Post-Game Talk: Game 4: Tampa @ Ottawa 4pm (TSN5)

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Anisimov didn't finish the game, maybe they call up Brown.

Brown with a pair of goals in Belleville tonight so far.

Sorry I’m late, got mixed up between Tampa Bay and Bay of Fundy...

Are you from Newfoundland ?

 

[Cosmix]

He moved to the US as an 8 months old. He returned at age 8 to Russia for a few years before returning yet again.

Good to see he's doing well so far with you guys. He's a good guy and can play anywhere in the lineup - although ideally not on your top line. He's very talented and a good skater but lack of "hockey IQ" and vision caused him to become a trade chip eventually for Tampa.

We are starting a collection of that type.

Something tells me T.Ennis was predestined for a different sport.

Horse racing?

No.

Not sure about that but his brother Pat is a bit of a dick...

Roster move coming tomorrow before Monday’s game? That’s a prediction by the way. My guess is at least one guy gets called up. I would think Brannstrom is sent back. Maybe Lajoie recalled?

Why do you think Brannstrom will be sent down?

 

[swiftwin]

I though Brannstrom had a pretty solid game.

 

[JD1]

Anisimov left injured. DJ probably decided to just roll 3 lines. Both of them had a pretty bad game.

DJ said in the post game presser that TB was rolling three lines and with the Anisimov injury it made it easy for him to do so also.

He also said Anisimov may play Monday

 

[Langdon Alger]

Why do you think Brannstrom will be sent down?

Good question. I guess I just haven’t seen a lot from him so far, and because he’s young he may still need more time in the AHL. I haven’t felt he’s been bad, but I haven’t noticed much that he has done so far. Maybe that’s just me though.

How would you assess his play so far?

If you don't notice a Dman, that's usually a good thing.

I was at the game today...first time I've seen him play live....nothing I saw today suggests he is going anywhere...he'll gain confidence skating with the puck...and the pass he made to Ryan for the first goal was a beauty

The penalty he took was odd. He clearly got dumped there and ends up with the interference play... I thought that was a brutal call

 

[Langdon Alger]

A stay at home dman, yes, but a guy who is supposed to contribute offence? You usually want to notice that guy.

Well, as long as he gets keeps moving in the right direction then he should be here. How do you feel about Hainsey as his partner?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Imagine if Namestnikov breaks out here and nets us a first at the deadline. That'd be so dope. Didn't see the game anyone have thought on his game? Dude had 20+ minutes tonight with tons of special teams play. That's huge.

On the whole I think our D is a big upgrade from last year

Zaitsev looks to me to be >>> Ceci

Off the top of my head I'd guess Lajoie and Jaros played 120 between them last year and even with an injury to Wolanin both find themselves in the A. Demelo is slotted down a bit. I think Hainsey is at the end of the line and that he'll see his ice decrease as the year goes along. I think he's a good insulator for the year.

I got a kick out of DJ referring to him as uncle Ronnie in the post game presser.

Watching Chabot at the O blue line...holy f*** he's slick

He played very well, obviously won’t keep up the points but he handles the puck well and plays solid 200 foot game. If he keeps it up I bet they look to sign him, they need good older players

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

IMO he’s going to take a while offensively but he is already better defensively than Chabot was as a rookie. He’s impressed me defensively

You're not wrong but if he's coveted at the TD, I'd hope we won't sit on the asset. We need some quality vets but he's 26 and will likely be looking for a big long term deal if he has a good year. We can get some short term guys like we did this year in free agency.

We all agree that Boro still sucks right?

he is good on the camera and in commercials

Boro is Boro. On any given night he can get burned bad but he makes guys pay and he offers up his head as a punching bag quite regularly which I'm sure if your on the team and tend to dislike getting punched in the head you probably appreciate
