Post-Game Talk: Colorado vs SENS Wed. 7:00pm

[Samboni]

Jaros is more then ready to take Ceci’s spot
Really impressed by him for a 36 NHL games player

Needs to learn not to clear the puck over the glass.

Hummmm no comments on 11/7?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I said it mostly in jest as it happened twice last night and resulted in a 6 on 4 and pp goal.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nilsson with a great game .938

Good acquisition. Should have happened earlier. He has been really solid after a very shaky 1st game

 

[Chabot84]

I think its more the team started to rebel against management, don't forget Karlsson was the captain of this team. Stone only signed a 1 year deal to send a message.. JMO

It still sucked. The players played well and won in spite of the terrible lineup configuration, not because of it. Boucher talks about how Wolanin deserves to be in the lineup "no matter who's ready" and then gives him the least ice time. What kind of mixed up, confusing message does that send to a young player? It also messes up the defense pairing which impacts not only this game but future games as well.

And it only really is a good thing for the forwards if it gets your elite players a little more time to make things happen. What happened last night? Pajaarvi and Smith got significantly more ice time than Duchene, Tkachuk and Dzingel.

It was a great performance by a number of Sens last night and a good team effort but despite the win it was still a baffling night from the guy behind the bench.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Pretty much this.

 

[Korpse]

But thats Ceci's role and he is so good at it!

Did anyone actually say Ceci was good at it?

Wow, I'm shocked that Guy Boucher did what he said he was going to do, play Pajaarvi, Smith and JGP AKA a shutdown line vs the Avalanches' "Big Line ", as much as possible to keep them off the scoresheet as much as possible .... being that he had the last change, by virtue of playing at home.

And I'm shocked that Colorado would play their "Big Line " so much, even while trailing for most of the game????

I would say that his game plan worked almost to perfection, as the Sens, with the 29th best record ( .436) beat a team with the 17th best record (.532)

Chabot’s defensive play to break up the breakaway followed by his beautiful assist was unreal last night. I think he’s a top 5 Dman in the league right now, and it’s only a matter of people watching him more before he’s recognized as one.

He has definitely looked solid but lets not let the fact slip our minds that the three wins here were against the Kings who are one of the worst teams in the league and the Avalanche and Ducks who are probably the coldest teams in the league.

The Avs are also struggling mightily right now, having lost 10 of 12 (while getting atrocious goaltending over that stretch), and were on the last game of a 5 game road trip that spanned most of Canada.

I'm not trying to downplay the win, but I wouldn't entirely say we won because of a "game plan" last night. We got to face a squad that is playing some of the worst hockey in the league over a stretch, on the butt end of a road trip, while getting an added boost to our lineup (our 1D and 1C).

Other than the 2 delay of game penalties he was pretty good and has been for the past while. Lets hope he keeps progressing

It's still not a good tactic?

Jaros, does he remind anyone a little bit of Chris Phillips?

 

[DrEasy]

Ceci reminds me more of Phillips than Jaros does, but then again I was never a Phillips fan.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Jaros, does he remind anyone a little bit of Chris Phillips?

Reminds me a lot more of Meszaros, to be honest. Ceci is Phillips' understudy.

Nice comparison! a bit less jittery and more steady hopefully in the long run.

You asked "What happened last night? " and seemed baffled by the disparity in the ice time allotments between three forwards and some of the forwards that have had roles in shutting down the opponents top lines, for quite a while.

This facet, of the game plan, was laid out, by the coach, and was extensively discussed all day yesterday on TSN 1200, and during the 2 hour pre game show.

It appears that it came as a surprise to you, that Boucher was line matching last night, and it helped in the Senators victory.

Well thats my point, why keep him in it if he sucks at it. Thats all I was saying before.

They have actually been playing well but not getting any goaltending, they outshot the leafs 38 to 20 the previous game.

Yes I have always thought he was solid, then that first game was so tough. He is big and gets in the way of the puck alot better than anyone else this team has currently in the organization outside of Anderson (who has been very streaky this year too).

The lack of respect he gets league wide is pretty incredible. Just goes to show no one actually watches this team.

 

[Korpse]

Well thats my point, why keep him in it if he sucks at it. Thats all I was saying before.

I can’t recall anyone being opposed to moving him either.
