Post-Game Talk: SENS in the Habs Barn (again), Thurs. night 7 pm

[Langdon Alger]

I think we will see them in the lineup against certain teams. I hope they keep 8 for a while.

8 is enough.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Are there more cuts coming before our next game?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

The way the team played tonight with the addition of a signed Tkachuk is getting me a bit excited.

I can't be too excited with Sanford, Tierney and MDZ in the lineup. However a Brady signing would got me going.

Smith: Brannstrom did a lot of good things, playing important minutes

 

[SensFactor]

Norris: Nice to see the power play do some damage tonight

Hence why I specified a "bit" excited.

We're going to be struggling against better teams given what was a joke of an off-season from Dorion.

Still think the team could use a good top 2C

if you have norris + good vet Center + pinto down the middle you may have a chance at the playoffs

 

[The Expert]

Stutzle reminds me of Poolparty sometimes with his mishandling of pucks and poor puck receptions.

Who the **** is Poolparty?

Getting close but just can't let yourself be positive about the team eh?

 

[bert]

Brannstrom-Holden should be playing opening night

Holden having that Zub effect. Crazy what a solid partner who doesn't force it or make mistakes will do for their partner eh.

To me that should be the starting 6 on opening night. I highly doubt it happens though.

Just doesn't make any sense where the team is at to waste assets on pushing for a playoff spot now. What's wrong with simply letting these players progress and get better?..... Pinto is getting better every game let him play for christ sakes. That's what happens in rebuilds young players evolve just let it happen. He certainly looks like a top 6 center. Just feed him icetime.

Woo Hoo Back in Black....

All I’m saying is Alex Formenton scored more golds then Tyler Ennis last year, Ennis had 4 minutes of PP time yesterday me Fromenton had 0 - Ennis shouldn’t be on the PP

 

[Jorge Garcia]

Formenton will be a poison for other team on the PK. His skating is so good.

At 5 on 5, Formenton makes defenders so nervous that it opens up the neutral zone for the Sens. Dmen back off instead of keeping a tight gap.

Odd time to make this post, considering Ennis made a really nice play on the PP last night that directly led to a goal.

If you can't get The Brady Bunch.

good for him. He’s had exactly 0 PP points the last 2 years.

PP minutes shouldn’t be going to Ennis

 

[Asquaredx2]

I won't lie.. weaker though.

Dorion inability to bring in someone better than MDZ could be the difference of this team not being able to support the youngesters upfront and take that next step + get huge boost when Sanderson comes and make someeee possible noise late in season.

Chabot-Zub legit top pair.

Gets real hazy after that.

Forward group going to be exciting, but not if they are taxed with playing big defensive roles cause of the team pushed around back there or not properly moving with the team.

Yeah it's a mixed blessing pairing Chabot and Zub. Finally gives Chabot a legit partner, but means we can't use Zub to carry the second pairing. I really liked the Brannstrom - Zub pairing last year. I guess the common denominator in all of these is Zub haha.

I think it's because Ennis handles the puck better in close spaces than Formenton & on the PP there isn't a lot of movement. Formenton's speed is better suited on the PK & 5 on 5 where he can out skate people. There is no advantage for Formenton when on the PP when they are hardly moving around. Without Tkachuk though they are missing that guy in front of the net causing havoc, they should try one of Paul or Formenton in front of the net.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

He had 10 powerplay points with us in 2019-20. He didn't play on the powerplay in Edmonton.

It has been said by D.J. Smith that Ennis barely or not at all played on the PP last two years.

I don't know where to find these stats, but it must be true.

 

[OgieO]

Norris and Pinto look gooooood. So exciting to see their development.
