GDT: Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins - 4PM - TSN5 - Happy Feet 3 - The 2nd Sequel

[Sun God Nika]

Great shutout for Leevi, he earned it. Hopefully that injects a little confidence in his game and goes on a roll, we need a decent backup badly and he has to be it right now.

IF Forsberg will get the net tomorrow and let in 4 they better start running Leevi full time.

 

[lang006]

Heck ya! They needed that bad

 

[Senscore]

That was the only sort of game I'd consider acceptable after the last one

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Great win. Looks like they just can't play like this in front of Forsberg though which is concerning.

Lack of confidence in Forsberg maybe? Although in fairness Forsberg did play well against Detroit.

 

[NyQuil]

Just what the doctor ordered.

Scored first (on first shot! it's like bizarro world) and then kept up the pressure.

Leevi was solid when he had to be to stamp out any comeback effort.

 

[swiftwin]

You really don't know much, lol

no u

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Those people also want him back... still

Led Pens defense corps with a -2

 

[SensFactor]

Please play Leevi tomm !!

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Oh wow I missed this one though it was a 7pm game . Well f*** looks like a nice game too for once

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Guilty. I didn't realize how poorly he was playing defensively. He actually had a good season in San Jose before going to Pitts.

That season was an exception, not the rule, over his past 6 1/2 seasons since he decided to force his way out of Ottawa.

 

[Knave]

Confidence builder. Is it already a done deal that Forsberg starts tomorrow? Kind of want to start Merilainen twice.

Maybe you should miss the next few.

 

[Carl Karlsson]

He looks very relaxed compared to Soogard or even Forsberg. I like goalies who are competitive but also just look chill.

Yes, since his first game you could notice he has confidence, good positioning and very relax. Did not allowed many bad goals and even less horrible ones like the other two. Helps to make the team more comfortable playing in front of someone like that (just like Ullgod). Soogard has no business even being considered anymore until he shows something, main question now is what will management do between him/Forsberg. I know what I would do ! As many have said, I would start him tmr also.

He’s young, why not see if he’s up to back to back games.

Still think they will start Forsberg…. Don’t want to create any confidence issues, but he may be on a short lease though

 

[NyQuil]

Sometimes I think you have to go with the hot hand, especially with younger players.

It's not like he had a particularly strenuous outing anyway.

I think he can do it

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Damn, I forgot it was an early game.

Did Forsberg play goalie for Pittsburgh?

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Just saw the condensed game , just from that I cant tell offense was back on track.
That Pinto >>>Norris
That Merilaneen >> Frosberg already
Giroux best game in ages offensively.

Hope they play same way tomorrow and we keep Meri on net.

 

[aragorn]

Norris is another good player & second in goals on this team after Brady, also good on faceoffs & plays a very good two way game.

[SensFactor]

I don't trust Forsberg against Dallas tomorrow. Leevi is the guy

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Hasn't been good at all for the last 8 games.

 

[PlayOn]

Hasn't been good at all for the last 8 games.

I agree but I thought he was good today

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Couldn’t watch the whole thing but managed to watch the short game on YT. Game was at 8:00 Tasmania time lol.

Boys looked good, Pinto was flying out there. Leevi looked great too, aggressive and playing at the top of his crease.

Did Norris get hurt? I saw him go into the locker room.

Also Greig seemed like a little shit, bothering Crosby and getting in scrums. Love that about his game.

Pitts commentators were funny to hear. Complaining about goalie interference and then the Batherson and Stutzle goal. Both goals the ref was right there and the puck was loose.
