Low Effort GDT Sens @ Kraken - 10PM - TSN5 - The Too Late Show

[Adrianopolous]

I get that it is hard to get up for every game late in the season when you are already out of the playoff hunt and basically playing out the season.

But what are we going to do make sure games like this do not happen next season? Too many low effort type games scattered throughout the season this year.

This is why any celebration over these late season wins are ill-advisable in my opinion.

What harm does it do? What wins?

Well, one of our recent random wins has us drafting in the 7th slot/odds vs 5th slot/odds … it’s a huge difference.

No one plays 82 games revving on top gear

One win can be the difference between drafting Tyler Boucher and several players who look to be future stars (Clarke, Eklund, Guenther).

I really hope we'd have taken one of them, but had we drafted 11th instead of 10th, you'd probably have been the saying the same thing wrt Sillinger.

Not even "Your 63 pt no excuses.. wait....Ottawa Senators"

 

[UglyPuckling]

That was one of the worst games I've seen them play in a long time. Completely uninspired, no support. Was awful to watch.

Ya, for most of the 2nd period, they were decent. But, they were pretty sluggish for a good chunk of the game. Forsberg made a lot of really good saves. The Senators took too many penalties as well which hurt them.

Hoping for the unlikely scenario where New Jersey and Chicago get on a roll and win most of their remaining games. Of course, Senators need to lose as well.

 

[Larionov]

They looked like what they were - a tired team that had just flown across the continent after a high intensity game against a key rival. Their energy level was at about zero. Meanwhile, the rink in Seattle was jumping due to the presence of Beast Mode and Macklemore, and the big announcement earlier in the day of them joining the ownership group. (My guess is that it is just a symbolic, very small piece, but that's all that matters.) The Kraken were clearly feeding off that energy.

If I'm the Canucks, I'm wishing Ottawa won last night. Our depth might be lousy but this is a pretty proud group, and the last time Brady stunk the place out vs the Rangers he responded with a two goal, three point night.

Finishing 5th you are most likely to pick 6th
Finishing 6th you are most likely to pick 7th
Finishing 7th you are most likely to pick 7th

Not as big a difference as you would think

I’d think Sillinger would be posting better numbers in the WHL than Gauthier by quite a bit. He’d be in the midst of a 50+g-50+a season.

I was “fine” with winning games last year because I thought that guys like Sillinger, Lambos and Bolduc were similar level prospects as Clarke, Gauthier, Johnson and Eklund, and had we picked one of them I wouldn’t be upset right now.

It’s that we made a gigantic reach for a player that really should never have been reached for at any point in the draft, especially that high, with so many good players available.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Love to have scrubs call a 20 year far more talented than them a p****.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

We can't even be certain that they had Boucher ranked higher than 10. We could very well have drafted him even if we landed in the 8 or 9 spot.

This is really nothing.

Players talk like that all game every game and Jimmy has heard it all before.

Has nothing to do with Gallagher or anything other than high level competition.

 

[Back in Black]

Time for another Super Low Effort GTD for tonight's game.

Well, I expect Dorion to bring in some vets!

 

[Cosmix]

How did Senyshyn look?

Like the other AHL level players on the roster.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Yes because that is exactly what I meant.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well we’re ass lol what do you expect. We got like 5 decent games in a row what else do you want

 

[Akrapovince]

Someone tell me how to feel about Senyshyn
