GDT: Montréal Canadiennes at Ottawa Senators - 7PM - SN, CITY, or TVAS - Rivalrous Respekful Rivals Rebel Rousing Ruckus at the CTC

You could see that Ullmark was not his usual self. He looked like Korpisalo damn it. Then, the team looked horrific. Passes were not getting through, they were last on the puck. It was ugly. Missing those three last night rendered this game predictable. I told my son last night as we sat in our seats, that Ottawa is going to do poopoo.

Ole is the dumbest f***ing chant in the NHL bar none.

Habs' fan here. I could not agree more. So f***ing cringe.

Ullmark has lost his last 4 games ( I included the loss to Finland in the 4 Nations Cup). He has lost his last 5 in a row if you count the Edmonton game where he got injured on December 22.

I wonder if he is still injured slightly?
If he pulls up lame in the next few games with a back issue then obviously his back still hasn't healed and he is still injured.

Or is it just rust?

I also predicted we would lose last night's game I said we would lose 4 to 2.

 

[robsenz]

Only Tyler Boucher can save us now!

 

[SensFactor]

Don't waste assets on this team... Unless you mean grabbing guys off waivers or making a call up from Belleville or something.

Would be insanely stupid to waste draft picks and miss the playoffs.

You're a buyer when you're confident in the playoffs. Not when you're tailspinning out of the playoffs and haven't made it in 8 years.

Sleepy Steve cant sit on his hands and wait till we miss the playoffs. We were playing 11/7 again tonight. We are 0-3 now doing this. Go look around the league for a depth NHL calibre forward. You don't only make moves when you are confident you will make the playoffs, that's the wrong way to be a GM. Not saying we trade major assets or picks but cant sit idle and hope for the best. Especially when you havent made the playoffs in 7 years.

 

[SensFactor]

Batherson will not be here next year. Soft as shit. Horrific defensively.

This.100% this. Everyone after Brady, but Bath hasnt done anything for weeks. Lazy, poor defensively, losing battles, collecting his paycheck... he needs to go

 

[Relapsing]

Well that loss still feels brutal the next morning. Lots of blame to go around right now.

We are up the creek if we don't figure this out.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I bailed on the 5th goal and missed this.
for Greig here



No Pinto,Norris,Tkachuk .. We all should have had 0 expectations to get any points out of this one .. 4L in a row went from 3rd in the Division to the 2nd WC spot with Columbus an eyelash from passing us and have a ton of cap space to add. This team will need our best players to elevate their games from here to the finish line and they will need to stay healthy.

We needed Ullmark to be excellent at minimum vs poor tonight

 

[aragorn]

And that is what the team looks like without Brady, soft & gets pushed around. Not a good look when the only guy that hits & willing to drop the gloves is Greig. Oh yea, there is no fighting in hockey.

I like Brady, but our team often looks like that with him in the lineup too.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Crazy that Crosby is playing. He was injured before the “4 Nations Face Off”. Injured for every game of the “4 nations face off”. Had a very emotional win in the “4 nations face off” and is simply….Playing after all that?

We didn’t get pushed around lol. The Canadians are not physical.

If Ullmark and batherson are half ass that game is like the most boring 2-2 hockey game any of us have ever seen. Neither team could complete a pass

Well. Thing is 2 of our best players Last night gave them goals.

We likely are better last night if batherson simply wasn’t playing.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Batherson has always trained with Crosby and MacKinnon and that crew. Like do they just pick on him the entire time on the ice. He’s several degrees softer than any of them

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I recommend getting back on the meds you got off a year or so ago

 

[Xspyrit]

Is it the Sens players who sell their tickets to visiting fans?

 

[Cosmix]

When you're captain decides not to play when you're trying to hold on a playoff spot it sends an awful signal to the rest of the team and to the fans

I think he has an injury that prevents him from playing well so I am not going to make negative comments about him.

Getting outhit 31-21 by one of the softest teams in the league too.

Staios acquired some vets to help lead the team: Perron, Amadio. Where were they last evening?

Good for Greig. Where ere the other Senator's players? AWOL.

 

[Emrasie]

Guys I thought there was going to be a lot of French Sens fans because if the news of us playing games in Quebec. wtf happened

The Ole thing is so dumb I've never understood it. It has nothing to do with Quebec or the French language. It's just copied from Mexican/Latin soccer fans.

Just as cringe as when the Minnesota Vikings did the Viking clap stolen from the Iceland national soccer team after euro 2016

It's very common in Spain and France too as players keeps the ball, not only in Soccer.

 

[Cosmix]

Staious should have added some muscle last summer instead of old farts!

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don’t understand. Do you disagree? Last night was winnable. Ullmark didn’t show up.

Batherson gifted them 2 scoring chances.

No disagreement on Batherson's blunders. Should have gone 10 7 after that

Especially when you havent made the playoffs in 7 years.

I am not supportive of trades for short term gains; we need to take a long term approach to acquire players who will be good in the future (next 5 years) not just this season to make the playoffs. Dorion mucked things up by spending draft picks for short term improvement and screwed this team up.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

It was some antics to end the game when it was out of reach. Where was Greig before this?

I cannot disagree with you that he should have been playing physical before he did this. The whole team should have been playing better.

 

[JJ68]

Habs' fan here. I could not agree more. So f***ing cringe.

why's that? Only other chants you hear in hockey are "go team go" or Let's go Team"

Habs fans like to sing.
