GDT: GAME 67 | Senators @ Canadiens | Playing with the Big Boys Now Part 1 Edition | Tue Mar 18 2025, 7PM | TSN2, TSN5, RDS

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Colorado is a scheduled loss too. Saturday is a must win

idk the avs legitimately don't have depth this season,

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I dont think so, Ullmark has been clutch. Its our dzone coverage that has been bad lately...plus too soft play from some players...

Guy has a history of being basically korpisalo in the playoffs

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

If we sneak in we are likely playing washington

Probably better for us. We have a better chance against Washington and if we somehow make round 2, against the Canes or Devils.

We haven’t sniffed the playoffs in 8 years at this point let’s just get there and figure it out.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

idk the avs legitimately don't have depth this season,

We just got fed by the Montreal Canadians

The Detroit redwings had like 30 shots in one period against us.



And the bruins who are tanking gave us the run around while we leaked chances to them.

We are playing poorly Toronto game aside.

We’ve had soft goals go in for us and not many bad goals go in against us.

As soon as that turns this is primed for a massive collapse

We didn’t even look good against Philly.

The Boston game swayman seemed to make the conscious decision that he wanted to be pulled lol

 

[Hale The Villain]

0% chance we beat the Panthers in the first round. We have a decent shot against the Caps.

That said you play to win. But WC2 is the better spot.

Panthers are only ahead of Tampa and Toronto by 2 points, and both have a game in hand.

They don't have the Atlantic locked up just yet.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

My point it his “playoff” numbers might just be his “high pressure” numbers.

Bruins were always comfortably in the pos.

Panthers and Tampa are more dangerous than any team in the Metro. Leafs aren’t winning the Atlantic.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Probably better for us. We have a better chance against Washington and if we somehow make round 2, against the Canes or Devils.

Yeah the Metro bracket is a lot more appealing than the nightmare that is the Atlantic. Good teams there but it’s really not even close, especially with NJ losing Hughes and Hamilton.

Still I don’t want to get in by crawling.

[swiftwin]

Can we really use that chirp when we have 0 Stanley Cups and they have 24?

Yes. Nobody cares about cups that happened last century.

 

[Hale The Villain]

You're right on the first point, but the division is definitely within their grasp if they string some wins together.

 

[Mingus Dew]

My point it his “playoff” numbers might just be his “high pressure” numbers.

Bruins were always comfortably in the pos.

But again the last 6 games were high pressure games? Maybe even higher pressure because we didn’t have a comfortable lead? After this loss our playoff chances are at 95%. Is that super duper high pressure? Seems like kind of a not important game in terms of our odds to make the postseason?

The Canadiens and latter half of the Red Wings game, you have a point. We need to stop thinking the Bruins dominated us after we took a massive lead, we played a textbook defend the lead well situation against them. Overall in our win streak, we've played well with room for improvement.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Not sure what Ullmark is doing on the Hutson goal.

Those odds are garbage

These are high pressure games

We’ll see. They are breaking down before our eyes.

Text book defence isn’t giving the other team a wide open net up 4-2 lol. I promise that isn’t the defence they drew up.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Ullmark just seemed really bad at holding onto the puck this game, Habs got two goals by shooting on loose pucks.

 

[Mingus Dew]

They go .500 from here they make the playoffs. This wasn’t a must win game by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[swiftwin]

The only thing I'm upset about is blowing a potential Travis Hamonic GWG. Otherwise, our playoff chances have barely budged.

 

[swiftwin]

Those odds are garbage

These are high pressure games

We're 7-2-1 in these high pressure games in our last 10 games. Stop crying.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Not sure what Ullmark is doing on the Hutson goal.

It looks like it slightly hit off Sanderson. No defending him on the GWG though.

Oh well, time to move on. Avs will be tough but we’re pretty good at home and they’re playing back to back on the road. I’m going to the game, hopefully it’s not a trainwreck.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

News flash every team gives up a high quality chance, when we factor the entirety of the latter half of the Bruins game, we absolutely played like what a typical playoff team would play like if they're up, limiting quality chances and at the moment we allow it, make sure the goalie sees it. Winnipeg has given up high quality one-timers, so has Vegas, etc. Heck, did you see Vegas getting embarrassed by Albert Johansson of all players?

Most importantly, Avs are a very top heavy team. Even though the Habs are a worse team clearly, Habs have a stronger bottom 6 than the Avs, and having home advantage makes that more important than people realize.
