Should have played fergy. Maybe we could have won 1-0 instead of lose 2-1. I knew we should have played fergy

Wasn't he sick or something?

 

[Senovision]

Yeah I've mostly been positive tonight so try again DJ Junior.

really that would be a first.

Love Fergy but this was not on Sogaard tonight...

 

[SensHulk]

How many Moral Victory Cup Banners do we have hanging from the rafters?

Enough to keep DJ around for 4+ years

 

[Micklebot]

I asked if it was completely different in the hockey context. It seems insane that it would add 8 months of recovery to get on skates?

It's not a full year to return to play, it's up to a full year before it feels normal again, for example, Batherson was saying he was still experiencing tightness probably had a loss of range of motion as a result until recently.

There's also a severity issue, you can have a more severe injury that lasts 6 months before return, and even require surgery, or a less sever sprain that 6 weeks.

I was just trying to bait Bert into some fun.

Agreed. Our forwards were not good enough tonight. I was particularly disappointed in Tkachuk, DBC, etc. and Bruins played a solid game plan against Stutzle.

And then Ullmark was pretty good too (and lucky with those two posts)

 

[Adrianopolous]

I really find that a big difference between us and playoff contenders is how unbelievably relentless those teams are on the puck and at forcing turnovers.

The Sens have not had a team capable of cycling the puck in a controlling manner for 5+ years. Yet virtually every top team we play does it against us like its nothing.

I think until we can properly cycle and pressure teams on the forecheck we're going to be hard pressed to make the playoffs...

Honestly even during the Karlsson years we relied heavily on counter attacks could never sustain pressure

 

[SpezDispenser]

How the hell does Chychrun not have more points. Use him properly ffs

This is because you need 18 guys to do it.

When's the last time we've had 18 legit NHLers in our lineup for a game, let alone a stretch?

People need to relax. Losing is a part of the Wrexham story.

Everything gonna be great next year. Everything.

Gawd dammit the Bruins are beast-like. f***ers!! lol

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

How many posts on the last few games FFS. Including Brady’s OT hat trick goal against the leafs.

3 tonight.

Soogard played a beauty game, despite a few juicy rebounds.

Boston is smothering and attacks so efficiently, nice to be in this one at least.

Oh well. I’m happy I guess? I don’t know anymore lol

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Exactly. Some people on this board only have one tune and they keep singing it over and over again.a broken record.....some player breaks his stick...its DJs fault....goalie doesn't make a save....its DJs fault...a player misses the net its DJs fault....etc..... etc.....

Yeah, I prefer the people on the board singing the tune of: good at home? Praise DJ. Bad on road? Blame players. Players come out with passion? Praise DJ. Players look sleepy? Blame players. Goalie allows 1 goal in 48 shots? DJs system good. Goalie gets f***ed in the ass with 10 odd man rushes? Players fault. Can score on PP only, DJ good. 5/5 GD worse than Arizona? Blame players. Depth must be good enough at home cuz record good? DJ GOAT. Depth all of a sudden sucks on the road, despite being the same players? Dorion fault.

 

[Ice-Tray]

I don’t think anyone likes complainers, that’s why they all gravitate online…. Lucky sports fans!

Good game against a tough veteran group. Would have been nice to bag a win while almost everyone else was losing, but they didn’t, so on to the next one.

Funny how we don’t here how much better Buffalo and Detroit so much anymore. Looks like all the young up and comers are all sitting in the same place. Them with their brilliant GM’s and coaches, and us with the worst duo in history….

Should make for an even better season next year with all the added experience for these clubs. The east is on notice, get those cups while you can because the future looks like the middle of the Atlantic Division.

 

[DrEasy]

No kidding. This team needs drastically better hands. I used to think the problem was the poor ice in Ottawa, but their passing and stickhandling is mediocre on the road, as well.

No wonder they always resort to shipping the puck off the boards or outright dumping it down the ice.

It also seems that they're always on their backhand and need to get rid of the puck quickly under pressure. They never have time and space to make good passes.

 

[KingAlfie11]

It;s gonna be fascinating to see what the Bruins will do in the Playofffs but usually the President Trophy winner don't win the Stanley cup, the last one was the Blackhawks in 2012-13. We all remember Tampa versus Columbus in 2019 where Tampa had 128pts and lost in the 1st round. Personally I would not be shocked if they can bounced in the 1st round.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Wasn't he sick or something?

Yeah he’s hungover AF. Probably didn’t have to buy any of his drinks either.

 

[PlayersLtd]

There is negativity and then there is negativity due to a lack of intelligence. It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate the two as the season goes on.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I thought they played well? That’s a good team in Boston. Not sure what folks were expecting?

I think they played a pretty strong game too. Hit a few posts. Had some great chances.

Could easily have won the game if one of those posts go in. Sucks to lose but that's hockey.

Bigger issue isn't how they played last night, but how they can get very cold for extended periods. That's gotta get fixed next season if they want to make the playoffs.

 

[SensontheRush]

Source? Surprised they'd even have time to after a late flight on a Monday night. I can imagine if there was a day off between games. The Sens didn't look hungover at all.

Everything gonna be great next year. Everything.

I've accepted that the playoffs aren't happening this year a while ago, the push was fun but even at the height of it, it was a long shot

We played a great game, no shame in how we played last night,
