GDT: GAME 24 | Sens @ Ducks | Just #%*&#* Win | Sun Dec 1 2024, 8PM | TSN5, RDS

[OUT HOUSE]

Can’t wait to watch this team lose and drop to 30th place in front of our most prolific line is Sens history on Thursday

 

[PlayOn]

Ullmark was good again, seems to have found his game which we need. Pinto showed some signs of life. We got a goal from the third line. They kept fighting when they’d go down by one and had a great third period. All good things.

The narrative is what it is because of the 5 game losing streak but 2-1-1 in our last 4 is a start.

We need Sanderson to snap out of his funk if we are going to string together wins anytime soon.

Will Staois make a move?

Move Hamonic to the 2nd pairing, Gregor to the 3rd line. That’s should fix it

Will Staois make a move?

I'm not even sure who's out there to get? Making a move for the sake of it is what got us the Summer of Pierre bullshit. Giroux and Jensen are the only good acquisitions the team has made in recent years (Jury's still out on Ullmark).

Who you gonna trade? And are you prepared to watch them go win a cup with another team?

Will Staois make a move?

Don’t rush him he’s evaluating. He needs to see what he has in Travis Hamonic.

Our D-core is still suspect. We need a stabilizer in the 4-6 spot. Petersson from Pens?

People seem to love that Tkachuk throws up shots. There's a reason the Ducks didn't even bother covering him tight on their penalty kill.

Charles Barkley had a quote for basketball recently when praising Tim Duncan - he referenced other players putting up number as "good players putting up great numbers on bad teams". The quote is an accurate description of a couple players on this team. As long as Brady Tkachuk looks great this team won't be succeeding.

Once Brady has two goals in a game we can forget about him passing the puck. He'll shoot everything trying for the hatty.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

If you told me we’d be 2-1 on this California trip I would have been kinda dissapointed. Luckily we couldn’t even get that.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

It's really wild because there was a stretch in October where they were playing legitimately good hockey and I thought to myself, "this is it, they've finally put it together."

What's that saying? "Fool me once, Shame on you, Fool me seven times, Shame on me"?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Don’t rush him he’s evaluating. He needs to see what he has in Travis Hamonic.

Just like he kept DJ on too long even though like 99% of the fanbase knew he was a lame duck with no future in Ottawa. Guy is too patient for his own good.

3 out of 6 points on the road trip is not great, not terrible. But we're threading water. We need to string more wins together.

 

[SensFactor]

Pinto has 3 pts in 15 games and -7 this season

In what sense of the word? Boston won tonight. We lost in OT. They opened up their gap further.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

So not only do we suck 5v5, we also suck on special teams.

Well on our way to a top-5 draft pick.

Our D-core is still suspect. We need a stabilizer in the 4-6 spot. Petersson from Pens?

As of now we cannot count on zub to be healthy. We need an offensive threat in the top 4.

It’s terrible considering the teams we played

 

[PlayOn]

Now is basically the time. We’ve got a 4 game home stand and we play NYI and Detroit, two teams were chasing. We basically have to try and get all 4 wins here, especially with a tough stretch at the end of the month.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It’s terrible considering our season is on the line and we couldn’t beat the Ducks and we got absolutely dominated by the Sharks in the win. LA also played 3 games in 4 nights and dummied us in the crucial 3rd period.

There’s cope and silver linings available for every single loss if you look hard enough. Thing is, our 5 on 5 play has been declining for 3 weeks now and we haven’t outright looked better than our opponent since the Philly game. Those Boston and Toronto games are ancient history now.

Defend away.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It’s terrible considering the teams we played

Not to mention how horrible we looked in our only win against SJ.

There's almost nothing positive to take away from this road trip.

 

[Wondercarrot]

If only Brady had done more

 

[PlayOn]

It’s terrible considering the teams we played

They are points we wouldn’t have gotten last year. We are downright bad against Western conference teams on the road, we actually surpassed our wins from all last season already lol

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

It was a winnable game. That's the most frustrating part.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Bills win in the snow. Was a good night.

 

[Alex1234]

3-5-2 in their last 10
So 8 points out of 20
.400
They are what they are at this point

Jesus that’s sad lol
