[Union2017]

Nice hip check on Evans lol

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What the hell is wrong with these refs..

Blatant hold on Norris but eh you can't give the Sens any sort of advantage in Mtl.

Can you see what team we are playing? It answers all your questions.

 

[JungleBeat]

Bingo

How is his gameplay? Skating, shot etc. I haven’t been watching

Good heavy forecheck, good speed, big size, ok hands

 

[SensFactor]

Play looks like a dog's breakfast

Definitely better than Watson’s. I might be biased but Kastelic is just a big improvement. Big strong body, fast enough on skates. Doesn’t make many hard headed decisions. I saw some decent passes from him before. Perfect 4th line player for us.

 

[thinkwild]

zuuuub

 

[Sun God Nika]

yooo plz just sign zub plz.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

zub

 

[Union2017]

Thanks. With these fourth liners we want a guy with a good motor, active stick, physicality and some decent skills to chip in.

 

[SensFactor]

Can we please extend zub already...will be a massive hole if he leaves

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Zub.

 

[Micklebot]

Damn, Zub putting the big kid on his arse .

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I don’t know, that guy could have held Joseph’s stick for a few seconds longer

 

[PatrickEaves]

Reminder that there was a period of time last year, before they were split up, when Chabot-Zub was the best defensive pairing in the NHL.

 

[Union2017]

Nice first period. Now let’s kick it up a notch.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I absolutely love our third line. Has to be one of the best we’ve had since?
For some reason Vermette comes to mind. But I wasn’t a Sens fan then.

 

[senswon]

Timmy has been kinda quiet so far. Not alot of touches.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

MTL giving us a bit of speed fits. Especially on that 4th line.

Adding Formenton back would be massive. I think our forward group is complete with him back.

Defense looks capable and could hold.

 

[Ouroboros]

Pinto is coming for his job.

Timmy likes to hold onto the puck but thats hard to do when your line mates are Debrincat and Giroux. They will figure out something that works for them in time.

Random Thoughts on the Period:

-Tkachuk made a stellar defensive play to steal the puck clean on a guy winding up in the slot.
-Tkachuk probably should have tried a shot rather than the backhanded saucer pass.

-Brannstrom made a good defensive play on the PK leading to a clear.

-Giroux and DeBrincat were magical on that PP goal

-Forsberg looking solid - boy a lot of pressure on him now. Or no pressure to compete for #1 - not sure.

-Zub with that big hit on Slavkovsky.

-Chabot might as well take that penalty on behalf of one of his players. Taking a penalty isn't a bad thing in pre-season because you practice your PK.

-Pinto gets absurd amounts of hype but he is also a really good hockey player. Makes a lot of nifty and tricky plays look effortless. A joy to watch again.

-Nice to see Kastelic step up

It's like he's back at wing again with the amount of times he's been kicked out face offs too i noticed.
