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.

3-7-2 in November.

November they knew they needed to play well. Started 1-4 and lost to the Saber’s and Islanders at home. What can you say, they are a bad team.


5th worst team in the league.

Our teams mental game is a mental game we wish we could throw out and replace with a better mental game.

Like an item in your house that you're frustrated with and always criticize and can't wait until you replace so it can go in the trash.

That's the teams mental strength. It's so bad that it's replacement level...aka trash.

Title says "A long run of wins is coming" but it never says when so it could be next year or later

Winter is coming.

Remember watching game of thrones and wondering how long we have to wait for winter to come?

Same thing here.

Wins are coming, but in season 7 and this is season 1. Patience fellow sans fans. Wins are coming in 2029.

The first post said "to finish out November" so I thought it means now, but you are right it doesn't say the year.

Yes that is what I was getting at. So the OP has bases all covered, good work.

The prophecy is still intact.

To find comfort from a few advanced stats does seem odd given the stark contrast of the more obvious & meaningful reality of our situation.
