GDT: Ottawa Senators vs Montreal Canadiens Oct 12 at the Bell Center

[Whitesnake]

As a Habs fan, don't want to come to Ullmark defense...but look at the Newhook goal...surprised there wasn't at least an intention of calling interference....clearly he was impede in his movement. You guys have a good goalie.

Hudson is what we hoped Branny would be when we got him. Clearly Hudson has more offensive IQ and is an elusive skater. Will the size hurt him though, in terms of being less effective when things get physical and tight?? That’s the question.

Eliaason and nordberg will be able to catch him don’t worry

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This Hamonic thing is never going to end.

“When Brady is going this team is going”. So what’s up with Brady? Hasn’t looked himself at all. I know he’s a new father, but I have to assume they have hired help.

I think he’s hurt.

Yeah there was a missed call, but ultimately wouldn't have effected the outcome of the game. Our team didn't show up and got the result we deserved.

Reasonable assumption, after that Kraftville preseason game

So you are choosing to go political now on a hockey board I see? People are welcome to their opinion that is why we still live in a democracy. What does an impartial assessment of a city where I lived for 20-years (compared to your partly 8 lol) have to do with politics here? Show me one statement that I made that was either Left or Right of the political spectrum? You are either blind the ongoing crime in the city (or aware but insist on trolling the boards) or haven't lived there long enough there sunshine to know lol. Get your head out of the sand and stop watching CBC lol. So I guess the police must be lying on there reports then? A good friend of ours had there BMW stolen out of their driveway on Oakville. Shall I request the insurance report for you? You are a waste of my time lmao

No, crime rates are not a matter of opinion, they are a matter of fact and statistics. You're painting the picture of an unlivable hellhole that you fled from when the reality is completely the opposite. It doesn't change the fact that there are crimes happening here but it's not at all to the scale you're describing and not at all appropriate to fear-monger like you are.

Go cower in your basement while you browse your right-wing social media feed that makes you so f***ing scared. The rest of us are enjoying our lives.

Hopefully they are working behind the scenes to do something about that 3RD. Sticking with the same lineup for now. We definitely need more out of some players individually.
Greig left last nights game for a bit , not out there today. I imagine Ullmark is a rest day

"There is at least one vet D still sitting there that imo would improve on JBD and Hamonic." Who are you referring to?

He's on this list and I suggested him in preseason as a PTO .. I'll stand by that he was a better option than Addison to shelter Kleven and Kleven was pretty much penned in to 3LD and meets my criteria.

Unacceptable effort two games in.

Would you rathe have Ottawa beat Florida and lose to Montreal or the other way around? 1-1 isn't the end of the world, but the effort was bad.

Brady couldn't outmuscle Hutson is embarrassing. Chabot's effort was embarrassing. Giroux suddenly looked his age, and tired. I know there are newborns in the fold, so there is a bit of that. It's like they thought that with Ullmark they don't have to work anymore? I hope this game serves as a wake up call. And this effort cost them probably six games to tomorrow's game, I am not going to buy any.

If you have to lose, and you will, lose the right weay, not by not showing up.

Schultz, Giordano or Shattenkirk maybe?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Schultz, Giordano or Shattenkirk maybe?

They must have rejected us. I find it INCREDIBLE that staios wouldn’t bring in schultz or shattenkirk. Truly unbelievable. He must have tried

 

[mysens]

Is anyone feeling the down right blues today?..I couldn't put my finger on it all day and finally my wife said "my goodness, get over them losing last night"....she's right. This overwhelming feeling of here we go again started this morning as I slept on it.

 

[SENStastic]

You guys should just open up your own OT thread at this point to discuss which city sucks more, we're getting derailed pretty hard rn lol

The way they played last night has certainly not helped my mood today. We all watch hockey to distract ourselves from the real world, but as you say, when the team you cheer for shows very little signs of improvement year after year, it becomes more of a chore than fun entertainment.

Last night's play wasn't encouraging at all, but I'm hoping it's just early-season bs they're dealing with. A lot of the forwards are MIA and need to produce. Stuztle has 75% of the goals so far.

 

[LiseL]

I enjoy the classic and the "Saturday Night's Alright" song, always got pumped with the latter haha

They now play it on their pre-game show which starts 30 minutes before the game. I also preferred when they played it before the game. No way I'm listening to that group for an extra 30 minutes before the game, it's painful enough during intermissions.

 

[LiseL]

Greens breakouts are a lot like DJs. Smack that thing at the boards or highflips to a hold out man.

Spoiled with Jacques Martin.

He's still an advisor, he should do some advising.

Yeah. I think it’s been totally wasted. If tkatchuk and all them decide to stay we won’t be competitive for another few years. Maybe until only 2 years left in their contracts. Not sure staios will pull the plug on green that fast.

He tried with DJ. Head coaches will do what they want. Saw no change u til Jacques was actually the coach

 

[sena]

Batherson has decided he needs to deke five guys instead of passing the puck almost every play
Brady seem like he only wants to throw checks
Klevin is big but might not be ready yet, or ever
Timmy looks great

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Why doesn’t chabot move to the middle of the ice here? He sees what the f*** is happening in front of him. How can you defend the counter all the way from the f***ing wall. What are you waiting to develop exactly?
