GDT: HABS vs SENS - HAMMOND TIME! EDITION - FEB. 18th - 7PM

[Icelevel]

I don't know if anything feels better than watching Methot hipcheck Subban...

a cowen subban no gloves dance might do it.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Hoffman would probably have 25 goals already if he had been on the PP all year.

 

[Deku]

Nice pass by Bobby to spring Hoff there.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Exciting 1st period. Good offense by both sides.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Most fun I've had watching this team in months.

Now, can we skip the 2nd period please?

 

[EK47]

entertaining game so far!

 

[NilssonTheWall]

Why haven't we signed Hoffman to 1 year @ 3m? I don't get it, should have been a done deal by now.

 

[Deku]

Love the energy in that period, hopefully we can keep it up for once.

 

[BigBush*]

Hoffman would probably have 25 goals already if he had been on the PP all year.

Well if you adjusted his current PP goal pace he'd still be at 20

 

[OmniSens]

Liking Hammond so far.

 

[EK47]

I'm really not sure who is actually worse Gryba or Phillips..

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Why haven't we signed Hoffman to 1 year @ 3m? I don't get it, should have been a done deal by now.

Because the team probably wants him signed for more than one year?

He's an RFA, there is literally ZERO rush to sign him.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Liking Hammond so far.

Perhaps, if he continues to play well, he may replace Lehner, who is prone to letting in soft goals.

I'm saying this from an outsider's perspective. What would the Sens' fan's perspective be on this?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Why haven't we signed Hoffman to 1 year @ 3m? I don't get it, should have been a done deal by now.

Because he'll want more than one year and so will the team

He'll want 2 or 3 while the Sens will want 4 or 5

 

[NilssonTheWall]

Because the team probably wants him signed for more than one year?

He's an RFA, there is literally ZERO rush to sign him.

Makes sense. Hope they sign him sooner than later long term.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Hoffman is really getting the boring hockey player interview skill locked down.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Perhaps, if he continues to play well, he may replace Lehner, who is prone to letting in soft goals.

I'm saying this from an outsider's perspective. What would the Sens' fan's perspective be on this?

Far too early

It's all about consistency, let's see how Hammond will handle the string of games he's going to get

Players playing well at first isn't anything new or surprising

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Well if you adjusted his current PP goal pace he'd still be at 20

That's if you only look at numbers and don't watch him play.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Perhaps, if he continues to play well, he may replace Lehner, who is prone to letting in soft goals.

I'm saying this from an outsider's perspective. What would the Sens' fan's perspective be on this?

Literally 0 chance of that happening. I'm glad Hammond is playing well but he's a journeyman goalie who's below average in the AHL. Montreal didn't really do much in the first anyway.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Hey guys u hear the rsu?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Far too early

It's all about consistency, let's see how Hammond will handle the string of games he's going to get

Players playing well at first isn't anything new or surprising

Who knows? He can become the next Dubnyk this season.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Literally 0 chance of that happening. I'm glad Hammond is playing well but he's a journeyman goalie who's below average in the AHL. Montreal didn't really do much in the first anyway.

Does Ottawa have another budding goaltender, other than Lehner?

 

[BigBush*]

That's if you only look at numbers and don't watch him play.

He hasn't been great on the PP, scores a lot of his goals off the rush.

Not saying he shouldn't be on the PP, but just because he's our top scorer doesn't mean he should get loads of PP time

 

[The Lewler]

Literally 0 chance of that happening. I'm glad Hammond is playing well but he's a journeyman goalie who's below average in the AHL. Montreal didn't really do much in the first anyway.

I agree.

This is literally Hammond's cup of coffee in the show.

I'm glad he's giving it a good go so far, hope he soaks it all in.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Does Ottawa have another budding goaltender, other than Lehner?

Not really. Hogberg is a bit of an unknown at this point (at least to me). I imagine they'll draft another goalie this draft.
