GDT: SENS @ Flames Tonight 9pm, 9pm, 9pm TSN5, RDS2, SNW

[Dan Patrick]

Honestly, I wonder if that is a new record. Most opposing coaches fired immediately following a game.

 

[swiftwin]

LMAO! We got another coach fired. Somehow.

 

[swiftwin]

Honestly, I wonder if that is a new record. Most opposing coaches fired immediately following a game.

Or during a game, like last game against the Habs.

 

[bicboi64]

Nice to see Dzingel still have hustle in his game, was always a fan of his.

Can we please get Coburn off the ice. Our defense is beyond pitiful. Chabot and Zub are the only ones I want to keep, Chabot because of his offensive upside but his defense has been crap this year, Zub because he's doing what Demelo did last year. Gudbranson and Coburn are too damn slow, Zaitsev just doesn't have the hockey IQ of a top 4 defender and Brannstrom needs to make several leaps forward. God we need defensive help

 

[Icelevel]

LMAO! We got another coach fired. Somehow.

Think I posted this before but here’s our(/Brady’s) new theme song.

 

[Rodzilla]

GudBranson was probably the least problematic d tonight

i didnt say he was problematic, I said his puck control is very, very bad and so is his first pass. He was fine.

 

[Yak]

Looks like they wanted to do it when the Flames won, to have a positive vibe when Darryl comes in.

Game has changed since he was in L.A. but he is exactly what the doctor ordered for the under performing Flames.

He may not bring them a cup but he will get the most out of these players and wear out the weak links.

P.S. They can fire the GM if they want now also cause Sutter has done that job before also.

 

[DrEasy]

Dzingel was the best player tonight.

Yeah, give him time to adjust to his new team!

 

[maclean]

Doesn't feel like Calgary in those jerseys.
That is all.

 

[Crosside]

Gudbranson: We laid an egg tonight

 

[Crosside]

Dzingel: First couple shifts I was lost out there and it cost us

 

[Crosside]

Norris: When you're cheating, you don't get puck bounces

 

[Crosside]

Smith: When you're that flat, it's tough to judge your team

 

[BondraTime]

Well that was a tough GDT to read through

 

[Micklebot]

Well that was a tough GDT to read through

It was a tougher game to watch...

 

[BondraTime]

It was a tougher game to watch...

That tells me a lot

 

[NyQuil]

Well, somehow we get coaches fired even when we lose.

 

[topshelf15]

Our kids need to learn how to play a conservative tighter game on the road.....As we have just too many holes teams can exploit in the matchup game

 

[Micklebot]

Well, somehow we get coaches fired even when we lose.

Calgary clearly should have won by more...

Reminiscent of Maclean getting fired after beating Vancouver.

 

[MarkStone]

Sens getting another coach fired despite losing 7-3 is like a variation of George getting hired by the Yankees by insulting Steinbrenner face to face.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

How many coaches have we murdered this season? 3 now?

This is getting really weird.

Understatement, I have never seen a defense getting abused that much. Ideally this is what we'd have right now

Chabot-???????
???????-???????
Brannstrom-Zub

Zaitsev is not "bad" but unless you have 3-4 very good D-men in front him, it's not good to have him play too much. He needs to be a #4 or #5

Chabot really need his Methot. Ultimately we're not going anywhere until we have that guy

5 years into Dorion's era and the only good D-man he has brought in is Zub.

Yeah, give him time to adjust to his new team!

That was another ridiculous personnel decision

We're not a team in a playoffs team, we're a team that is 8-16-1 and give up 3.92 GA/GP...

Gudbranson: We laid an egg tonight

The question is if your team laid about 10-12 eggs in 26 games so far this season, can you still call that an egg?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well that was a tough GDT to read through

Damn you read through them after the fact?
I couldn’t do that it would be like..... watching footage of me drunk at a bar the morning after.

Ottawa Senators 2020-21

Overall :

8-17-1, 2.65 GF/GP, 3.92 GA/GP, 15.1 PP%, 73.8 PK%
0.875 SV%, 8.17 SH%, 50.40 CF%, 49.66 SCF%, 51.59 HDCF%

Home :

5-6-1, 3.00 GF/GP, 3.00 GA/GP, 20.9 PP%, 83.3 PK%
0.904 SV%, 9.07 SH%, 49.86 CF%, 52.30 SCF%, 55.92 HDCF%

We're actually a decent team at home, not playoffs level but not too far. We seems to outchance the other teams by a good margin. All these numbers are good or at least fine

Road :

3-11-0, 2.36 GF/GP, 4.71 GA/GP, 10.0 PP%, 63.2 PK%
0.851 SV%, 7.37 SH%, 50.88 CF%, 47.76 SCF%, 48.29 HDCF%

We're just not a NHL team on the road. You'd think a NHL coaching staff could make enough adjustments to make us "bad" instead of "putrid"

Unless it's because our goalies are so much worse on the road then vs at home? I don't know because reading GDTs, it seems like many think goaltending is the main problem... Serious denial IMO.

I never thought I would even say anything like this. Stü has a lot of Chabot-like turnovers tonight. Too much confidence in own skills, holds onto puck too long, skates himself into bad spot against an NHL player, soft play results in turnover.

Good players need coaching and the right support in teammates too. Chabot and Stutzle are getting very little of that. Hard to say about coaching but I don't know, from what I see on the ice, I feel like coaching is a real weakness.

You say that like we’re TRYING to defend the defense. We’re not. Everyone knows the defense is garbage. But we got to get bailed out here and there
