GDT: Ottawa Senators at Buffalo Sabres - 7PM - TV - Buick Le Sabre Rattling Exhaust

[Micklebot]

Bold strategy to allow him to pick his spot at will.

Both shots should have been saves, no screen 20+ feet out, not pre shot movement,

Credit where it's due Thompson ripped both and I think they were both off the bar and in,

 

[Rodzilla]

Chabot is an extremely lazy defender. If you want to change the culture you have to move him

Always looks like he’s playing beer league out there. Never an extra gear.

If they ever make it in the playoffs he’s not the kind of guy I want at all

Credit due? He was handed two clean shots on goal from prime spots by Ottawa.

 

[The Waffler]

All our guys have to do is win the 2nd period, then they win the game.

That, plus win the 3rd by a lot

 

[Race Dawg]

Hopefully they can get Leevi up to speed.

Call up the ENTIRE Bellevile team. Problem solved...

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Hoorehhh


Build that trade resume

Only to reject all trades.

Because we can see the defense in front of the goalies play like shit.

Plural? I knew they had replaced Pierre Groulx with Zac Bierk, but is there more than one? Regardless, very suspect at this point.

 

[DueDiligence]

Just an easy team to play against.

Sens D is soft as butter. They need a good quality SOB back there.

You should not score from either spot. He didn't play either shot well . He has a good shot ... but Korpisalo has to be out a little further on both

 

[Race Dawg]

good for the tank

I guess there are no issues signing Pinto now.

Now we are in Five Years Of Unparalleled Staios

I'll bite... We still have Bierk right .. DJ's goalie coach they brought in to fix Murray in his 1st year. Pierre fired Groulx because Murray was making him look bad.
Murray was sent to Belleville for playing better coming off Covid.

You should not score from either spot. He didn't play either shot well . He has a good shot ... but Korpisalo has to be out a little further on both

You need the D to step up and actually challenge him.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I can't believe how bad we looked defensively against a team which is nearly as terrible as we are. Hello rock bottom.

 

[Sens9292]

Way to passive as a group back there. Seems like the Sens D pass up every opportunity to lay a hit, stick work and fly bys is the go to

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

thompson is an elite shooter and they gave him plenty of time to just walk in and pick his spot.

chabot and giroux are more to blame than korpisalo.

 

[Puikiou]

To those who defended the Korpisalo signing and didn't see any of this coming:


"It should not be anyone's first reaction to check the buyout options when the team GM signs a player he coveted, vetted and targeted. Yet, here we are.

Brutal deal, but par the course with Dorion. Korpisalo has yet to start 40 NHL games in a season. He has the size on paper and is agile in net, but looks small on the ice. 10 amazing saves in a row followed by a scratch your head "how did that happen" goal allowed type of goalie. Somehow, that warrants a 5 years term and makes him the perfect FYOUS cup contending window goalie.

The crazies have been running the asylum since the Zibanejad trade, but somehow, this GM would have you believe that it's all part of "the plan" and some people will swallow spoonfuls of the BS." - Day the contract was signed


"The suffering has just begun with Korpi. He has not changed one bit, from his AHL days.

- Brilliant goalie for shorts stints, but always crashes and burns when it comes to consistency.
- A series of amazing saves, then a quick succession of backbreaking goals. Never started more than 40 games in a season.

It was incomprehensible from day 1 that Dorion went out and signed him for HALF A DECADE and even more incomprehensible that experts and fans alike were/are partial to the signing. First thing I did the day the contract was announced was look at the buyout cost." - October 23, 2023

Well, from more than 20 feet out with no screen an NHL goalie should be making those saves, that's their job. Now if there was a screen, a deflection, or some pre shot puck movement it's a different conversation but those are typically savable shooting locations.

Changing channels

 

[JungleBeat]

Where tf is Formenton? Bring this guy back

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

yes but the shots should be stopped; D could play both better

 

[L'Aveuglette]

You need the D to step up and actually challenge him.

Bingo. Almost any elite shooter will score if left unchallenged in those spots unless the goalie is on his top game and gets lucky af.
