DJ Smith trying to save his job for one more game

 

[Frenchy]

That wasnt pretty , but we won

 

[The Gongshow]

Suck on that Tkachuk! Gg's

 

[RussianGuyovich]

never had any doubt!

 

[DaBolts]

I'll take the ugly win. Any win on the road now is going to be ugly.

 

[JTBF81]

Well, wasn't a work of art, but 2 points secured! A road and divisional win as well

 

[Master P]

That DJ sure was something.

 

[ccman68]

well good time for johansson to have a bad game with all the goal support. still wish we knew what defense is

 

[Frenchy]

DJ Smith trying to save his job for one more game

Pretty Sure Patrick Roy was watching the game tonight . On the canadian feed they brought up all kind of Stats that made Smith look bad , like they wanted him to get fired

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Happy for the 2 points, but that was not the way we wanted them.

Another terrible 3rd period. Only thing that saved us was we were able to outscore our problems. Otherwise that's 4-4 and we're headed back to OT

 

[Rschmitz]

Worst start since 2011 I'll take every W

That's the only way I'm expecting to win games given this defense.

Team started worse in '19-'20, 5-4-2. I'll also take how that season finished in exchange though...

 

[Felonious Python]

The Sens go to Sweden in like a week. I'd think DJ Smith would be safe for now.

Nov 27th against Florida could be important. Ottawa then has 3 days off before playing Columbus. If they decide to make a coaching change, that'd be an okay spot.

The Sens have a pretty busy schedule in December.

Pretty sure they were talking about the power play on that

That so? Was just parroting what the Ottawa announcers said, was surprised as well when they said that

Pretty sure they were talking about the power play on that

They were talking about the PP about the same time but pretty sure they were speaking specifically of our record there based on context. Either way we can just look I guess to know for sure ha.

 

[Renopucker]

II was almost soiling my trousers waiting for Achooo! To drop ‘em with TJ. Damn, maybe another night eh? BTW, I guess 86 and 21 got the messages (from us?) or somebody? Oh, and another big notch in ABB’s belt tonite: noticed several standout plays showing he’s prospering playing with 86 and 21.

 

[LightningStorm]

Kuch and Point looking good back together! Hopefully this hat trick will the spark Point needs going forward.

 

[Stammertime91]

Yeah you gotta love what ABB is doing right now. More production than Colton at a fraction of the cost. Can he sustain it? Can he do it in the playoffs when the game gets even tougher? Don't know but he's looking better this time around. Hoping he can continue.

I missed large parts of this one but glad to see we got the win.

 

[LightningStrikes]

It’s good to see Achoo-cherov is sneezing points again.

 

[Sky04]

We really were going to give ABB away for free to keep Motte and Sheary in the lineup, Glendening too I guess, FA signings are so overrated.

 

[Stammertime91]

We really were going to give ABB away for free to keep Motte and Sheary in the lineup, Glendening too I guess, FA signings are so overrated and this board was going crazy about signing bottom of the barrel players. The most impressive players out of camp were what? 3 guys already in our pool?

I mean, Motte takes himself out of the lineup. Sheary has been more visible the last couple games but I don't like the three year part... Glendening is a wash for PEB. Face off and PK guy, you need those. Wish it was like 3-5 years ago.

I'd give JBB a B- on those signings collectively. Sheary is the wildcard if he can produce when we need depth. Were there better options? Yeah, probably.

I really like Eyssimont. His confidence is growing too. I'd like to see more from Merela, though.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Jeannot got absolutely played by Brady last night though, he better be a whole lot smarter next time.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

This goes right on the wall next to Vinny slashing PK Subban on the pants and Subban grabbing the wrong leg

 

[Sky04]

If you can't goad him into a fight at least don't let him goad you into a penalty.
