I really wouldn't go that far dude they played great for 40 minutes and obviously the Bruins knew they were the fresher team in the 3rd and put the pedal to the metal.

That 6v4 PP though, now that was embarrassing.

Meant for that 6-on-4 powerplay obviously.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I think it was Boston who called it in the first

Was it? My bad then.

Should have used it if they still had it then. That would be on the coach

 

[Mingus Dew]

A high ankle sprain doesn't affect your brain and he has played lazy and dumb for much of the year.

Football players come back from high ankle sprains in like 6 weeks. In what world is that a year long injury?

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It wasn't that obvious.

 

[Sensinitis]

Nice effort against the best team in the league.

Boston is so good at clogging up the neutral zone, crazy what a difference good coaching does.

 

[SensHulk]

We’ve been really unlucky with the posts (like 5 posts the last 2 games) but that was an atrocious 3rd period. Game was there to be had too, what a shame…

Reaching for an excuse.

Replace Debrincat with Fiala and we are tooth and nail for the wild card, if not comfortably in. What an incredibly disappointing season. I really can't remember one like it in Sens history.

Dude we added Giroux, Chychrun and Debrincat and we still suck. I don't think a 5'8 Fiala will do anything on this Team either

 

[Burrowsaurus]

That whole two minutes was the team desperately trying to get the puck to a covered tkatchuk against the wall. Batherson had full control of the puck and the Bruins were backing off and he just wanted that puck to tkatchuk so bad

 

[SensontheRush]

Boston has 6 top 4 Dmen, and it looks like it too.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

probably not.
Fiala is good but he’s not transforming your team

It's not about "transforming your team", its about a guy who has choked and failed to execute at a rate I've never seen on this team. My point isn't that Fiala is a franchise-altering talent, it's that Debrincat has been one of our worst players at 5-on-5 and has squandered opportunities that should be spoon-fed goals.

Maybe DBC also got an ankle sprain last year.

I think he got a mental boo boo when the bad man traded him to a team he didn’t want to go to.

Can’t wait till he’s gone.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Guys I think DJ is dealing with an ankle sprain hence his decision making has been off

 

[bert]

That third period plus the last 2 minutes was absolutely pathetic and only highlights how are far this team is from being a contender.

Back to back they are tired. Playing the best team in the league. Third was fine given how well they played. Last 2 minutes was tough.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Maybe DBC also got an ankle sprain last year.

There are plenty of reasons that could be at play and they could be entirely beyond his control. It doesn't change the fact that he has been incredibly un-clutch and hasn't really brought any element that we are missing.

I don't think he's a bad player at all. I just think he's been really bad for large portions of the year and am very disappointed by that.

I was kidding.

85th in league goal scoring but give him 8 million, pass.

 

[Senator Stanley]

How is this possible if Matt Grzelcyk is 5'10"? Asking for DJ.

 

[bert]

You're having quite the night. Discount Bathersons injury again.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I know, I was just using your joke as a jumping off point

 

[Yak]

I wish we would have won or a tie at least , however after last night in back to back we played a very strong game. Is obvious we played last night and this part of learning experience of this team.

Defense played very good, Soggy was Solid, Offense just could not bury one on Ullmark.Not from lack of trying.

Leafs losing to the NYI is more disgusting, thanks for nothing Make Be Leafs!

Oh well happy for Soggy for a Solid game!

Onto another easy game against the Lightning .

But he scored the game winning goal vs the Pens in last 2 minutes of the game to give us the only victory for this Month

You're having quite the night. Discount Bathersons injury again. Shows you never played a competitive sport in your life.

Injuries are real but at a certain point the excuse needs to run out.

Again, you see HAS in football a lot and timeline for return is usually 6-8 games. So even accounting for a month or two to get back to normal after you come back I’m not sure how you can be dealing with the injury for nearly a year. Unless it’s just a totally different injury in the hockey context?

Thanks I also think I've made a lot of great posts tonight.
