GDT: Florida Panthers at Ottawa Senators - 2PM - TSN5/RDS - Kitty Kats Katerwauling in Kanata - Ain't No Tkachuks Edition

[Rodzilla]

I really like Hutson, he reminds me of Erik Karlsson stylistically.

I see Sanderson as more of a Scott Niedermayer type.

I think there's always going to be a debate about which is more effective and I think the team circumstances factor in quite a bit.

In any event, the league has a lot of very exciting young D who are fun to watch.

Oh Hutson is insane

But man you’d have a hard time telling me you’d pick Hutson shutting down top lines on the other team in a cup run.

I really like your comparisons

 

[Puikiou]

Boy, watching Chabot in the playoffs is going to be something.

 

[Cosmix]

So it's now OK for Florida to knock our D into our goaltender who has the puck covered! Refs blind!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Chabot stares down a senator down ice for a solid 4 seconds and puts it right on panthers stick.

Does help that Stutzle sent him a. 5 foot high saucer pass that he had to control

 

[aragorn]

What did he say? I must have typing.

He explained how much better the Sens are defensively with those two as a shutdown tandem basically & I would add have really helped reduce goals against which is the reason this team is in the playoffs as opposed to last season when we were letting in all kinds of goals. Improving goaltending has always contributed to that with the acquisition of Ullmark.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Boy, watching Chabot in the playoffs is going to be something.

He will be traded shortly after our playoffs are over if we make it

 

[Senscore]

Sens are looking kinda shitty right now.

7 shots. Not good enough.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

What a moron for going five hole right @Burrowsaurus

* no goals in 25 games now you know why

 

[Cosmix]

Florida is hitting and hustling. Our guys are not hustling like they did in the first period.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Meh, they've been easy shots to stop except for that breakaway on the PP.

Edit: Meant that Florida's shots haven't been too threatening.

I think there's sort of individual "what is your risk tolerance" with respect to how much you value their respective styles of play.

I think Sanderson still has another gear to find offensively, but I also think Hutson will improve defensively. He's just a rookie.

Jake will have to be able to compete offensively with the likes of Hughes, Makar and Hutson (in his prime) to get serious consideration for hardware. I'm curious to see how he develops.

I bet coaches probably like Jake Sanderson more, because he probably results in fewer heart palpitations.

 

[Cosmix]

Tripping on Zub.. Blind refs!

If they can call a slide a trip they can call a stick trip too!

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

I think Sanderson is a much better skater than Karlsson

 

[Burrowsaurus]

This all starts bezcaysr we have the puck and Sanderson can’t hit a pass 20 feet away.

We need one elite passer back there to clean a lot of this up

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Disagree. His stride looks nicer but EK was the smoothest skater I've ever seen.

That breakaway was something that they should have not allowed.

Amadio missed his pass lol

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

Erik Karlssons pivots were nightmare fuel and he can't cut corners like Sanderson does.

Overall I'd give the edge to Sanderson

 

[Big Muddy]

That last PP the Senators had was dismal. Zero shots and a 2 on 0 breakaway on Forsberg. I think 2 Senators collided at the o-zone blueline creating the opportunity. Glad Forsberg made the save.

 

[DylanSensFan]

HE definitely covers more ice with less strides.

 

[Cosmix]

f***! Another breakaway!

 

[Alex1234]

Biiiiig save

 

[Relapsing]

Forsberg with another wild save!

 

[NyQuil]

Maybe take a time out or something?

 

[thinkwild]

forsy saved that? wow nice
