GDT: Your Ottawa Senators at Sabres - 2PM, TSN5, - Battle Royale Edition

So a Fan can Mock the team they supposedly cheer for?

Yes! Mocking incompetence and shitty players is how fans get through lean years. It's okay to admit your favorite team is going through a period of being a joke! I say this as a Sens and Bills fan.

When I was a kid I worked for a millionaire called Mr Les. He was always standing around the workplace rubbing his butt through his expensive pants. Another kid saw me looking at Mr Les rubbing his bum, winked at me and said, “itchy bum, money to come”. Most insightful thing I’ve ever heard.

LOL

Now I know why the porsche in your driveway

This is so stupid and childish but also the biggest laugh I've had in a while.

Lmao I can do whatever I see fit. What I can do without is your gatekeeping bullshit as a shill for the ineptitude of this ownership

Let’s be honest incompetence and shitty players have nothing to do with it. It’s about the unwillingness to blame certain players for poor performance. The thing is when the scapegoats are no longer and someone has to take the blame and it’s usually a player who got a free pass in the past. Cody Ceci is a great example, he was given a free pass when Chris Phillips was around. All of a sudden Phillips retired and Ceci went from top pairing potential to not even being an NHL caliber player. It creates unfair expectations for players because the majority just turn a blind eye to their faults.

I think as an Eagles fan I at least have that bliss of finally seeing them win a Super Bowl.

This is false. Ceci and Phillips together were horrendous. They both got a ton of flack on here when they were a thing.

6 ASSETS AS MOST IMPORTANT TRADE IN REBUILD!

Ceci doesn't just get singled out here. He is singled out all over the twittersphere by Sens fans and media personalities.

Does that feeling erase all the misery from past failures? Asking for a friend...

 

[Korpse]

This is false. Ceci and Phillips together were horrendous. They both got a ton of flack on here when they were a thing.

Majority of it was directed at Phiilips, perhaps Ceci started to get more flack when Phillips was still around, but I remember fairly well defending Phillips and pointing out Ceci flaws because many wanted to point the finger at one player.

 

[dumbdick]

Listened to most of this one on the radio. Turns out I still really enjoy listening to Sens games even when we get royally smoked.

The bloggers who post on twitter have had a big influence on the fan base for a long time.

People generally accept that mistakes will happen with rookies/younger players. Ceci was OK when he was playing with Phillips but the problem is that he is still basically the same player today.

When a 19 year old Ceci messes up it's ok and we'll hope he improves. When a 24 year old Ceci makes the same mistakes it's worrying. When a 38 year old Chris Phillips is constantly looking bad, it's time to retire or for the team to cut bait.

Melnyk trying to buy those peeps out now.

 

[Stylizer1]

Fans are excited.
Players are excited.
Sponsors are excited.
We’re a TEAM!

We'll be fine.

 

[solidprospect]

No forwards were credited with a hit. Demelo had 1, Burgdoerfer 2, Jaros 3. That's it.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

No, Mocking the team is just your uncontrollable hatred for the owner, being wrongly directly at the team.

We’ve gotten absolutely obliterated 3 of the last 4 games.... it’s okay to poke a little fun lmao.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Pretty basic stuff ... They are losing their minds.

Theeeeeeerreeees Cody!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! lol

Think rebuild.... Then try again...

Is this a rebuild? If so then duchene and stone simply cannot stay lol.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

didn't watch the game but notice Chabot was a -3, Demelo a -4 and Ceci was a 0 and scored a goal.

How was Ceci's game today?

Wasn’t our worst d man. But it’s not like he was this shining beacon of hope amongst the darkness either.

If he plays like that every night it would be acceptable barring a massive raise in dollars.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Cody Ceci was not a minus in a 9-2 game; Scored a goal.. Credit where credit is due.

Paajarvi and Jaros also zeros... Everybody else was a minus

Jaros was a zero and I thought this was his worst game in a while. I don’t like plus minus.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

On other news:

Chabot appears to have tied Morgan Rielly for the defenseman scoring race....

Didn't anyone tell him we wanted him to catch up to him in the points scoring race, but not play like him defensively?

Here’s the troll sauntering over lmao.

Be careful what you call other people, lest you become it yourself.
