Low Effort GDT Senators at Jets - 7PM - TSN5/TVA - Stepan on the Gas

[AchtzehnBaby]

Maybe the worst PP unit ever assembled.

You just guaranteed a goal from this motley crew

The Stüd has already become must see TV, too bad he will be missing tonight. I am ok with the TLC DJ is showing in terms of bringing him into the fold, last thing we need is a star rookie thrust in with a tweak that becomes more serious in Game 3 of the season.

Gold Chain Yuk lets see what you got boi!

Pacquette sucked in both games, I hope he has a better outing or else it makes no sense to have White out of the line up when he only got one game, the second of a back to back, with different linemates and didn't look settled.

I was being told to relax on this but with Stutzle out, White and Wolanin sitting, outside of the few proven possible long term pieces we already have (Tkachuk, Chabot, Paul, C. Brown, Murray), we only have unproven/not full proven pieces to watch? Norris and Batherson?

What a rebuild.

Habs have Suzuki, Romanov, Kotkaniemi and Evans, but I don't know, I feel they are much more likely to make the playoffs and even win some rounds.

How is Paquette not a scratch for White lol play the kids man it’s a rebuild

This rebuild is progressively getting off the rails.

I really don't understand what DJ Smith is doing.

Fixed.

Even if he had a bad game, it's his first one in 10 months and he barely even played last year. Is he supposed to improve from the pressbox?

If he follows the veteran leadership, then yes.

If he doesn't, that's on him.

 

[Sweatred]

Fine for Jimmy to miss a game - I was hoping he’d miss a late starting time

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Can't wait for Haley to get a game

Habs also have Mete and yeah they aren't in a rebuild and they are playing quite well.

I suspect that Norris will show some inconsistency in the coming weeks (to be expected for a player of his age/experience) and will get sent down. It will be telling who replaces him on the lineup when/if this happens. If it's White, Brown or even Chlapik then I'm fine with that. If it's just shuffling Paquette, Anisimov, Galchenyuk or heaven forbid Michael Haley we can safely say that the organization does not view this as a rebuilding year.

In that case the only thing we can do is.......BUCKLE UP!!!

 

[Imnotagoodposter]

Dadonov is going to wake up tonight, 2 goals.
Sens win 4-2

 

[Alex1234]

Can we atleast win some f.... face-offs ?

PPFO% and DZFO% are abysmal

 

[Crosside]

Galchenyuk: Trying to be more pumped up than nervous for first game with Sens

 

[Crosside]

Thomas Chabot and Chris Tierney

 

[MrInvidious]

Paquette has been the worst player on the ice these last two games, IMO. It's bewildering that he's still getting in this line-up over Whitey.

 

[SensontheRush]

People freaking out over the roster 3 games in.

 

[NyQuil]

Galchenyuk: Trying to be more pumped up than nervous for first game with Sens

Must be tough to know your career is on the line.

Duclair managed to pull it off.

Well if it wasn't so damn confusing no one would be.

Paquette has been the worst player on the ice these last two games, IMO. It's bewildering that he's still getting in this line-up over Whitey.

This is pre-season for players like him. Why would he come out?

 

[swiftwin]

Wouldn’t want to mess with that Paquette-Anisimov-Watson chemistry

Wouldn't want to mess with:

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Paul-Tierney-Brown

Would you rather they put Galchenyuk on the 4th line and bump Paquette up to the 2nd line?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

This is pre-season for players like him. Why would he come out?

Would it not be preseason for pretty much everyone?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

People freaking out over the roster 3 games in.

DJ Smith abandoned his supposed meritocracy after one game lol

I think the problem is the assumption that White is a possible replacement for Paquette. Paquette is currently playing LW and expected to be a key contributor to the PK. Colin White has next to no experience on the PK in the NHL and is a right shot.

Maybe the worst PP unit ever assembled.

Combined, they have 121 career power play goals. Bit of an exaggeration, no?

Our 1st PP unit has 37 career power play goals.

Stepan alone has more career PPG (41) than our entire 1st PP unit. Galchenyuk too (38).

Mike Reilly has as many career power play goals as Chabot, with only 2 fewer games played.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Would it not be preseason for pretty much everyone?

Yes but this is a proven player with tons of NHL experience and is 27 years old. Why would he come out just because of two bad games to start (after limited camp and quarantine)?

 

[NyQuil]

Mike Reilly has as many career power play goals as Chabot, with only 2 fewer games played.

That Chabot PP goal stat was the obvious stat of the day yesterday.

Just highlights how crappy the teams he has played on are.

 

[Micklebot]

This is pre-season for players like him. Why would he come out?

Because these games are worth 2 pts in the standings unlike preseason and because telling the rookies they have to earn their spots while not applying the same standards to a 4th liner vet sends mixed messages.
