Speculation: A long run of wins is coming

Should rename this thread to "The Cope Room".

Or "thank God for advanced stats" thread.

Maybe we can win the nerd stats cup this season.

If Ullmark returns to form then yes.

If not, then no.

I think it will have more to do with being able to continue playing their game (i.e., not fall apart and revert to bad habits) when they fall behind. Until they get over that hurdle, this team isn't going anywhere.

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.

Ullmark didn't have a bad game the other night. Maybe the 3rd goal but they hadn't scored yet by that point. This isn't all on goaltending. They play like shit when they get scored on first, and for some reason, can't find the back of the net first lately. Too many mental midgets on this team who can't handle the pressure. How do you fix that? Is it even fixable when so many of your core players suffer from it?

They'll start playing better again once they're out of it and the pressure's off. We have seen this movie before.

Ottawa hasn't won more than 5 games in a row since 2017, we're not going on any reasonable streak anytime soon. Sorry.

I'd be happy with a 3 game streak. They haven't done that this year yet.

We still delusional about this garbage team?

The team isn't garbage. They are just mentally weak from my perspective. They finally showed some heart tonight at least. Stü should be captain.
