Player Discussion Mike Kelly of SportLogiq discusses Sens and Players w the Boys on 1200

[Tragedy]

When Friedman spoke on how Dorion had a trade in place but the dman blocked it, what if it was Karlsson? Maybe he just straight up doesn't want to come back.

What if it was Cale Makar? We're not trading for Karlsson

Are we talking HF, or general public?

I think most people around here at least had expectations of being a bubble team if all went well.

I don't recall too many people assuming we were playoff bound.

It goes to the point of coming up with a specific definition in this case of a fanbase. I'd say there was a fair bit of unbridled optimism in here, but have no way of really quantifying it. I wouldn't call it a majority of Senator HFers though. I agree with that. I think there was a segment of the Twitter crowd that were off the charts with optimism. I think the preseason smack talk is always dumb and has a habit of backfiring. Signing this player or that player is great. But, hockey is a team game. You still have to see how the players mesh together.

Lives in Ottawa every summer, and skates with the Ottawa guys, so I doubt it Was Karlsson.

Good

Was a very good interview. We need to temper expectations for this season. Playoffs were never a option.

However slow start was not a option either but this young team still has a lot of maturing to do.
