It would be nice to kill the Flyers' spirit by beating them here.

It would be nice to kill the Flyers' spirit by beating them here.

I feel like we knock them out of a playoff spot every couple of years.

Stone scored twice and we beat the flyers the last game of the season to jump into the 7 spot. That was one time they helped us. 3-1 the score i think.

But then the next year the flyers were close right at the end of the year and we beat them stopping them from making the playoffs?

 

[danielpalfredsson]

This game has some purpose for us depending on what people think is the best for the CBJ pick.

For those who think CBJ needs to make the playoffs so that Duchene will re-sign, us winning could be important. PHI is probably out of the playoffs, but they aren't for sure out. These points have a long shot at mattering for them.

It's the opposite for those who think Duchene won't sign no matter what, then they probably want us to lay down for PHI here and get them two points closer to CBJ.

Oh, another one of these...

You're thinking of Boston. For 3 straight seasons we somehow ousted Boston from the playoffs.

2015: Hamburglar miracle run to take a playoff spot away from Boston
2016: Beat Bruins in last game of season where they could have clinched. philly won their game instead and knocked out boston.
2017: Beat Bruins in the first round.

the dream scenario for those picks is for the jackets to miss, win the lottery so the pick slides to next year, then duchene signs there anyway. they could be pretty bad in 2020 and 2021. could be two very high picks.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Voracek out. Cookson now in charge of D.

I thought we could have a slim hope of not finishing last and giving up Hughes to Colorado. However, I don't see that happening. I expect the Sens to win maybe 3 games tops from here until the end of the season and Colorado selecting Hughes first overall. Another black mark on GM Dorion and the Sens management.

What's even more sad is that Ottawa is trying to win hockey games and still can't win and NJ, LA and Detroit are tanking and we a still can't surpass them.

What a joke.

Last place doesn’t equal first pick though

 

[SensFactor]

No it doesn't but 2 out of the last 3 teams who dead last picked first overall.

Trading Mark Stone to Vegas won't be his proudest achievement as a GM for long then!

I'm at work. I'm sure at least 95% of the people here are at work and can't watch this.

Haha, he’s capable of saying some really dumb things to the media. He’s a PR liability as he just comes across as a used car selesman who’s been told which car to push ..

Rotation worker here atm, loving the 2-2's.

I will always remember this specific moment and quote about his time here, of course he has time to trump it but to me this is pound for pound his stupidest one liner whilst working for the Ottawa Senators.

Wish the Sens played this afternoon and the Bsens tonight so I would have some hockey to watch this evening!

 

[Micklebot]

Apparently Chlapik might be called up, but it's not on any official transaction list I've seen so far.

That was a slap in the face for all Sens fans.

That is the best case scenario, but it's also incredibly unlikely. So it's hard for me to cheer for them to miss this year expecting what you've described to play out.

To me, the best case scenario that is also somewhat realistic would be the Jackets making it in as the final wild card, they get beat out in round 1 or 2 in a competitive series against a top team, and along with the moves they make in the off season it's enough to convince Duchene to stay.

In that scenario, we get the 18th pick in 2019 (it'd be 15 if they missed) and we also get their unprotected 2020 pick.With the way the league is set up parity wise along with the lottery rules, their 2020 pick could have high upside regardless of who they retain and add in the off season.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

We're still doing this? I vote for a forfeit.

 

[chipsens]

I'm keen to see Wolanin & Ceci again... so pleasantly surprised by Ceci's recent play. Go Sens!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Chlapik has indeed been called up. Haven't seen who he's replacing but it wouldn't surprise me if it was White.
