GDT: Gravy Boat Armada (sens) vs Islanders, 5:00PM EST, TSN5

Yes, this was a good game. If they keep playing like this, they'll win alot more than they lose. Deal with it.

No u

 

[UglyPuckling]

I agree. That's why it's important that they keep playing like this. Focus on the process, not the result.

Sure, but they also need the results. That’s imperative.

Sorokin didn’t steal the game. He let in 2. Forsberg gave them the game

 

[Melgene Eunyk]

As soon as Palmieri received the puck, Forsberg has to come out.

He froze and sat there deep in his crease and gave him the corners.

Yup. He gave them the whole far side. This isn't a unique on him, either. When he's playing like shit (the usual), he has god awful positioning and gets picked apart

 

[Tundraman]

Forsberg used up his season's good games when he had 2 early shutouts. He's just not a reliable NHL level goalie. What's the sense of playing him when he can't win a low shot gift game to give Ullmark a rest. Dorion let slip away young studs much better than him and signed or kept the worse of the bunch. At least with a younger guy there is room and hope for improvement Forsberg has peaked and it's low.

Headline: winning games is all that matters.

More at 6

I am not sure what's wrong with the kid.

He needs to play with guys who can get him the puck in the places he can score, he’s shooting everything recently but not from places you see Shane Pinot score from. Slot shits are his bread and butter and he needs a wingman to help him, now that Norris is Tkachuk and a Batherson feeding him he’s taken off. Put Pinto with Timmy

Gregor - Timmy - Pinto
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Giroux - Greig - Amadio
Cousins - Ostapchuk - Gaudette

 

[Loach]

Welp. Back up the "games they need to win in row" counter. 5 games.

Guess we need Ullmark to be stout and play every game. Or, we could find other ways of winning as well.

 

[Senscore]

The list of untouchable assets should be like one guy at this point.

I too want to see Pinto on Timmy's wing. If anyone will get him going, it's Jimmy

It would be great if we didn’t have “must win” games every week this early in the season, but this is what happens when you can’t muster up the tiniest amount of killer instinct. Wednesday is a must-win game because we sure as hell aren’t beating Carolina on Friday.

They should probably start Forsberg in that one and just toss it since we know he'll play 1 of the 2. At least give the boys a chance in Pittsburgh.

 

[SensFactor]

Greig completely invisible again....

0's across the board and -1, not even a single hit

Well if we play like tonight then no other way is needed lol.

That’s not how goaltenders play on the PK. Not that Ottawa had a similar look on the PP tonight but Sorokin was well within the crease on Ottawa’s chances. The two looks Pinto had in the third, it wasn’t about getting to the top of the crease just minimal movement and being square.

We should raise a banner.

You really appreciate how fast and dynamic Timmy is live in person. Guy was everywhere.

Thought Kleven was solid tonight.

 

[Knave]

Cannot keep losing to teams worse than they are like the Islanders and Ducks once already.

Whether it's goaltending or inability to generate a good scoring chance... this team has given up so many points.

If this is supposed to be a team fighting for a playoff spot you have to win against the Ducks on Wednesday. They are not the better team.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Another Sunday ruined really makes you question why we do this to ourselves

 

[SensHulk]

I think everyone will focus in on Forsberg, but reality is we should have buried way more of our chances, and been able to kill at least one penalty today. Getting too cute with excessive passes, hardly any dirty goals being scored

 

[Relapsing]

Well I for one have a healthy amount of self loathing, so...

He’s playing the best hockey of his career.
