Low Effort GDT Flames vs. Sens (home), 1 p.m. (Playing live from your TV, Radio, or Internet Device)

Norris going for the spaz award on that last rush on the 4 on 4

Needed him to score there to hit on a bet of Flames win on the over, Lindholm goal, Norris goal

 

[JD1]

They embarrassed Calgary the other night and came out flat. Maybe they were reading all their accolades in the paper. It's a hard league and they needed to be harder on pucks early.

 

[Bileur]

Yes. We enter the zone with regularity with that pass. We have been all season.

Sens are 25th on the PP.

 

[JD1]

This team need Sanderson to be better defensively than Chabot

 

[swiftwin]

Sens are 25th on the PP.

Which has nothing to do with our entries.

Let’s just hope chabot gets better because he’s making the monster dollars.

This team can't afford to have Chabot, Reilly, Brannstrom & Zaitsev on the roster at the same time, they are just too weak defensively when these guys are playing. Zaitsev had a good start but looks to be getting tired, Chabot has been brutal defensively most of the yr, Reilly has been both good & bad, the very definition of inconsistency & Brannstrom has had some good moments & bad moments & sometimes looks small & gets overpowered in board battles. Not sure how long it will take to fix this defence but Ottawa needs both JBD & Sanderson to be NHL ready much sooner than later.

Dadonov only has 2 assists. That tells a lot about the guy

The dude is just broken. Dzingle needs to take his spot in the line up

He’s still a solid 2 way player.

Nothing wrong with having a bigger guy on that side of the ice playing the toughest D minutes. It'd free Chabot up offensively

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

Anyway, that 2nd goal is maybe the only goal that you should/could expect the goalie to save. On all the other goals he was totally left out to dry.

Obviously we disagree, but saying the one critique for Murray is that he isn't expecting his defense to screw up is pretty weak. His numbers are terrible, he gives up a couple soft goals a game, has a terrible glove, and he always takes forever to get set/reset (yes it saved us with the Montreal interference goal, but I think that was obviously a dubious call).

I agree the defense has been terrible too, but Murray does not look good. Let's hope they both improve.

Chabot would still be making these mistakes when he’s on the ice. Chabot needs to be better. Even if we had giordano

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Daccord made some nice saves in the third

Most of them look mental to me. Fatigue having to play 25 of the hardest minutes every night.

 

[JD1]

But yes, he definitely needs to be better

 

[Sensinitis]

Lacked effort for half the game but really appreciate how they finished off the game and stayed in it.

Daccord looked pretty good in the 3rd.

The Brady-Matthew-Giordano moment at the end of the game was hilarious

 

[MiscBrah]

I didn't get to see any of the game, what are the cliff notes?

Stats tell me Chabot was brutal (-4 with 2 assists, yikes). PP is looking better. Murray was bad/unlucky?

 

[tardigrade81]

Sens are 25th on the PP.

Yikes...

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Sens are 25th on the PP.

If we didn’t play stepan or anisimov on pp2 we would be 31st

 

[DJB]

Lack of what part? Not passing it straight to opposing players at his own blue line?its not so critical. Is just saying the play was shit. Which it was

Yes the play was bad, but again he's young and he was gassed. He gets a pass for me on that one.

Well
I mean technically he gets a pass from me too I have no power over his ice time or anything like that. I’ll be cheering for him again next game.
