My hope is Dorion is not here then.No chance
My hope is Dorion is planning to set the team (defense in particular) to compete after the expansion draft shakeup passes

It’s a different kinda year guys because of the divisional play. I don’t know how to explain it.. it’s pretty simple:
if we beat the teams ahead of us we would make the playoffs and we just so happen to play the right blend of teams to finish the year here. It’s the perfect storm.
no one is saying we are actually going to run the table and make the playoffs. But with the unique setup this year anything is actually possible and we are not out of it yet.
I was, however, pleasantly surprised to see that the Sens are not at the bottom of the league. I do see us finishing outside of the bottom 5 this season. Not sure if good considering another top3 pick is nice, but with scouting and junior leagues being in disarray, might be able to snag some gems in top 5-10 range anyways.

We might move up 1 spot and still be in the bottom 5 .. but I have my doubts . I think we finish where we are right now..

Before we all freak out let’s look at the data, let’s look at who we play for the rest of the season.. it’s setup for the perfect storm:
We play:
MTL 5x (could catch 10 points)
WPG 5x (could catch 10 points)
VAN 4x (could catch 8 points)
CGY 2x (could catch 4 points)
Now the problem games:
Luckily these teams should also be busy beating up on the other teams.
EDM 2x
TOR 2x
So as you can see if we ran the table here and got hot...
I wouldn’t say playoffs are off the table yet we play the right teams the right amount of times to still have a legit shot here.
Things can get exciting if we can blank MTL 3-0-0 over the next 3 games and start this rally. They are lucky they got the first game delayed or else it could be 4-0-0 and put a stamp on it.
anyways.. just thought I’d make this thread in case we get hot here starting with MTL.
Id imagine they are looking at similar data right now and letting our boys know we aren’t out of this yet.
Similar chance to the Black Knight.
Letting a young team get a taste of what it's like would be a good thing but yes we are a bit away from doing serious damage in the playoffs IMODont want to make the playoffs until we are ready to do something in them
For sure,the kids need to grow,and we need to put more pieces around them....Just waiting to see if EM keeps his word this timeLetting a young team get a taste of what it's like would be a good thing but yes we are a bit away from doing serious damage in the playoffs IMO
Can we just close this thread?
Sens are not going 17-4. But the Habs are a study in mediocrity and fully capable of going 11-13-1 down the stretch. They've had a losing record after feasting on a hot start and a lot of loser points early on.Yes, if we go .800 down the stretch, there’s a slim possibility. That’s an extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely long shot to happen.
If we go 17-4 down the stretch (obviously not likely), we’d need the Habs to go 11-13-1 down the stretch as well, much worse than their current record.
It’s not just us needing to go on an unrealistic run, we need other teams seasons to go south as well.
Playoffs are not realistic whatsoever, unfortunately. It certainly isn’t a legit shot.
