GDT: GAME 71 | Senators @ Bruins | David, Meet Goliath Edition | Tue Mar 21 2023, 7PM | TSN5, RDS2

David vs. Goliath?

I was sure David won that battle and then became the second of three great kings of Israel.

An accurate comparison of Ottawa and Boston would be to say that Boston is to winning as Ottawa is to losing. They both tend to find a way.

Yep and season series was 2-2.
With both teams winning at home.

LOL

But who has won cups? Who has been great recently? How many cups have the Sens won in the last 100 years?

The Bruins are winners and historically the Senators have only ever lost.

We are the New York Jets and they are the New England Patriots. Let's not get it twisted, we aren't half the team that Boston is.

Just correcting your misinformation, you’re welcome.
Yes Senators do have Stanley cups. Guess you haven’t been to the rink yet , to see the banners over the last 100 years.

Lmao, wtf does the last 100 years have to do with last night's game?

Ya it was strange.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

It's funny when people post as though we are a historically-atrocious team and then act incredulous & indignant when people don't take them seriously

Don't let the facts come in the way of some fans feelings haha

I mean according to Aragon, the Bruins should be embarrassed of themselves and the Sens should hold their heads high and proud

my man! if you're going to keep spitting facts then you will make tons of enemies around here hahaha

Except the supposed facts have already been proven false lol.

I have seen his slap shot which is VG. I have not observed "great passing". He seems slow at times, as though he is out of game shape. He does not hit a lot nor punish players with his checking. He is better than what we had before (Zaitsev and Holden), but has not really impressed me yet. I hope he does soon. Sanderson on the other hand has really impressed me. Brannstrom is improving.

I am looking forward to next year with our improved D core:
Chabot - Zub
Sanderson - Hamonic/JBD/Thomson/New Guy
Chychrun - Brannstrom

Playing Chychrun with Brannstrom might work out very well. I would run the 3 D pairs at equal time ES, so the above placement order is immaterial.

Brannstrom makes everybody better.

I'm not sure Boston's cup in 2011 is particularly relevant to today's team, I wouldnt say the current Hawks team knows how to win because of their 2010, 2013 and 2015 cups, those are past team's wins and the current team needs to carve out its own legacy.

Bruins will win the president's trophy this year, they win games because they are well coached and have a strong roster, not because over a decade ago they won a cup with a largely different roster or because in the 70s Esposito and Orr earned their rings.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

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

I missed the last 3 GDTs .. starting to catchup.. This is good to know. I'll let you know if I find any

The Ottawa Senators won 11 Stanley Cups between the years of 1903 and 1927.

In four separate occassions talking to friends just this week who are fans of the Habs, the Leafs, the Bruins & the Sabres & all of them said that Ottawa has a very good young team who will be a playoff & contending team in future. All of them also said how good Tkachuk & Stutzle are & the Hab fan was especially pissed that Montreal didn't draft Tkachuk. Outside of this board most people who have watched hockey, played hockey & been around hockey for most of their lives view Ottawa as an up & coming team who will only get better.

 

[Ice-Tray]

Why waste your ‘breath’, haters gonna hate, no matter how many times they are shown to be inaccurate, overzealous, petty, or just straight up wrong.

Same chumps will post the same stuff when the next manager and coach take over. Its just what they need to do, and it has little to do with the team, or sports. It’s who they are.

We have a good young team that played a solid game against the B’s last night.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Really
if sports is on TV, I’m a happy camper.

If you’re team is playing you’re always like “hurray forntrying!”

Nope he’s a “fast fornicator” when the team is playing…

You live in a fantasy world and you mostly just try to copy what I say. The reason you reply to everything what I say is proof that the truth actually hit you hard, that it triggers you

The Teams record, and most importantly their on Ice performances back me up

and really backed me up when the pressure is really really on

 

[Ice-Tray]

Oh look, the ‘gave up in November’ crew is posting again all of a sudden…

At least the few of you have found each other online. It’s kind of endearing actually.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Imagine having standards for a team that had a massive firesale and has picked high for six years.

Well we haven’t picked THAT high. 4th 19th 3/5 10th.

First of all… you actually know a Sabres fan? I’ve never met a Sabres fan in person.

The Sens are actually poised to make a big jump if they play their cards right.

*Montreal is a dumpster fire.
*Toronto needs severe reinforcement on the blue line and in net. And with so much money tied up in their forwards, it may not be coming soon.
*Detroit is in the middle of a rebuild, but behind Ottawa.
*Buffalo (see: Montreal).
*Boston ~ our top two centers could retire after this season or next. They will be very tough to replace.
*Florida is very unreliable in the playoffs. A beefed up Senators squad could definitely dispose of them.
*Tampa Bay has had a great run and I still think they’re the team to beat in our division. But they can only decline while the Senators improve.

Don’t think I missed anyone.

If the new ownership puts the right people in place, the Sens could move into the top spot in the Atlantic more easily than most people think.

Just a (friendly) rival fan’s opinion.

also had picks #4, #7, and now perhaps another top 10.

That they were used to get NHL stars should mean increased expectations, not lesser standards.

My expectations next year are high. No matter the picks you think we got. We didn’t select perfect players.
