GDT: GAME 55 | Senators @ Lightning | Sunshine State of Mind Edition | Thu Feb 6 2025, 7PM | TSN5, RDS

[L'Aveuglette]

Oh great now we're getting embarrassed.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Hope this game is just a dart in the ass and not a headshot for remaining games

 

[Bileur]

On the empty netter?

On Point’s goal.

 

[StoneHoffs129]

Guadette is the Hamonic of forwards, if either has the puck you can count on them shooting. Rarely do the pass...

 

[mianjo]

Florida washout coming

 

[swiftwin]

Blown out in a big game not a good look

Not a blowout.

 

[Psycroptic86]

Massively disappointing two games against Tampa.

 

[Sensrule]

Go Canada.

 

[Dionysus]

Tampa the better team these two games. Not by much, but Ottawa's lack of execution really exposed them.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I'm so glad we didn't call up Halliday and went 11F/7D so we could avoid scratching Hamonic

 

[CornerStone61]

Not a blowout.

It is now

 

[NyQuil]

Bad timing for these two games.

 

[Senscore]

This stupid team

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

If this a was a serie vs Tampa we're out in 4 or 5

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well you’re not wrong this team is missing a play driver. But dissecting every play to justify this perception that our talent level is terrible is the extreme part of your assessments.

We don’t finish plays. We don’t possess the puck at high speeds we do t undress goalies or opposing players. Really do we ping the puck around crisply.

I don’t know what everyone is so touchy about other than they thought we had an uber talented team. We don’t. It’s a team that’s wins needs to win by committee and hard work and stingy defence. That’s what it is. Nothing wrong with that. We can’t defenitely make the playoffs and win a few round with this team

 

[Bileur]

Not a blowout.

At the risk of sounding like Rod Brind’Amour, I agree.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Not confident going into the Florida game at all.

Sigh

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I think we played well but ran out of gas

Tampa is great and these were huge games

Tampa is fine. Their coverage was piss poor.

 

[Bileur]

If this a was a serie vs Tampa we're out in 4 or 5

Not many teams win a playoff series missing their 2 and 3 Cs.

 

[Icelevel]

We had the first game stolen from us.
This one we lost.

Close but to leave with 0 of 4 points stings bad.

Hope pinto and Norris are back soon.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

On Point’s goal.

It was a slow motion deflection for like 20 feet away. Maybe forsberg couldn’t do anything about it but another goalie likely could have

 

[Senscore]

Not confident going into the Florida game at all.

Sigh

But Forsbergs been good lately

 

[Hale The Villain]

I know everyone is going to be acting like the sky is falling after 2 straight losses, but it is worth pointing out that the Lightning are a legit top 5 team in the league that are only in a wildcard spot right now because of some bad luck.

We shouldn't have been expected to win either game, but it definitely still stings.

 

[SensFactor]

Preview of what the playoffs would look like against a veteran team...

1. Cant score/not enough depth
2. Poor start
3. Poor special teams
4. Too many passengers

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Not a blowout.

5-1 is what it is

Preview of what the playoffs would look like against a veteran team...

Missing centers 2 and 3 yes likely this is what it would look like.
