Letsgoo huge loss!!

 

[Team_Spirit]

I'm gonna pretend these shootout attempts were intentional tanking.

Lane Hutson szn lfg

Key loss. Should've been in regulation, but Ottawa still stays ahead.

Caufield with a career-high 27 goals and counting! Not bad for a bad season.

 

[Bottle Rocket]

Only two more to go. Can't wait to see Hutson. Can Slaf get to 20 goals. Can Caufield get to 30. Future is bright.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Man we needed that, can't believe the sens came back late then won it in shootout. Perhaps the hockey Gods are smiling on us afterall.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Victory for the tank.

 

[WatchfulElm]

I really don't like the tanking philosophy, but at this point in the season, with how tight the ranking is, this loss might do more good than bad in the long run.

trade Matheson for a king's ransom to a GM who only looks at G,A,P statline.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Clutch loss but getting dunked by the Sens year after year, that has to stop next year

Considering we were 1:05mins from 2 points for us and 0 for Ottawa

This is definitely gonna have to do lol

 

[Naslundforever]

I laughed when Matheson fumbled the 2v1 then even harder when Caufield forgot the puck; had a warm thought for all rooting for the loss

 

[Heffyhoof]

I'm convinced Caufield and Suzuki mailed it in during the shootout. On the sportsnet broadcast you can even see Suzuki giving I think Savard a smirk as they go towards the tunnel.

 

[Rapala]

Our Captain was smarter than their Captain end of story.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Good loss.

Habs will start crushing them next season when the sens are still spinning in mud.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I think Suzuki might be pro-tank. He missed 2 prime scoring chances in OT. Then did a nothing shot in shoot-out.

OT was fun.

Good to see Caufield score twice.

No points for Suzuki or Slafkovsky though.

 

[Hannibal]

Huge loss. Hate the 1 point but a lot better than a regulation win

 

[NewDef]

I really don't like the tanking philosophy, but at this point in the season, with how tight the ranking is, this loss might do more good than bad in the long run.

That really is the spirit. At this point, we don't want them to learn a loser mentality but losing a good game after scoring 4 goals is win-win.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Good on Detroit for winning too, that'll keep them engaged for our games against them.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

That OT was really exciting to watch. Sad to see Suzuki likely not getting 80 points - still, an amazing season for him, and can't wait to see what he and Slafkovsky + Caufield will be able to do next season!

Not trying for the empty net was the play of the game!
