Post-Game Talk: Sens/Bruins PGT - "Robin Lehner" Edition

[Qward]

He just needs one... one goal and then the flood gates open.

worked for Kessel...

 

[blahblah3]

We lost because Neil is on the PP. Put anyone else on it and watch it actually get the job done once and a while.

 

[Berserker*]

Regin has to work on his faceoffs, he was 0 for 10 tonight.

Nous avons trois Goleur qui peuvent aller en BEAST MODE esti!!!!

Oui mon gars

 

[costermonger]

I love seeing Chara and Kelly again.

Agreed. I also look back on all the *****ing here about his whopping $2.1 million cap hit and laugh. His cap hit is $3 now and I think the Bruins got a hell of a deal.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I have to say, picking up Loktionov for cheap would have made a lot of sense for this team.

 

[Nairbo]

Solid play by Lehner. Hard to think this game wasn't just to see if he was truly NHL ready and to keep Bishop's stats high for trade bait, but what do I know.

 

[DrEasy]

Happy with the one point. The B's had more scoring chances, but we could have won the game too. Nice effort overall. Methot + Gryba = shutdown D.

 

[dumbdick]

Remember when the sens had everything except for goaltending?

Hah. This is slightly more tolerable, but only because we have lots of the other stuff on the IR.

 

[Tundraman]

Gryba and Methot played real strong against the big Bruins forwards. None of our forwards backed off either. Pound for pound we can play the Bruins. I'm not a big fan of Daugavins but he's making it tough not to like him.

weak shoulder. srs. I doubt he can get the leverage he needs to win face-offs. Especially against the best face-off team in the league.

I don't think so at all. It was because EXACTLY one year ago from today he posted a shutout against the Bruin's. PM loves stuff like that. It's why he had Daugavins go in the shootout against Montreal. He also hasn't played in a while so he needs to be kept sharp.

Agreed. Gryba and Methot were two strong points tonight. I loved how they weren't getting pushed around. It was great seeing Lucic get frustrated and then take a dumb penalty. If our defense aren't as big and strong then he doesn't get frustrated and we don't get the PP in OT. Too bad we had Neil on the ice and decided to stand still for a minute and half.

 

[DrEasy]

Benoit and Wiercioch did more in the last 30 seconds of that last PP than Gonchar and co during the first minute and half. I can appreciate Gonchar's work in the defensive zone, but he seriously needs to be taken out of the PP.

 

[Emerica]

Okay buddy. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

[stempniaksen]

I was really impressed by Gryba. I think he's in the lineup to stay, which isn't something I thought I would ever say.

 

[Caje]

Didn't get a chance to watch the game, but Lehner makes 44 out of 46 saves and didn't get a star? What's up with that?

 

[arglebargle]

Solid play by Lehner. Hard to think this game wasn't just to see if he was truly NHL ready and to keep Bishop's stats high for trade bait, but what do I know.

Maybe it means Anderson will be ready to come back soon and they wanted to give Lehner a start before sending him back down.

 

[Yost]

Benoit and Wiercioch did more in the last 30 seconds of that last PP than Gonchar and co during the first minute and half. I can appreciate Gonchar's work in the defensive zone, but he seriously needs to be taken out of the PP.

He needs to stop dumping the puck deep in the neutral zone on every rush. It's infuriating.

He brings the puck up with no speed, and is forced to throw it away. That's the single-most anti-Paul MacLean thing you can possibly do.

What's great is when he's not bringing it up, Chris Phillips gets touches. Which is like choosing between execution methodologies.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Lucic had me in tears laughing in the last 5 mins of regulation. What a baboon.

Gryba was really getting in his head. I dont even know what Gryba did?

Lawlmart

I thought tonight was an amazing game for the Sens, we had more stronger scoring chances when the game was on the line late.

Zibanejad and Silfverberg will both be beauts. Silfverberg is REALLY learning how to use his talents in the NA game and how to position himself. He almost broke in alone twice but was dragged away. Such a smart hockey player. Zibanejad will be amazing, he can do it all.

We lost because Turris can't score 3 feet away on half and empty net. I feel bad for the guy, he literally had a good 2 seconds to pull of a move too if he wanted. Go to his back-hand or whatever. Rask had no idea Turris even had it when Zibanejad whipped it to him.

Having Karlsson in this game would have really helped the possession game but I absolutely loved Gryba yet again. Our best defender with Methot. Brilliant game by him.

Lehner was dynamite. A bit hesitant early on but BOTH Boston goals shouldn't have went in as Alfredsson said. That speaks volumes of our defensive system WITHOUT our top 3 all-around players. 44 saves in his first start in the NHL since last year, what else do you expect.

What worries me the most is the use of Alfredsson, I want him to come back next year and I KNOW he can and will but with 19+ minutes every game, I worry an external force will happen that.... You guys what what I mean.

I'm actually disappointed we didn't win because unlike the Montreal game, we played the Bruins hard and had the advantage of play over them in the second half of the game, imo. Speaks volumes of this team's drive and compete level.

I can't believe what I'm seeing from this team. Love em all.

P.S. David Dziuzynski looks and talks like a caveman. There was this part where the camera zoomed unto him and Smith talking on the bench and he told Smith "Whut" like 3 times, LOOOOOOOOOL.

Everybody click this dude's username, and then "find more posts from this user". Good stuff.

 

[Beville]

I want to be disappointed that we lost, because no one likes losing...

However, I'm not even close to being mad...

 

[krapsik]

Remember when the sens had everything except for goaltending?

Now Sens have goaltending and pretty much everything else except one thing. Sens have close to O skill in their forward group in a moment. Its a sad, cause with little scoring help we can win any team.
