Travis Green still under the hood of this team in 2 major areas.
Sens dashboard the 2 lights that are flashing red right now are goaltending and their road record, solve either problem and we cruise to the playoffs. If the team don’t solve either goaltending or the road record the season will only be fun for alcoholics.
The thing that drives me crazy about this team the last 7 years is their road record and their general road game and this season we are 1-2, BUT i’m optimistic.
I liked their road game vs Vegas and of course excellent versus Poo-tah. Game management and goaltending were bad last night but weren’t bad like it was the last 7 years cringy bad, to me that’s hockey in 2024. Jacques Martin’s teams wins that game 99 times out of 100, in todays NHL your team can be flat for 55 minutes and can playwell for 5 minutes and win a hockey game because the goalies suddenly all look vulnerable and small and it’s an offence driven league especially early in the season.
Road record, goaltending and game management are the three things flashing red on Travis Greens dashboard right now. Everything else is green - PP, PK, playoff position, offense, goal differential, shot differential, depth, line chemistry (although the top line looks flat to me since pre season even if they are producing), work ethic, size, speed of play, the D.
