Speculation: Senatrolls about to emerge

[DylanSensFan]

I get the feeling that this team is preparing for the biggest troll job we've ever seen. It would not be epic without making the fan base suffer a little while.

i don't think it's outrageous to say that our team will be better in the second half of the season, because Spezza, Karlsson, and Cowen will be even better at that time. However, will that be enough to secure a spot in the playoffs? I hope so, we have lots of great talent on this team.

 

[Senscore]

This year it's clearly just us that's being trolled.

There's still a lot of hockey to be played so you never know.

We enjoyed the last 2 regular seasons, but only made the playoffs as 7 and 8 seeds.

Maybe this year we make the playoffs as a wildcard but it looks ugly getting there.

Maybe this team is what we've seen so far.

What I'm getting at is, we just don't know.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I feel so too.

Isn't it a coincidence that this happens as soon as Condra gets back into the line-up.

Condra is Captain of the Senatrolls.

 

[DrEasy]

Spezza, Karlsson, Cowen can only play better than they are right now. Michalek, Conacher, Greening, Wiercioch, Condra have room for more. Sprinkle more Ziba on everything and you can activate Senatroll Mode.

I really, really, really wish you were right. But I'm not feeling it.

 

[Fandlauer]

This year it's clearly just us that's being trolled.

I agree.

1. Make it to 1st round of the playoffs.
2. Make it to 2nd round of the playoffs despite having every star injured.
3. Trade 1st round pick for a superstar.
4. Tank.

Sens are the ultimate trolls. Trolling the **** out of their own fans lol

 

[Healfezza]

Basically: Either the team continues to be inconsistantly consistant all year and looks like it has.

Or.

They click and find a groove, go on a hot streak and slide in as a low seed.

Lets hope 2.

 

[Stylizer1]

The team has been playing bad on purpose so everyone will underestimate them and then Bam, everyone who sucks will be in the running for the Hart Trophy.

I miss the Pesky Sens

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

The Pesky Sens was fun to watch but that style of play will never be sustainable.

Pesky Sens weren't just the last second goals and insane comebacks, it was the teams mental state and how we never gave up in individual games and seasons.

Let's be real..last season, karlsson goes down. If everybody stopped playing, they would have gotten a free pass. Instead they didn't give up and despite literally being a team of third liners, camas back and made the second round of the playoffs.

So how do we get the Pesky Sens mentality back?

 

[bigray19]

SO unhappy with my Sens

Easy, get rid of the 3D kiddy crest!

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Easy, get rid of the 3D kiddy crest!

I feel like in you mind, all of the Senators' woes on and off the ice will be solved by a crest change.

Why do I half agree.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I honestly believe Ottawa is slowly but surely making things happen with chemistry bonding.

Conacher-Smith-Neil has been a very good together. Smith and Neil with the grit and cycling while Conacher drives the net and adds much needed speed and energy on that line.

MacArthur-Turris-Ryan no need to explain

Michalek-Spezza-Zibanejad two thirds of that line have been lazy and dis-interested. Zibanejad will bring much needed physical power and ability to drive the net. We really just need this line to be ok. I'm not asking for anything more.

Greening-Grant-Condra. Two great defensive and puck possession forwards and then there's Greening. Who knows.

With guys like Pageau, Hoffman, Stone, this team could easily shore up their hustle and lack of chemistry for extra players like Greening and Michalek.

Our issues lie with our defense(Who seem to be improving)

 

[SevenOfSpades]

Greening-Grant-Condra. Two great defensive and puck possession forwards and then there's Greening. Who knows.

I think this line combination works well. Every great crew has followed this basic dynamic.

Condra is the Brains - gifted with hockey IQ, reliable in all three zones of the ice

Grant is the Brawn - strength on the puck, in possession and recovery, is key to his success

Greening is, of course...

The A-team did it, Scooby Doo did it, even the Ghostbusters did it. The more Mac disturbs this formula, the less likely the line will be as successful as these listed organizations.

Honestly, I predict this to be our most effective line in Detroit.

 

[Dionysus]

If things start falling into place, this team has the gamebreakers and supporting cast to be a real competitive team that can win any game. Consistency is the key right now. A steadying veteran puck mover on the right side would go a long in helping the team.

Can't wait to see the sens go on a tear soon though. They are due, and have the ability. Time to put a stretch of solid play together.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Greening is, of course...

Hahahahahahaha

 

[DylanSensFan]

Senatrolls commence!!!
