He’s been solid.

As Tom Barrasso said, “You want me to save the ones that aren’t going in too?”
It's a game of inches, this one could just as easily be 4-1 for us right now, we've gotten the chances, and for the most part, three posts, two very good short handed chances, a couple near misses,

I'm happy with how we played for the most part, didn't like the pass by Giroux though.

The first goal was tough but the second was a short side wrister from far out.

that's where all the goalscorers score as its the toughest for the goalie to save.above the pad below the blocker.

it was a perfect shot that bastian had all the time in the world to tee up. blaming goalie on that is not it.

blame giroux, blame tkachuk, batherson, team IQ. but Forsberg? cmon.

Forsberg sucks but, 1st goal against was a double deflection off Bernard Docker, second goal was on an Ottawa PP that had the first minute hemmed in our own zone.

Is it a goalie issue at this point?
Not completely. We have a 1st line problem IMO. almost every other team's 1st line outmatches ours; they always seem hemmed in their own zone.

The boys have skill but where's the intensity, the tenacity, and the ******* motor? Our top line guys do not move their feet.

First line hasn't looked great in any of the games so far. Might have to think about switching some players, Tkachuk and Giroux are not playing well.
Also, it's really frustrating how Stützle just becomes such a whiny brat when things are not going the team's way. Create some offense, work your magic, don't flop and look at the ref for 5 seconds ffs.

A lot of guys are showing sloppy play, low effort and looks slow and it's mostly veterans : Tkachuk, Giroux, Batherson, Perron( this guy invisible), Forsberg, Hamonic ( not his fault) and Chabot

Stutzle is the only forward who looks dangerous and looks like he is trying to create.

don't blame him for being frustrated.

this team is nothing without Stutzle and Sanderson.

you mean they are keeping us to floaters right? because this team is letting nj walk in and rip shots.

and what? a goalie is supposed to stop all the 2 on 1s and if he doesn't its his fault and not the teams for allowing the 2 on 1? it might as well have been a breakaway with how little Bastian was bothered.

you guys are only happy if a goalie is putting up a hasek performance.

because clearly this game forsberg has been the best senator. and he gets all the blame.
Sanderson has been the best Senator

I don't think Tkachuk has been the issue. He's doing his thing in the boards. The reality is Giroux is missing that jump. Can't be a first line with only two guys going every shift.

Brady gets paid 8m.

he gets paid to do a lot more than work the boards.

ditto for Chabot, Norris.

I don't really blame Forsberg for the first goal but that second goal has got to be saved. Too many instances of "can't blame the goalie". Sometimes you just gotta save the f***ing shot

again perfect shot with no pressure on the shooter. even Hamonic would be dangerous if he got a the opportunity for a shot like that.
