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

[frightenedinmatenum2]

It's such a nice feeling seeing them respond to what was a terribly low point with a statement game that keeps them in the race for a playoff spot. Hopefully, they can build on that momentum tomorrow.

 

[Ouroboros]

Seems like Zack MacEwen must have had some very insightful and motivational things to say at the team meeting.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Destroying the Penguins was animal cruelty.

Levi is and should be the starter moving forward until Ulmark comes back. There should be no argument about it. Team just plays better in front of him

 

[Micklebot]

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

Normally I am a big proponent of giving both guys a start in a back to back, but I have soo little confidence in Forsberg,

Pinto and Giroux were specially good today, but Virgin Merilainen is my star of the game with a shutout. Him not letting in an early Forsberg special was key to Ottawa pressing the Penguins.

I would like to see him get more starts vs. Forsberg.

 

[PlayOn]

Hope they start Merilainen tomorrow as we’ll need all the help we can get. NYI is an easier opponent so they can give Forsberg that one, maybe this time he’ll manage to make 12 saves.

But I get it’s a B2B travel so I suspect we will see Forsberg tomorrow.

 

[DackellDuck]

Real nice bounce back. Time to ride Merilainen.

 

[Sensrule]

We're tied for the league lead in shutout victories this season and three goalies have gotten them for us. It's been an interesting season so far to say the least.

 

[DylanSensFan]

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

He hasn't been scoring. But he looks good out there.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

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.

Norris took a puck in the groin

 

[Ice-Tray]

What a game! This team shows flashes of being excellent. Merry was awesome, can he be our backup of the future?

 

[Ice-Tray]

Sens had a player only meeting after the loss to Buffalo. This was their response coming out of that meeting.

Sens have the best record in the league when they score first.

Pens have allowed a goal on the first shot of the game 9 times this season which is tops in the league.

Giroux has now scored the most points against the Pens of any active player in the league.

Levi is the second youngest Sens goalie to post a shut out.

Go Sens!

I don't see him struggling. He's in there constantly. He's just not a massive player. But I think he's built for playoff hockey. Norris is a rise to the occasion type of player in my estimation.

He’s had chances to rise to the occasion in the regular season and has not

He regularly does. What about that clutch goal against Detroit with a minute left?

I’m not saying he won’t ever score. But game in game out in a playoff series? I dono.
