GDT: Senators @ Canucks | 10PM | CBC/SN | "It doesn't matter if it's ugly" EDITION

[Joeffice]

His record speaks for itself. I mean we leave him out to dry every other shift.

Alright, guess I just don't see it anecdotally in the games I've seen.
Fair enough.

Soogard has a bright future I think. If he turns into Bishop that's obviously a massive win but even just being a good backup is a great outcome.

Agreed

 

[Mingus Dew]

Please decline this PP.

That would be a terrible outcome. Dorion's put all of his eggs into this basket.

Hey with norris and if DJ is still coach next year we will get outscored 7-2

I'll gladly take another two losses to Chicago and Vancouver next season if it means we also go 13-5-1 in the process again.

 

[CornerStone61]

If you say it enough times it could be! Brannstroms stats will also change too. He will have more than 1 goal every 60 games if you wish it so.

I don't get the sensitivity here lmao, if it wasn't Holden it wasn't Holden, it literally doesn't change the rest of my original post. Miss me with your brannstrom shit, never even brought him up

 

[Defensefirst]

So are you saying the criticism tonight is unwarranted? Nothing wrong with criticism that is justified. In Seattle the Sens played a better team and had some bad bounces. Tonight their compete level is not there. Period.

Chabot plays defense like a troll.

It definitely was Holden

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

This team has gone seventeen powerplays without a goal, by my count.

Strike that. I didn't count the end of the Detroit game. Make that TWENTY-THREE powerplays.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Insane take in my eyes. Sogaard has looked good to great and has been better than Talbot by a country mile.

They both move too much. I wouldn’t say Sogaard isn’t an NHL goalie, but I’d rather have him in the AHL as a starter or NHL as a backup (in an ideal world). He is still young and huge and needs to practice and tighten up his technique.

Sogaard hasn’t cost us a game, probably not even a point, off the top of my head.
So that is very admirable and impressive. I just really hope we go into next season with a good, healthy option along his side. Can’t afford to run him next year without a good goalie in tandem.

Careful, you're not allowed to criticize role players on this board

 

[Karl Prime]

That would be a terrible outcome. Dorion's put all of his eggs into this basket.

Outside of a select few teams with goalies like Vasi and Shesterkin, every team needs two capable goalies if they want to be one of the better teams in the league. If he's a solid 1B that's fine. I think he can be more than that though - he's got some good technique and obviously the size is an advantage.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Well, now you have to beat the Flames and Oilers. Good luck.

 

[swiftwin]

Careful, you're not allowed to criticize role players on this board

You are allowed, just make sure it's rooted in reality.

There was literally a goal scored on one of our powerplays last period…

 

[Korpse]

It was Chychrun.

I have tried to avoid singling out DJ frequently this year but if the team can't get up for these games, who's fault is it? I know DJ has taken the blame in the past for this but maybe over the summer we should do something about it.

I do believe in the personnel on this club (aside from maybe Chabot)...but it's clear the team just doesn't get the message from the top down.

Yeah I mean he’s so young he’s gonna need some seasoning these guys always do. But I think he has looked solid in all of his starts and the losses have not been his fault. I don’t see why he can’t be a starter at some point.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

[Pierre from Orleans]

Has DJ made any adjustments to the power play since it went impotent

 

[starling]

Can't believe I thought this team has any business being in playoffs

 

[swiftwin]

I'm sorry for bringing facts to the discussion

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

We traded for Chychrun, but I don't know if I'd count that.

 

[Mingus Dew]

At least daddy G gets a goal out of this mess

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Well, it's not a shutout. That's something.
