GDT: GAME 23 | Senators Ride into the City of Angels | Sat Nov 30 2024, 7PM | SN1, TVAS

[Burrowsaurus]

I think Andlauer is part of the problem. Too nice a guy to make the ruthless decisions required in pro sports, unlike the Bruins or Vegas.

Hired his buddy instead of an NHL GM with experience.

Definitely part of the problem. Hires his buddy who hires his buddy who likes to play his buddies

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

lol this city is so f***ing soft on hockey players compared to the rest of the country, that it actually makes news when one person boos a core player.

Extremely soft. Boos should have rained down years ago and continued.

Hopefully I make the news next Saturday

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I love when my hockey coach’s signature is conditioning and fitness while getting dominated by tired teams weekly.

 

[Relapsing]

Shame is a powerful motivator and this team doesn't seem to be ashamed of anything anymore.

Rain them down.

The bright side is I don't think a coach or a GM fixes this quickly so it's not like there was a silver bullet we missed loading. It's a learning lesson for Andlauer and Staois. Better now than believing you'll succeed and you have something with this core group.

 

[Blotto71]

Yes to all. Gonna throw in Greig just for fun. I'd even bring along Gaudette. Guy's showing more heart than most at the moment.

WTF has Greig done to earn that endorsement? Empty net slapper aside, not f***in' much.

 

[Tuna99]

Watch out, Swiftwin might reply with some moronic shit

Rebuild is when brother turns on Brother.

We are still in our rebuild

Yes.

 

[Cosmix]

you can think it but you don't know that

Yes I don't know that. However, I have witnessed the coaching staff calling for players to change when the puck was not in the O zone. Some of it is on the coaching staff who are calling for changes in certain situations.

 

[ottawagm]

This is going to be a long haul, team is broken, and the prospects are awful.

We just need some cap space to add some more speed and skill to the middle of the lineup. We should have picked one of Amadio or Perron this summer and picked up another skill guy instead.

Jacques Martin team built on speed.

Rebuild with Speed

Ok, sure. Whatever.

for sure on the changes.

It is one way players cheat though... they'll take that last rush when they should change into the ozone hoping they can score and are too tired to back check and they want off
its selfish.

Green has a super slow team and the only way they can keep up is short shifts, but that’s not working, but he’s trying.

Team speed is our Achilles heel

The traffic was just awful. There's no recovering from LA traffic

 

[Cosmix]

I think that this reads like you are Andlauer, or that you think I am.

I know I am not, and I don't think you are either.

But I do agree, "best in class" MUST be more than a slogan.

No, no intent of that.

To get a positive out there, Stutzle looked great as usual. A treat to watch.

Major concern - Amadio. Not NHL calibre tonight; supposed to be playing like a capable a vet with a cup ring. No legs, bad decisions, no physicality, and bad body language.

D pairings were poorly configured. Understood the logic of ensuring one of 3/72/85 are always on the ice, but it didn't work. Will see if Baumgartner catches on and makes an adjustment.

They can play well. And they did most of the time first part of the season.

But when they’re done they’re done. And they are done. Every 50/50 battle is a loss. They don’t bear down on the puck. Soft. No f***ing speed. This core is not good enough to do the right play for most of a season.

 

[Cosmix]

for sure on the changes.

Yes I have seen some of that too. Similar to Spezza.

That adjustment should have come after last game it didn’t.

Also you’re giving them too much credit. They want and think they need hamonic on the ice if they don’t he simply would not play as much as he does.
