[NyQuil]

4-5 is what I hope.

2-7 is what I’m expecting.

Forsberg and Ullmark are going to be key because I think we will get outplayed a lot.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

5-3-1.

I want 6-3, but will definitely go for 5-3-1.

And no losses in a row. Big key from now til the end of the season is not to have losing streaks.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I hope for 10 points someway.

9 points not the end of the world.

Less than 9 and a pin has pin pushed into our collective bubble of optimism.

 

[UglyPuckling]

They need at least 5 wins.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

That is a tough road trip.

I'd be pretty happy 8 or 9 points. At least then we'd still be in the race in January.

 

[DueDiligence]

9-0

Hopefully you don't get too disappointed if they go 8-1.

 

[BondraTime]

3-5-1

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

this franchise is due for a long extended run of wins and i will be optimistic and say it comes now.

6-3

Fair to say the biggest road this team needed to travel with all their short comings was being a winning road team - and you can’t make the playoffs with a losing road record.

Team seems to have found their road game - but this is the test to see how far they’ve gotten and if their team game on the road is good enough to keep them in a playoff spot. Winning on the road also the hardest thing to do in the NHL but the Sens are ready

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

9-0

C'mon man, it's time to up your game:

10 & -1.

 

[OgieO]

I dunno but its scary. If we are right around that #8 spot when its over I will be officially excited.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I'd be happy with a .500 roadtrip. Just come out unscathed.

 

[Micklebot]

The biggest difference in our Home vs Away stats (outside of the W/L) seems to be special teams, the PP in particular.

Home PP: 32.8%
Road PP: 14.3%

Idk if there's all that much of a home team advantage on the PP typically, looking at the previous 3 years it seems like there's a small bump league wide, but certainly not double the efficiency, which suggests that maybe this is a sample size issue.

6-3 in the next 9 let's go!

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

5-3-1 seems very doable (but not easy). It is what I will be happy with!

 

[2CHAINZ]

Hopefully you don't get too disappointed if they go 8-1.

Less than 9-0 and I'm done with this team.

 

[JimmyApples]

3-4-2, we come out of this with an 18-17-4 record. Honestly, I’d be okay with it.

Some really tough games in there, on the road, with back to backs. Hoping goaltending can bail us out.

Solid win, in OT….. today’s game is going to be a real test for the Sens.

Seemed to me that the third and fourth lines received a little more than their fair share of TOI vs the Canucks…. Knowing that the Oilers played an afternoon game Saturday and will comparatively be better rested, and the Sens playing then flying to Edmonton lossing an hour, I think the coaching staff allotted the TOI with these factors in mind….. Oilers will be most likely be playing their Starting goaltender today, as will the Sens….

 

[JD1]

4-5 is what I hope.

2-7 is what I’m expecting.

Forsberg and Ullmark are going to be key because I think we will get outplayed a lot.

I guess they're exceeding expectations then

 

[NyQuil]

I guess they're exceeding expectations then

So far so good.
