Post-Game Talk: SENS bringing the Hurricane to Carolina, Fri. 7:30 pm

[Do Make Say Think]

How has nilsson been for u guys
I always thought he was a very good goal tender but struggled big time in Vancouver this year.

Is he playing better?

His first two games were scrambly as hell but he's settled down nicely. Big guy and now that he's calmed down he's using his size very well, he knows when to come out of the crease.

There's no way around it, he is awful with the puck when it comes to breaking out. Legit awful.

He is decent with the puck in the o-zone though.

Hopefully Pete Chiarelli is only watching this part.

Its an advanced stat .. stands for Goals above Replacement. So according to that stat .. Ceci is the most "replacement level" player on the team. @Mickelbot can give you an explanation on it ; or you can look it up; but they look at a number of metrics to determine it.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

What? He is pretty bad in the o zone. No creativity whatsoever.

 

[JD1]

Can you imagine if we sign both and get hot to even just make it out of the bottom 5?

Talk about turn around

If those guys sign we'll finish 22nd or higher. [MOD]

Much more fun when they win,pretty happy we stuck it Carolina at home...It has been years since we have won there 2007 I think they said

Didnt they win there in overtime when the Sens were on their miracle run? I remember that amazing Turris deke that led to the overtime goal.

He's up to 15 points on the year.

Curse broken! Good riddens

My god Boucher looks tired in that presser

Points dont paint the full picture

Creativity isn't everything. He doesn't panic in the ozone like he does when he's inside his blueline

Boro got injured.

Dead man walking....This season has to be wearing on him

You're right it's not but he's not very good at sustaining play inside the offensive zone and rarely ever utilizes his big slap shot

Team was fantastic tonight. Probably up all night coming up with the perfect game plan. Genius coach.

Some interesting stats on that site. Ceci with only 13 minutes pp time and leading the team by far in pk time.

[MOD] do you honestly believe that?

 

[JD1]

By now Phoenix works mostly well. The biggest problem are the fact that it isn't intuitive whatsoever and that paperwork is always late.

Yep. Ive worked with hr and payroll systems for 15 years. "PhoenIx" isn't a technology problem

 

[swiftwin]

[MOD] do you honestly believe that?

[MOD] do you seriously NOT believe that? Boucher is widely recognized as a great coach everywhere but here.

Yah.. they make certain assumptions around that.. All 4 players at the bottom;
Ceci, Pyatt, Paajarvi, and Boro would have high SH toi ;
More discussion on that here Wins Above Replacement: Replacement Level, Decisions, Results, and Final Remarks (Part 3)
Its not gospel

Its no secret we need to junk most of our bottom 6 ,my only wish would be that this team actually does this rather than taking it down from the top first ..Which is looking to be the norm

That's why he couldn't find a job in the NHL until the Sens underpaid him

 

[Back in Black]

And back to the game.... Nice Win tonight!

GO SENS GO

Line matching and everything. Imagine a coach doing that? Give him a 3 year deal pronto.
