Changed over to the NJ stream because they have pxp

 

[Senscore]

I missed the first few minutes of the game - did the Sens manage a shot on goal in the period? I didn't see one.

Gotta be less than 5.

 

[slamigo]

These kids aren't making much of the opportunity to showcase themselves. Lots of disorganized play and frankly baffling decisions with the puck. They look completely outclassed.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Eliasson, my brother in christ, there is more to the position than trying to launch yourself at the puck carrier, have you tried using your stick sometimes?

 

[Senator Stanley]

That period was textbook Don Boyd hockey. No notes.

 

[SensFactor]

We might have the bottom 5 prospect pool in the league after all

 

[senswon]

Didn't play as a team. Lots of individual efforts, leaving guys alone in the slot, passing??
That was a woof period

The PA in the arena said shots were 14 to 4.

link?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Ellinas looked pretty good

I'm still trying to figure out why he was a 2nd round pick.

Seems every year there's plenty of massive guys who can skate decent but have the instincts of a can of soup.

 

[Cosmix]

Not enough skill in the lineup today. No "wow" moments so far except for that Squire kid on NJ who has 2 goals.

I didn't know it was up for debate.

 

[Speatleysson]

How is Tyler Boucher playing?

I can understand it in a vacuum. He's huge, he's fairly mobile, he's extremely physical and he's very young. He's a major project, but there's a world where he becomes a fairly unique, pretty valuable player.

The problem is the completely lack of diversity in what we look for.

 

[Ouroboros]

The PA in the arena said shots were 14 to 4.

Thanks. More than I would have thought, actually.

This is how it's gone for the Sens rookies at this tourny over the last 3 or 4 years - they can barely touch the puck. I think the Habs outshot them something like 45-14 last year, Pittsburgh bombed them 9-3. Good stuff.

How is Tyler Boucher playing?

He is. That's a positive for him.

 

[Senscore]

How is Tyler Boucher playing?

I'm surprised he isn't injured either but so far so good

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

To be fair he's a very raw prospect. All the physical tools in the world but he has a long way to go before he puts it together.

Talking heads but do they know the players' names on our roster?

 

[Masked]

The New Jersey stream has a fantastic segment going on right now with Dougie Hamilton and Curtis Lazar.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

How does Yakemchuk look?

 

[Cosmix]

Boucher has not done much if anything so far. He does not look out of place on this roster of players.

How does Yakemchuk look?

Not noticeable by me.

Hey Michael; get some dudes on our streams to silence the silence! Even amateurs would do nicely. No I don't meant Gord and whatshisname.

Dummy scouts keep wasting our high 2nds on guys ranked in the mid-3rd round

I mean a lot of these guys are getting the puck off the glass and dumping it in in their leagues pre draft. That’s gonna change now
