Low Effort GDT Game 4 | Why has God forsaken us! - Sens vs Devils - 7PM EST on TSN

[NyQuil]

NJ played a solid road game.

Markstrom weathered the storm, they got the lead and they held it.

Seemingly happened a lot last year too.

We have to be harder to beat at home.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Both are fast paced and result driven, I thought it was vaguely similar. Tonight sure, but that was legit DJ Smith's main defence. Any time we lost it was "aw man, bad bounces". I'm just tired of hearing it

Then get out there man. Make your own luck.

I shit on this team all the time. When I think it’s deserved. Hard to when we play well we hit 4 posts the other team gets a couple lucky bounces and their goalie came up with big saves

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Didn’t get the bounces

yup 7 years straight of it. damn bounces.

 

[Dionysus]

Disappointing result. Thought they played well. Couldn't buy a goal. Have to work harder to get to the net and get open for shots.

Couple lapses defensively as well. For the most part they were solid. New Jersey capitalized, special teams loss.

 

[BankStreetParade]

This team has no identity AND I can't figure out what identity they're trying to build.

 

[milkbag]

This is a fresh season, we have new coach and half the roster is different. This is the first game of the season where we were the better team and lost. Nobody cares about your emotional past.

Emotional past lol coming from the guy who will still come out and faithfully fellate Pierre any time he's mentioned.

All I'm saying is that with the core group of guys that we've had, even under a new coach, the whole "bad bounces, we'll get em next time!" sophomoric attitude is really getting old. This team needs to nut the f*** up and make their own luck if we want to sniff the post season.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

you think the two wins were the result of good play?

One was Ullmark stealing it, the other was a shitshow where we got luckier than the other team.

Like every year before this, it's not the record you have to focus on, it's their play, and it hasn't been playoff-contender level at all.

If you think the kings game was just luck. Then I dono. We clearly were the better team. By far the better team.

Just like we were tonight for stretches.

Game 4. No idea what this team is.
We're not a defensive team
We're not a fast team
We're not a creative team
We're not a bruising team


Who are we?

Come on, everybody knows we are a team

 

[Burrowsaurus]

the same team as last year.

With forsberg and Sogaard in net yea they are

 

[Tuna99]

yup 7 years straight of it. damn bounces.

Claire Hannah best part of this game

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

zack mcewan was our most dangerous forward but the team had a good game?

lol

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Can't win when you're only playing hard for 20-25 minutes or so. It's a 60 minute game.

 

[swiftwin]

Lmfaorofl yes he did.

Dominating one period out of three doesn't mean shit.

False.

 

[Blotto71]

Markstrom is 6'6", he's what Sogaard needs to be.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

False.

we get it hockey is too fast for you to follow, so you have to rely on these.

Our play, record and advanced metrics all indicate the same thing: we’re solidly average.

If things keep up as they are, we’ll finish anywhere from 15th-17th in the league. Right in the mix for a wildcard.

That’s pretty much what I expected, to be honest.

 

[The Waffler]

Hate to be a negative Nancy butttt…

That was not a very enjoyable game, there I said it.

What are you even talking about? Who on the team has said that?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Disappointing result. Thought they played well. Couldn't buy a goal. Have to work harder to get to the net and get open for shots.

Couple lapses defensively as well. For the most part they were solid. New Jersey capitalized, special teams loss.

Think it was part of New Jerseys defensive plan to let our players own their crease and get sticks on pucks and tip them past their goalie?

Or to leave kleven wide open for a shot after a rebound that maelstrom had to make a big save on. Of course not. New Jersey had breakdowns. Just like we did. Just like other teams do. Just have to stick with it. Goals start going in. We start getting saves. And we have a solid season on our hands

 

[swiftwin]

Got it. "muh feelings" are more important than fact.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

What kind of graphic is that ? I hope the Sens don’t use shit like that anyone who watched the game would clearly see that FLA out played us for 2 periods and if it wasn’t for Ullmark, we’d lose by multiple goals probably lol

Game 4. No idea what this team is.
We're not a defensive team
We're not a fast team
We're not a creative team
We're not a bruising team


Who are we?

All the pundits have been saying for years the team should be built around Brady... but we have more "skill" guys from what I see...

Stutzle - Skill
Giroux - Skill/Defensive skill (I don't really see him as all that tough)
Norris - Skill
Batherson - Skill
Pinto - Skill/Defensive skill

then for grit and guts you have... Brady on line 1... Greig who is injured, and MacEwen on the 4th line...

Gregor is speedy and doesn't play that heavy... Amadio is solid but doesn't play a particularly heavy game... Perron has just been invisible since he got here... Cousins has so far NOT played to his own self-proclaimed shit-disturber role... Gaudette is an AHL goal-scorer... again, skill not grit.

We also seem to have a (Better) lunch-pail coach... We just watched a team play a 6v4 powerplay for 2 full minutes and somehow they couldn't find a shooting lane, and like 50% of the passes were interrupted... HOW THE ACTUAL F!?

 

[StutzlingAway]

Markstrom is 6'6", he's what Sogaard needs to be.

That's the only thing they have in common aside from being goalies unfortunately

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

To be fair you can't expect a player to go 100 all the time and Brady usually for the most part is a bull in a China shop. He's got 4 hits tonight.

Where is Perron or Cousins? Weren't they brought in to be shit disturbers?

But Brady has done it before, he did it last game against LA, he was crashing the net like a mad man and bullying dmen in the corners. Then tonight against NJ he's hovering around waiting for the play to develop around him.

I almost wonder if it'd be better to take him off Timmy's line. Stützle might be a bit too chaotic for a guy like Tkachuk who should really stick to a simple game.

Perron and Cousins I'm not too concerned, they were brought in to be supporting players. Perron needs to be a bit better, but Cousins is on a league min, I'm not expecting much from him.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Got it. "muh feelings" are more important than fact.

those aren't facts dude.
