Leafs turn brown in fall. Maple Shits.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Just realized Friday could be Ullmark vs. Samsonov. That’s personal for Sammy.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Just DM @Adrianopolous. We know who you’re talking about.

Shush. If you post his name three times he appears just like Beetlejuice.

 

[Tuna99]

When you’ve got Stutzle, Tkachuk, and Sanderson on the ice 4/4 please keep passes to Hamonic to a minimum.

Hamonic and his moustache played 22 minutes tonight. Shutout, road win, top pairing all while looking like Ethan Hawkes drummer

 

[DJB]

Bangarang Ruffio is all I got to say about that.

My favs childhood movie of all time so loved this one liner you wrote !

 

[NyQuil]

Forsberg up to .904.

Good for him.

 

[DrEasy]

Forsberg up to .904.

Good for him.

Uncharted territory!

 

[NyQuil]

Uncharted territory!

Well, he was a .917 back when everyone thought the team had turned things around.

Amazing what goaltending can do for narratives.

 

[inthewings]

4-2 record and +4 goal differential against a pretty tough slate of opponents, with Ullmark only able to start 2 of those games. Not shabby at all.

 

[BondraTime]

They will get to the playoffs this year if they can have Ullmark in net.

Great forward core, and first time in nearly a decade they’ve had a competent, complete D core.

Think they will need to pick up a bottom pair guy throughout the season to take Hamonic/JBD out, but other than that, this is looking like a very solid 5-8 playoff team.

Still on the trade for Dante Fabbro train.

Sanderson-Zub
Chabot-Jensen/Fabbro
Kleven-Jensen/Fabbro

 

[BoardsofCanada]

With Giroux-Norris-Batherson buzzing right now, who else do you put with Brady and Stu?

I might try Grieg, DP or even Gregor with Tkachuk and Stutzle.

Amadio is not hurting them defensively, but he doesn't bring much offense. Maybe it'll come. I just think it's a shame to waste the top line's talents by not having a 3rd guy who can complement them.

For us to compete with the big boys, we need a formidable top line. Maybe Green's strategy is to have a defensive top line that doesn't get scored on and let them do their damage on the power play.

 

[ColinM]

Forsberg sure beat expectations

Not sure Sens want to be adding a 2.5 million dollar 6/7 with their very limited cap space.

They went through that laast year with Brannstrom at 2 mill, 2.5 mill is too much for a 15/16 minute a night guy.

JBD and Hamoic may not be as good as him, but they are certainly not far off, and both cost 1.5 million less.

There was no market for Brann, I don't think there would be a market for Fabbro, and if there was, we'd likely be taking back value with his contract

 

[Adrianopolous]

We don’t even need Ullmark

I still think there's lots of room for growth in JBD.

JBD turned 24 this off season. Consider that:

DeMelo was 25 when he joined the sens, and was a 3rd pair guy that wasn't qualified prior to that.
Zub was 25 before playing his first NHL game.
Jensen was 26 before playing his first NHL game

All three guys are similar archetypes to JBD, average size, average skaters, not overly physical or great puck handler, just smart defensive players that make the right choices at the right times. None of these guys made it earlier because their games weren't based on physical abilities, they couldn't dangle their way to points or dominate the opposition physically, they had to play a smart game based on positioning and the experience to know what play to make.

JBD isn't there yet, but as a 3rd pair guy, I think he strikes a good balance of good value for money, and upside to become something more. if he's you're 6th Dman, I think that's more than alright.

We will accrue a lot more than that at the deadline if we don't go into LTIR this year (Heck even if we do, we can always just Mark Stone someone like Norris if we happen to make the playoffs).

You meant Not Chabby at all...right?

That's a fair statement. Trust me ideally I'd like to get rid of Hamonic.

Quite impressive that they checked 2 of my boxes

1. win 2 in a row
2. play with the lead and keep it

Now, I would like for them to stay go stay above .500 and string a couple of good wins, especially playing with the lead.

Now do it by win percentage!

 

[Icelevel]

Jensen was amazing those few shifts
Gotta rewatch that.

I’m not sure what your fascination is with Fabbro. I don’t think that’s much of an upgrade on JBD.
