GDT: Leafs at Senators - 7PM - CBC, SMO, SNW, SNP - Auston's nose comes to town to snort 3 lines of B-Sens D

[Micklebot]

Both Belleville Coaches think he's the most ready. He is not going to wow you he has zero flash.. Need to be patient

JBD has looked good to me, been better handling guys along the boards than in the past.

Holden and the 4th line have been awful, also haven't been impressed with Gambrell

 

[jg729]

Dylan Ferguson and Kevin Mandolese were the 2 best goalies this year

 

[SensFactor]

Batherson is literally useless out there. I wouldn't mind moving that contract before it expires. He's one and done all over the ice. No intensity and loses puck battles consistently.

 

[Bileur]

What’s the ice time right now and why don’t I see brannstrom more?


Man doesn’t do anything.

Not much happens against him either though.

Outside of a couple games I don't see anything in Gambrell. He doesn't bring you that bottom 6 energy you'd expect. Can't generate anything and nothing special defensively. At least Watson hits, is good on the PK, chips in here and there and takes a beating for the team with his face

 

[Race Dawg]

Remember when we used to beat the Leafs all the time in the regular season?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Yeah I don’t see that. Not the best passer. Doesn’t really evade forecheckers. Against the rush doesn’t do much

He was supposed to be our 13th or 14th forward this year which would have been fine, but he's played something like 55 games.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Gambrell is like a 13th forward caliber player. Depth on the team and injuries result in more ice time than he should get. We have Gauthier as another 13th forward now as gifted as he may be.

 

[MrGuyPerson]

Everyone sucks but Sanderson

The first line looks pretty solid too. The goals didn't go in, but they had some great chances. Pinto also looks pretty solid. Outside of that yeah....not great

Amazing to me that Gambrell and Brown are playing ahead of that gifted beast ...

 

[SensontheRush]

Fuuuuuuuuu

Gotta respect the power of the new dad energy.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Posters like you that run out young talent and then act baffled when they succeed once they are seasoned a la Gustavsson.

You've railed every single young guy we had and then started preaching their tune once they got better.

If they are not playing well they get called out simple as that. Soogard has been trash the last few months. He looks lost in net, out of position, shocked by every shot coming up. 6'7 for nothing.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I’m not getting the JBD complaints. He’s 0% flashy but he’s come as billed.

He's been fine. Steady in position.. Solid defensively, good decisions .. that's what we want from him at this stage.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Of course he's playing poorly.

He's 22. Who's the last 22 year old goalie to play lights out at 22?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Amazing to me that Gambrell and Brown are playing ahead of that gifted beast ...

Oh yah Brown too ... that's 3 guys that should barely see the ice. I think Gauthier's defensive awareness keeps him out.. but he can be effective on the forecheck

 

[MrGuyPerson]

Yeah I don’t see that. Not the best passer. Doesn’t really evade forecheckers. Against the rush doesn’t do much

I've noticed brannstrom a lot. He is pretty clearly the sens 3rd best D in this game behind zub who is likely 2nd. Sanderson 1st.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

That's the first time I've heard Kastelics name tonight

 

[starling]

Dylan Ferguson and Kevin Mandolese were the 2 best goalies this year

Only because they didn't have enough games to prove they are not NHL goalies either.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

When our top 6 isn't clicking on all cylinders .. driving possession.. the Sens do very little. The depth just isn't there and the Leafs are better even down 2 very good players

 

[Hale The Villain]

Why the hell did we acquire Patrick Brown? What is he supposed to bring to the bottom 6 that we're missing?

DJ's obsession with no talent grinders is maddening

 

[Race Dawg]

Ottawa stopped skating again. Way too inconsistent...

 

[Micklebot]

Good job ref ... Pucks lose, but let's kill the play

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Idiot Gambrell giving the Leafs momentum after that breakaway save

 

[DrEasy]

Quick whistle of course.
