Tampa not scary you are right…The only teams on that list that scare me are Florida and Washington
Islanders are tied with us in the standings and have lost 11 in a row
Philly is a mess and they just fired their coach
Boston is 21st in the league
St Louis is 15th
Canes we already beat
Pittsburgh also not great, and we already beat
Paul takes the 4 faceoffs i. The offensive and defensive zone, while Timmy takes the neutral zone ones, while he learns the craft.Not on the second line with stutzle
This is what I don’t get and what worries me. We made TONS of mistakes. We especially made tons of mistakes in the last ten minutes. The fake of the matter is that it’s impossibly to win zero games in the NHL. Like are DJ and Dorion that fooled by scorelines?
Is there a difference in the order of player putting their stick first on the ice between the offensive, Neutral and defensive zone?Paul takes the 4 faceoffs i. The offensive and defensive zone, while Timmy takes the neutral zone ones, while he learns the craft.
I'd kick the tires on a right handed dman with term who moves the needle if I was Dorion. Probably more than a forward.We need to develop the players we have in our system, rather than trading them for rentals. Then we will have what we need. We aren't at a point where we can go and get bonafide wingers, or sign awesome free agents or get rentals yet. What we need is to be patient and let our young prospects develop. Then we see what we have, then we start building more of a playoff/cup contender type of team. Right now I just want to see this team have a nice long win streak. Stützle is developing fine with Brown as a winger. Paul isn't stunting Timmay's growth either. I already see Stu's all around game improving.

Away team, sticks down first I believe, unless it’s changed.Is there a difference in the order of player putting their stick first on the ice between the offensive, Neutral and defensive zone?
Stutzle won 3/5 faceoff last night. Paul 2/5.
He's a cheerleader. The forwards still are not sorting out coverage as they backcheck and come back into the zone. Some guys attack the puck carrier while some guys are passive and lay off. Even in the offensive zone how many times do we see a single senator player in puck battles with 2 or 3 opposition players with no support at all and players standing still waiting for the puck to come out. The lack of fundamental execution which at this point in the season has to point to coaching is astounding.. This team may improve but it will be more about what the players figure out for themselves imo.. and that will likely happen.. it just takes more time.Not only that but the mistake he is talking about and "earlier in the year" is basically last week.. Which is true because it was earlier but it make is statement a bad one.
Sometimes his choice of word are not exactly great. He isn't a good talker.
True. Their skaters were much faster as well. We got the W though, so that's good obviously.Great we got the win...But NJ had the puck for most of that game,and should have beaten us if they werent terrible at finishing
Batherson is damn good. He and Chabot are clearly the best players on the team right now - with Chucky third.
Goodness, watching Batherson's zone entries and awareness and shot are so refreshing.
Not sure if Ennis is able / willing to play his off wing, but I'd give him a try on the left beside Stutzle and C Brown.

Timmy is so quick and creative, it's taking his own teammates time to get used to him. Every game there's a couple of great setups that go to waste because the recipient isn't ready to handle his pass.Get Stuetzle a different winger on his line, but that was a fun game. I hope we can keep building some momentum!
'Canes we already beat' They had 50 shots and scored two goals on themselves. Just living in an absolute fantasy land in his world. And yeah Pittsburgh, St Louis and Tampa those teams suck just 3 of the last 4 cup winners no big deal.Tampa not scary you are right…
