GDT: GAME 60 | Senators @ Capitals | No Candy for Ovy Edition | Mon March 3 2025, 6:30PM | TSN5, TVAS

[Bjornar Moxnes]

If we had a 4 on 2 I wouldn’t even be confident we would get a shot off

Exactly what I mean.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Highmore with a team low 5:11 of ice time

Our depth is going to be a serious issue down the stretch. If we get one more injury you feel the gap between the replacement players is so significant it isn't even funny.

We already have guys barely hanging on in the top 6 like Perron and Giroux.

 

[Boud]

Overall very bad start to the game but they battled hard to get a point. Would not have expected a win tonight, even though it turned out to be a winnable game. Take the point and move on. We have a lot of home games down the stretch.

I look at the schedule and this “easiest strenght of schedule” for this team is absolute bullshit.

Next 10 we play the Rangers, the Wings, the Bruins, the Habs, the Leafs, the Avs and the Devils. Multiple teams we are battling with for a playoff spot. These games will probably be harder than against top teams given the implications.

This teams needs to go on a hot streak now because our future is out of our hands at this point. Just have to hope we are hotter than all those teams down the stretch and that won’t be easy.

 

[2CHAINZ]

We should check on Adrianopolis

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Highmore with a team low 5:11 of ice time

Why even bring him up. He does nothing whatsoever. At least Crookshank can forecheck and is a hound on the puck.

Crookshank should definitely be an NHL regular, it's absurd that he's banished to Belleville considering how weak our forward group is.

In order to make the playoffs we need to go get a guy who can replace Perron in the top-6. I know it's probably not gonna happen, but I don't see us sneaking in there with both him and Giroux on the top lines.

 

[Ouroboros]

I think that the Sens have already decided that Crookshank isn't an NHL player. He was way down the list of recalls this season - Reinhardt, Ostapchuk, Jenik, and Highmore all came up ahead of him.

He's probably moving on as a UFA this summer.

Which doesn't make sense though.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Great game, sad finish

 

[MiscBrah]

We really shortened the bench in that one, and it paid off, but you can't do that every game. We had three guys with well below 10 minutes of ice time. Washington only had one player with less than 10 minutes, and he played 9:58. Depth is certainly an issue right now.

 

[Ouroboros]

Who the hell asked Giroux that question?

 

[StoicSensFan]

Who the hell asked Giroux that question?

Dunno but it really seems like Brucie takes any chance to rip other journalists yet has paper thin skin.

 

[PlayOn]

Which doesn't make sense though.

David Bell did say on CIH once that Crookshank cheats for offense. Maybe that’s why.

Idk, he looks good when he plays here.

 

[OD99]

Watching the Leafs 4 on 3 in OT and it's such a difference. They have collapsed the Sharks more and really whip it around.

 

[Ouroboros]

Which doesn't make sense though.

It's not unreasonable. I don't think he really has the skillset to play down a lineup.

He's not reliable defensively which really hurts him. He's a volume shooter which doesn't really lend itself to playing limited minutes. I'd be surprised if he ever stuck anywhere long-term at the NHL level.

 

[Alex1234]

don't even know why you'd send Bath in the SO unless he's last one to go

Deserved




NOT

 

[Emerica]

Who the hell asked Giroux that question?

Does Fox news have any sports reporters?

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Pinto looking like a beast out there, at least.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Of all people Bruce does not have paper thin skin.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Why even bring him up. He does nothing whatsoever. At least Crookshank can forecheck and is a hound on the puck.

Green loves his former Canucks.

Hamonic is a disaster but he's in the lineup every night.

Gaudette has 5 points in his last 29 games but hasn't been scratched once.

Highmore had 10 points in 23 AHL games and got a callup, has predictably done nothing to show he's an NHLer.

I'm getting Guy Boucher Tom Pyatt flashbacks..

It's really annoying how coaches hold on to these borderline players from old teams and try to will them into regulars.

I don't even know what Highmore brings other than a meme-able name and perhaps being a stunt double for Grieg.

 

[Alex1234]

Bath had 2 SOG with the 3rd most TOI of all the forwards
-1
Responsible for the 1st GA
Elbows Dowd for no reason for a penalty
Nothing else


Thats what is called a bad game

And they are multiplying from him lately

It’s a code thing. They’ll lose with them before they win without them. And that compliance with the code is what gets them hired again
