition to NHL backup next season which is great.

He was the forgotten man after we acquired Gus even though he was putting up good numbers so happy to see him carry it on.

Really, even after all his success to date & given how high in this coming draft he is ranked? Are you aware he has been playing in the KHL, Russia's professional men's league since he was 17 yrs old against guys who have played in the NHL & some who soon will? What else does he have to do to prove he already is an elite goaltender for his age when all signs point to him being an elite goaltender in the NHL someday soon?
