Post-Game Talk: Jackets @ Sens October 18 | Bob Cole: The Lucky Buddha

[2CHAINZ]

Does this mean we'll make dragon ball z avatars

I certainly hope so

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

So we're 4th in league standings right now. Must mean we're a contender

 

[SilverSeven]

Not a perfect win but still a win.

Not sure why Ryan-Zibanejad-Chiasson are being used as the defensive line.

Its insane eh? Dont know how it ended...but after the first period they had gone FIVE straight periods without an offensive zone start. What the hell? That could easily be our most offensive line.

With coaching like that they wont get a lot of points.

 

[Super Cake]

Honestly, i don't think our shots against will ever change. I just think the system we play will cause a ton of shots on net.

The Sens did a good job of removing the rebounds and making sure no Jacket players got in front of the net though.

 

[Micklebot]

38 shots against? Progress is slow!

I think it was 38 saves, 40 shots. Could be wrong though,


<checks NHL.com> Nope, 40 SOG...

 

[OttawaSenators11]

We can easily be 0-5 if it wasn't for Andy and Lehner.

We'll take the W's anyway he can though!

 

[costermonger]

We led the division again for a solid 90 seconds.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Nice to get another 2 points. It feels like we're just scraping by in every game so far this season. Hard on the nerves, but hopefully it will be worth it when the guys really start to gel and grow throughout the season.

But man, I really wish some of those guys would learn to move their feet a little more, especially in our own zone. A tiny bit more hustle and we could've cleared the zone a whole lot better, especially in the third.

 

[BK201]

Was Legwand the player who had the puck in our end and passed it 4 feet to someone who lost the puck, when Legwand could have cleared the puck easily out of the zone?

There break out is bad don't blame leggy. He didn't loose the puck.

 

[Knave]

Not a perfect win but still a win.

Not sure why Ryan-Zibanejad-Chiasson are being used as the defensive line.

They looked physically and mentally tired - especially after the Chiasson shot block where he was clearly injured with at least a bad bruise (he was limping to the bench but decided to suck it up for this game).

That depends on how next weeks My Little Pony themed GDT goes.

 

[bornNraised Sens]

other then a 5-10 min slip during the second ottawa played really well i thought. A fair amount of those shots were low quality chances from the outside though. Game by game were improving little thigns that are adding up. Grat to see Hoffman show his value in this game, man he was amazing

 

[BK201]

I certainly hope so

Maybe I will Millhouse, maybe I will.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Use your title quo!!!

 

[Novak Djokovic]

I miss you Methot

Me too.

If they wanna use Zibanejad and Chiasson for defensive reasons then get Ryan off that line.

MacArthur-Turris-Stone
Hoffman-Lazar-Ryan
Smith-Zibanejad-Chiasson
Michalek-Legwand-Neil

 

[Sun God Nika]

This guy looked really pissed off at the homeopener for not playing

Ok now you have to make a MLP avatar.

 

[NyQuil]

Hoffman with his best performance yet.

My heart skipped a beat when Stone went off with the knee on knee - that guy must have stolen the puck 3 or 4 times cleanly again tonight.

Columbus really brought it there at the end - Senators managed to hold on, but my God, those plays by Ryan and Legwand are inexcusable at that point in the game.

Nice to see Karlsson with the shot block to save the game.

If we had put one of those chances in on the 5 on 3, it might have been a different game.

Foligno's bad luck in putting his goalie in the net was countered by his good luck when they scored that goal that went off Lazar's foot which galvanized the Blue Jackets.

Not sure why the announcers were so hard on Ryan, aside from that goof near the end, he made a lot of solid defensive plays all game.

2 points, still a lot of work to do.

It seems as if Gryba ices the puck virtually every time he has the puck.

 

[Micklebot]

There break out is bad don't blame leggy. He didn't loose the puck.

Dying mins of the game with the net empty and a clear look to get out and he passed it without making sure the zone was cleared, oh and we had been hemmed in for a bit. That one was on him, he was thinking empty net when he should have been playing a bit safer.

 

[Micklebot]

Ok now you have to make a MLP avatar.

Are there any MLP robots?

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

So local board hate-getters Phillips and Neil are playing very good so far. Neil has 3 or 4 points.

This is a different team without Spezza for sure.

 

[SaltyPete]

My main issue with using Zibby's line in a defensive role is that none of them are particularly strong at breaking the puck out of the zone, most likely due to the lack of footspeed/acceleration between the three of them. I'd prefer to give them the offensive zone starts and let them dominate the opposition on the cycle.

 

[NyQuil]

So local board hate-getters Phillips and Neil are playing very good so far. Neil has 3 or 4 points.

Most of the team is playing pretty well - at least as far as the forwards go.

It's nice to feel comfortable with all four lines out there.

Don't CHANGE anything MacLean.

Still not overly impressed with Gryba or Wiercioch. You'd think Cowen will slot in at some point.

 

[Deku]

This guy looked really pissed off at the homeopener for not playing

lmao I thought the same thing on Thursday night when I saw his face
