GDT: GAME 58 | Jets @ Senators | Everybody's Gone Slumpin' Edition | Wed Feb 26 2025, 7PM | SN, RDS

After the last numerous years, Sens fans have been conditioned to think that 4th liners are just filler who don't do anything and that's the way it is.

Then you turn on a Vegas game and see Keegan Kolesar and Nic Roy on the 4th line, or see Dallas play and say "oh look Mavrik Bourque is on their 4th line"...

This is exactly it. We’ve had such horrendous depth for so long that we’re appreciative of guys who don’t actively hurt us instead of looking for guys who actually contribute.

I miss the days when our 4th liners were Chris Neil, Dean McAmmond, Patrick Eaves, Chris Kelly...

I love how players on this team go from game-time decisions to missing a month of hockey.

Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see Brady and Pinto for another 2 weeks.

You can now expect Tyler Kleven to be out 5 weeks.

Travis Green being 'hopeful' somebody can play has become quite a meme in Sens land!

Feels like somebody could be shot in the head, bleeding out and Green would say they're a possibility to play on the weekend.

 

[Beville]

I really should have put my life savings on this game because there was no way Ottawa was going to win it.

I’m actively betting against the Sens for the remainder of the season.

We win, I feel happy for that.

We lose, I win free money.

What’s the point of even having post-game scrums with this guy?

Honestly goaltending is not the problem, the problem with this team is that we can't score!!! Even when we have a healthy lineup we have problem scoring goals on a regular basis. Look at Detroit they're goaltenders suck but they're outscoring their deficiency in net. It's hard to win hockey games when you score 1 or 2 goals per game.

Detroit's goaltending has been one of their strong spots... Also Detroit sucks scoring 5on5 as well. You're thinking of Columbus.

Cousins and Gregor are fine relative to their salaries.

I thought I saw advanced stats that showed that Gregor is not very good at helping his 5 man unite outplay or outscore the opponents 5 man units? He was just fast, but not accomplishing anything positive..

Not sure if that would be "fine" but actually "bad"

He is not GM material. Should have hired a real one. We did it to ourselves again. Gregor, Jensen, Cousins are fine, but that’s where his transactions have tipped out

Gregor has not been successful here. I would not classify that as fine or good signing.

People are being deceived because he's fast and were slow, but he's not a productive or useful player. His speed tricks people into thinking he's accomplishing things on the ice.

Amadio is not our problem, at all. He's a good player. Our problem is our top 6 haven't scored in months and our D don't generate much either.

Amadio provides zero depth scoring, and at 2.6 mil, you would hope he occasionally provides depth scoring on the third line.

The lack of offensive depth is a big concern for this team. He's part of that depth scoring problem.
