GDT: Sens vs Habs - Chuck Norris edition - 22 Feb 2020 7:00 - SN1, SN east, City tv

[Sens of Anarchy]

Why is Pageau on in the last minute?

 

[TheDebater]

I cannot wait to have a good team again. Honestly getting tired of losing to the Habs and Leafs so much.

 

[swiftwin]

Leafs have mustered 6 shots in the 3rd close to 3 minutes to go

Pathetic. Thankfully I made more than enough off the Habs winning, and U6.5 and U5.5 in our game

 

[OUTHOUSE]

How’d the Habs only score 3?

 

[TheDebater]

Domi really enjoyed that clown show lol

The only clown in the game was Domi himself.

 

[DueDiligence]

There is no shame in losing to Carey Price; on the other hand losing to a Zamboni driver..........

 

[Deku]

Alright Pierre lets get those trades going now

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don’t think there’s a single doubt we will be historically bad next year.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Why is Pageau on in the last minute?

He didn’t play much in the third. It feels like

why would we be?

Why? I hope there's a huge step forward.

Step forward coming from where

we'll probably be more of the same as this year, but still a long way to go

 

[Burrowsaurus]

why would we be?

Why wouldn’t we be? Namestnikov duclair and and ennis gave us dream seasons. And we just traded our second best d man

 

[SpezDispenser]

Step forward coming from where

Coming from whatever we end up with points wise. 60 or whatever.

Batherson with another off season of training, start to fill out.

Big draft pick likely playing.

Another big draft pick possibly playing.

Brannstrom coming in knowing what it will take to stay in the league.

Norris probably making the team.

Formenton will get a long look.

I dont see how we're not better, but, as always, we'll see

Edit: forgot about tkachuk too, who will get better and better and bigger and nastier

 

[Matsens15]

All we need is somebody to lean on.

 

[Alfie11]

Why? I hope there's a huge step forward.

If they don't use the money freed up for some quality NHL players, there's no reason to think there's going to be an improvement in the standings. I don't know about historically bad (that's extreme) but bottom 2 looks like a lock.

We have two defencemen who belong in the top 5 of an NHL team. We have 3-4 quality middle six forwards to got with a collection of kids and spare parts.

It's a really, really bad roster.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Why wouldn’t we be? Namestnikov duclair and and ennis gave us dream seasons. And we just traded our second best d man

This second best dman stuff needs to die. DeMelo can easily be replaced in the summer (maybe even by DeMelo)

Ennis could also easily re sign lol

don’t see any way we’re worse than this year

The roster will be completely different though. And if they luck out on Lafreniere that’s a free first line elite winger for next year

Unless we pick top 2 i don't think anyone else in the draft is really NHL ready atleast ready enough to make an impact to change our team significantly

Wont be any worse than this year. People talk about Ennis and namestikov having good seasons, but the history is there and they were given prime minutes.

We need to fill some spots with free agents, but again, Batherson having another off season to bulk up and knowing what it takes is huge. Tkachuk being a year older will be massive. Duclair will know and work on consistency. Norris and formenton will be knocking on the door.

A lot will depend on wolanin and Brannstrom and the steps they take forward and who we we can bring in to solidify the defence a bit.

Maybe not. Hard to say though. I was thinking as I typed that Byfield is too young imo.

ya probably only laf will come in make a difference for a team but the sens got a long way to go

Long way to go and historically bad are two different things completely though. I expect a really competitive team night in and out. More so than this year anyway. And I dont think I'm dreaming in technicolor personally, although some of it is blind hope in the youth for sure.

You make it sound like those guys are top players. Guess what. They aren't. And the "second best" Dman is a third pairing guy on any playoff team. All are very replaceable.
If the Sens have 2 picks in the top 6 of the draft right away they will be better than this year.
