Slow Start

Norris Injury

Dorion not getting a top 4D

Killed our season!

Yeah that pretty much sums it all up.

I'd add the Formenton Fiasco.

How much better would this team be with a different coach, a legit partner for Sanderson and a third line with Pinto and Formenton?

Pinto can't pass the puck

Might have overrated his skill level
He’s not a top six center right now. He’s an out and out passenger against good competition. And that’s fine he’s a rookie.

Bottom line is this. Before the red wings game there was legit hope and an easy schedule. We came out with 4 out of the next 7 games being complete duds. That just not acceptable. And people should be held accountable. We weren’t even competitive. Like 7 game easyish stretch. And we do nothing. Barely compete.

The coach needs to be asked hard questions. And tkatchuk, Chabot and giroux need to be asked hard questions.

My partner who doesn't watch hockey stopped making fun of me after it was 5-0.

All I could say was we're losing to the defending cup champs lol

Is it fair to say you line-up changes did not work and not working 5v5?
He made one change and that one change was to flip debrincat to a wing he hasn’t really ever played at the NHL level.

When your whole identity is hard work and hard to play against(+dump and chase) and ultimately you none of these.. There is a problem.

But is it the coach's fault if they play lazy? I feel last year they were playing so much harder overall. The dcore is a physically weak one.

The bottom 6 plays the way DJ likes it, but it's not the bottom 6 that should make you win most of your game.
The bottom six is doing nothing to make us win games. That’s a massive issue lol.

I can’t look at any of our guys and call them “lazy”. Except maybe batherson and Chabot at times.

They’re demoralized and clueless.

This core is overrated. Good on paper, weak on the ice.
The thing is. There is no Crosby here. There’s no Mcdavid there’s no matthews. No makar.

They need development. They need coaching they need support. They can’t carry a team. We are not THAT talented. But these kids mixed with this joke of a staff and this GM who can’t help them either. Yeah it’s a disaster.

That’s a lot of changes lol.

Different coach and I think this team is better. Not elite. But better.

Sincerely hope folks watched the incredible NFL wild care game instead of this tire fire.
I was fully into the football game after we went down 2-0 early. I almost went to bed after the chargers went up 27-0, really happy I kept watching until the end though.

As for the sens, somebody let me know when they are worth my time again please.

That game was a season low for me. I'm still trying to process it.

We were down two, gaining a bit of momentum and Tkachuk turns it over at the blue line. That's unacceptable. I couldn't even tell if that was an errant pass or a weak dump in.

Forsberg has to save a couple of those

I quietly suggested last summer that we should/would trade Thomas Chabot. At this point, we're going to enter sweetener territory to get rid of his deal.

Watching that game really hammers home that we need way more speed. Losing battles to pucks and quick puck movement are things we desperately need.
And defense.

Expecting drake and formenton to be packaged with zaitsev as a punishment////upgrade on d.

Entire coaching staff fired at seasons end. Maybe some goalie shenanigans at the draft. Season appears to be done.
Weeeeee

I'm just looking forward to a Deadpool summer where new ownership brings us a whole new management team and coaching staff, and then plug Connor Bedard in as our new 1RW.

Core needs to be shuffled. Offseason to do list for the new GM.

1. Chabot and/or Batherson need to be moved.

2. More size on D (that can play).

3. More speed , size and scoring in the bottom 6. If Formenton isn’t in the plans he needs to be replaced. No more Motte, Brassard playing 3rd line.

4. New coaching staff.

Ya, I switched to the NFL game after it the Avs scored the 5th goal. That was a much more entertaining option than the Senators game.

Senators have done poorly against the good/decent Western Conference teams.

Senators have a ways to go before they will be legit (a strong playoff team that can win some rounds).

Maybe we can get a decent draft pick? Might as well salvage whatever we can from the season.

Getting Berard would be a dream, but this draft is hyped to be one of the best (for the top 15 or so picks) ever. A lot of really high end talent this year.
