It becomes more clear to me with every passing game that Zub should be in the conversation with Sanderson for best or most valuable d-man on the team. They guy rarely makes a mistake, is in the right place, makes the right play, is a good passer, plays physical, best D on the pk and does the little things right. Just a great player.
On the other side of the coin, it is very difficult to say any of those things about Chychrun. He seems to be trending in the wrong direction these days. Would like to see him pick things up as there is plenty of room for improvement.

Forsberg and Chabot are the clear #1 and #2
Batherson should actually be #3. I initially voted Joseph but looked at advanced stats and changed my vote.

nice to be able to vote for more than one player this time.
zub is the defensive soul and arguably the backbone of this team.

Finally a game where there were many candidates to choose from! I went with Forsberg, Chabot and Joseph, but could have included Zub, Batherson, Stutzle as well.

??? I was not aware there was a poll with only 1 vote allowed?
Well, it'd be nice if someone could mention it if it happens...
Forsberg gets a star due to the shutout but it wasn’t the toughest nights work. There were only 3 saves that would not be considered bad goals had he not stopped them. Seattle was held to the perimeter the entire game.
Asked ChatGPT to write a script that would pull these votes together. Here are the current standings from the previous 18 games:

That sounds very simplistic and "unfair"
Shots were 39-28 and Scoring Chances were 41-23 for Seattle but High Danger Chances were 13-11 for Ottawa
Sens did a good job to not give too many grade A chances but Seattle still had plenty of scoring chances. Forsberg was really good and Sens offered a lot of support on second chances
We're just not used to it because we GIFT WRAP a lot of goals against usually.
Really? wow... did you have to provide links or something?
And that guy Idgaf is quite underrated

Just because there were 11 HDCA doesn’t mean Forsberg had to make a good save or even a save.

I meant that the team had been playing so bad it was hard to vote for more than 1 or 2 players.

Disagree, Seattle still had a lot of chances, you think that because you're used to watch DJ Smith hockey, we played a normal NHL game last night.
Plus, from watching on TV and without having goaltending experience, I would venture to say that you might not know exactly which saves are hard or not. My friends lose their minds when I do a fancy glove save when I actually made an harder but unnoticed shoulder/stick save earlier in the game.
Oh lol, thought I accidentally only had 1 possible vote in a poll but I would have noticed as I vote myself so brain cramp

ok but do you watch other games than the Sens? Because outside of rebuilding teams with no defense, you're not supposed to give 10 glorious chances against per game, something that has been regular under DJ Smith. So this game there was only3? Ok but he had other difficult saves to make. I think one of his best saves was a shoulder save in the first period that probably went unnoticed for many
Yes it was not a super difficult game overall as 39 shots against could suggest but he still had to make plenty of good saves vs some of the best hockey players in the world

Just in the first period, he made several really good saves that gave us the chance to build a lead.
The condensed game only shows the main action after the 1st but according to NST, the Kraken only had 2 HDCF in the 1st, then 5 in the 2nd and 4 in the 3rd...
Honestly, he had 3 tough saves by my count, all the others were fairly routine. Last night against the Rangers he made more difficult saves and was a star in my mind despite giving up 2 goals.

I don't have the time to re-watch the whole game and make a detailed report but just with the condensed highlights, you see more than 3 tough saves. Shots through traffic and redirections are hard too, or open ice shots. Sometimes pro goalies make it look easy because they cut the angles perfectly. It doesn't mean it was "routine"
So agree to disagree. He had a slightly more difficult game vs the Rangers and played great again. NST had them at 12 HDCF, which is one more than vs Seattle.
