[Dan Patrick]

Excited to see how the Sens stack up against the mormons and for ullmark to be back.

Go Sens Go!

 

[Big Muddy]

A couple of questions:

1. What is Grieg’s injury?

2. Is Ullmark playing for sure?

 

[Norris4Norris]

How in the world does UTAH have a 4-1-1 record!

Arizona must be cursed.

I think this is a win for the Sens tonight. Ulmark will shut it down and the Sens PP will dominate.

Most people in Utah are finding out tonight that Ottawa is a real place in a different country.

 

[Senscore]

f*** they still have Nick Schmaltz

 

[Tuna99]

Sens are the better team. 5-2

Huge team focus on road wins and Travis Green said they need to be a better road team with a winning road record so I’m glad there’s a focus on road play and a winning road game.

2. Is Ullmark playing for sure?

They're both expected to play but no confirmation yet. No idea what Greig's injury was.

Well finishing low in the standings for years means they’ve been able to pick up a bunch of high draft picks. They also added Sergachev.

We’ll see how well they do as the season progresses. Just offering some answers or ideas based on your question.

Already an important moment into the season this west coast trip is huge for our play off win 3 games or 2 and we have already the best start of last 3 seasons. We have history of shiting on the bed in the west .Let's hope it's not the case this time.

Tough match ups(Vegas,Colorado) including this one but if team plays like they played Tampa + Ulmark we can do just fine .
Hoping for 3 wins but I will take 2 wins and OTL as a succesful road trip.

Interesting,

I watched this clip from overdrive. They put Utah in the top 10 of teams with no chance at winning the Stanley Cup.

Hayes’ Top 10 teams with no shot at winning the Stanley Cup - Video - TSN

Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss Hayes’ list of teams that have no chance at winning a Stanley Cup this season.

I think their inexperience might hurt them later in the year when it gets more physical and teams are racing for a playoff spot. But clearly they have talent.

Nice gdt

Very weird that they still have Alfie practicing with them on gameday. Also, looks like Forsy could still start could tonight.

Edit: Forsberg starts, Leevi backs up per here:

This game feels important. They've already dropped the ball against a bad Habs team. Need to take care of business against a weak opponent this team. Losing and falling back to 0.500 would be demoralizing

UTAH is not a weak team

hopefully we aren't going in thinking that

Utah is 4-1-1 and 6th in the NHL by points percentage. Wouldn’t say a week opponent.

The Chiefs are undefeated with injuries to key players, the Sens can win like that too.

f*** off Utah, the cup is ours.

This is so demoralizing lol

Wasn't the Phoenix game last year Jacques' first game back and we came out flying (eventually blowing it)?

 

[HSF]

forsberg played good last game outside of the shit goal

If he can just lock down tonight without letting in a bad one it would be good

I honestly believe Forsberg just needs reps and he will start moving his save % upwards. It's also a matter of our team cutting down those high qualify chances against. DEFENCE.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

lol gonna need 5 goals again for a chance to win

 

[mysens]

Did Pinto travel with the team? His car is in his driveway....hmmm. Unless he car pooled with his roommate

I think this is a win for the Sens tonight. Ulmark will shut it down and the Sens PP will dominate.

Most people in Utah are finding out tonight that Ottawa is a real place in a different country.

They were able to weaponize their assets this summer (cap space+draft picks) to add prime veterans to the roster. Combine that with multiple pieces from their young core reaching a later stage in their development.

This almost reminds me of the Quebec relocation, but worse because at least Quebec was able to make moves and try to win before moving to Colorado. The Coyotes fans had to sit through a 4 year rebuild, and now another fanbase gets the reward for that. Not only that, they watched their team accrue what might be the greatest wealth of picks+prospects+young NHLers in the history of the cap era. Now, another franchise gets to use those to try and win a cup.

What's in his fridge? Lol

 

[Samboni]

Historically, the Sens have done very poorly when on western swings. Hopefully they can smash the curse. They need Forsberg to be very sharp.
