Speculation: A long run of wins is coming

[DylanSensFan]

It's one of those things. When the Sens are dominating possession and shots without result the pressure mounts on Ullmark, and it feels almost like an insurmountable climb back when he lets in bad goals after such an effort.

I just re-watched the highlights from the Oilers game and I can't say Llnus let bad goals in that game. We just gave some grade-A chances to McDraisaitl.

"A long run of wins is coming"

For us or for teams playing against us?

I'm hoping for us.

3-1 homestand would be nice. Toronto just pissed off Vegas after shutting them out tonight lol

We can beat Vegas.

Athletes go through ups and downs. As everyone who's played sports knows, one month you're in the zone and the next month you're trash. They have lost their confidence (in particular Ullmark). Will they get it back? Most definitely. How long it takes is the issue.

Id say pro athletes* not just athletes.

Playing the top level competitive hockey and soccer throughout my teens, I never noticed the type of ups and downs I noticed with the pros. The best players were always the best players and the worst players were always the worst players.

It's the pros where the difference in ability is tiny from the top to the bottom so anyone on any given night can be good or bad relative to the roster.

Apologies on the nitpick btw lmao I just always found it fascinating how up and down pros are compared to amateurs. Growing up, I never noticed these ups and downs...that guy who was a better skater than everyone being scouted was generally always better. It wasnt depended on ups and downs. He just stepped on the ice and skated around everyone and created plays regardless of the day or how he felt.

Then I'll watch game tape of batherson creating something every time he touches the puck one game....and then I'll watch 3 games where he's invisible and only has a secondary assist.


How is it that I can see him dominate like that 16 year old kid, but then he disappears for multiple games.

Obviously I know the answer is it's the top level and the difference is so small...just saying I never experienced this as a relatively good athlete growing up.

We all want a winning streak more than anything. This T.V. Show can’t kill off its main plot line in November and expect people to watch until April.

Forsberg always seems to do what you least expect him not to do so he’ll probably go on a home winning streak here versus all these good teams.

My dream was also pretty crazy. It was about how the elevators in my office didn't work and would free fall, but it was fine and everyone just adjusted by jumping before we land. Strange, but I had completely forgotten it until I stepped into the elevator this morning.

So in your dream we went on a winning streak? That's cool.

Dreams are strange indeed.

Jumping before the elevator crashes is a bad idea, you are more likely to make things worse (you may end up hitting the ceiling, then hitting the ground at just about the same force as if you hadn't jumped), and the potential benefit is so minimal that the added risk just doesn't make sense.

Let me go back into my dream and tell people that! What were they thinking!?!
