Not good enough - no playoffs again!

[Samboni]

As the the team slips back into the familiar November pattern, it’s clear that this team is just not good enough to win consistently. Nothing in the cupboards to be excited about either. Staios has his work cut out for himself.

3-5-1 in November

I’m a huge Sens doomer, which nowadays simply means I’m a realist. However, I’ll go full bipolar if they win on Thursday.

They need to make a trade or acquisition on D immediately. Someone who will annihilate the opposition if they approach anywhere near the front of our net.

Otherwise another extremely long and futile remaining season is upcoming.
The other teams get a free pass to our net on a regular basis....see the play tonight where Nugent Hopkins went untouched past 3 Senators..first Greig, then Sandy, and finally Zub and tipped the shot in past Ullmark.

This Team is a serious joke!

The wheels have officially come off which was just a matter of time. Sad it couldn't last till Christmas break though

We have virtually the same record as we did last year at the same point in the season.

I would say it’s been a clear disappointment now. I was on the fence on what to think and they can turn it around but this is not what I expected… and my expectations weren’t high.

For all the laughing this offseason, Montreal is only 1 pt behind with one more game played.

If Sens fans haven’t been « humbled » by now… I don’t know what will

Got a feeling Brady Tkachuk is playing his final 64 games for Ottawa if they don’t make the playoffs.

Don’t like what I’m hearing

Defense really isn't our issue at all. We need better finishers.

From what dudes like Methot are saying, if the Sens traded Chabot, Norris, Batherson or Pinto the fanbase wouldn’t be that upset wearing our 7 years no playoffs suckiest team ever shirts.

They won’t trade Timmy, why would you?

Brady is the guy. He’s a one foot out the door guy and we all know it. Like EK he has a feeling of being too big for this market.

How do you roll it back again with Brady after 8 years no playoffs. They can’t remove November from the calendar, there will be a November 2025

Brady deserves out, and he’ll want out. 8 years of this is a long time

We've sucked long enough that if Brady wanted out, I really wouldn't care tbh.

Players like Alfie, Karlsson, etc all had good times attached and it was legit gut wrenching to see guys like that leave.

I'm not advocating for trading anyone, I like Brady, Stutzle etc, but I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep about anyone being shipped out from a squad that is approaching a decade of losing.

Brady is not an Ottawanian like Alfie and Ek were. He’s still a hired gun to many in the community, great guy, but the bond isn’t as deep as with the other two and I don’t think the exit will hurt anywhere close to EK or Alfie did, those two belonged to us, they left home. Brady never gave us the impression he was destined to be here like the other two, it’s not home for him, it’s a work place and we know it.

I don’t think fans will be as upset with the Brady trade as the team fears - we are a beaten down group that’s disengaged and burned and we’ve seen it before, it’ll suck for sure, but i honestly think it wont be that bad.

Brady always had the feel of a University girlfriend to me, you love her but you know soon enough she’s going to go back to her real life in the town she came from and where she belongs.
