Marc Methot Appreciation Thread

[SpezDispenser]

Imagine our blueline without him...

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I want another one just like him

 

[Sun God Nika]

I had a sens fan at college try to convince me that Methot is a useless plug...

That's pretty funny. There are so many other players on this team to rag on than Methot

Which college? Gonq?

Literally, the Sens need to acquire another D-man exactly like him...now...how do we do that...???

Trade Lazar and a pick.

By gunpoint??cloning??

Not enough to get a dman,of Methot,s calibre right now ,they are at a premium

That would explain it

He's a big help to our team, we lack decent defenseman but he's one of those decent defensemen for sure.

Am I the only one that finds it concerning that Marc Methot just hasn't been very good this year?

Does he get a free pass cause he's local? Or does he get the benefit of the doubt because he has been solid in the past??

His fancy stats are not good, his fancy stats away from Karlsson are amongst the worst of our D-men, yet, when we criticize our D, we jump of Weir and Boro (justifiably so) or Ceci.

You used to notice Methot on the ice, but now he seems to be very ordinary. Is he playing hurt?

A top 4 playing top 2.

Well, he has missed time to injury, so I'm pretty sure he's not 100%. Those beautiful hip checks of his might be a thing of the past. I noticed Karlsson throwing a couple of those lately though, maybe as a tribute?

 

[Baby Ryan]

I'd like to think he's hurt. Probably banged up quite a bit.

He missed a few games due to a concussion and lower body injury did he not? Memory is fuzzy

 

[bert]

He certainly hasnt played like he did in the past couple seasons. Its very concerning.

 

[BatherSeason]

Not really sure if he is hurting the team, I just feel like the positive aspects he brought to the team were quite apparent in the past few years, while this year,you barely even notice when he is on the ice

Usually a good thing.....also leading team in plus/minus on a minus team.

Just pointing out the obvious, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I will agree that he hasn't been as "good" as the past few seasons. I'd like to drop him to the 2nd pairing eventually if his play continues into next season. Or realistically a solid anchor on the third pairing if we can get another D up front. Which will be tough. But we'll worry about that next year. Maybe in 2 years Chabot slides in and we drop Methot to the 3rd pair.

He is by no means bad. But his peak (a top 3 guy playing as a top 2, and pulling it off very well) may have passed.

This is exactly what I have been thinking too.

A 1-2 year stop gap (Gunnarsson) would do wonders for the left side while Chabot develops.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

He looked like Hoffman when he scored that goal last night.
Maybe we move him to top line LW?

Love Methot but his lack of offense is an issue ,for a top 4 guy

Anyone and everyone is lacking offense when they have to be Karlsson's partner.

Methot pinches like a boss.

Kuba begs to differ.

 

[pm88]

I hope he isn't about to decline starting next season. He's still pretty young at 30 so he might just be trying to play through an injury. I'm a big fan of the guy. At his best he's a solid defensive guy who plays with a nasty streak to his game and I hope he still has that going forward

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Kuba begs to differ.

Sure, Karlsson as a rookie wasn't quite the offensive dynamo he is now.

Ground-breaking stuff there.
