My lord what has happened to Sanderson

He got anchored by Hamonic and can't shake the stink. Zub, watching Hamonic with Sanderson, has Stockholm syndrome and now wants to play like Hamonic.

They've gone from being inconsistent to consistently bad.

 

[bashbros32]

Defense is fine, it's the forward group that sucks, despite having 5 elite/great/good forwards. The depth behind them is horrendous. I didn't like the move this offseason (outside of Ullmark), sucks to be right

Reality is the forward group isn't actually that good... we have 5 total 70 point + forward seasons... only 3 forwards have accomplished the feat, and 1 of them most likely never will again.

we have 2 first line forwards, 3 top 6 forwards... we are missing at least 1 top 6 forward, preferably 2... or, 1 more superstar...

I've said it before, are we going to continuously replace 1 or 2 top 6 spots with 35+ year old declining players? Where is the Giroux replacement? Where is the Antoine Vermette or JGP playing 3rd line minutes putting up 40+ points?

 

[Dionysus]

No offensive ability lately. Just can't score a goal when they need it.

Very disconnected offensively. Clearly thinking too much, nothing is flowing. Passes are are off. Nothing flows into the next step, just choppy plays that get turned around by the opposition with ease.

 

[senswon]

Man we feel sorry for ourselves.

Just keep doing the same things I guess and maybe it'll go in isn't a winning strategy.
Get back to your systems and coverage and win some effing battles.

All these platitudes from this team.
Win a shift
Win another shift


That's how you win games. Patience and consistent effort

 

[Micklebot]

Started the season at a Norris trophy winning pace, then Zub got injured and Greene Hamonic'ed him.

At some point you got to admit it has nothing to do with Hamonic, he's been back with Zub for 7 games now

 

[SensFactor]

If Pinto was productive we'd be fine, the guy has been ice cold.

Yup 100% but entire bottom six is awful

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I’m out. I’ll follow along but watching this shit on TV is such a waste of time.

I have the radio on in my earbuds as I do other shit and periodically check the laptop to watch but yeah, not worth dedicating hours of my night to this shit.

 

[DylanSensFan]

problem ain't the goalies

its that chabot, brady, norris, batherson all vanish in tight games.

Batherson has been fine, so has Norris and even Chabot. I am pissed at Sanderson currently, Tkachuk and even Stü. These guys need to get their heads out of their asses.

I am also tired of not seeing point shots from our D. Like what the f*** is with Sanderson and taking zero shots.

 

[Xspyrit]

Yea but how is Montreal doing with their rebuild?

You find it funny but a lot better than us, that's for sure. I mean it's their 2019-20 season in comparison and LMAO we have 3 more points in the last 101 last games both teams played (if we lose tonight). We're supposed to be 4 years ahead.

And not only that, look at the assets both teams started their rebuilds with. It makes it even more pathetic.

Imagine if Sabres and Wings weren't there to keep Ottawa company. Only reason Ottawa is not THE laughing stock of the league.

Still holding hope that they turn it around but it's not trending well.

Not sure why some of you have this fascination with me using them as a barometer. It's the same thing with A LOT of Sens fans always comparing with the Leafs even though they are in another stratosphere in terms of results. Quite stupid to be honest.

 

[OUT HOUSE]

That guy needs a new cat

 

[PlayOn]

Will they score?

Yes when Vegas goes up 3-0 and there are 2 minutes left in the game

 

[senswon]

Yes when Vegas goes up 3-0 and there are 2 minutes left in the game

Pull the goalie half way through the 3rd

 

[Laphroaig]

I'm thinking that D.J. Smith never was the problem.

 

[BankStreetParade]

They should be desperate to begin with in this game. They come out for the 2nd period already down 1-0 and they manage 5 shots on goal against a team that's on the second night of back to back and on the road. f*** me. What the f*** is the actual gameplan?

 

[bashbros32]

Pull the goalie half way through the 3rd

We uhh... notably this evening had a man advantage and made such a terrible giveaway it nearly resulted in a breakaway against... I think I'm good on pulling the goalie tonight lol, unless down by one.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Greig needs to go to Belleville. He’s very Curtis Lazar right now.

Bring Osty up and put Gaudette in the top 6 before he comes sizzling back to Earth.

 

[Relapsing]

So I've been playing Dayz on this really quiet PVE server and finally got a car up and running. It's so relaxing, just driving around, finding cool stuff, making little bases for myself.

If anyone wants a taxi ride, hit me up!

 

[Big Muddy]

Yes when Vegas goes up 3-0 and there are 2 minutes left in the game

Samsanov has been stout & VGK is likely good a closing out games.

Hopefully I just made a reverse jinx. LOL.

 

[bashbros32]

I'm thinking that D.J. Smith never was the problem.

I mean, a lot of nights, and lineup decisions, it almost feels like we traded D.J. Smith for D.J. Smith Promax or something.

I have the stream on mute, but "What have we learned so far?"

Nothing has changed, next question.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm thinking that D.J. Smith never was the problem.

DJ is 100% the problem. He was responsible with forming this team’s culture from the get-go and he did it with no structure and letting them play shinny for 6 years.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Very disconnected offensively. Clearly thinking too much, nothing is flowing. Passes are are off. Nothing flows into the next step, just choppy plays that get turned around by the opposition with ease.

Too many passes and not enough shots to the net. They need to f***ing simplify. This isn't junior hockey anymore. I am tired of saying this season after season. Shoot and crash.

 

[OD99]

Greig needs to go to Belleville. He’s very Curtis Lazar right now.

Bring Osty up and put Gaudette in the top 6 before he comes sizzling back to Earth.

Yes. I think going down and playing with the puck on his stick would be great for him.

He just doesn't have it right now. Neither does Pinto.

Nobody seems to have any jump other than Stu.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Yea guys do realize asking these players to play "desperate" in facts makes them play much worse? I believe that's the problem here.

 

[Blotto71]

Bag skate. Every day. Until they win. Make em puke
