I get it it sucks to lose to the Habs but the good news is that were still a playoff position.

 

[Mr Hat]

When xhekaj blew highnore up it was essentially over.

Highmore NHL career should be over. That guy is a massive plug and should be our 50th forward option.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

With people saying that the minimum points needed to make the playoffs is 93, I'd say as long as the Sens go 8-7-0 forward we should make it, and the schedule definitely looks favourable enough for that.

 

[Boud]

We’re in a pretty good spot still but I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question that the Habs pass us now.

 

[JungleBeat]

Reinbacher and Demidov aren’t on the roster yet..

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Timmy looked embarassing on that empty net goal lol

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I mean, when Travis Hamonic is the second star (and only star) we aren’t winning that game

 

[Burrowsaurus]

One team was desperate, another just didn't show up in the third

Probably not a good omen during the biggest stretch of the season.

Have you guys seen Ullmarks playoff numbers? I think those numbers may leak into his late season crunch time numbers as well

 

[ottawagm]

Why not try better options than Gaudette and Highmore on the 4th?

Why not elevate Zetterlund when nobody’s doing anything

Pisses me off

We should have tried to pick up a few depth players for the trade deadline rather than trading 2 assets + depth in Gregor, for Zetterlund.

Maybe Zetterlund turns out to be OK, but we really needed better options than Highmore and Gaudette.

They keep saying we have no experienced PKers... maybe we should have focused on that.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

That was a god awful 3rd period. We were due for a loss. Sucks it came against the Habs. Hopefully we bounce back against the Avs.

 

[Ouroboros]

We’re in a pretty good spot still but I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question that the Habs pass us now.

WC2 is actually better for us. Senators match up decently against Washington, but the Panthers would absolutely butcher them. That would be a short series.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Timmy looked embarassing on that empty net goal lol

Guy just fades when the game gets high pressure or heavy

 

[Benstheman]

With people saying that the minimum points needed to make the playoffs is 93, I'd say as long as the Sens go 8-7-0 forward we should make it, and the schedule definitely looks favourable enough for that.

You’re good. I think you guys are already in.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Looking at our schedule, it’s very possible we’re going to get swept by both Buffalo and Montreal this season lol. We just don’t show up to those.

The “easiest schedule remaining” seems more like a curse. At least the travel is good. I’m pretty sure we’re in the playoffs, but in typical Sens fashion we will probably make it very ugly.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

I think Gaudette really took advantage of our team lack of goalscoring all season long. He had his 15 goals early in the season and did pretty much notbing on that 4th line for over 60 games . We need guys that can't acutally sakte check or hit in the 4th line. Highmore an ahl player can't blame him for his effort he just doesn't have what it take. A lot of our D man are playing their worst hockey

 

[Relapsing]

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Guy just fades when the game gets high pressure or heavy

His recent point streak begs to differ. He's still young and obviously will have inconsistency.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Travis Hamonic really f***ing with people's emotions this game.

You hate him before the game starts, love him midway then hate him again by the end of it.

 

[Senscore]

The only tangible advantage is home ice.


But we do have that.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

That was a god awful 3rd period. We were due for a loss. Sucks it came against the Habs. Hopefully we bounce back against the Avs.

Yeah Avs on a b2b and the fact they're extremely top heavy with lacklustre depth means we gotta take advantage.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I think the early goal is what killed us tonight. It's so important for road games to try and take the crowd out of it early, but that quick goal by Montreal really gave them a lot of energy that they carried through the whole game. I actually didn't mind their game tonight, just some untimely goals, if Ullmark squeezes that rebound then we probably come away with a point against a really fired up Montreal team.

 

[Mr Hat]

Did people think the Sens would win every game?

Did people think losing three straight to a bunch of French losers outscored 16-6 is acceptable. Great 2nd period. 3rd is a disgrace and the whole team should be ashamed of that pathetic result.

 

[Mingus Dew]

Probably not a good omen during the biggest stretch of the season.

Have you guys seen Ullmarks playoff numbers? I think those numbers may leak into his late season crunch time numbers as well

Montreal owns him. Not sure why. He’s been pretty awesome on the win streak no? Is that not the late season crunch?

 

[NinjaSens]

We’re in a pretty good spot still but I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question that the Habs pass us now.

I want the Sens to push hard and get as many points as possible. However, I wouldn't mind the WC2 spot. A part of me would rather see the Sens face Washington rather Florida or Tampa.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Travis Hamonic really f***ing with people's emotions this game.

You hate him before the game starts, love him midway then hate him again by the end of it.

As a top Hamonic Hater on this board I think Ullmark and the rest of the team could have done the bare minimum to at least secure a point. He should be unscathed.
