Games tonight affecting Sens

[Nova Stutzlia]

Interesting:

Just tuned in to the Edmonton-Tampa Bay game and caught the the end of Oh Canada,
and noticed a guy in a TBL jersey obviously singing along, and he wasn't the only one- saw a bunch more also in TBL jerseys singing Oh Canada as well.

Minnesota better have their shit together tonight.

Also, f*** you Dallas. Be better.

That's what happens hen you lose 4 in a row. Sens better get healthy fast here or it will be another season without playoff hockey.

Next time don’t lose 4 straight games in the thick of a playoff race.

 

[SensFactor]

Yah maybe we be sellers at the deadline...every possible bad outcome is happening around the league...

Even Detroit is now tied 2 2... Bye bye playoffs

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Guys wanted to play meaningful games and are bunch of p***yes with injuries

 

[PlayOn]

At least Boston blew their lead, albeit in OT.

If Detroit loses that would help too.

They have nothing to sell. Maybe Giroux, I guess.

I probably wouldn't bother adding though.

The team goes on a losing stream every time we get close to a playoff spot. Keith needs to call out our players if he wants us to make it.

God f***ing damnit.

This is ridiculously frustrating. Tomorrow is gonna be a tough game to win too.

As soon as this group sniffs the post season, collapse.

These guys are gonna need to go on one hell of a win streak to get into the post season.

Jets have won 10 straight. 10. It is possible we are without Norris, Pinto & Tkachuk again. We are in trouble.

[Pierre from Orleans]

Typical Ottawa, when the going gets tough the Senators get going.

Need a few long winning streaks to end the last quarter and a bit.

 

[SensHulk]

No other team seems to string together 4 regulation losses in a row. 0 points…maybe the habs earlier and that effectively sunk them

 

[maclean]

Did every single result really go against us? fuuu

 

[Boud]

Playoff position no longer in ours hands.

Next 2 games against Winnipeg and Caps.

Might be missing Brady, Norris and/or Pinto.

 

[Stylizer1]

Rangers and Bruins turning it up, and the Sens are just trying to maintain.

Yep, I took a quick look at the standings and we aren’t in a wild card spot. Not real surprising given how things have gone more recently.

No idea what Staois will do, but I’d be nervous about a knee jerk reaction that overly aggressively tries to salvage the season. The best path or event to get back into the playoffs again is to get our players (forwards) healthy again.

I see some threads about trading both Tkachuk & Norris in a package. I guess that’s not impossible, but I think trades of that magnitude are pretty rare. Timing is going against the Senators though as Brady’s NMC kicks in next season. Tough situation. The other thing I’d wonder about is selling low (dumping him) on Norris. I’d wonder how things would look after a bit more time let’s say if he stays healthy, plays the remaining games this season and is productive?

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Hmmm next two games looking like impossible to win. But this the chance for players other then Stu and Sanderson to redeem them self. I think the upcoming 10 games will really decide our fate. Am fine with Brady not playing since his impact on our games is not as big as our media are trying to sell. Pinto back or at some extent even Norris change conpletely the look of current roster..

Let's not forget before the 4 games losing streak. Brady, Bath,Giroux were complete passengers for at least 15-20 games. We are just getting the rrsult from it now. We had completr control of our fate didn't create a safe gap. It's not only on those 3 players obviously but thse guy are half of ur top6 and know we have the other half injured and they just can't step up.


Coaching staff also have trouble to adjust teamplay or tactics 5vs5 or in the PP. We didn't see any improvement there offensively.
It's the time to find solution and execute them. We are still in it and it's the first these guys have really a chance to make it .They had to easy I think and though they were good enough to match good teams which is not the case recently.

Schedule suddenly not looking so easy. Adversity piling on. Will be pretty impressive if they can fight through this.
