GDT: Game 22: SENS @ HABS | Boring is good | Nov. 20, 2019 7:30pm ET, SN RDS

[Runner77]

Sometimes boring is good.

Take Eugene Melnyk, goes the old joke. Take him, please.

His legal troubles are well documented. What adds to them are the little details that keep propping up. Like these answers Melnyk provided in that casino lawsuit against him:

Brilliant game plan.

By strategically peeling away at the description of his physical attributes, he'll eventually be able to prove to the plaintiff casino that ... he was never even there!

And then there's the matter of his private jet.



No worries, he now has that also covered. Borrowing from the same defense strategy as with the casino lawsuit ...

And there are other legal squabbles which go beyond the scope of this space. But, they're out there.

Not coincidentally, Ottawa boasts the lowest attendance in the NHL so far this season with an average per game figure of 11,168:

Now, if this is real ... just what kind of budget are the Sens working with?

Meantime, good ole boring Geoff is grappling with challenging fan questions such as whether he'll be joining the Biceps Club ...

So yeah, sometimes, boring is good!

Hey, what's going on in that bathroom?

Impressive the casino girl is hilarious

 

[Tuggy]

Gotta win this one.

 

[sandviper]

Gotta win this one.

Gotta win a bunch. We have a long home stand and need to take advantage of it and bank those points. I have a feeling December will be brutal.

 

[Tyson]

Always good to have a game immediately after a loss like we witnessed last night. I would not hesitate to start Price

 

[Habs Halifax]

Always good to have a game immediately after a loss like we witnessed last night. I would not hesitate to start Price

I'd like Price to play as well but we do have lots of back to back's coming in the next few weeks. 11 games in 22 nights with 3 back to backs.

If you are going to play Price in the back to back, tonight is the night. Two game break with the Rangers on Saturday, another two game break, then the Bruins on Tuesday. Starting on the 26th against the Bruins, we have 9 games in 16 nights.

 

[Gally11]

I don't know how I feel about watching tonight's game yet.


EDIT: GDT is hilarious btw

 

[The Real Timo]

i feel the third loss in a row is coming. It just makes sense

 

[LaP]

Did not watch the game but watched the replay of the goals. We gave our first 100% fluke goal of the season. It was bound to happen we have scored like 10 times more fluky goals than we allowed this season. The law of average will catch up to us.

 

[LaP]

i feel the third loss in a row is coming. It just makes sense

Nah i posted this last year and it's still relevant today.

 

[The Real Timo]

I bet Sens dress a backup and Habs go with Price. Becuse the goal is to try make the playoffs and no way Clod is failing this goal.

 

[The Real Timo]

Didn't they lose to the wings?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Habs have the 10th best goal differential (+7) and includes the -3 from last night. I value this stat and I look at that a lot through each season. Are we still a middle of the pack team or have we moved to a fringe top 10 team? It's anybodies guess.

I would say we have a top 10 offensive and a top 15 defense. How far we go depends on special teams.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I bet Sens dress a backup and Habs go with Price. Becuse the goal is to try make the playoffs and no way Clod is failing this goal.

Sens had their back-up play last night (Nilsson). So Andersen likely gets the start tonight. However, both Nilsson and Andersen has played 11 and 12 games and Nilsson has better stats so not sure who is their "back-up"

 

[BLONG7]

When HF decides to put members in the hall of fame, I nominate Runner for his GDT efforts!! Bravo, yet again!!!!

 

[David25]

I wouldn’t mind starting Price, but then what’s the point of paying for a backup if he can’t play against the Ottawa senators and what messages are you sending to Kinkaid

 

[Edgy]

At first, I thought you're making this stuff up about his height and weight, etc.. which was funny in by itself. Then I continue to read and it's ACTUAL shit he said and it became freakin hilarious.

The "Not Melnyk's Jet" killed me. And he looks more likely to join the Clode Belly Club then become a Bergevin Bicep Bro.

Awsome and hilarious GDT as usual man!

Boules refaites hier, now seaweeds and tofu BEING TOO EXPENSIVE ( they are not).


you got me again, runner. nice one.

The message to Kincaid is "stop giving up 4 goals per game"

 

[David25]

The message to Kincaid is "stop giving up 4 goals per game"

He had a decent game on Saturday. The team played bad in front of him

 

[Guy Larose]

We lose tonight and Pageau and Duclair really hurt us....that is my prediction. Oh, and if you can't play Kincaid against the Sens, then you can't really play him against anyone.

 

[Milhouse40]

He had a decent game on Saturday. The team played bad in front of him

Kinkaid faced on average 37.5 shots per game in his 4 starts.
Kinkaid is not Price…..have to give him some game with 25-28 shots to give him a chance.

 

[MSSLYNX]

Sens had their back-up play last night (Nilsson). So Andersen likely gets the start tonight. However, both Nilsson and Andersen has played 11 and 12 games and Nilsson has better stats so not sure who is their "back-up"

Pretty obvious Nilsson 6-4, .924 29 yrs old is miles ahead of Anderson 3-7, .894 38 yrs old. Another opponent just decided to play their top guy against the other team. Toronto, Wsh even decided to dress their backup at home and their top on the road against the Habs. 7 of the 11 wins against the backup is some nasty stat.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Juulsen was taken out of the training.


Trade ?

call up ?

an other injury?
