Post-Game Talk: MTL lose 5-2 against OTT

[DemidovSZN]

Yeah, I was thinking Demidov should play with Suzuki & Slafkovsky and move Caufield down the lineup.

I can't see MSL wanting to break up the Dvorak line, yet you can't have Caufield with Laine.

The other option is to move Newhook between Caufield & Slafkovsky and Suzuki moves between Laine & Demidov.

We'll see what MSL does.

Caufield is able to play with other players, we saw it near the beginning of the season playing with Evans so it wouldn’t be an issue if it’s to place Demidov in a better position.

MSL won't be scratching any of the dmen unless it's to rest Savard after a clinch. Xhekaj won't be playing imo.

I disagree , I think savard won’t play tomorrow .
Against a faster leafs team on one angle and to have him rested on Monday in what would become a must win if we have not clinched by then

Lane Hutson says hi.

Not talking about Hutson, we were talking about Jackeye.

 

[DemidovSZN]

Struble will have to learn that as a third pair dman, he will need to use his body and strenght more along the boards or in front of the net. We don’t need another fancy dman. Third pair dmans arr for the trenches. But i guess MSL will give him all the ropes in the world and none to xhekaj. If X would have been the one to get beat in a 1vs1 battle in front of the net like Struble did on the sens first goa, he wouldnt have seen the ice for the rest of the game.

Struble wasn’t on the ice for the first sens goal it was Hutson and Guhle on the ice.

 

[The Last Red]

Not talking about Hutson, we were talking about Jackeye.

He said rookie. I don’t think MSL loves Arber’s non-fighting skills.

 

[Hannibal]

Struble wasn’t on the ice for any goal. The first sens goal it was Hutson and Guhle on the ice.

You blind, bro?

Struble is the one who got beat for the second goal against.

 

[red devil]

Struble wasn’t on the ice for the first sens goal it was Hutson and Guhle on the ice.

Struble lost position on Cozens for the Sens 2nd goal

 

[DemidovSZN]

Struble lost position on Cozens for the Sens 2nd goal

Ya I checked after, it just wasn’t the first one

 

[Forum93]

He said rookie. I don’t think MSL loves Arber’s non-fighting skills.

I said rookie in reference to Jackeye. MSL doesn't like Arber's mistakes but turns a blind eye to everyone else's mistakes, especially Matheson, and Savard who's just too slow.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Struble wasn’t on the ice for the first sens goal it was Hutson and Guhle on the ice.

The first Sens goal was in good part because of Slaf's bad coverage.

 

[Hannibal]

Struble lost position on Cozens for the Sens 2nd goal

Exactly.

Now imagine Xhekaj doing that. The kid never sees the ice again. Struble? No problem kid, get back out there.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Oh and guys...stop talking about Demidov. Geez, I wouldn't even be surprised if he doesn't play at all this year.....Do you seriously think that MSL would play Demidov in a having to win to make it scenarios?

Kapanen has only played 16 games. I don't think it's that hard to take him out for Demidov.

 

[Habssince89]

Pezz needs to sit for Demidov. It completely changes how kapanen can be used and overall it's better than dressing pezz

I'm assuming Heineman takes Pezzetta's spot. I like Kappy and he can play, I still find him a bit weak though.

 

[red devil]

Exactly.

Now imagine Xhekaj doing that. The kid never sees the ice again. Struble? No problem kid, get back out there.

Struble have the least amount of ice time of any of the dman tonight.

 

[Rapala]

They’re burning a year of his ELC . . . not to sit and watch.

Marty was getting short with the media because he's already told them more than once he doesn't know what to expect until he sees the player on the ice and talks with him in person. Seriously how long do you think it will take Marty to understand what he has on hand? I give it 15 minutes max.

 

[Forum93]

Pez broke a finger in his fight. I see him getting in for one last game to reach 200 career games after we clinch.

 

[MasterD]

I'm the number 1 Newhook hater on this board this season, but he's way more likely to help out offensively than Evans.

Yet the stats for the season show otherwise, and Evans has had tougher matchups AND lesser linemates.

Newhook is fast skating dog shit. Oleg Petrov is his ceiling.

 

[Habssince89]

I'm assuming Heineman takes Pezzetta's spot. I like Kappy and he can play, I still find him a bit weak though.

I'm assuming Heineman won't be available. If He is, then yes I agree

 

[MasterD]

I refuse to believe Suzuki/Hutson/Demidov will choke this away for us.

A rookie and an actual 0 games played in NA rookie are part of the 3 guys supposed to drag this team in the playoffs?

That's a team that shouldn't make the playoffs.

 

[417]

I said rookie in reference to Jackeye. MSL doesn't like Arber's mistakes but turns a blind eye to everyone else's mistakes, especially Matheson, and Savard who's just too slow.

Matheson plays a ton and he's not going to scratch him, Savard has a role on the PK as well.

Xhekaj is competing against Struble and the latter has just been better in recent weeks, but his rope is as short as Xhekaj’a is.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

MSL was pretty hard on Struble earlier in the year too and scratched him a lot around Christmas time. These guys are young d, it happens.

 

[The Great Weal]

Did you just choose to close your eyes when I said Suzuki/Hutson? You know, the two who have dragged us into this position in the first place?

 

[Rapala]

The first Sens goal was in good part because of Slaf's bad coverage.

The entire line was soft and dopey including Suzuki. Marty started the wrong line if he was expecting instant energy. I'm not sure why he doesn't remember how our top line struggled against Pinto in previous games but were much better against any of the other lines. Ottawa did a great job of getting their match ups right.

 

[MasterD]

It really doesnt matter what he does, he was put in the doghouse a long time ago and if he doesnt score every game he gets shit on.

You must be talking about Slaf, right? 'Cause that guy has twice the points Newhook has, and people shit on him daily. But we're supposed to be hopeful with Newhook? He's a lost cause. The David Fischer of forwards.
