Well, it's a good thing the Sens not only solved their goaltending problem for this year, but for another 4 years at 8.25MM.

Maybe, just maybe, the problem with that team isn’t all goaltending.

You are proposing an interesting concept. Ah well let's just bring in a coach who couldn't coach a defensive system to save his life and why not just throw some more offence-only players into the mix—that's worked so well for them for their now 8th year of the rebuild.

The Golden Knights top line is on fire. Stone 14 points, Eichel 13 points, Barbashev 11 points. Seems like Mark Stone is back which is bad news for the rest of the league. They need a top six forward and steady goaltending but I think people were/are sleeping on them.

Penguins taking the day off today should be well rested for tomorrow

29-5 shots in favor of Edmonton. Expecting Pittsburgh to come out strong tomorrow after Sullivan lays into them for sleepwalking through the beginning of this game.

i don't get why people think they'll be bad. they have the best (and biggest) defense in the league and they are super deep at center (eichel, karlsson, hertl, roy, howden). their wings aren't great but i guess people don't realize how good dorofeyev is?

I felt people were sleeping on them. Biggest thing, and it was last year, was health.

Yet somehow 0-0.

Penguins look cooked.

Oilers have been all over them.

Ah Travis green. Team plays good then final seconds of Vegas pp they back in, Vegas walks in allowed to do whatever they want and tie it up. Then goal 20 seconds later to take the lead then an empty net.

Really don't get that hire and sens have so much talent, that has to sting. 3 goals in 85 seconds.

I get the feeling that Green's system for playing defense is "come on guys, let's play defense!"

Podkolzin picks up a point. Good for him.
