GDT: GAME 16 | Philly Flies into O-town | Thu Nov 14 2024, 7PM | TSN5, RDS2

[Tuna99]

Linus is still a top goalie though, right now he's inconsistent but Ullmark is still a top goaltender

Top goalies have full seasons where they are terrible in this modern NHL

 

[Alex1234]

He played poorly tonight, no doubt.

Two odd-man rushes against for the 3rd and 4th goal though. Can't have those breakdowns back to back late in the 3rd with a lead.

Obviously want a save. Still put themselves in really bad situations there though.

.737 is never going to cut it no matter what

 

[KingAlfie11]

Well Linus is our goaltender boys so he better figure things out quick, he's our man that's it

 

[swiftwin]

Touché, I guess add in losing to the requirements. Not just the shot total that is crazy, but that 3 of 4 goals were stoppable. Two goals a Junior B goalie should stop.

 

[Knave]

I think we can all agree everyone including fan favorites like Anderson had ~0.700 save percentages games where they suck really badly.

But we lost a point tonight because of Ullmark and we're paying him $8 million. And so far there's not a game where I've felt he's gotten us a point we did not deserve. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

It's still early days but I'm going to bitch and moan tonight and when he steals us a point or two I'll lay off the criticism.

 

[BondraTime]

Chabot-Jensen is the top pair, they are doing all the heavy lifting on the backend.

Sanderson is our best player, but he’s been extremely poor for the past 10.

He needs to get his head back in the game.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

He'll blame himself in the post game again but it's meaningless when he can't win us a game like this. All vibes, no saves.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Well Linus is our goaltender boys so he better figure things out quick, he's our man that's it

Forsberg can play until he gets his shit together.

 

[SpezDispenser]

On a positive note, we played really, really well again. Team is coming together.

Not gonna lie though, not feeling amadio and mcgregor on pinto's wings. They'll have to produce some points

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Is he? Consistency is kind of a part of being a top goalie. You think Craig Anderson would give his team a game like that?

Anderson was really underappreciated while he was here.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

.737 is never going to cut it no matter what

It's f***ing insane that people expect a team not to have any breakdowns at all. Bobrovsky and Skinner made so many important saves off of defensive breakdowns in the playoffs last year.

The average NHL goalie on an average night playing for the Sens tonight wouldn't have allowed more than a goal tonight.

 

[CornerStone61]

I'd hate to be Ullmark walking back to the locker room though, hell of a walk of shame.

He was absolutely brutal tonight but I still have confidence he can be a good goaltender for us overall. Tonight he definitely wasn't delivering on his contract though

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Yes his is lol.

And Chychrun was a stud top 4 dman before he came to Ottawa.

It doesn't mean anything until you do it in a Sens jersey. So far Ullmark hasn't done a thing to show he's a top goalie, still waiting on this guy to arrive. Good at times sure. But top goalie? Yet to see that.

 

[OUT HOUSE]

Even the post game show isn’t making excuses

 

[BondraTime]

That 3rd line desperately needs Perron/Grieg back there. Gregor can’t cut it on a 3rd line.

 

[Mr Hat]

Linus is still a top goalie though, right now he's inconsistent but Ullmark is still a top goaltender

According to his save percentage and win percentage he is a below average backup.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Chabot-Jensen is the top pair, they are doing all the heavy lifting on the backend.

Sanderson is our best player, but he’s been extremely poor for the past 10.

He needs to get his head back in the game.

Do they dare switch the pairings to get him going? Chabot-Zub and Sandy-Jenny

Yet to see it, yes, but his track record is way more impressive than Chycrun's was.

He'll figure it out.

 

[CornerStone61]

According to his save percentage and win percentage he is a below average backup.

This season, sure. His entire body of work suggests otherwise though. Dude needs to wake up though for sure.

 

[darude]

Ullmark has MAJOR rebound control issues...that's not just tonight. It's been like that all season. Goalies can have a off night but that last goal was so FUGLY

Tonight two of them just went through him, including the game winner. No rebounds needed.

 

[Dionysus]

Yes we allowed a 2-on-1 at a terrible time. Big deal, we allowed basically nothing for the 50 minutes before that. Is that not enough for the goalie? Does he want the impossible accomplishment of having a team having 0 breakdowns all game? That team doesn't exist so good luck.

It's the two odd man rushes in short order.

Linus played a terrible game, that's a given. I'm not arguing that. They needed one more save from him.

The teams game management and execution at critical times is still an issue. Something that hopefully crops up less and less as they become more consistent. For now, it's still something that happens too often.

Could have easily potted a few goals earlier in the game and not put themselves in the position of having a slim lead over a team that has been clutch in 3rd periods lately.

I don't remember Anderson having any games like that. He'd give up a bad goal here and there like any goalie, but actively blowing a game that the team dominated? I can't recall him ever doing that.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

On a positive note, we played really, really well again. Team is coming together.

I think these types of games are deflating. They bust their asses only to have one of the highest paid guys on the team lose it for them multiple times already. I'm expecting a weaker performance next game.

 

[CornerStone61]

To bring some positives into this thread, I thought Stutzle played amazing tonight. He was everywhere.

The other goalie had a stellar performance despite letting in four goals.

Between that and Ullmark shitting the bed, there is nothing else worth analyzing.
