Post-Game Talk: SENS Jet into Winterpeg, Sat. 7:00 pm

[Do Make Say Think]

I would like to see Lajoie as a FWD, he's an awful Dman.

He's a fine 5. Another player we are forced to play above his level due to budgetary issues and bad luck with drafting D (Wiercioch and Cowen being complete busts really set us back)

That was the first time in a long time where the sens were entertaining, outshot and outplayed the opponent and won the game all in one.

Great game, more of that please.

Agreed, thoroughly enjoyed that game. Nice to see it against Winnipeg too, they used to always have our number.

If I'm not mistaken, our record against them since 2011 is like 12-6.

If I'm not mistaken, our record against them since 2011 is like 12-6.

And coming into this year they'd beat us 4 times in a row including that emasculating 5-0 loss last year, so I think it's fair to say they had been having our way with us ever since they've been a contender.

Yeah, Tierney is a pretty nice distributor and can thread the needle but almost every other aspect of his game is lacking. Poor skater, bad shooting, below average defensively. He's the kid of guy who kinda needs to play in a sheltered role or play with some guys who can cover for his deficiencies.

I'd love to move him now or at the draft. I doubt his value as a player will ever be higher than it is now. Going forward, he'll be behind White and Brown and possibly Pageau. If he gets locked into a LW spot for ab extended period of time, I'd guess his point totals will go down.

Ya that's a very good assessment of Tierney.
I'd keep him because our C depth is so poor and he allows Brown to keep developing in the AHL. I also dont think he has that much value in a trade.

I'd be on board with this. I wonder what the market would look like for him? 24 years old, 40 points last season, on pace for 55 this season. When Duchene is moved, I'm sure he'll be put into a bigger role too...

He seems to be very popular and well liked as well
