Jack Johnson numbersPUts him at -15 for the season, which is -25 from the team leader.

I'm with him on the premise, though, need to make a defensive move.
Right now it's Drew then everyone else.
But if that vaults you to 2nd in the league, yeah, hard to complain, that means the core is being the core and Quick is a part of it and Kuemper has cleaned up for the most part.
Imo this is deceiving and does not pass the eye test. I think quick is the biggest reason they are 2nd, best example is that Detroit game where the red wings could have easily had 4 or 5 goals...
So I guess since they won 7 in a row, no chance Forbort is going to get a game off to rest?
Hard for me to say "need" all things considered. Would it be nice to upgrade? Of course, but it's not a desperate situation IMO. Sens probably don't even tie it up if it's Carter out there instead of Shore. Team is kicking ass while missing a key piece. Longest winning streak of any team in the league this season, including the Golden Gods in Tampa Bay.
Not bad.
I dunno. Having a 2.2 GA/GP is awfully good, a lot more than the goalie plays a huge part in that. (First in the league, btw)
Folin with another strong game. Muzzin has been getting his mojo back, he's turned it around. The defense has been really good as a whole, occasional brutal turnover nonwithstanding.
I can agree with that. "need" is maybe a strong word. But I don't think anyone would argue this roster's 'weakness' is the ol' Voynov spot. Have anything remotely like that behind Drew and I'd immediately start considering us a top-tier contender.
After another multi point night Doughty is now tied for the lead in defenseman scoring.

That's 1 game out of 30. As I said you can always improve but come on. Also not like Quick isn't part of the team either. Hell, our backup is 5-0-2, pretty sure that has nothing to do with Quick.

He throws temper tantrums, he should keep his mouth shut.....Subban is better!Makes you want to start a main board thread just to watch it eat itself.
It was just an example so yeah it was 1 game. I said quick as he's played the majority of the games and has saved the kings in many of them. Our backup has had a few stinkers even with that record. Fortunate to be playing a ****ty team tonight with all the rebounds. He's been solid in most of his starts though but when's he's off he's way off.
I didn't agree with the urgency of needing a dman, but will be needed before playoffs. I'm just stating the fact that the defensive numbers don't tell the story. Nothing I can can say differently to you if you're sitting there thinking the defense doesn't have glaring holes...
Bouche was crying for a hooking call, problem was the Sens guy was doing the hooking clamping down on Kopi's stick.
That Nick f***ing Leddy is even in the conversation is pretty hilarious. Greatest thing he ever did was deflect the puck into his own net in OT game 7 of the WCF.24 points and a +15. And that's playing all situations, Leddy and Klingberg get less than a minute of PK time per game and leddy in particular basically doesn't start in the defensive zone. Absolutely phenomenal.
Next guy behind him with positive double digit +/- is Pietrangelo--the other current favorite--at 21 pts, +11. Behind that? all the way down to 15 points with Montour's +10 (and I doubt he's getting the tough minutes).
Kuemper and Miller the best backup goalies in the league is you look at the numbers.and LOL. Kuemper is actually above Quick:
I just don't believe they are glaring is all.
I'm sure the sens board will be a good read.
and what's the over/under posts before a sens fan to say "well, EK still deserves the Norris, no matter what Dought ever does!!!! I say 5
