GDT: GAME 75 | Lightning @ Senators | Get Back on Track Edition | Thu Apr 3 2025, 7PM | RDS2, TSN5

No interest in calling penaltoes on the lightning I see

That was a good kill by Linus on the PK, but we are way too passive. Pressure them a bit, or its eventually lights out against an All-star PP they have.

Lol, my stream froze clearly showing 6 Lightning on the ice

 

[Sensrule]

Buffalo having 2 thirty goal scorers and being near the bottom of the league is something. makes it even more frustrating that they swept us

 

[Micklebot]

Did I hear that right, Paul erased by Chabot?

 

[Dionysus]

Outplayed, but come out with the lead. Will take it.

 

[Boud]

Ullmark looked real good in that period.

Our PK remains an issue. Puck on our sticks 2-3 times and can’t get it out. Need to work on our urgency in those situations instead of extending zone play and not allowing line changes. This is going to cost you more often than not.

Here's to hoping the boys bring their spines tonight.

I'm also recommending we turn this into a Powder themed GDT, a 1995 classic that Ebert gave 2/4 stars. In his review, he wrote that Powder' has all of the elements of a successful fantasy, and none of the insights. It's a movie where intriguing ideas lie there on the screen, jumbled and unrealized. It leads up to bathos, not pathos, because not enough attention was paid to the underlying truth of the characters. They're all just pawns for the plot gimmicks."

I haven't a clue about what you are referring to - first I've ever heard of it and I am usually plugged in. Mysteries abound. Sounds like it might need some gummies or inhaling, not that I would ever do that, to improve the experience. I will of course blame you when the cops chase me running naked down the street naked with lightning bolts shooting out my ass!

We had our moments, actually had more 5v5 high danger chances though they had the best chances.

The pk didn't look great though, tbay got some favourable bounces to keep the pressure on but we were too passive

Outplayed, but come out with the lead. Will take it.

Kinda hard to judge considering they had 2 PPs and we had none. It was a pretty even period 5v5.

 

[WallyD]

Great minds, buddy. Great minds.

You do realize the end of that saying is "... and fools seldom differ"? I am not casting aspersions in any way... of course!

The problem is we kept giving them lanes to drive the net, we got to tighten up if we want to win

 

[WallyD]

I’ll be there again tonight unfortunately.

Enjoy Eeyore!

I feel like when we're healthy, Amadio is wasted on the 4th line with Highmore and Gaudette.

Anyone know what the plan is for MacEwan? I find when he's at his best and moving his feet and finishing hit hits, he's much more effective than Highmore...and big bodies that can skate are valuable come playoff time.

I really hope our 4th line is MacEwan and Cousins and Amadio come playoff time. We need a 4th line that can finish their hits...and I think they're talented enough to keep the puck down low on a cycle.

Scratch Gaudette and Highmore.

Amadio was starting to produce then got moved down to the 4th line. Now that he's back on the 3rd line with Pinto and Greig, they find their magic again. Realize they didn't produce the last game, but everyone was having trouble scoring and Ullmark wasn't very good. When Brady returns, I hope it's Zetterlund that goes back to the 4th line. He hasn't produced since moving up in the line-up, Stu hasn't been great either playing with him. Also, during the playoffs, would make no sense to put 2 players with playoff experience on the 4th line (Amadio/Cousins). Green wouldn't be that dumb, would he?

This guy from Sport Logic looks like they tried to cast someone to play Marc Methot in a movie and got pretty close but not quite there.

Be interesting to see if the main guys can man up with Brady out.

Need more net front presence and more accurate shooting. So many shots from the point that either miss or hit a body, killing the possession time.

[CorrectOpinion]

Does anyone else hate Methot as a commentator?

 

[WallyD]

Another penalty? Yeesh

Guy lies on the ice after a hit and Sens score. Bolts have conferences with Refs. Pretty obvious anything and everything was going to result in "game management", an automatic make up call! So f***ing predictable when only a few teams in the league get any respect.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Sitting here at game, thought there would be more fans tonight. Go Sens

I like his input especially when it's more on-ice centric. I think he brings some good analysis from that perspective. I once walked by him at the game and he was enthusiastically explaining to someone about how the systems worked.

It’ll be packed Saturday afternoon

Need someone to show the refs the replay so they can realize they got duped by an embellishing whiner.
