GDT: GAME 61 | Senators @ Blackhawks | Must Win in Windy City Edition | Wed Mar 5 2025, 7:30PM | SN, TVAS

[OttawaSenators11]

I don't mind the diamond, what I can't stand is us giving the guy down low all the room in the world. We need to be more aggressive in that situation but instead we always retreat

They are obviously told to give up all that room because it happens literally every game

Sens can’t seem to have many clean games on the PK these days PP goals given up 8 of last 9 games

 

[StoicSensFan]

Bertuzzi probably baited him

(it was a vaccine joke)

 

[Micklebot]

Kinda have to in some circumstances. It creates a 2 on 1 downlow

Well giving a 1 on 0 certainly isn't the answer

 

[Big Muddy]

Classic Senators. Some errors/lapses cost them. Real fast start though.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

They just showed the replay of Brady's penalty, pretty damn clear dive imo

I can see why they called it but I hope the refs know now that they got embarrassed there

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

(it was a vaccine joke)

missed it lol

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Staios should call up Davidson and pretend to meet the price on Donato, but say he just needs to reach out to the agent on one of this pieces to confirm something. Then after Donato gets pulled for the rest of the game, he can be like no we can't get Mantinpalo to waive his NMC.

 

[Alex1234]

Need more intensity to start that 2nd period
Through the motion rn

 

[lang006]

They need to upgrade their 4th line

Yeah don’t even have to acquire anyone for that. they have the options in the minors. Not sure why Highmore is still up. Gaudette doesn’t need to play every game. Cousins still out I guess too

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Hamonic is something I don’t beleive he was ever as good as sportsnet hyped him up to be

 

[WallyD]

Kinda have to in some circumstances. It creates a 2 on 1 downlow

That's my issue... also lowest D has no idea which of two forwards in slot to Cover. Box just seems so much more efficient and easy than diamond. Same number of bodies but there's way too much who has got who issues.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Mantipalo has looked like ass ever since he was paired with Hamonic

 

[Ouroboros]

Matinpalo is brutal.

 

[Senscore]

Mantipalo has looked like ass ever since he was paired with Hamonic

Harder than handling McDavid

 

[CornerStone61]

Mantipalo has looked like ass ever since he was paired with Hamonic

Surely that's only a coincidence

 

[lang006]

Kinda have to in some circumstances. It creates a 2 on 1 downlow

Both D should be around the net and staying there boxing out at all times. I can’t stand the diamond setup.

 

[Alex1234]

Nice shot by Chabot

 

[Sun God Nika]

Love the intensity of these commentators

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Blackhawks are not getting a penalty her

 

[2CHAINZ]

I missed the first 5 minutes of the second because I was watching Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

Mantipalo has looked like ass ever since he was paired with Hamonic

A lot of players can't handle playing on his level and crumble under the pressure.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Nice shift by Zub

 

[WallyD]

Surely that's only a coincidence

Absolutely astounding that the Sens brain trust dares measure anybody's when paired with a GD boat anchor. Why is it that so many raved about Matinpalo's performance for the Finns at the 4-Nations and yet hear we are questioning if he can or ever has played the game when paired with Hammy? Holy shit, I would be demanding my agent demand a trade!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

No poise lol. Give us a mile we will take an inch.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Refs letting lots of holding on Chicago slide.

 

[Ouroboros]

Loosey-goosey game. Too much trading chances.
