Is Ottawa good?

[Peasy]

I think losing their #2C and #3C for an extended time (deja vu anyone?) is going to hurt for sure.

Not many teams can replace two of the top 3 centers with depth. The next stretch will be telling.

At this point you should assume you will lose your #2C for extended periods of time every year.

This. It’s more shocking if he plays 60+ games.

Out scored 23-8 over their 5 game losing streak.

Travis Green was not a serious coaching hire.

Seemed fine until they lost 2 of their top 3 centres, and now Tkachuk.
It’s like removing Hischier and Mercer from the Devils, then add in Bratt.

 

[Boud]

Anyone expecting Ottawa to win without Tkachuk, Norris, Pinto and some games without Jensen against Tampa twice, Panthers, Jets are just not serious people.

These were automatic losses.

They were playing pretty well with most of their lineup intact.

I'm by no means a Green fan, but losing your 2C, 3C, Brady Tkachuk, and your goalies imploding is pretty tough to overcome.

Well that might prove to be the end of them. Maybe not.

I think they would have won a lot more earlier in the year if they had a better head coach. Same with Detroit.

Though I think Ottawa is better than Detroit.

He sucks as a head coach, but the recent injuries may have done them in.

Sens do have the easiest SOS remaining and in this 5 game loss they had to face 4 ridiculously tough opponents. So we'll see what happens. Detroit and Columbus games are critical. If the Sens somehow win all in regulation, they'll probably get in. I do agree that hiring Green was not a good idea, but he isn't the worst coach out there.

100% agree.
