Post-Game Talk: Ottawa vs Tampa Bay

[Vesa Awesaka]

And it wasnt like Couture went Kreider on that play. Was an unfortunate hockey play.

It wasnt a hockey play. People dont dive head first into goalies in hockey. Dont care it he was hoping for a rebound or something. He left his feet to dive. He knew he was going to crash into hammond

 

[BonkTastic]

I would take Couture on this team faster than my first relationship lasted.



And trust me: it was a very, very brief relationship.

one night stand??

 

[SenatorArmy*]

This is a big opportunity for the Senators because Carolina is going to beat Detroit in both games

Ottawa is fighting harder than anyone to just make the playoffs, its getting pathetic. 1 goal a game isn't going to do it, we're toast in a 7 game series

 

[BonkTastic]

its getting pathetic

Yeah, that's what these last ~30 games have been - pathetic.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Pathetic is a really bad word to use.

But it does show the team definitely does need some help. At least two solid defensemen, a scoring winger, and a bit more team speed are definitely requirements to get to the next level.

82 games, was there early

30 games you say?

Wow, you must not enjoy life much if this is your view of our incredible stretch this last month or so.

Even if Sens miss PO, or toast in first round, team will be credited with lot of respect from league.
And we were predicted to be toasted in Rangers and Motreal series.

I've never understood how "toast" became synonymous with being done. To me, if you're toast then you're ready! If you're toast then things are just getting started! If you're toast then it just got real! Seriously, who wants a BLT on bread that hasn't been toasted? In the morning I for one prefer my PB on TOAST! People say the Sens are toast? I say, good! They started as a simple piece of bread but have now survived the crucible that is the toaster and emerged as a well forged piece of TOAST!!

...twins were up at 4:15 and I've yet to have a coffee (or any toast). Sorry.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Well, toast was a positive term back in the day.

The toast of the town.....that kind of thing.

 

[Shrimper]

Does anyone have a gif of Wiercoch's face after he scored?

 

[alfie follower]

Does anyone have a gif of Wiercoch's face after he scored?

Not sure if he was whooping it up celebrating or if he was in complete shock that he actually hit the freaking net for once... It was kinda like OMG did u see that...

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

Really sucks they haven't made up much ground but you have to be proud of the team for how they have played. The last two games were basically playoff games against playoff teams and they just never gave up. It will really suck if we barely miss but this has been incredible experience for the young team

As the old sports saying goes: 82 games, was there early. 30 games you say?

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

I think the Toronto game was entirely winnable, and whatever happened in between the goal posts wasn't the reason they lost. I feel like that's just as big a reason we aren't still sitting in a wildcard spot as any you mentioned. The Florida game though I'll agree that with Hammond in net we probably get at least a point.

Anyway, can't cry over spilled milk. They've won two in a row now and Hammond's healthy. Just gotta run the board and hope Boston falters a bit.

Well, after the Detroit win, folks were saying he have to go 6-0 or damn close. Well, we are 1/6 of the way there.

Holy geez, we could realistically get like 96-97 points and still not make it. This year is crazy.

Hah, you sound like me last Saturday night ranting about potatoes.



This is going to be one hell of a crucial weekend for the Sens.

 

[tony d]

Again, good win last night but Boston also won so we're still 3 points out.

Toast gets eaten, and then turned to ****

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Bobby is playing through injury, every player on the ice played better with more intensity. No other explanation

Agreed. When Chiasson was placed on that line they immediately created 2-3 excellent chances that hasn't been done by that line in a while.

CHIASSON.

Hope Ryan gets healthy again.

Oh yeah, also wanna say Jean-Gabriel Pageau is the heart and soul of this team now. He's come in and given us a replacement for Chris Neil in a modern NHL without enforcers. (Don't take this as disrespect for Neil, I love him)

Agreed. Pageau has been unbelievable.

Condra and Lazar too. That entire line fits like a glove of what we're trying to teach the rest of the team.

 

[Back in Black]

So do Hamburgers by Lazar...

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

So do Hamburgers by Lazar...

Lazar changes hamburgers into VICTORY.

 

[Lehner]

He was the best player in training camp. His demotion was politics and contract status. He will never play another AHL game now that he has the head coach's trust.

You know who else had an awesome training camp, Shane Prince, Call him up!

 

[MainDotC]

Did they throw hamburgers after the game end last night? Tough to tell for those of us watching on GCL.
