Low Effort GDT Sens in Columbus - 7PM - TSN5/RDS - Jean Jackets are back in style

[Senovision]

Two nice games by Gus in a row!

 

[Alex1234]

Gus Auto was insane

 

[Psycroptic86]

Back to back great games by Gus the Bus. That’s real promising

 

[Yak]

The Bus is back in Service! No Murray next year!

Stutzle blitzkrieg!

 

[NyQuil]

Stutzle with the dirty moves.

 

[PlayOn]

Will really suck if we lose Gus while Murray spends 90% of his time on LTIR

Hopefully. I agree having Forsberg, Gus, and Sogaard you would think Murray becomes expendible. But how? I guess buyout?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

God damn it

 

[cudi]

glad Gus is ending the season on a strong note. Should help with the offseason training being in a better mental place.

 

[JD1]

God damn it

God damn what?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

God damn what?

You know what but I'll play along. We pretty much sealed not picking top 5 with this win tonight.

Well no I hadn't realized that.

But the lottery balls are going to fall where they fall.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Useless wins

In every draft there are players that go 6-10 that end up being better than some of the top 5 picks. If the Sens don’t pick a good player it’s on them, not because the team won a few games to end the season.

Gus and Brannstrom had really good games

I totally agree with you, you play to win hockey games, I hate that "we have to lose to get a higher draft pick bs"

That "BS" is actually true and it's how mediocre teams get better. We're still very thin on talent and this was probably our last shot at picking top-5 before we start being more competitive.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

typical meaningless winning streak to end the year as always.

It would've been nice to have a top 5 pick sure, but I think after Wright, Cooley, and Slafkovsky the next group of players are kind of jumbled together? You can still get a pretty damn good player at 7th (which is where they will likely pick).

I also don't think we're "very" thin on talent at all.

We can still win the lottery, have faith!

True; also it's not like after 5-10 players there isn't any good players out there.
It's up to the scouts to pick out a gem every time they're up to draft, but considering this scouting staff drafted Tyler Boucher - I'll just hope for a lottery pick!

You have to think Murray will be moved (or bought out, or maybe even retire) in the offseason. Even if he somehow returns to form, I doubt the Sens would want to rely on a goalie who gets injured so frequently if they're in the middle of a playoff race.

A sure thing every damn time

Bruce said he won’t be bought out and I agree with him on that. Sens will save far more money just keeping him with the amount he spends on LTIR so not really worth it. But it would be stupid to put Gus on waivers so I’m really not sure how this will unfold, if Gus has a good camp I suppose they can waive Murray again and send him to Belleville.

Aren't the rules that you can only move up 3 spots? So if we finish seventh and win, it would be the fourth spot for us no?
