Gotta think this 5 game skid is a result of Staios’ hubris. He did absolutely nothing to try and get us help after our entire top line went down medium term

Plus he sent down the goalie who was playing lights out because Forsberg is a nice guy.

The reality of pro sports is that honeymoon's are short. Andlauer learned that with the QC fiasco, and if this team completely falls out of it before the deadline, Staios will learn it quickly.
 
Well, that was disappointing.

Not seeing much heart with this group lately. I know we have a ton of injuries, but you can't just rely on 1-2 guys on the roster to be your 'everything' guys. Some of it has to also come from within.

The Leevi demotion is absolutely wild to me. There’s literally nothing you can say to justify it. All he did was win, so let’s demote him!

Very incompetent decision making in our organization.
 
Staios is ass

Team is ass too

Cant wait to hear the nice speeches about taking the next step and playing meaningful hockey next year

They honestly wont win a game with a roster like it is atm and Hamonic playing that much

Its insane how dumb they are
 
Somehow this feels worse

It feels worse because in previous years you could cling to the belief that it was Dorion, or DJ. "A couple shrewd moves and better coaching and we're there!"

This year it'll be painfully obvious that it's the core, and there's no quick fix. Only a couple of players with high trade value, lots of long-term salary on the books, very few good prospects on the horizon...

Sometimes you just gotta ride the hot goaltender. Were they scared someone would've claimed Forsberg?

Name one Staois move this season that has worked out.

Amadio - Nope
Perron - Nope
Gregor - Nope
Cousins - Not really
Ullmark signing - doesn't look good
Jensen trade - I guess this is the only one.
I would say Cousins was fine and liked his game.

But yeah not a great look to his acquisitions

Hired coach Green, who demands a style that kills everyone offensively (basically everyone having down year )not only is it not winning hockey it’s very boring to watch.

Now to listen to AJ make excuses for the team while getting mad at callers.
That guy is a utter Pejorative Slur

I have no idea how he has a job and 2 why people call him lol

I have no idea either. He's terrible on the radio and he takes more vacations than a politician. :P

This x1000.

The absolute bare minimum band-aid solution to try and generate offense was calling up Crookshank instead of Highmore, and he's only just gotten around to it.

Edited to add: the offensive woes started months ago, not just due to recent injuries
 
The truth is that most of those guys don't give a shit. They're just here to collect a paycheck and they have no pride in wearing the Sens jersey it means nothing to them. Alfie, Spezza, Neil, Phillips, all those guys had pride playing for the Sens. We need to get the pride back. This team is 4 steps forward and 6 steps back.

That's exactly it...and it's not bad reasoning. I think management is aware that Ullmark may be an injury problem going forward, and they couldn't take the risk of losing an NHL level goaltender (even if Forsberg is barely NHL quality).
 
Outscored 23-8 on this 5-game losing streak.
