Post-Game Talk: SENS @ Minnesota, Tuesday 8pm

[Crosside]

Smith: Our power-play was the momentum changer

Ottawa got lucky the Minny coaches called a review and received the delay of game penalty to allow us to score 2 goals back to back.

every rebuild adds players. Chicago added Hossa. L.A. Added Richards and Carter. Tampa added Sergachev and McDonough.

Ottawa needs 2 x legit top 4 Dman. The rebuild is going nowhere if we are relying on rookie D like Thomson, JBD and Sanderson to save this team. By the time they are ready for playoff Cuo runs the team will be in Cap hell. He window is next year and the year after that. and he team needs to start building its identity now. Need to add D or this thing is going nowhere.

but the coach sticking to his guys in Zaitsev and J.Brown is a blind spot that needs to be fixed. Someone has to tell him how bad these guys are. He falls in love with these guys and can’t see the warts in their games. DJ needs to see the light

Very triggering game

 

[Sensfanatic]

The bottom 4 defence on this team are not NHL level. It will be a very long season if this isn’t addressed.
The system DJ is employing where we give the opposition half the ice uncontested on most shifts also has to change.

 

[Loach]

need a better C

I only see 1 center there. Hehehe

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Injuries derailed Cowen. He looked so promising early on.

Injuries definitely impacted his play big time.

Will never forget the time he filled in White in the playoffs

The game was tied 4 - 4 & the Sens had as many chances to win as the Wild, Stutzle made the mistake on that 4 on 4 in OV that cost them the game, period. It was no other player's fault, maybe this other guy could have done this or that doesn't matter without that error. Stutzle's biggest weakness seems to be hanging on to the puck too long & losing possession which he is still learning, he had a very good night other than that. Gustavsson had a good game after that 1st period & gave them a chance to win.

I think they should take Stutzle off the line with Paul & C. Brown, they don't seem to mesh well, I prefer Formenton with those two. I think they could create a decent 4th line too of Sanford - Tierny - Watson. Hopefully, Pinto comes back soon to play with Stutzle & they just need to find a good RW to play with them .... someone like ..... it's on the tip of my tongue ... a big guy ... Russian ... I think .... oh yea ... Sokolov .... yea that's it, .... that's the ticket. Out Ennis & Shaw, in Pinto & Sokolov, he would add another big shot on RW.

We is your solution to every problem with the lineup to pencil in a player who is two years away or some kid we might draft in 6 months or some kid we drafted 6 months ago? Why? It's an honest to god question.

Kids make mistakes. That is the risk of youth in the line-up

 

[Schmautz11]

Every game that goes by you see how big of a mistake it was to trade Mike Reilly.

And or Dylan Demelo

 

[Silencio]

Aside from the peewee level defense, team was running on fumes in the third period of a back to back and it showed.

 

[GCK]

Come on Dorion. Save us from this circular arguing about our bottom 4. We are spending day after day arguing about how to arrange the bottom 4 D on this team. The fact is there are zero options that work when we only have bottom pair capable players. We need 2 2nd pairing D stat.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Who tf cares what he said we saw Brannstrom play much better than anyone on our current top-4 in training camp, and he certainly could do no worse than any of them right now. You just don't like the kid.

No we didn't.
