GDT: Sens @ NYI: Last minute edition - March 16, 2024 TSN5

[Senscore]

Isles got a point. That should be help enough

 

[Big Muddy]

I still think the wins for their mentality are more important than some guy who won't be ready to play for 2-3 years.

Those late season wins meant nothing over the last few years, and we have lots of players who we drafted in the first round (or even early 2nd round) who are good players for us now (Sanderson, Tkachuk, Pinto, Grieg & Stutzle) and didn’t take 2 or 3 years to make the lineup as regulars.

Yeah we heard that for how many years in a row now? And they are still bottom feeders.

Useless wins

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Korpisalo let in an atrocious goal but gave us .909. Which is good and we won.

But the things is the guys are not gonna lose on purpose just so we have a better draft pick, so sucks for us fans but players want to win

he was mostly good on the night but man that goal...

 

[Big Muddy]

I agree with the fact that this hasn't meant anything the past 4 years, but the boys are getting older now and the more and more they lose the more they're going to give up on the process. These wins mean more than the years prior but that's just my opinion.

The following players did not take 2 or 3 years to become productive regular roster players: Sanderson, Tkachuk, Pinto, Grieg & Stutzle.

Playoffs still alive?

Yes, players and the coaches always want to win. It's in their DNA.

Greig, Pinto, and Sandy took a couple years before they entered the lineup...

 

[Adrianopolous]

They deleted my main board thread about it

 

[SensFactor]

That pass by beans!

 

[Adrianopolous]

How are the islanders in the hunt and were not

 

[Micklebot]

Maybe you should take the hint?

Yeah they absolutely need to just focus on playing solid hockey and winning.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Was fine after. Maybe cuz the pressure is off.

OK 2 years for Grieg and Sanderson. Pinto was drafted in 2019 and played some games in 2020-21.

But you said 2 - 3 years.

I guess I’m perplexed at the idea that if they didn’t win a few more games down the stretch that somehow it would stunt the success of the Senators. What would change things would be more wins in October, November and early December imho.

 

[SensHulk]

Playoffs still alive?

Gotta make history and run the table…so technically yes?

100%

 

[Sun God Nika]

Score effects are a thing and they affect everyone. When else is a team suppose to “lose control” other than when the other team is down 1 and throwing the kitchen sink? It happens. Thats the time every team most commonly starts getting out shot and giving up zone time

I get the point you are trying to make. Strong character teams are able to not succumb to final pushes from the opposition the way the sens do.

How often do we see Ottawa making a push in the final minutes ? I am sure there is a stat somehwere that they are the worst at it too

We're middle of the pack in GA/60 while leading against an EN, better than Bos, Dal, VGK, and Car

I feel like maybe we're just more aware of it when it happens to the sens?

Edit: We're also mid pack in GF/60 while trailing with the net empty, ahead of Fla, Col, Wpg, VGK and Car

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

That short sequence of Pageau and Greig jostling and smiling about it really made me happy for some reason.

Yeah sure, I mean winning meaningless games in March/April of 2022 and 2023 made all the difference..
