5 road games left on the big trip.

[Gil Gunderson]

Doesn't look like Ullmark will be ready,

 

[JD1]

Hopefully Ullmark is good to go.

I figured soogaard was getting the call regardless. Suppose Ullmark plays, gets thru the Winnipeg game, wakes up stiff and can't back up in Minnesota.

Fingers crossed that Ullmark is ready to go

 

[L'Aveuglette]

People speak of the long road trip but the entire month of January will be a huge grind:

1. Team is scheduled to play 15 games. That's a ton of hockey.

2. We'll be mostly facing playoff teams.

3. Four back to backs

4. Ullmark is not healthy

I don't see how we come out of it in a playoff spot, especially if we lose the next two games with a rookie in net.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well. We need to stay .500 lol. Big time treading water here.

Hopefully Ullmark is good to go.

Ullmark is out a little while. He didnt even travel with the team so 4 games at least

 

[Knave]

I know it's not a big loss but I hope Amadio takes care of himself. He's not coming on the trip either and sounds more long term. Concussions suck.

 

[OD99]

The team has played some tight hockey for a while, and are clearly capable of limiting chances against.

It's time to rally around the young goalies, play disciplined and gut out some ugly wins.

Getting the PP sorted out on the road, would be huge, too. Let's win some special teams battles.

 

[DrEasy]

Well, let's hope at least that Stutzle is at 100% now.

 

[BigRig4]

The next 3 games are going to be very difficult without Ullmark. I honestly wouldn’t be that disappointed with 1-2.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I’d be surprised if we win one of the next three games.

 

[PlayOn]

Kaprizov is day to day, so there’s a chance he might not play Sunday. That would obviously be a huge break for us.

 

[mianjo]

Ulmark out 2 weeks

 

[SlapJack]

Winnipeg record outside their 10-11 game win streak to start the season is something like 15-10 very winnable game

Standings on Nov 23rd:
Winnipeg 17-4-0 34pts 1st place in the league, 4pts ahead of Minnesota
Ottawa 8-11-1 17 pts, one point out of last place in the league

Since:
Ottawa 10-3-1 21 pts tied for 1st place in the league
Winnipeg: 8-6-1 15pts, playoff bubble team

Kaprizov is day to day, so there’s a chance he might not play Sunday. That would obviously be a huge break for us.

Also out is Erikkson-Ek and Jake Middleton and Minnesota has gone 3-6 the last 9 games mostly with Kaprizov IN the lineup. They've been one of the worst teams the last few weeks.

Too much doom and gloom here, these will still be tough games and maybe Ullmark won't be available, but they can get points here.

@TSN1200

Green says Amadio will be out for a while, Perron and Zub are both skating again.

Have they said what Amadio's injury is? I assume concussion, but that was an awkward hit in to the boards and could be a number of things.

Sounds like some adversity for the team to rally around.

In all honesty, if they come out of Jan within 5 points if the playoffs and healthy I'll still be a playoff believer.

Haven't heard any details on Ama.
Wonder if Perron and/or Zub will be travelling with the team.
(That could be a boost.)

Getting smashed face first into the dasher is a great way to get concussed

You know boys, you don't make the playoffs winning just the easy ones.

You need to beat some other playoff teams and do it on the road.

We could lost the next 3, win the last 2 and go 5-4 overall which I'd of happily taken. But I just don't like the optics of the 4 game losing streak.

Plus the Sens Will likely have their AHL goaltenders playing some of these games….. being forced to overplay Ullmark is coming back to bite them…. Injuries have consequences

I’d be surprised if we win one of the next three games.

Watch out ….they’ll accuse you gaslighting them…..

 

[Back in Black]

11 hours to gO

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I hope they go on a tear and take the majority of the games so all you Burrowsaurus' will calm down with the emo shit

 

[zenator]

2 games at least.

The Sens have 3 days off before the Dallas game. They will surely head home after the Minnesota game on the 29th. They'll be home for the 30th and 31st, before travelling to Dallas on the 1st for the game on the 2nd.

Hopefully, Ullmark goes with the team to Dallas.

 

[Samboni]

Don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer, but the Sens have a history of sputtering out of the Christmas Break. Hopefully Forsberg is 100% healthy, if not he may not be up for the task and I have zero faith that Levi can carry the ball. The Sens have their work cut out for them and wins in Winnipeg and Minny will be crucial in determining their fate.

EDIT: I see that Forsberg isn’t cleared to play yet… responsible 200-play will be required from all players if they hope to have a chance.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Ullmark out and Amadio out are significant blows.

We will need Zub and Perron back absolutely ASAP.

I know it's not a big loss but I hope Amadio takes care of himself. He's not coming on the trip either and sounds more long term. Concussions suck.

Amadio is out is a huge loss, especially because the replacement is notable worse. He's been one of our best players during the last stretch of games which have been among the best of the season.

4 points in last 5 +4
6 points in last 10 +5

Above all he has been a forechecking, possession and puck hound force.

 

[aragorn]

Didn't we lose both goalies in last yr's western road trip too? What is it with goalies these days, they are always getting hurt or freak shit happen to them. Having a bad back isn't good that could flare at anytime. Goaltending continues to be this team's Achilles heal.

Keep in mind, Linus said after the trade he wanted to play 60 games.

It wasn't "forced" as much as other circumstances where it's him or AHL backup. Dude wanted this.
