I'm now 4-0 in games I've attended

Please man, I beg you, please, seriously, please. Stop going to games

 

[SpezDispenser]

So impressed with Jaros and Lajoie. Really, nothing but positives to say about them - and I was super skeptical about Lajoie, still am, but that was a big step in the right direction.

Awesome to hear. Hopefully they can play a full time role with the big club in the future.

You gotta get tickets for every game man! Lets go for the cup!

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

We're doing just good enough to not pick top 5 and we're gonna end up with Marco Rossi

I've always really liked Jaros. Not sure if this means anything tonight, the Rangers didnt look very good, but it's nice to know we have two guys who can perhaps make the league and help out when injuries happen.

 

[Taluss]

First game I went to this season
And was certainly impressed. Even got free tickets for getting a Chabot jersey lol. We are ruining the tank tho oops

 

[TheDebater]

Please man, I beg you, please, seriously, please. Stop going to games

Or you know he can go to every game, including every playoff game, all the way to the SCF.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Please man, I beg you, please, seriously, please. Stop going to games

He probably feels obligated, being one of the 675 people in attendance.

 

[maclean]

Man, we actually looked like a real hockey team out there, the better hockey team

 

[Larionov]

We're doing just good enough to not pick top 5 and we're gonna end up with Marco Rossi

Nothing wrong with that. Rossi is going to be a great player, kind of Logan Couture 2.0. I'll take that all day...

 

[JD1]

The building remains pretty empty but the team is playing entertaining hockey and winning. Great atmosphere at the game last night...Chabot scoring in the first minute really fires things up.

 

[Ouroboros]

Dorion's genius is becoming more evident with each passing game.

What a legacy this man will leave.

 

[tardigrade81]

It was an awesome dominating win. I am starting to feel pretty good about this team. However our next seven out of nine games are against teams that are in a playoff spot. So we will see what this team is really made of in the next couple weeks.

 

[SENATOR]

DJ Smith invented the swarm defence. A swarm - when a group of working bees going on the defensive attack and converging on the puck carrier from every direction possible. Using active sticks to create turn overs. With this, Sens could even deliver a blow to Capitals.

 

[SENATOR]

First - the swarm defence was used by FC Barcelona. When after losing the possession of the ball, players would pressure the ball carrier from every direction to create a turn over. Now it is coming to hockey, thanks to DJ Smith.

People wanting the team to finish last and secure a top 4 pick are the only one's who want the team to truly succeed. They are demonstrating the principle of delayed gratification, which is one of the clearest indicators of future success.

Short sighted fans who care more about a few meaningless regular season wins than securing the talent necessary to actually contend are failing the marshmallow test.

I disagree with your first paragraph. Here’s the thing. We have good prospects. Just because someone doesn’t want them to tank doesn’t mean that don’t want them to succeed. I mean. What if we don’t tank and brown batherson brannstrom and JDB actually turn into superstars? I mean..... would we have NEEDED to tank in that case? No. Everyone here wants the team succeed.
That being said. I believe two consecutive bottom 2 finishes gives us the best chance at this point.

 

[Byron Bitz]

I’m not too worried about the non tank. This scouting staff has showed they can find stars outside the top 5. You also have to consider the fact that the team playing well means the players are better than we thought which means there’s more value on our roster which is good long term. I like that Pageaus trade value has skyrocketed.

Don't know if this was a sarcastic post but fans on either side of the fence just wants the team to win a cup. The goal is the same despite the path being different

Valid points can be made for both sides that makes sense to a certain degree.

I personally want that top 2 pick. Mentioned before but having the organization bring in a really highly touted player in the ilk of Laf or Byfield does more for this organization off the ice than people would initially think. It would rejuvenate the fanbase. Garner interest from current, past and new fans and not just in Ottawa.

Ouf players being better than we thought is scary cuz we’ve heard it before

I just typed a huge post to this and for some reason this horrible page deleted it. Anyway you’re wrong. This team is playing awesome right now. We have a string of games coming up to test the theory of how good we are. I’m all for the team to keep playing well. This is more than just a few meaningless wins. We beat a hot Flyers team. Beat the Canadiens. Nearly beat the Stanley cup champs. This team is playing like a team and it’s fun to watch. Call me a short Sighted bad fan. I could give a crap what you think of me actually. Let this team keep winning. It’s fun to watch!

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I've been too busy to watch much hockey.

Are we better than the Tampa Bay Lightning now?

Was #contendforaplayoffspot not as foolish as it seemed?

Or are we going to ruin it all by jinxing ourselves with a video package narrated by Kathleen Edwards?

Most of all. Do we finally win the Mika Zibanejad trade?

Honest question

How many guys that dressed in last night's game do you think were interested in winning versus losing to get the 1OA.

Pro athletes are wired to win. I think this year has been a pleasant surprise

Talking about fans and management. Obviously.
