I guess they have something called 1 goal view in the new Utah arena. The tickets are sold at a discounted price in the endzone where the goal nearest to you is literally not viewable because the overhang of the upper deck blocks of the view of the nearest goal.

Sounds like they are gonna fix it in the offseason though.

Coyotes were like that before they moved to Glendale

Will Ottawa be able to win enough of the 30+ games Ullmark doesn't play in order to compete for a playoff spot?

I doubt it.

The Senators defence last year was atrocious and their defensive zone play was poor. Their goaltending was not good, but most advanced stats show that their defensive coverage, crease defending, and tendency to giveaway the puck was within the bottom in the league.

The eye test backs this up too. I've always been underwhelmed with Chabot and Sanderson. I would not be comfortable as a fan of them heading into the season with that D corps.

What advanced metrics? Advanced metrics last year said that the sens were actually better than Boston and Buffalo in xGA.

First of all, I didn't say the Sabres were better.

Secondly, they were in the bottom portion of the league in giveaways in the dzone, rebound goals against, rebound shots against, high danger shots against.

"Linus was stiff"

Ullmark not going to give them more than 50 games.

Biron mentioned once that Ullmark was pulling himself out a lot in Buffalo if his body didn't feel right.
