Pre-season, but yeah 12 shots with 3 pp's against another bottom 3 team in the league is rough.

I keep on thinking we could surprise - we're not that bad.

But then you compare the roster to other teams in the league. The defence is just SO bad.

If we played a run and gun style there'd be an entertainment factor at least, but the Boucher system is going to make for a long, painful season.

We don't have the horses to play run and gun, we would get gunned out 95% of our game

Really doubt it. Probably will get sent down tomorrow to attend Belleville’s camp which starts on Monday.
What a pity. However, he might prove himself in Belleville and get a call up afterwards for a few games in the big league.

We really are that bad though.

Missing this game and yesterday's game due to outage.

We are going to be bottom 5 of the league right?

Rebuilds are the best without your first rounder

I wont put much stock into these games until we have our full lineup

We are also only a week into camp. The games on the 27th and 29th will give us a better idea of what kind of team we have.

It’s preseason so it’s absolutely meaningless but if the Sens have that kind of start to the season, then Boucher might not survive very long. Not that they have to make the playoffs but they have to at least compete. If Boucher is fired, then a new coach would be a breath of fresh air... That being said, I need to see some regular season games to see if Boucher has changed his ways or it’s really hopeless with him as a coach. For now, all that matters is individual performance

Let’s keep in mind that there is only 6 veterans on this team tonight... 1 is the goalie, 2 are 4th liners, then Ceci, Stone and Ryan. You can expect a team lacking experience, cohesion and refined pro play. But that is the PLAN that they chose : Going full rebuild in a season you don’t have your 1st round pick!!! It’s really baffling

Oh and for the person asking, Habs were 0-6 in preseason last year IIRC. Plenty of teams go winningless in the preseason, it’s really nothing special
