Is Ottawa good?

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sens have defense covered to this point.

They did score 3 goals on the 5 minute major, but they still had 3 goals previously and if their PP can get close to what it was the first month/5 weeks Ottawa can be a trap team for whomever they play in the playoffs.

Ottawa can be a trap team for whomever they play in the playoffs.

Let’s get there first. Two big games this week against TBL on Tuesday and Thursday. Could go a long way in determining who gets a top 3 spot in the Atlantic.

A bad couple of weeks and you think you're out of it.

Meanwhile teams like the surging Islanders and Detroit with the coaching change have come back from the dead.

I think the standings are going to be extremely volatile for quite awhile.

 

[Akrapovince]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

I thought honestly when Sens were holding teams without a shot for 20+ minutes before a few times early in the season it was a fluke, but they might be smothering defensively and have goaltending to back it up.

As a Leafs' fan I'd say that Ottawa is a good team and am afraid of them passing the Leafs in the standings.

It's entirely possible. I'd rather avoid that first round match up, as a Leafs fan. It'd be a lot of fun, but these forums would be something else.

 

[Senscore]

Ok I see what's happening here

 

[Sticksandsun]

Starting to think I take Sens over Leafs in a 1st round matchup

 

[PaulD]

Sens and Panthers best teams in the Atlantic

 

[swiftwin]

Took them a couple months to get Travis Green's system, but they've been consistently very good since December.

They also have the 2nd easiest schedule for the remainder of the season (by strength of schedule), and are tied for the 3rd most home games left. They legitimately have a chance at taking the division.

 

[BelovedIsles]

All I’ve read on these boards is how horrible Green is. Gotta give him some credit for culling together a young team.

 

[Devonator]

Looking very very good lately....it must be nice for the Sens fans.....you guys have been waiting quite awhile to see your team turn it around.

...these Forums would absolutely go Nuclear...especially if the Sens took it...

Alfredsson, Martin, Staios deserve a lot of credit too. Imo it's a very tight group vision they have about how they want the team to play.

I’m glad Ottawa is *finally having some success.

Yea, we cheer for teams because want to see excellence.

So Dorion and Melnyk days were torture. It's hard to cheer for an organization that you can't respect.

But now? Sens back to being a classy organization.

 

[RedHawkDown]

They’re legit. I hate it but they’re legit. I think they pass the leafs too. If Stutzle gets going watch the f*** out

 

[SensFactor]

Fingers crossed

 

[Lampedampe]

Yeaaah, sadly. It's amazing what decent goaltending can do.

I hope my Red Wings can be good enough aswell, so we get a Wings vs Sens playoff series soon.

I think there’s a decent chance that both Ottawa and Detroit make the playoffs this year.

I love the Jackets cinderella story and I want to see them make it given the circumstances but I also think that realistically they will take a bit of a step back with all the injuries and some unsustainably good shooting %.

Unless there’s a massive resurgence from Boston or New York it seems likely to me that Tampa gets in and then Ottawa and Detroit take the two other spots.

3 big games, 3rd one is against FLO

 

[PatrickMcC]

I guess the question would be whether it's a slump or his norm.


You are making up things that no one's said to become upset about.

Your gaslight game is a B- at best

 

[Contenderorpretender]

I'm just looking forward to seeing brady finally play a playoff game. Either he'll be fantastic or a loose cannon, which would also be fantastic

Regardless it’s peak entertainment

 

[newfy]

I know there's been a lot of back and forth between sens fans and wings fans the last couple years, but one thing that might unite the fan based is that they're both breathing down the Leafs neck right now. There's enough time left that both teams miss playoffs still obviously, but the Leafs don't have some insurmountable gap in the standings either....
