GDT: GAME 1 | PANTHERS VS SENATORS | THE ULLMARK ERA BEGINS | Thu Oct 10, 2024, 7PM

[Cosmix]

Tkachuk fails to get it out, again to end that period. I know our defense didn't box out on the goal but holy shit our forwards need to win some battles.

Lots of coaching still required. Hopefully Green has seen this too.

Amadio plays soft! Not my kind of player.

That's all folks for the first 2 periods.

 

[Alex1234]

19/10 Nick Paul is in town fyi

 

[Speatleysson]

Sloppy period, too many battles lost. They'll right the ship for the 3rd period .

 

[Cosmix]

Time for visit to the little room and then the kitchen.

 

[inthewings]

Anyone else just have an existential crisis at the mention of Kulikov playing in his 16th NHL season?

 

[2CHAINZ]

People at the arena wearing jerseys of teams not playing in the game should be publicly shamed.

They already started to look better at the end of the second.

Not me. I remember watching the Leafs with Dave Keon.

 

[aragorn]

Sens hold off the Stanley Cup Champs in that 2nd period as they make a big push. They need to get back to attacking the Panthers in the 3rd & be much more aggressive all over the ice. So far so good.

I turned 40 in January

I am basically dead

 

[Icelevel]

Damn


Dean and Gord would have to stop giggling with each other for a few seconds to make that happen.

Your expectations are too high my friend

That reminds me of the dean ‘2 minutes with’ cousins before the game. Absolutely horrible. Gotta clean that crap up if we’re going best in class.

 

[Micklebot]

You can just

look at the stands, clearly there are empty seats.

Official attendance is 19,436. Could be they were getting beer during the ceremony?

 

[Psycroptic86]

Florida took it to the next gear that period, Ottawa didn’t. The boys need to start moving their feet again.

 

[Knave]

I think people really misunderstand how often the lower bowl is people out getting a meal or beers or maybe buying the seat and not showing up.

I watched the Montreal-Toronto game yesterday and for the first 5 minutes of period the lower bowl was half empty. And even by the middle of the period there were still a visible number of empty seats.

If Ottawa didn't sell out, they didn't sell out but I wouldn't trust the view of the lower bowl.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

They got outplayed but nice they didn't break even when bent.

But it will only matter if they bounce back and close it out.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Panthers are really good on the forecheck.. they give you very little time and space, they have really good sticks and win puck battles.

Sens have to pick it up in the 3rd.

I've liked Kleven's game. We need a better partner for him and we need a 4C with more size and speed

 

[Bileur]

Fourth line hasn’t been impressive. I think it was a mistake to send down Jenik.

 

[Speatleysson]

Lmao what the hell band is that playing during the intermission? Is that steel panther?

I haven't seen the whole game because I had to pick my son up from school. How is Hamonic playing?

 

[DackellDuck]

Fourth line hasn’t been impressive. I think it was a mistake to send down Jenik.

I think they need Ostapchuk’s size down the middle. I expect him to be back around the 15-20 game mark.

Gaudette hasn’t had the best game, but I get it’ll take him time to play a role that’s new to him. Let’s see if he can figure it out.

Cousins has been good, Gregor plays a bit soft for my taste.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

like we could do better

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

Haven't really noticed him, which I'd say is a good thing!

 

[Knave]

In terms of the game - strong first, weak second but our defense did a reasonably good job keeping stuff to outside.

I think our fourth line in particular struggled and the Norris line struggled as well but he seems to be going head to head with Barkov so... as long as they keep stuff to the outside I'm not too concerned. And maybe with more games Norris will ease in and do better against top lines if this is the plan.

I thought hamonics been stronger last two periods.

Our breakouts seem to be an issue again after Martin looked like he cleaned them up.

 

[inthewings]

Team is up 2-1 on the defending champs in game one of a season with more optimism than we've seen in many years and Bruce is on TV fear-mongering about the cap situation two years from now.
