[Viletho]

Another 6v5.. Another empty net goal.

Guys I'm calling it right now DJ gets fired tomorrow.

Doubt it.

It was a really strong game, without Zub or Chabot.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It is because this team is once again going to be out of the playoff race by the end of November. 1 win in our last 8 games.

If this team had a better record and what not, these type of loses would be less harder to swallow.

I'm not talking about the bigger picture, I'm talking about tonight's game. I am just as tired of losing as the rest of you.

 

[UglyPuckling]

Every team is better than us.

Who is underestimating?

I estimate we lose going into every game.

Referring to the sentiment and what was said in the summer.

 

[HSF]

It's weird to me that people think this was the same as those seven straight losses. We played as well as you possibly can against a very very good team. Obviously I want DJ fired but I really can't be too hard on the guys on the ice aside from the lack of finish but you can't deny Varlamov put up a brick wall.

sens play decent at home but not good enough to win....One game should not be the reason why DJ gets fired. On the road we have gotten outclassed

This is the third year in a row. Dj has got to go based on the body of his work

 

[ThreeMs]

Tkachuk is on pace for 110 points.

If only the team were on pace for 110 points

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Doubt it.

It was a really strong game, without Zub or Chabot.

So when does this coach finally get a .500 record? Is 4 years still too early?

 

[Sun God Nika]

Sens are 1-2-1 since Pierre said give it 10 more games.

Have had so many close games they "should" have won. Lack of execution and backbreaking mistakes keep costing points.

For the most part I am happy with the teams overall play. The results are terrible though, and it seems to be compounding with players feeling the pressure.

 

[Viletho]

BTW. DJ was saying after 10 games that the next 10 was against no playoff team from last year.

Maybe.. just maybe he should have shut is mouth. The way they are coached, they are again a bottom team..

 

[NyQuil]

Ok?

 

[swiftwin]

This team will easily be over .500 by the end of the season if they keep playing this way.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Same result. The team needs points.

Ok? My point was that there is almost nothing to criticize about this particular game.

 

[Rodzilla]

Can throw out all the deserve to win o meters and fancy stats that you want fact is we have 1 win in our last 8. At some point gotta burry, 1/6 on the PP and the exact same trash as usual. Played well honestly but another L

[Dionysus]

Bad PP, and a dumb penalty by Joseph. Another defeat grasped from the jaws of victory.

I agree that winning is obviously more important. It doesn't mean you need to throw out the fact that we were clearly the better team.

I disagree. Most of the "shoulda wons" weren't that close, and the score flattered us. This was a solid all-around effort against a top team.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Tkachuk is on pace for 110 points.

Hes been playing great and he deserves better, beauty assist tonight. The rest of the team is letting him down.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Buffalo on Wednesday, Anderson at CTC.

Clutch goalie vs. very unclutch coach, I wonder how that goes.

 

[SensHulk]

We have lost:

- Alfie’s final home game with the sens (against the pens)
- Alfie’s return to ottawa game with the red wings
- Alfie’s retirement night (against the isles)
- Alfie’s Jersey retirement night (against the wings)
- Alfie’s HHOF induction night (against the isles)

We never stood a chance…

 

[Senscore]

Brian Kilrea still looking good

I dunno what to tell you dude it's like people aren't reading what I'm saying.

We absolutely were good enough to win this one, and again, DJ deserves to get fired based on the season record.

 

[swiftwin]

Helps that we had a million PPs

Still were the more dominant team 5v5

 

[Rodzilla]

Still lost.

 

[UglyPuckling]

Senators had a lot of PPs. Need to capitalize.
