GDT: GAME 47 | Sens @ Rangers | Leevi Takes Manhattan Edition | Tue Jan 21 2025, 7PM | TSN5, RDS2

[StoicSensFan]

Habs are passing us tonight.

They can't? Best they can do is tie us but we have the higher RW

 

[Cosmix]

Despite playing so poorly, this is still very winnable. The Rangers aren't looking very good either.


We've been in a playoff spot for a while now.

I don't think the Sens are going to win this game even though in theory it should be "winnable". The Sens screwed this game up; probably by getting wasted last evening. Still young and reckless; not experienced and battle-hardened to know what they have to sacrifice to be a SC contender.

 

[Anth]

Any idea what it is?

He fell in the 1st period scratching his chin, they said he is out for pro-cation reasons.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

This team desperately need a top 6 forward that can play with Timmy...Giroux looks like his is 47 out there at times

This 100%. Giroux just isn't top-6 material anymore. Desperately need one real top forward if we want to keep up with the other playoff contenders.

 

[Boud]

I wouldn't go that far. They played a hell of a game on Sunday despite already getting a WC spot. This just seems like one of those games where no one is feeling the puck.

I get it but this effort is unnacceptable when you are fighting to make the playoffs for the first time in 8 years or whatever how long it’s been.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Woop

They can't? Best they can do is tie us but we have the higher RW

Woops, thought they were a point behind.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Jake Sanderson and Gord Miller sounded as enthusiastic for that interview as an arranged Indian marriage

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Can't disagree with this at all, but I'm not going to sit here and panic about where they're heading based on one bad game in their last 7. We'll see if they show up on Thursday.

It’s not like they didn’t have three golden oppurtunities to shoot the puck when it was only 0-0.

 

[DrEasy]

That stupid commercial with the kid playing basketball on the street. She threw her trash into someone else's blue bin. That's a big no no.

That's what Larry David said.

edit: sorry, it's the opposite! That's what Larry David has also been guilty of!

 

[ottawagm]

Don't give them a day off in NYC ever again. Make them stay in a hotel in the middle of nowhere.

Also, I think we need to practice. Our PP and 5-5 scoring has been terrible for weeks now.

Signs that this team is better.

 

[SensFactor]

I can accept losses but the Rangers havent done anything special either..they are doing one thing better than us...actually shooting the puck and not passing on good chances

 

[Gil Gunderson]

How many more times do I need to watch this team do some razzle dazzle shit on a rush only to skate behind the net and lose the puck right after?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Blame that on our scheduling. Don't think they'll get much in the way of practices until the 4 Nations break.

 

[swiftwin]

The Senators are letting the Rangers have this. Just really terrible play in all zones by our team. No jump, no drive, no interest in the puck.

I agree.

I just disagree with the narrative that they play poorly because they're in a playoff position.

 

[Cosmix]

On the PP, the team seem to be doing only a few planned plays. The other teams know what they are going to do and defending against it quite well. We need to change it up. Come on PP Coach! Fix this PP.

 

[SensFactor]

Worst case scenario we lose outright and Detroit/Philly and Tb/Mtl both become 3pt games...both games are tied going into the 3rd period

 

[L'Aveuglette]

That Bell commercial is killing me. That lady's overacting makes me cringe every time, and that's a lot considering they f***ing air it twice per ad break.

 

[Cosmix]

Will there be many practice days then; I thought that it was restricted to only a few.

Yes, it's time for Bell to change it; spend some creative dollars.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Meh our biggest problem right now is we always try to set up Tkachuk on the PP or 5vs5 . The guys shot a lot with bad result gotta humble him and tell him to pass more or just not play through him.(9.9%sh% with 182 shots).

He has the double of shots compared to Stutzle , Norris and Batherson they all should be the better option and have better /more precise hotthat's a thing we have to fix by coaching staff

Same for Chabot guys has 3% sh% with 99 shots

Amadio is another guy with very low sh% but he played way less minutes

Heck Gaudette has the best shot this year with less opportunities

 

[milkbag]

Have seen timmy circle the zone so much lately

Stutzle loop?
Timmy Wwhippp?
German Whoopie?
Formula Stu?

Should make it one word to honour his native language. I propose "Uselessnonshootenscheisse"

 

[Cosmix]

Intermission: NYR talking with Vancouver re: JT Miller.

 

[Ouroboros]

Really missing a game breaker like Lane Hutson on a night like this.

 

[PlayOn]

Sometimes you just don’t have your legs but man this team is hard to watch on nights like this. They generate absolutely nothing. Gotta find ways to at least create something even on an off night.
