GDT: Senators @ Devils - 7PM Dec-21 - Winter Is Coming Edition - TSN5 (and nowhere else)

[Sun God Nika]

I love how Boro's ottawa rising commercial doesn't have clips of him playing hockey.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

why the **** is pyatt on with 1 minute left?

To protect Jerseys lead

 

[Deku]

why the **** is pyatt on with 1 minute left?

Does it matter in a 5-2 game?

Also, we seem to love losing 5-2 lately.

 

[Micklebot]

Because there is nothing to do but play out the clock, and why play somebody you care about if he gets injured on a nothing play?

Seriously, with so many legitimate things to complain about with this team, some people reach out and find the oddest things to find fault with...

More like all year.

Although we did score more in the first 25 games. Now we just suck at both ends.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

What’s bouchers excuse now from the “he didn’t have duchene boro or Ryan what do ou expect from him??!??” Crowd

 

[Brannstorm]

We need a full change up on attitude.

There has got to be a couple of coaches out there who could take a team with our level of talent and sort of land the ship every year, slide them into the playoffs.

We seem to have no balance, start with shots against, make less of them. I don't understand this, bad players make bad plays more often when they don't know what to do and/or have conflicting messages. We have some bad players but not enough to justify this play.

Here's where I would start when hiring a coach. Has he coached before? why isn't he anymore? will he trend towards that? Looks like boucher is a one trick pony in a league more akin to not one trick ponies.

Pick someone better, do it 6 games ago.

Would have thought we try to score still down by 3 goals, not give up.

 

[BondraTime]

Ottawa Rising commercials need to be squashed. They are embarrassing.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

LOL Dean Brown uses the ol' "Not every game is going to be a masterpiece" line to excuse tonight's loss.

 

[Rysto]

I'm sorry, but a hockey coach who can't walk on water is a total disgrace. It's f***ing frozen solid.

 

[Brannstorm]

that doesn't make any sense

 

[Brannstorm]

people think Q is the only one who coaches hockey, come on

there is someone out there, considering how bad we were last year we should have been scouting for the most affordable gem in the pile and we should have hired the best guy to do the searching.

 

[topshelf15]

Your screwing with me arent you??

This team needs to go out and make the big play ,for the biggest name ...Is more of where I was going with this ,but yes for sure your point makes sense

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I have no idea why my gut says so but I could see Boucher maybe getting an extension.

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

Rinse repeat with this f***ing team. Consistently inconsistent. Yeah, we had a few days off, but we never seem to be prepared for any adversity. That's on coaching.

 

[Micklebot]

So tiered of 11-7

Team looked disjointed. A little rust after a long break is normal, but we really needed to capitalize on them being on a back to back. the shorthanded goal killed us, the Tkachuk miss leading to the two on 1/2 sealed our fate.

We didn't get much in the way of puck luck, Tkachuk probably could have had a couple, Boro rang one off the bar, but we weren't winning the battles. When things aren't going your way, it means you need to push harder till they do.

Some sloppy plays; Chabot on the first goal, what was he thinking. Dzingel on the second goal got caught watching. Not sure how Hall got so wide open on the 3rd goal, though Anderson has to have that. The last goal they just didn't seem to want to battle. effort was terrible. Everybody stickchecking. Every single goal was created by us imo.

On the bright side...

I got nothing.

I'd like to see Chlapik, Batherson, and Wolanin up.

Don't care what we do with Boro, Harpur and Pyatt.

Dzingel-Duchene-Batherson
Tkachuk-White-Stone
Chlapik-Tierney-Ryan
Smith-Paul-Boedker

Chabot-DeMelo
Lajoie-Jaros
Wolanin-Ceci

 

[Tundraman]

This should be a better team than tonight shows. At the very least they should be competitive every night yet simple plays get away from them. Shift after shift someone messes up something in whatever zone with rarely one player being major mistake free. If you're the last man you can see the 4 same colour sweaters it's not that hard then why do you pinch? If you're a defensive type player then why can't you defend and if you are a scorer why can't you put the rubber in the net when it's inches away from an open cage? It's uncanny!

 

[DJB]

11 -7 is just awful. Cant get 4 lines rolling and everyone seems confused what to do.

 

[Senateurs]

I'm so pissed. This was supposed to be the gimme game. Easy 2 pts over a team that played last night, we get our #1 centre back, he scores 2 goals, we didn't allow 40 shot for once but Andy has a knack for shitting the bed at the worse time.

 

[coladin]

Inexcusable. This coach cannot prepare the players to play. He spends more time preparing the excuses.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Inexcusable. This coach cannot prepare the players to play. He spends more time preparing the excuses.

Time and time again Boucher has the psychology all wrong. He doesn't know how to keep the discipline and the work ethic together.

 

[NyQuil]

We’re not a very good team.

That’s all.
