He's a whiner! Or is he a Wiener?Malkin was grievously injured on Hamonic’s cross check and then returned for the second shift of the PP.

I hope Jacques is not employing a defence only strategy with a 2 goal lead in the third period. We saw enough of that under a previous coach. Perhaps it is a "baby steps" approach to fix what has been ailing this team.21-11 shots us through 2
23-4 in the 3rd
Why do they just stop playing
Norris deserved much more than 50% on that TMM. He should know better than to jump onto the ice without checking to see if his man is/has stepped off the ice. That was a brain dead move!With Martin just starting I think everyone gets a clean slate. First step teach and if repeated sit a few shifts.
The TMM penalty was 50% on Norris, 25% on Giroux and 25% on the staff.
Surly isn't he?I do not wish a Merry Christmas to Kevin Bieksa
I guess we can only play 2 out of 3 periods a game. More coaching to do.So we just traded awful 2nd periods for awful 3rd periods?

I am. But for a shift or 3 only while a chat takes place.Ok. So guys here want accountability
Ridley Greig, a clear favorite on this board, takes yet another offensive zone useless penalty 2 minutes into the game. That leads to a bench minor and a lengthy 5 on 3.
How many here are good with Ridley's ass stapled to the bench? Cause that's what accountability looks like
How many high danger even strength chances were there ? I don’t know.I hope Jacques is not employing a defence only strategy with a 2 goal lead in the third period. We saw enough of that under a previous coach. Perhaps it is a "baby steps" approach to fix what has been ailing this team.
Need some read and react training!Lucky win. Could have gone either way.
Shitty panicked, hemmed in play killed the third.
Need some confidence training.
I wonder if they know what each other player's job is! Heck, do they even know how to do their own job? I expect Jacques to fix that, but it will take some time.They don't trust each other. Always trying to do each other's jobs.
Ah, the full Canadian: watching the Senators play hockey and having . . . at the same time!F**king screamed and climaxed
I'm not saying it wasn't time. But so many posters didn't have the ability or just wanted to blame him for absolutely everything.
There were/are pure DJ haters. To say there wasn't has thousands of pages of proof to say otherwise. I always try to honestly assess and break down plays, periods and games. So many times the conversation would die because no one wanted to have the real conversation as it's too hard to face. This team is broken at a very deep level. It's going to take a while to get out of it.
Again DJ had to go the way he was coaching this team didn't line up with how it's built.
Jacques has identified the biggest issue they arent aggressive enough on pucks. They play too loose. He's right they need to play with more speed. More puck pressure with tighter gaps. Especially in the neutral zone and at the blue lines. This teams mind set Needs to be puck pressure at all times. It's going to take a long time to execute.this over 60 minutes consistently it won't be a smooth transition but it is how they should play.
That being said this team has alot of selfish players that need to fully buy in. It's gonna take some time.
I have seen refs call penalties for things that did not occur. Then we have Chychrun fall to the ice, bleeding and these idiot refs cannot call a penalty which obviously occurred.These refs are absolute morons
Uhhh where's the helmet vid?
You can’t wait for the man you are replacing to get on the bench, Giroux looked to be coming offNorris deserved much more than 50% on that TMM. He should know better than to jump onto the ice without checking to see if his man is/has stepped off the ice. That was a brain dead move!

Typically the player coming off signals the bench, Giroux didn't. I agree Giroux looked like he might go for a change, and maybe should have too. I suspect part of the confusion comes from the old system of Giroux being out for the faceoff on the PK and immediately changingYou can’t wait for the man you are replacing to get on the bench, Giroux looked to be coming off
Wait did Stu mention Kells blocked 5 shots in a row. . I did not see that mentioned in the GDT .. surprising lol
I didn't get to focus much on the game so I don't know the sequence he's referencing.Well, Kelly was only credited with 3 blocks all game, so maybe Stu is including disrupting passes?
Must have misread your original post then. So we are in agreeance that DJ should have been fired years ago. Dog shit coach who couldn’t get any structure out of the players. Far too loosy goosy.There it is! Appreciate backing my point up immediately.
I think it was the third period pk, but I'm not sureI didn't get to focus much on the game so I don't know the sequence he's referencing.
Yes and it's work in progress but I have confidence in Jacques and Alfie and the coach staffI found the Senators played too passively and let the Penguins get back into the game. Lots of work for Jacques to do. Lots of learning still to take place by the players.
Pens PP is 13.7%, dead last in the league. Our boys do look more organized, but hard to judge until we play a team with a good PP. The Leafs are at 26.4%, 4th in the league. We'll see how they do on the PK on the 27th.Our PK has greatly improved
Country music. He passed in 1997 so probably before many of this board's time. I didn't notice it during the broadcast but John Denver's most famous song is Country Roads so it may have been that. If it was, have to admit, I like that song and know most of the lyrics lol.Apparently it is a John Denver song?
No clue who that is.
