NopeLargest 3rd period comeback in league history coming???
NopeLargest 3rd period comeback in league history coming???
I'm expecting to wake up to hearing we got another 3 injuriesWhat a stinker of a game for The Blues. I expect they'll come out angry next game, taking no prisoners.
I don't think that's going to happen this time.I was at a game once that Ottawa beat the Blues 7-1 and then like a week later they traded for Wayne Gretzky, it's true
This team is a couple more injures away from being a lottery team. Not liking the way this season has started.
Our 1st is currently at 13th, with another loss or two tacked on to the current two consecutive losses they could conceivably drop as low as 6th or 7th with other teams behind them winning a game or two. It's early but this team could start bottoming out quick without Thomas as they're already the 9th worst offense and it's going to get worse over the next couple months. We could easily be inside the top 10 for that time period and possibly even inside the top 6-7 picks. That's Logan Hensler/Charlie Trethewey territory brah, they're both big, skilled R shot RD and thinking about getting one of them gives me the warm fuzzies.

Why?
I agree with everyone. How dare Bannister assemble a roster with only 3 high-end players and only 2 Centers. Then how dare Bannister pay the other team to hurt the only player who is both in Thomas. How dare he?!?!?! He should be fired for that.
Not to mention Bannister obviously assembled a D core with no high end D, and the Bannister kicked one of the few top 4 D, Leddy, in the shin until he got an owwie and couldn't play. I don't want to ask what he did to hurt M.Joseph who was playing really well and had some chemistry.
But the Thomas, Leddy and Joseph injuries are obviously all Bannister's fault, as is the already shitty team we had entering the season when healthy. Boo that man, Boo!!!
The talent on this team is good enough to not look like garbage. That's on Bannister, not being able to prepare the team to start games on time is on Bannister, We've looked like shit since the win in Toronto and all I remember is Bannister going into the locker room after that game and saying yay guys we're off tomorrow! I mean it gives me weak ass Sheldon keef vibes. Let's dance and listen to music during practice to right?
I dont know how interested I am anymore in watching Schenn get undeserved ice time. Im not trying to place this game at his feet but I dont think he knows how to lead and his play on the ice is uninspiring
I think their real Captain is on IR
Undeserved? Who "deserves" the ice time more? No one really earned their ice time last night. If you really wanna point fingers then I'd say Kyrou (0 goals in 9 games, 3 pts in last 7) or Buch (2 pts in last 7) aren't earning their ice time either. Your best players have to lead the way on the ice and they aren't doing it right now. Yeah Schenn isn't playing well but not sure why our two highest-paid forwards are immune to criticism.
Tkachuk put on a pretty good show for his doubters last night. Guess anyone won't be questioning his leadership after that performance.
Yes his leadership and the direction of the Senators are clearly outlined by this game tonight and not the past 2-3 years of history.
I would agree none of our guys really earned anything tonight. Like that were more willing than we’ve been in the last 3 maybe more years to get involved in scrums and stick of for guys instead of avoiding the after whistle shenanigans. But yeah the play overall tonight was pretty bad up and down the lineup.
