Pre-Game Talk: SENS @ NYIsles, Thursday night, 7:30pm

Zub playing?

 

[OmniSens]

Zub playing?

This x 100.

 

[Micklebot]

Zub playing?

He hasn't practiced for a week, and JBD is still up, so not looking great...

 

[BondraTime]

Need to get back on the horse, can't let the season spiral early like the past few years.

I still find it mind boggling that the team is starting the first 1/4 of the season with a 16-5 homestand. The team really needs to make the most of that and build as many points as they possibly can.

 

[chipsens]

How many games are Sens prepared to blow in order to switch up deadweight coaching?

Too Legit to Quit?! Fire DJ

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Islanders are on a 3-game losing streak. Oh boy…

Trap game? Maybe similar to the match against Buffalo in that sense.

 

[bert]

Tkachuk is the master of picking fights when the game is over

You think he picked a fight?!?! He got cheap shotted and the sens scored 3 more goals.

Is Zub playing? I'd go right back to Forsberg tonight. Islanders aren't going to get alot of chances I'd rather Lower the risk of a stinker going in. Forsberg is the more consistent goalie of the two.

He hasn't practiced for a week, and JBD is still up, so not looking great...

Ffs. I'd rather go with 5 d then have JBD in he's brutal.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Zub out. Deja-vu. Same thing happened last year.

 

[KnockHobbler]

3-0 isles

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Oh yeah. I forgot about how we were unable to win anything without Zub in the line-up last year,

We can't adapt for shit.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

The Senators need a big game from whoever starts in nets tonight.

Goaltending has let the team down the past two games. Time to right the ship.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I'm sad at how crappy jbd has looked, i thought he would be jockeying for the 7th guy, but dude...wake up.

This is when a more experienced Kleven would be so handy.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Gonna miss this one.

Nonstop OT at work and I'm government.... What a mess.

Go Sens! Right the ship

Are you hiring? I would also like to work and miss the game.

 

[Alex1234]

Can the 2nd line wake up ffs?
They have 7 points COMBINED but are -11 combined
If at least they were producing to offset their D putridness

What are there point stats 5 on 5?
1g Norris
1a Batherson

So 5 on 5 they've managed 1g; They have only "produced" on the pp

 

[Agent Zub]

one or two more bad weeks and we are back to games being must win before the 15 game mark lol

 

[Norris4Norris]

Trap game? Maybe similar to the match against Buffalo in that sense.

Trap games only work if one team is better than the other.

We never proved to be better than Buffalo. We have a similar record to the Islanders.

If we lose tonight it won't be because we underestimated our opponent. It will be because our opponent is simply a better team than we are.

 

[Alex1234]

Even behind MTL right now lol

 

[SensHulk]

Yeah not feeling this game. We usually also suck on the road.

Hope I’m wrong of course

 

[armani]

No Zub, no lube for our D. Hope the boys show up to play team defense that leads to offensive opportunities unlike the last two games.

 

[Back in Black]

8 1/2 hours to gO

Trap game applies whenever you think you have the advantage, with Buffalo on the tail end of a back to back and with 3 games in 4 nights, it absolutely qualifies as a trap game where we want in overly confident.

coaching something something coaching

I see what you're saying. But this is the very beginning of the season. Guys are in shape, they haven't been battered by the inevitable injuries and fatigue that come with a long season.

I guess then this Islanders game would be the opposite of a trap game simply because we were just fooled and the coaches should have the players prepared to play the full 60 minutes.
