Is Ottawa good?

If Stützle at his worse and slumping is a 75 point player and his team can win games in the mean time, why wouldn’t a senators fan be fine with it?
I guess the question would be whether it's a slump or his norm.

This "Haha, Stutzle isn't actually that good" gotcha moment from reading the stats page isn't going to impress anyone who actually watches the games.
You are making up things that no one's said to become upset about.

If you have one good season, and one bad season, it is entirely right to question which one is the norm. I agree with you there, so maybe slumping wasn’t the right word.

I was more so pointing out that I’m happy with the fact that we can win games without our top four forwards being effective, and even though it’s not a sustainable recipe I’m glad it’s kept us in the race winning these 2-0/2-1 games.
 
What a wild, entertaining win over the Capitals that was. A sell out, and it felt like it, there was lots of energy in the building.

Sens haters will be in shambles about this one.

I wore a Chabot jersey, and he was 1st star!

Are you 14 years old? ( i know you're at least 50)
 
Sens have been one of the best teams in the league for the last month and still only have a 2pt cushion on a playoff spot. The east is sooo tight.
Yeah, but they have 2 games in hand.

By P%, they are closer to 1st place in the division than they are to being out of the playoffs.
 
They looked good tonight, but Minny didn't play well (19 giveaways). Let's see how things go. Some bigger divisional games are coming up. Good to see offense get going.
 
I've seen you post before and I think you're a good poster in general, but on this particular play Marino did this all by himself. There is absolutely no reason for him to come all the way over to the other side that far beyond the centerline.

Stutzle might be good at drawing defenders, I don't know. 100% agree that he's good, maybe elite, at creating something from nothing. But imo this wasn't the best example to illustrate this particular point, that's all I'm saying

when players with as much skill and speed as Stutzle are coming at defenders it tends to confuse them.

players can't give stutzle too much room and they are also hesitant about being aggressive because he can make them look silly, so a lot of times you see plays exactly like that. where he makes defenders get stuck in limbo and do stupid things.
 
The Sens are getting way underrated. That is a good team with solid goaltending. They are 100% making the playoffs, and don’t be surprised to see a good run.

They have figured out how to play defense. Like really really good defense. Like so good that they might need to dial it back a bit and cheat a bit more on offense to get that perfect balance locked in.

But point being is they still have enough elite talent to score while playing stingy defense. And they have elite goaltending now.

This is NOT the same Senators team of years past anymore. That much is clear asf after 50 games.

I’ve been waiting for Ottawa to cool off and come back down to earth but it’s time to admit this is who they are. I can’t see them missing the playoffs at this point they are just too good this year. Hopefully they can continue this next season too. I’d love nothing more than to see Ottawa, Montreal, and Detroit rebuilds all flourish and the division turn into a massive rivalry like the old days of Colorado/Detroit/Dallas.

I won’t be surprised to see the senators finish second in the Atlantic. That is a damn good team over there. I think they easily beat the leafs and the Bruins in a playoff series. I am a leafs fan saying this as well.
