Pre-Game Talk: Sens Vs Avs

[Silencio]

Maybe fortnite ...

OK I laughed.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I'm hoping that Condon can bounce back. Hey, he has shown that he can play well in stretches. We just need him to get to that league average .915 save percentage, that's all...

True. Not impossible, im just losing faith at this point.

 

[Back in Black]

Anyone find a SENS "pocket schedule" yet this year? If so, where??

Anyone??

 

[God Flower]

The Condon started Arizona game was the moment when all started to fall apart for this team last year, Condon let in a absolute stinker in the final minutes then an equally bad goal in OT.

Please let Condon rot on the bench.

Recaps

I understand the concern, truly, but if we benched players THIS year based on their performance(s) last season, we wouldn't be able to ice a team. Clean slate, let Condo play. Like other posters have said, we dont need him to be a hero. Just make the obvious saves and hold the fort for 60-65 minutes.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Condon is the backup, he's gonna have to start at some point

 

[Xspyrit]

Watched Tampa-Avs yesterday. Both these teams are legit. Avs are going far this year. We better bring our A game or we'll get blown out.

Everyone is talking about how we're this year's Vegas. I think the Avs model is what we should strive for. They're crazy fast. They also traded away one of their top players and still made the playoffs.

Habs are this year Vegas; they’ll work harder than anybody

Tonight their lack of talent was exposed against the Sabres though

lol, as a goalie I still have nightmares about that Condon gaff. If I ever did something like that, I’d might force myself into retirement

They need to trade Wideman asap, he is the one UFA who may actually have some value to other teams given he is a right shot D.

Why asap? Wait at the deadline where he might have some value

 

[GCK]

Team needs to either trade Ceci or Wideman and re-sign the other to a short term deal. I don’t think we need a poll to know where the majority of posters fall

Seeing some of the hate certain Avs fans have for Duchene makes me not feel so bad about our fan bases relationship with previous star players.

Well, he asked to leave essentially.

We're not particularly happy with Heatley.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I feel badly for Condon, who from all reports is a great guy and a great teammate, but at the same time we can't afford to give him any sympathy starts. We can only start him when Anderson clearly needs a rest. Anything beyond that he's going to have to earn.

Here's the issue - if Condon were to disappear to a desert island tomorrow, who else could we use? Mike McKenna, 35 years old and with a sub .900 lifetime save percentage in the NHL? Someone like Anton Forsberg, who has the same lifetime save percentage as Condon? The goalie market out there is REALLY thin - not a lot of great options for any team with a need for a veteran...

I'd probably go with Lehtonen over Mason if we went into the goalie market. That costs money though.

 

[16w]

Anyone??

i have a pdf schedule on my phone which is in my pocket...

 

[Papa Francouz]

Best of luck tonight, guys. Here's hoping for some good, clean hockey. Please don't hurt us.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Anyone??

I picked one up at I wanna say Sports Chek at Bayshore mall?

 

[pown]

Biggest game of the year. Beating colorado in their barn after everything that happened would be pretty amazing. We smacked them last time in sweden, no reason we cant do it again.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

That was pre-Duchene trade and we went into a death spiral after that.
We can beat them, sure. But it's more likely we get torched 5-3 or something. I'd honestly start Condon in this one, take the L and roll over the regressing Golden Knights.

 

[stempniaksen]

*Conspiracy theory alert*

What's stopping the Avs front office from telling one of their players to "accidentally" run Anderson and then watch gleefully as Condon fills in for ~25 games and starts the tank (giving them a top-four pick instead of a 5-15 pick).

No that was post trade. The very next two games with him in the lineup were against his former team while in Sweden.

I remember well. That was when Dorion called into TSN1200 to complain that they weren't praising the team enough. They barely won against Colorado and he felt they needed to be stroked even more.

 

[jbeck5]

We're not particularly happy with Heatley.

I thought we hated heatley more so because of how he handcuffed us for the trade(though that could be Murray's fault too) and also the rumours swirling around town of why he requested a trade. Also how he wouldn't answer anyone so we were left wondering what the heck is going on.

A guy like spezza said he'd be fine with a trade and would like the opportunity for a fresh start. We don't seem to hold any hatred towards him.

Also, these guys just want us to lose badly all the time because of the draft pick, so it would be nice to win to see their reactions.

i'd say one was done respectfully, one wasn't.....a little different to me

Players don't really care about this draft stuff.

need a better pk or stay out of the box

Because the could care less about the draft, and don't want a high draft pick rookie coming into camp next season, and beat one of them out of job.

Heatley asked to leave and a large contingent of players asked Murray to move him.

Duchene must be amped....
