Pre-Game Talk: Game 4, SENS in NY, Thursday 7:30 pm

[jason2020]

Ottawa has not led a single minute of this series, and we are up 2-1. I expect us to play well. EK looks slower the usual, Anderson always gets wiggy in the playoffs and feels the pressure, after a game at MSG he should settle down.

Game of the year. It'll be interesting. Ottawa got destroyed in game 3. I expect us to be better, but the Rangers are big, fast and scary.

Their weakness I still say is Lunqvist, and that'll show itself. When it does, we need to win those games or we won't win the series. We can't have them win games were Lunqvist let's in bad goals.

Ottawa has had the lead a couple times.

I think Boucher goes full vet for this one:
Pyatt
Neil
Boro

to shake things up

And of course no Condon...

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Turris, Karlsson and Anderson have to be our best players this game.

Turris has yet to show up this series offensively. Stone has yet to not be a liability this series.

We need our top guns to show up. Brassard too. Only Hoffman has been a consistent threat among our top forwards.

IMO you gotta insert White and Pyatt. They would fit perfectly against the fast-skating and checking Rangers.

 

[OmniSens]

Expecting a big turnaround game from us. Grinding win

You forgot Kelly....

Ottawa has had the lead a couple times.

Only for 4 minutes at the end of game 1. Never lead in game 2 or 3.

 

[Back in Black]

21 hours to g0

 

[Sensinitis]

Pyatt and Wideman likely in, sweet!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Usually I am very pessimistic, but I think we can grind out a win. I think Rangers also play with a bit less urgency.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Pyatt in for Stone please, that will light a fire under Stone for game 5.

stone is injured

 

[OD99]

Who does Wideman replace?

Pyatt in for Smith?

 

[EK65IsAGod]

eezee peezee win.

 

[BonkTastic]

stone is injured

LOL, seriously.

I love that people think that "benching" Stone will have an effect on his game at all. The guy bleeds hockey, he's one of the most focused players on the team. It's clear that there's something wrong with him that goes beyond anything that "nacho time in the press box" can fix.

It's not an effort issue. You can't shame his body back together by healthy scratching him.

Who does Wideman replace?

Knowing how Boucher's system works, probably Claesson.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Would be nice to get the first goal for once.

 

[chipsens]

Can Andy learn to stop shoot-arounds with his body, or will Boucher have him stapled to his crease?! The Happy Wanderer...no more gift goals please.

Edit...Sens didn't practice, so no.

I'm hoping it's a less hook, clutch, & grab game. Will help if the Senators can keep moving the puck around the Rangers forecheck so the referees don't get in the mood for that kind of game.

Lol, I half expect him to try to stop wrap-arounds by chasing their player behind the net.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

A huge no to Kelly, Neil or Boro. We need speed.

Boucher damned well better learn to trust White in a hurry, cause he's a better option than our dinosaurs. We simply can't let the Rangers skate circles around us again.

[Sens of Anarchy]

I think the Rangers will be as good. Sens have to be a lot better. Pay the price.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

The GDT's open. Let's take discussion there.
