I think he means that Ottawa is home to the largest number of fans of other (Non-Ottawa teams. Ever notice that when we play another Canadian team the arena is like 50/50? I heard multiple loud "Lets go Oilers" chants in my section, let alone throughout the arena. Sens fans are timid and love to sit on their hands or stare at their phones instead of being actively engaged. I have no clue why people even go to games when it's quieter than a library half the time.
You can't ask a question without saying anything. I was referring to what you said in your question, obviously.
It was Cousins who identified too late that Norris was already covering 97 and spun around
Chabot got flat out beat, it's a teachable moment, take the body, shit happens. Cousins though is inexcusable. He flat out didn't do his job and looked lost. No clue what he's doing out there with Norris and Greig, but he needs to come out of the lineup when Gregor is healthy. I thought he was going to be a good addition, and while the 4th line has been a pleasant surprise, he just hasn't been the pest he is supposed to be.
I think a major problem last night was the Hamonic/Klevin pairing caused the least of our issues…. This is eye test only and I didn’t check playing time or matchups but when your depth pairing becomes noticeably better than the top 4 D then you are probably having issues. I would like to see JDB back in for a game to change something up if nothing else. Hamonic could come out to watch a couple but so could Klevin or Zub.
Hamonic and Kleven were split up for most of the game. From about two shifts into the second period on it was Jensen with Kleven, and Chabot with Hamonic.
Jensen didn't get hurt until late in the 2nd, so unlikely as the change happened about 15 mins earlier.
Ah. I also didn't realize the pairings were being shifted before Jensen had been hurt. Not sure what's up with those changes.
Well, I think Chabot got beat on two goals, so they wanted to get him away from the top 6? idk.
Maybe. At least Chabot recognized and acknowledged in the post game comments that he sucked pretty badly. He has generally been better than last year so far so hopefully he can rebound next game.
I don't know but Samsonov will probably be trying to get back at Ullmark for those comments in the summer. Important game for Sammy.
I just looked it up and Dorofeyev actually leads VGK in goals so far with 9. Eichel only 5 goals but 23 assists...... My bet is on rookie Cole Schwindt to score his first ever.
