Post-Game Talk: Game 6 | Senators vs Golden Knights | Thur. Oct. 17th, 10pm | RDS, TSN5

[Slack]

Yeah... I think it's just Brannstrom, right?

And the funny thing is he'd likely not be up here if not for Wolanin's injury. So we have one rookie here because we have to.

 

[jbeck5]

Abramov is a similar player to Ennis, but more skilled. Why do we even have Ennis, if we have Abramov?

Is abramov more skilled than Ennis or is he just younger, faster, and has more drive to prove himself... Not like Ennis is crazy talented but I'm sure abramov would be happy to have a few 20 goal years by his late 20s.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

I was driving to work today listening to Team 1200, and they're still playing Sens tickets ads promoting all the new and exciting rookies.

... Featuring 28-year-old AHL lifer Jordan Szwarz.

Yeah they REALLY have to stop that narrative.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Guys, they said the kids would be alright but they never said where.

 

[Micklebot]

Boro and Demelo have the highest corsi% out of Ottawa's defense, while getting around 64% of d zone starts (64.7% and 63.6% respectively). Likely has to do with being on the ice less often more than anything, but still. I'd say Demelo has been complementing to Boro, and they look fine on the 3rd pairing.

Uhm... something weird is going on. Corsica has very different numbers.

Just looking at 5v5 for DeMelo:

	OZ	DZ	NZ	ZS%
Corsica	20	17	32	54.05%
Natural Stat trick	6	18	13	25.00%
Hockey reference	NA	NA	NA	35.3

My understanding is the NHL has switched over to a new system to a new software tracking system, I know it screwed up shot location data, but it appears some other data might be affected too.

For the time being, I'm not at all confident in any advanced stats for the current season.

They're fine!

I used Hockey-reference, I know there has been some issues with the shot tracking, didn't know there was any problems with zone starts. Interesting.

Corsi numbers are inconsistent too.

DeMelo 5v5	CF	CA	CF%
Corsica	64	51	55.65
Natural Stat trick	87	83	51.18
Hockey reference	55	48	53.4

Who cares about Mark 'effin' Stone. This going to be a coming-out-party for Brannstrom

 

[DrEasy]

Eh, to me by that point Kelly's skating had erased any hint of defensive presence of physicality.

It's hard to go back and validate lines, so while there may have been some horrendous combo like Bala Ylonen Ciernik or Dahlman-Langfield-Hull, I can't say they played as a line

Heck, for all I know we had a line of Phil Crowe, Dave Hannon and Denny Lambert. They played in at least a game together, so maybe...

Any line with Matt Kassian on it must be the worst line we ever had.

He has to be in the top 3 worst players I've seen in the NHL.

Brannstrom will get 5 points. He wants to get revenge on Vegas for trading him to such a crappy team.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Paul is in, Boedker out. Anisimov remains unable to play.

 

[Deku]

Franky Lessard says hello

They are both in there

 

[Cosmix]

Paul is in, Boedker out. Anisimov remains unable to play.

I will watch Paul carefully tonight to see how many hits he makes, given his “new” direction from the new coaching staff.

That kinda looks like the readings from my 5 hygrometers.

 

[supsens]

I don`t mind the lines, though they could be better if they bothered calling up NHL caliber players... Not sure what Szwars is doing up or how Paul is supposed to make an impression playing with him and Boedker.

They might not call up some players in order to not expose them to the expansion draft?

 

[Micklebot]

Only 1st and 2nd year pros are exempt. AHL counts as a pro year to my understanding so callups mean nothing

 

[BondraTime]

Finally game day.

Not excited for the game so much, but been eagerly awaiting the great commentary from @Another Mr Lizard

 

[JungleBeat]

“The kids are alright” is a terrible marketing slogan ha.

Toonie tuesday was already taken.

It is almost like if the team didn’t even have a chief marketing officer or something.

Franky Lessard says hello

Literally the first name that came to my mind, haha.

McDonalds threatened to pull their ad money when we tried to call this year's version of the team a Value Meal.
