GDT: Boston Bruins at Ottawa Senators - 3PM - CBC/SN - This Game is for Points, Four Points Edition

Forsberg was drafted 14 years ago and played 174 NHL games over 10 seasons so far. Hard to imagine he'll all of the sudden somehow figure it out and put it all together.

Nobody is claiming Forsberg. We can bury him in the AHL without a problem, I think.

To both of you: Surely some GM will take the chance just on the basis of all the former Sens goalie prospects littered around the league who are bona fide starters.

In your head we were immature, outplayed and shit.

Meanwhile, maturity is not giving up till last whistle, despite being down two late, we out shot them, out chanced them.

Your schtick is so lame.

I said we were immature. We were not outplayed. The bruins made a bunch of defensive mistakes themselves.

So you believe your own lies? You literally said

And I quote you here...

We played like ass. Yeah cause that's definitely implying we were the better team. Or how about in this thread saying I don't judge a game because we scored two late goals.

You're a delusional troll. Period

I am no “so priviliedged”. But maybe more privileged than your current idea of me with many problems in my life.

This is a discussion board. There is no drama. I am a pessimistic sports fan. That is all there is to it.

I cheer for the sens. The Minnesota Vikings. The New York Knicks. The Los Angeles angels and Internazionale (if you know soccer). My sports teams have never given me much to be happy about.

If you don’t like my posting. Block me.

I have had discussions with hundreds of posters here now going on a decade. They’ve dealt with my pessimism and the stupid shit I say and I’ve dealt with the stupid shit they’ve said. Cest la vie.

Maybe you’re not cut out for the cut throat “condescending” mean hockey discussion board life.

Hey, Inter just got their title, nothing to complain about!

One of the most exciting Sens games I seen in a while. That was certainly a playoff style game and the boys came ready to play.

This Is one of those games that felt like you could go back and pinpoint when things changed for the better. Not that I expect them to go on some huge winning streak, but I think there was a click tonight with them and tonight's game is one that seems like it changes everything. That look like a team that was fighting for each other every shift. I was proud to be a Sims fan this game.

There was a lot of outstanding performances by a lot of players tonight, so many that you could almost list the entire team. One player that really stood out to me though was Norris. This game and the past few games have shown to me. This is why we got this player and why we don't trade this player. No one will ever give us the value that he can bring to the table and there's a lot more to his game. Injuries have slowed them down and it'll always hold back. Trade value and what he brings to the table is worth more than we'll ever get for him.

This is a quick turnaround game and after coming off of a huge win like this, not sure how they turn it around so quickly but whatever happens happens I don't care. This was a great game for the franchise I believe.

Ottawa is for real. The determination, belief, team chemistry, next man up - all the intangibles winning teams have the Sens have it all.

Seeing Chabot with that bucket and all the bandages and his team wins it late it’s what the attitude of the team is in one image, pure savagery and disciplined animal instinct. Love Chabot, an all time heart guy for the jersey. Sens logo proud to see this guy in the locker room every day.

And Brady doesn’t fight anymore but this team to me is way way way tougher than they were when Brady would fight anyone he picked off the bingo card. The team shows a completely different level of toughness and it’s throughout the lineup, they are wild dogs on loose pucks, monk like discipline in their positioning, hustle like being in proximity to the puck is a life force, play with the passion of little kids. Didn’t like seeing Brady get pushed around and shove back with his gloves on, but all that focus is on winning now and that was a turn the franchise around type game.

And how the Karlsson trade hit last night:

Ostapchuk punching Kastelic in the face lot’s (loved that)
Leevi Hamburglaring it
Josh Norris being clutch
Timmy being Timmy

Why do all Ottawa based Bruins fan looks like they smoke 2 packs of menthols and drink a 2-4 of Molson light everyday

Because they do.

f*** those "Southie" wannabe motherf***ers.

Go be an old dingbat elsewhere. No one likes your schtick. Thanks

You’re entitled to your opinion…as is everyone else here.
The difference for some people is that they live and let live, and don’t mock or hurl insults……

I have no idea how a team accepts that kind of scheduling. Almost every weekend is a back to back WITH travel. How is that even allowed?

Well I think it a result, from years ago, when the NHL foolishly decided to participate in the Olympics. The NHL bent over backwards for the IOC, paused their session, at the most crucial time of the schedule mind you, and forced themselves to compress the NHL schedule…… then came the “week” off, that all teams get during a regular season that isn’t interrupted with an Olympics and this year the 4 Nations Cup.

So now we essentially see a watered down product on the ice because of the kind of scheduling you’re seeing today. Instead of seeing reasonably well rested teams for every game, and more “maintenance “ days for some players, and fewer starts per season for the Starting goaltender ….. this is the NHL today.

Some people would prefer going back to the days when the NHL product was better, no interruptions for tournaments of any kind, no more loss of key players from injuries from participating in those tournaments, during the most important stretch of the NHL season.

One could make the argument that Ottawa lost an almost certain Stanley Cup because of a player injured while playing in a tournament shoved into the NHL schedule….
