[PatrickEaves]

Luckily it wasn't Fivesberg.

Good thing we didn't play 5oguard.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Nice work for Ottawa to hold on to that lead and not let Tampa take it to overtime

 

[Dan Patrick]

Letsssss goooooo

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

f*** Tampa
f*** Chabot
f*** 4sberg

The boys played well if it wasn’t for shoddy goaltending

 

[Tuna99]

Wow, 5 games into the season and it feels like the 1st round of the playoffs

 

[Senscore]

Never easy here is it

 

[inthewings]

3-2 with a tough schedule, while they had to start Forsberg three times is not shabby at all.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

big dub

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

take the two points and run

 

[swiftwin]

3-2 with a tough schedule, while they had to start Forsberg three times is not shabby at all.

Also missing Zub for 3 of those game.

 

[SensFactor]

What I've realized:
1) We can score (best PP in the league)
2) We need to work on D zone coverage and giveaways. Too many, too often.
3) Our backup goaltending is suspect but we got the win today.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Nice win this afternoon - Forsberg few big saves final minute or so

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Coached to a T. Boys but in. A COUPLE saves. Strong win

 

[BigRig4]

Sounds insane to say because we’ve given up 14 goals but our last 3 games has been our best defensive 3-game stretch since 16-17 season.

 

[Dionysus]

Great win. Happy for Forsberg, held the fort in the last couple minutes after some shaky moments in the game.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Tampa Bay is a very good team and they played well today, and the boys came through with a full 60 minute effort to get the win. Hung with them the whole game.

A few misplays with the puck and poor goaltending, but overall a very good win against a very good team.

 

[NyQuil]

Sounds insane to say because we’ve given up 14 goals but our last 3 games has been our best defensive 3-game stretch since 16-17 season.

That can’t be right?

14 goals is our lowest consecutive 3 games GA?

Since 2016-2017?

 

[KingAlfie11]

Yes, another victory against a top team; that's two this season, one against Florida and now another against Tampa, both divisional rivals. One thing is certain: we don't have a problem scoring goals, and managing to score five goals against Vasilevskiy is quite impressive.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Decent win but some of those goals were terrible, especially TB's 4th which was the forwards ignoring their cover. Can't let that happen against a divisional opponent.

Still, I'm more impressed with this win than the other two. Hopefully they keep improving.

 

[Psycroptic86]

Forsberg sucked but made key saves in the dying minutes of the game. Big win for the boys!

Lets be fair. Is this version of Tampa still a top team?

I'm not sure they are a cup contender anymore these days.

 

[Cosmix]

I feel like Forsberg has been pretty good tonight. We also need to stop making so many shitty reads. This team is too much offence and not enough 200-ft game. Green needs to whip them into shape.

Nope.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh 1st win For Forsy hoping this win gives him confidence to get back to 1st year with us Forsberg.Most of the team played their best games today with the exception of Chabot .

Team is really starting to gel and that with impact players missing like : Zub, Greig , Ullmark

 

[senswon]

Best game I've seen them play so far this year.
Really liked when we got ugly hoping they can use this game as a way to an identity.
Chabot needs to be better but really pleased to see some players come alive a bit
Big win for 3-2 record

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Steve needs to address the backup goaltending.
