GDT: GAME 25 | Red Wings vs Senators | In Pizza We Trust | Thu Dec 5 2024, 7PM | TSN5, RDSI

[SpezDispenser]

Also, Detroit is my absolute least favourite team in the league. Almost exclusively because of their dickhead fans - who make Toronto fans look like geniuses.

 

[Senscore]

Yep and you have many posters here that thought Yzerman was the second coming of Christ! Lol

As fundamentally flawed as their rebuild is, it was incredibly annoying seeing them go on that late season run while this supposedly more talented team can't string 3 wins together

 

[Micklebot]

Wow, we barely played the 4th line at all, 5-6 mins each (5v5), which is odd because I found Ostapchuk noticable

 

[Alex1234]

Ullmark low key solid performance with a .950

Preds and NYI are "winnable" games
For what it's worth with this team but probably the easiest 3 games of the season on paper
(make it 4 with Anaheim if you will)

 

[SensFactor]

We need to find a vet RD to play with Kleven..no more Hamonic and JBD

Can we focus on a RD to play with Sandy first, playing him with Hamonic is criminal

 

[Relapsing]

3-1-1 in our last 5. The haters can go f*** themselves.

Yeah, all the haters that hate how we're still in the bottom half of the league are idiots.

Theyre the wrong ones for not solely paying attention to 1/4 of our seasons record. Morons. Morons!

 

[Relapsing]

I wonder if the pizza line got into the dressing room before the game for a little motivational speech. What might they have said?

Stop sucking so much.

You guys play like ass when you give up the first goal. Don't do that.

We're all old as f*** and we could still outskate you bums.

You should be ashamed to use sit in the same stall that I did

50 in 07, bitches.

Whatever they did or didn't say.... Glad the guys figured out how to win the game.

Please sir, can I have some more?

29th place coming into tonight. F the haters lol.

Nobody talks like that to 50in25 Gaudette

 

[Icelevel]

Gaudette should never have been taken off the top-6. Greig literally neutralizes every play he's involved in.

WEW NORRIS!

Was going to post this.
It’s about time chuk norris bathtime was reunited but why split up stutzle gaudette??

Stupid

One of the top goal scorers/60 and you have him buried on the fourth line.
He played 8mins tonight and we needed a goal badly. Could have easily lost that one.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Glad that little turd got a minus on the GWG.

Debrincat didn't do anything wrong to us, Dorion's the one to blame for trading for him without discussing whether he would re-sign in Ottawa.

Not signing wasn’t his fault.

Not giving full effort during his time here (which he openly admitted to) is definitely something he did wrong.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Back from the game. Glad to get the win. Energy in the building during the third was grim; people were quite miffed at the refs.

Also, was surprised they gave Tyler Motte a 'welcome back' on the Jumbotron and not, y'know, Tarasenko.

Genius. Why didn't Travis Green think of that.

 

[Relapsing]

Genius. Why didn't Travis Green think of that.

Sure, just skip over every other idea I had. Always cherry picking, huh?

Same vibe in my living room...

 

[PlayOn]

Stating the obvious here, but Norris and Batherson were so good tonight.

Ullmark seems to have found his groove.

Another game with no secondary scoring… this is a major concern. Might be able to survive this home stand with minimal contributions, but we’re gonna be screwed during the Western road trip if some of these guys don’t start putting pucks in the net.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Not signing wasn’t his fault.

Exactly. The guy acted like he never wanted to be here at all (he probably didn't), but he pretty much gave no effort whatsoever, and then flat out admitted he was lazy with Ottawa. We were in the middle of a playoff push, and that loser thought it was acceptable to be lazy.

He also clearly hated Canada and didn't even attempt to say anything nice about it. Just a shit attitude all around.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well sick snipe. Now do it again and again and again

 

[Burrowsaurus]

The new lines hindered stutzle and still don’t help pinto.

I don't really care at this point, but he sure did seem pretty pouty for a dude hauling in like 6+ mil a season at the time.

Get out

 

[darude]

Happy with the win.

It's clear the offense still needs some work --these guys dominate play quite a bit but seem unable to convert that into goals reliably. I'd prefer 3-4 goals per game consistently instead of 1-2 and the odd game with 7.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

People have different temperaments. Same with athletes. If Mark Borowiecki was as skilled as Alex Debrincat, he'd have as many goals as Ovechkin. If Alex Debrincat was as skilled as Mark Borowiecki, his career would have peaked in house league. Such is life.

You can't teach someone to want to push themselves. You can incentivize it to an extent. But people are mostly born with it.

 

[Ouroboros]

The new lines hindered stutzle and still don’t help pinto.

There just aren't enough players to arrange the lines in a fashion that creates any scoring depth. Giroux's decline has really hurt the viability of even having two scoring lines. Then add in Pinto's struggles.

Lots of teams have a complementary guy or two who can play higher up the lineup than they normally should, just strictly based on talent. That's what Mike Amadio was for Vegas - he wasn't really used as a 'bottom-6' forward the way the Senators have tried to utilize him. Mostly he played as support for Smith/Karlsson or Stephenson/Stone and that's where the majority of his scoring came from. I don't know exactly what Staios had in mind when he signed this guy, but I think we're seeing that it's probably not going to work as a traditional depth forward.

They tried Greig up the lineup and that didn't work. Then in a fit of desperation they tried Gaudette but that was never going to last, for obvious reasons. If he were ever available, Perron probably would have gotten a spin up there too.

Just seems like no matter how you cook it up, somebody who isn't capable of carrying a line is being asked to do it.
