GDT: Buffalo Sabres at Ottawa Senators - 7PM - TSN5 / RDS2 - 4th and Final Sabre Rattling Rigmarole with the JBD Juggernauts (no Brady)

You can be pissed off at the Sens without sitting in the chair beside the hotel bed, you know?

6 is better 5 man. This team, and I repeat. Is bad when the refs allow them to play with an EXTRA PLAYER.

For a full 6 minutes of a 20 minute period that’s over 25% of a period the refs allowed us to play with an EXTRA PLAYER . And the guys were simply not interested in taking advantage of this sort of opportunity.

You may not be aware of this but icing doesn’t apply when your team is on the power play. That means that when you lose the puck, the other team is free to take shots at the empty net.

I’d trust a PP that has been upper half all season to get it done and then pull the goalie if necessary when icing applies.

We miss the playoffs like…every year?
Okay. Great. I want to make the playoffs while looking strong and then I want to win multiple series in those playoffs.

Making the playoffs doesn’t mean anything. I’ve seen this team make the playoffs before. And likely will again. Half the f***ing teams in the NHL make the playoffs lol it’s not some exclusive club
looooooooooooooooool

Drop the schtick. It's getting too obvious.

Okay. I wouldn’t not because they’re bad. I would give them all the help they need and that is ALOT. Of course playing with TWO extra men is still not enough for our guys

Man you must be the most miserable fan of this team I've ever seen.

We're all mad about this game and the way they've looked mediocre sometimes but if you'll only be happy when they're dominating the league and winning president trophies, it's time to take a step back and ask yourself why you even cheer for a team.

What shtick. This isn’t even negativity. It’s year 8 of the rebuild playoffs should be a given. I want to do damage in the playoffs
Okay, so maybe wait until we make the playoffs before complaining about not doing any damage in the playoffs?

The math is strongly against the Sens missing the playoffs, but the vibes would suggest it's realistic.

It's not hard to see a path. They're going to lose the next 2 to Tampa and Florida - that's pretty much a lock, especially if Tkachuk can't go. Then you have a home-and-home with Columbus - those game will decide their fate. Then a game against the Habs they will definitely lose.

So here's my scorching hot take - the season will come down to the final game against Carolina. And they lose.

This team will likely never win another presidents trophy nor will we ever win a cup. Thats just the reality of the market and the state of the league.

I expect them to look better in crunch time.

Idk man you have to start somewhere. Expecting this team to go from 25th in the NHL last year to SC contender this year is a big ask. They’ve made a lot of strides, and despite you saying they're terrible, they to this point haven’t exactly limped into the playoffs.

No one is saying we just want to make the playoffs forever.

I'm happy we don't play Buffalo anymore. But Montreal won all 4 games versus Florida this season hockey is a weird game, how can anyone explain that?
 
Habs need to get 6 more points than Ottawa in the last 8 games to pass us. Is that doable? They still have a scheduled win against us next week.

Even if we make the playoffs but stumble in like that, the optics are such dogshit.

I’m saying they’re terrible Right now and have been since 4 nations. I was RAVING about their defensive play October, November, December. That team is nowhere to be found right now

I explain it the same way I explain our losses to Buffalo.

Some teams have another team's number. Montreal has Florida's, Buffalo has ours.

Why is it a lock we’re going to lose to Tampa and Florida at home when we’ve beaten both this season?

Okay and when the Sens clinch a playoff spot I want to you come here and eat some crow :naughty:

I don’t want to limp into the playoffs. The reality is we won’t be favorites. And we will likely lose that’s what usually happens to bottom seeds. But man look half ass.

Habs lost Barkov today on top of their million injuries and were still decimated on the weekend. This isn’t the SC champioj Panthers than are playing right now.

We can talk about the match-up game all we want, going 0-8 against the Habs and Sabres is not good.

Well the third period against the penguins was ….. not good. A team that looks like it’s tanking. And they were simply tic tac toeing around us.


And then tonight just more nonsense.

Why would we beat Tampa a team that’s going right now. Now we might absolutely anyone can beat anyone
