GDT: GAME 49 | Blue Jackets @ Senators | Long Road back to 500 Edition | Tue Feb 13th 7PM 2024 | TSN5, RDS2

[Tragedy]

Ya Timmy was invisible tonight. Perhaps he wasn't feeling well?

I sometimes wonder if I watch the same game as other people. I'd bet my mortgage if Timmy picked up a soft 2nd assist these same people would be saying he had a great game. But since the boxscore has a 0 he obviously had a bad game.

Timmy was robbed twice (once on the wrap around and once in the 3rd when he couldn't quite get the puck over the pad of a prone goalie with a Dman leaning on him.)

Then he out raced and out muscled the CBJ Dman at the end of the game to get possession of puck and feed Giroux who heeled the puck and missed a wide open empty net.

Timmy was flying around the ice tonight and looked great

Not enough. Have you seen a hatty in Edmonton? Montréal? Vancouver?

Ok, where did your hat land tonight?

Hey common now I love Stutzle as much as yhr next guy. He and Sandy are probably our top 2 consistently great players but it looked like Timmy was off a stride tonight.

 

[SanderSen]

What was the entrance music for the team last night? Did the keep gong with a new intro or was the trumpet back?

 

[Flamingo]

I hope the eventual downtown arena has a more steeply-pitched seating sections, like the Bell Centre in Montreal, so that a hat thrown from anywhere has a chance to make it to the ice. Plus, games and concerts feel much more intimate.

They have a nice facility.

I watched the Habs-Wings there back in December.

I haven't been for a game yet. I have seen a few concerts there, and found that the 100s aisle are the best in the building... lots of spots elevated over the floor crowd yet still pretty much on top of the action. Seems like it would be a pressure-cooker for a Habs game.

 

[Big Muddy]

Senators had a strong 1st period last night. The Jackets were more dominant in the 2nd period and during other segments of the game. But, the Senators bent without breaking. They are 8 - 2 - 2 in their last 12 games earning 18 out of a possible 24 points.

The Senators had 2 good defensemen out of the lineup, so that didn't help.

They have a 21-player roster now with only $71 k of cap space. Sounded like they will be doing an emergency call up with Guenette slotting in next game. There can be risks and problems running a lean roster, but hopefully things will work out. Kubalik out the door even if it was for future considerations would really help.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

The way we played I think its fortunate that they played the Blue Jackets. They had a burst of goals in the 1st and managed it after that.

That 2nd period

I just don’t think we play very good with the lead, regardless of who we’re against.

 

[starling]

Stu wasn't invisible at all. He was all over the place, just couldn't score.

 

[Alex1234]

The Senators improved to 8-2-2 in their last 12 games

When was the last 8-2-2 run under DJ?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

When was the last 8-2-2 run under DJ?

When the playoffs were out of reach. :p

But now even more encouraging than the wins is that they are playing the right way. A lot more sustainable for next season.

Actually look like an NHL team now instead of a collection of super skilled junior stars.

Still a very long way to go

They got completely demolished in that western road trip just a few weeks ago and get completely rattled quite easily, and not to mention we make it very easy for other teams to make a comeback on us.

Real test is going to be in October/November

Western trip was before they started playing JM's system properly and had had virtually no practice time. and actually, a big difference now is that they don't get rattled easily. Obviously they aren't playing perfect hockey but between now and December there's a crystal clear improvement in defensive play.

Do you watch the games?

 

[swiftwin]

When was the last 8-2-2 run under DJ?

We went 12-3-1 from Jan 25 to March 4 last season.

 

[DrEasy]

Is it ok to praise Chabot for his game last night? Especially on the PP he looked a lot more decisive, kept the puck in the zone, moved around, made quick passes.

 

[LiseL]

Why don't we throw hats in Ottawa

They did, it wasn't aired. Only thing we saw on the broadcast was a bucket filled with the hats they picked up.

Best arena in the world for hockey. I've been to 14 rinks Ottawa is the least steep. Part of the reason the atmosphere is so poor. I saw a game in Florida this week. Arena was built 2 years after the CTC. It's so much better. Way more vertical so your view is not blocked when people lean in. Huge concourse with tons of washrooms. No lines, louder speakers better atmosphere. And it's in the middle of no where. They are doing it better in sunrise Florida. It's 40 minutes from Fort Lauderdale and over an hour from Miami. We need a new rink so bad.

Agreed him and Brannstrom had good games.

Someone got sens’d

One thing I did noticed was that he was stepping up at the defensive blue line and broke up a few rushes by using the body, thought he had a pretty good game overall for sure.

 

[BondraTime]

He was on the ice for 5 goals for and none against and played 29 minutes, it was a very good and very efficient game from Chabot

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

He even played PK minutes in the third. Can't even remember a time he played SH.

I know. Its a theme by now. Win much once the playoffs are out of reach.
