GDT: NY Rangers at Ottawa Senators - 7PM - TSN2 and RDS - Two for Tuesday

[L'Aveuglette]

Well, it's got to start somewhere, we beat Seattle and people said it didn't matter until we strong together more wins, now we beat NYR and it don't matter.

Maybe take a moment and enjoy the win, and how they played to get it.

Well they're right. This is the first real good game we've played in weeks against a top opponent.

Got to find something to complain about I guess,

 

[Cosmix]

Joseph is untouchable for me. Skates like a superstar.

He has definitely increased his value to the team and as an NHL player.

 

[Cosmix]

very good analyst; Breaks it down well

Assistant Coach material?

 

[Cosmix]

Eh, would've been better in hindsight, but Laf has been coming on as of late. Small victories. You know how it goes.

Yes we do; Daigle was his name!

 

[Cosmix]

Man I hate December. Too many chores.

Must be married and harried!

There were there early in the year but a couple games where they didn’t get a save vs Detroit and Buffalo and they spiralled. Injuries didn’t help either.

Agreed, plus there is still work to do in our D zone to reduce shots against.

I think Forsberg was the real #1 star in this game.

We still have a lot of room to improve.

 

[NyQuil]

The rangers looked like they wanted to lose. The whole team seemed unimpressive. Are we just that much better than our record says?

I think it’s pretty clear that it wasn’t their best effort.

Nice to actually take full advantage.

 

[robsenz]

Wasn't happy after the last win. Happy Tonight, top six was fully effective, was nice to see.
Kubalik getting involved and Tarasenko going full vintage mode was overdue.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Well that completely made up for seeing that Panthers game.

Game notes:

 

[SensFactor]

Need to do it Thursday again

 

[Ice-Tray]

We still have room to improv……. Blah blah blah…. What a friggin game to watch! NHL regular season entertainment at its finest

Just finished this bad boy and am impressed at how we made one of the best teams in the league look like us, and us like them

Woohoo, gonna go bask in some good vibes.

Well done folks, those 90’s movies really brought this one home!

I took a moment to enjoy it lol. A moment. When the buzzer sounded. The game ended a while ago. Now i worry about the Toronto game.

You sound fun….

 

[OD99]

That might have been the best non-goalie save I've ever seen

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

That was a phenomenal game.

Considering the opponent, that was one of our best win in years. Almost perfect game.

We needed that. JBD had his best game as a Senator. Lol, he only played 13 minutes though.

Moreover, Brannstrom with maybe his best overall game as a Senator too.

I've always been a huge Claude Giroux fan, but goddamn, this man is making a case for all-time favourite

The prepaid parking passes are in a less than convenient lot IMO.

Lot 6? Ya that's new. Last year we were able to park in lot 4.

You have to park on the right side as you enter that lot. Roughly I'd guess 1/3 of the spots are on the right, 2/3rds on the left but each side has a lane. If you're on the left side unless you're right on the edge of the exit lane, it takes forever

 

[JD1]

I mean NYR definitely didn't play their best game, but that won't stop Ottawa from acting like the train is right back on the tracks. Listening to the postgame show right now you'd almost forget that we're barely a .500 team with the easiest schedule in the league lol.

Easiest schedule in the league? Wtf are you talking about? There's no site that shows our schedule strength has been the easiest in the league.

The only fortunate piece about the low number of games played is Chabot and Greig missing less games while recovering

Show me any link, from anywhere, where the players or coaches are happy about less games played other than them mentioning the Chabot situation

Quote after quote the players are saying they can't get in a rhythm. I don't even need to post it for you because that's come up in many articles the past few weeks.

This will be 5-4 soon, followed by a 5-5 goal in the final 2 minutes. Then NY ends it with seconds left.

These types of posts are sad.

When it comes to my sports fandom. I am not fun

 

[OgieO]

I think the Rangers abandoned all intent on defending but that's a really fun win. Sure, Rangers fans will say that was the 3rd in 4 nights but we need the good vibes. Nice energy from the team and a fun win. Hopefully Norris starts to round into form and we can get/stay healthy. Having three good lines is different.

Why be positive when they play well eh. Whats the point in that. Negativity would be much better.

Well let’s have the team prove to us that they can play well for a stretch long enough to get us into the playoffs.

We played a lot of home games, that seems to get equated as easy, over the last 5 seasons, home teams have a pts% of .589 or a 97 pts pace while road teams .522 or an 86 pts pace, so there's certainly some degree of "soft schedule" there, but based on those numbers, our soft schedule should have contributed about 1 to. 1 1/2 pts to our record. I'm quite sure the quality of the opponent has a greater impact, and our schedule is at the worst been average in terms of QOC.

Now, that doesn't account for whatever positive or negative impact long gaps between games, number of back to backs, playing a tired team, or flying our to Sweden had.

100%. DJ should have replaced Cap with her.

I always cut in from left side.
