GDT: Game 7 | New Jersey @ Ottawa | October 17th, 7:30pm | Sportsnet East | Home Opener

I know Pageau and Da Costa earned a spot by outplaying Zbad, but they've been terrible in the bottom six. Zbad or JOB just seem like more effective options in the bottom six, bigger and more physical. Personally the bottom six should be

Greening-Zbad-Condra
Kassian/JOB-Smith-Neil

There is an easy fix for this.

Greening- Pageau-Condra as the 3rd line.

heck even Smith-Pageau-Condra works but then greening is being wasted.

 

[UnHappyDude]

Greening - Smith - Condra
Kassian - JOB - Neil

Thats the only way to do it. Pageau needs to work on his game. Especially after that 3 minute night

 

[derriko]

Honestly I would send down Pageau, release Da Costa after Zib gets a few more games down there, and trade Smith.

Smith can be replaced with JOB or even someone like Meuller or Steckel. Zack doesn't seem to want to fight or hit anymore so toughness isn't being affected.

 

[Smash88]

Anyone know what kind of jerseys they sell at the Sens store at CTC? Is it the premier ones or the edge ones?

Ottawa should make a play at a bottom 6 forward with some decent hands to play with Zibanejad when he gets called up.

Greening-Smith-Neil should be our permanent 4th line.

I know he's not a very good bottom six type guy, but a shot might be worth giving to Meuller. He may fit into our offensive system, and he can play wing.

Sick GDT! Lets do it! So stoked for the home opener!

I don't think we need a prototypical 3rd liner.

Anyone that can play with Mika would be a +.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I think the Sens are going to give Pageau some more time. If he doesn't start playing better Zibby will probably get his spot.

 

[The EnigmatiC Soul*]

Good to have our boys at home! Been a rocky start but I think we start to put things together here at home!

Going to watch the game in my Pageau jersey my gf got me for my birthday (which was before preseason started ) Hoping he can score a goal tonight and stave off a demotion, because sadly he has not been the same intense player he was in the playoffs and to start the season out.


4-2 Sens Greening with the winner.

Trust me, we have had it worse this year.

Against Calgary we get 1 goal taken back , which was complete BS and then the refs give the Flames 2 random PP's which they score on both

Then this happens against Winnipeg

haha that ones pretty wild... Ottawa has been very undisciplined thus far, so I guess we should take the over. Its gonna be 4 on 4 all night with this kind of reffing and undisciplined play.

 

[Back in Black]

Are they having the outdoor beer tent and all that tonight? Might go a bit early if so..

Don't forget the RED CARPET @ 4:30 pm, meet & greet the players!

On my way now, woo-hoo!

 

[NyQuil]

All the best to our friends in NJ, but hearing them gripe about their schedule to start the season and refereeing makes me laugh a little.

And cry.

Greening - Smith - Condra
Kassian - JOB - Neil

Thats the only way to do it. Pageau needs to work on his game. Especially after that 3 minute night

Oh yeah the night when he won 2 of 3 faceoffs and the rest of the team blew it and allowed 2 goals? how is it his fault that he won back 2 draws and both turned into goals?

Looks like someone didn't watch last game...

 

[Super Cake]

I wish they would show the opening ceremony on tv, but they usually don't.

 

[Senatorian]

i thought they'd play corvo this time

Gryba is playing again good grief.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

What are the odds Kassian doesn't get in a single fight this season and Maclean still plays him 70+ games

I love the coach but come on man

Not even that. He is horrible skater, can't handle puck to save his life and only has 3 hits in 3 games.

DaCosta had 4 hits in 4 games for comparison's sake.

Wtf is Kassian doing there. He literally drags an entire line down with him.

just to add Pageau has 8 hits in 6 games.

I prefer Kassian in over SDC, only because like i said SDC extra minutes get distributed throughout the rest of the roster.

EDIT; Just noticed SDC got waived..

Just saw that on hockeybuzz.

[KarlssonnSchultz]

Gryba and Kassian should probably stop getting ice time in the very near future for the sake of this team...

That being said, we should still be able to easily handle the Devils.

Go Sens Go!
