Montreal & Ottawa (7:30 PM) - Sept. 25

[Here I Pageau Again]

Yeah, I bet you still think Peter Regin is amazing because of his one playoff year. Im not saying Pageau can be great, its just that a lot of people are convinced he is a total star after last playoffs.

IMO Pageau has been WAY more consistent that Da Costa.

I honestly don't remember thinking Pageau has been bad since he's had the opportunity to play. Da Costa on the other had, one game I think YEAH he's great, then the next he doesn't show up.

Pageau has worked incredibly hard, and he's been at least one of the best players on the ice in the entire training camp, from playoffs last season to prospects tournament to preseason.

The only thing holding Pageau down is his contract, IMO. He deserves a shot on the team.

Has Hoffman even played a game yet? In the words of Jared Cowen "what is the deal with that?"

He played one game.

Maybe they want to do the opposite of showcasing, maybe they want to hide him as they want him to clear waivers.

bryan murray is a genius.

This stream will also be good to go at game time:

So Pageau's four points in nine games count for consistency?
Forget the hometown bias, Pageau simply is not that good. He MIGHT be a 40-point player. MIGHT be. Da Costa, if he plays the ice time and roles needed for a skill player of his type, has the potential to be a Top Six forward, it's unfortunate that MacLean doesn't see his potential.

Da Costa is 2 1/2 years older.

Something to keep in mind.

You really believe Da Costa will be a top 6 forward in this league? Really?

 

[Liliaceae]

Beat their *****! Go Sens!

clearly a joke?

Yes

 

[Carrie Underwood]

I feel like conacher is going to have a big game to solidify his spot on the second line

 

[MainDotC]

If the game comes in GCL I will stream it tonight, but lately I've been getting the shaft for preseason games.

Ahhh, the pre-game smack talk has begun

Do you really think that a guy like Maclean doesn't understand what it takes to make an effective NHL player?

Saw on the habs board that it will be.

 

[PatrickEaves]

He sucks.

Worse hockey IQ I've ever seen in a offensive minded hockey player.

 

[dennilfloss]

Will there be head games? Let's hope so.

 

[Milan the God*]

Is this game also on Rogers 22?

I'm just saying, Pageau's nine game debut certainly can't be seen as 'consistency'

 

[PaGEEsBack]

I'd argue Pageau has been the best and most consistent Senator since his call up. There's a reason he's turning heads amongst our fanbase. In a world of Bobby Butlers and Brandon Bochenskis, JG Pageau has carved out a special spot in this franchise.

If we can get a legit French-Canadian star in JGP (1 more than the Canadiens have had in 20+ years) it will do wonders for this team and the growth of it's young fanbase.

What do you make of Da Costa's?

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Da Costa is 2 1/2 years older.

3 and half years older. July 89 vs. Nov 92.

How so? I don't understand what you mean by him not being consistent. If there was one way to describe his play during his call up it was "consistent". Consistently the first guy to the puck, consistently good in his own end, consistently creating scoring chances.

He played 19 games, not 9 by the way.

 

[BK201]

Is this on tv at all?

 

[Indrew]

You have to give him a chance to prove he is consistent before you can say he isn't.
