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

[SpezDispenser]

I think it’s clear I don’t think the plane trip tonight matters. If they Sens lose vs the Flames tonight then people can make whatever excuse they want - but the evidence is there the team doesn’t show up for statement games. So if they lose tonight it’s the continuation of a pattern of not showing and not this nightmare scenario you and the my pillow guys have nightmares about

I don't agree with that personally. They showed up for the mini playoff series vs Detroit.

However, tonight is step 1 in put up or shut up for this year.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

He is a star player. So is Batherson. Sure, add them to the group.

This team needs the core to play at their best. The core as a whole choked tonight.

Again.

Batherson is not a star player.

He's a complementary player. A good shot and absolutely nothing else.

 

[Back in Black]

It was interesting seeing Chabot & Cynchrun together at one point in the 3rd...

 

[Loach]

I don’t know how many times I’ve explained that it’s not about sleep…. But the 18 hours between leaving the ice in Vancouver, and setting foot on the ice in Calgary…. It is a rare occurrence when the two (time zone change and spring forward) things happen between back to back games.

my expectations for tonight is extremely low… and with a days rest between tonight and their game in Edmonton, I think they have a better shot at getting a point or two on Tuesday….. but am feeling they only return to Ottawa with the two points from Seattle

You pick the oddest things to go on about. Lol.

 

[Cosmix]

Are the Sedins not in the lineup tonight ?

They are in the "hot dog" lineup!

 

[Cosmix]

Watson win a fight challenge (impossible)

I agree he is a poor fighter. At least he went after Petterson rather than doing flybys like most others.

JT Miller goes after Stutzle and no one really takes a run at him. We need a big tough 4th line forward to play shotgun with our skilled players and take the policeman role away from Brady. SMURFS don't cut it, especially in playoff hockey.

System? That’s Brady cheating there. What page is that in the “system”. Lol

We need more guys like that.

 

[Cosmix]

Obviously Holden and Hamonic on. Lol and the canucks turned a 2 on 2 at the blue line to a 2 on 0

And you have to think DJ thought he had found his shut down pair

Correction: Dorion!

 

[SensFan1010]

How many goals have been scored on us the last month where its a 2 on 1 and our player decided to slide at the puck misses it completely and it becomes a 2 on 0. its down right embarrassing to see

 

[bicboi64]

Sogaard was pretty bad for us, but its not like we gave him a fighting chance. We gave Demko a night off with our lack of shots on net.

Pathetic

 

[Cosmix]

If it's meant to be, it'll be.

Let it be.

I'm sure they'll use this so called playoff run to justify the fans having hope in the offseason

FYOUS on the horizon!

 

[Loach]

We need more guys like that.

I was trying to watch the replay of the game today, it kept crapping out surprise, and ended up watching the CBC one with PJ Stock, Andrew Peters and Jason York watch and commentary one. They all said exactly what you said. Brady is they only guy that plays that way.

Shit.
@Cosmix

 

[Cosmix]

A lot easier to do when your next option up isn’t a 22yr old ECHL goalie

Our prized acquisition, Talbot, has not been much better.

 

[aragorn]

Batherson is not a star player.

He's a complementary player. A good shot and absolutely nothing else.

Sure he is, he would have gone to the all-star game last yr if the Buff goalie didn't take him out. He has 51 pts this yr in a down yr playing with a rookie centre & DeBrincat who is also considered to be having a down season. He's also oneof the best playmakers on this team & makes a lot of great passing plays especially on the PP.

I expect next yr this team should be so much better & take another big step forward as they have done this yr from last yr. Hopefully they just keep getting better & they have a few good young prospects coming that should plug a few more holes.

 

[Cosmix]

And we'll have Norris.

On paper, we look really good going forward.

Should have signed Formenton rather than the AHL level players Dorion signed for this season.

@Cosmix

Should be interesting when Kleven, Boucher & Ostapchuk graduate to Ottawa along with Kastelic & maybe Formenton comes back. They could give us a pretty good tougher bottom six & a little more jam on defence.

 

[Cosmix]

Chabot would be better suited on the second pair

Chabot needs some serious coaching help to improve his game.

We really need more tougher physical players to take the load off Tkachuk.

 

[Cosmix]

Bieksa says it's not Chabot's fault

I agree as it was Debrincat who fumbled the puck and gave it away. However, Chabot should have tried to get back rather than watch.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Chabot would be better suited on the second pair

 

[Cosmix]

And a new coach

And a new GM too.

That is so far away. You aren't wrong, but we need them now. The first 3 have many ??? marks about if they can even play in the NHL yet too.

Didnt used to be that way. There is more to his game we have seen it. Gotta find a way to get it back, there is some untapped potential for him he was a late bloomer. Maybe its the injury maybe its the off ice stuff im not sure but this is not even close to the best version of the player.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Bieksa says it's not Chabot's fault

Bieksa is 100% right, it was DBC, he was stickhandling with the puck , until he wasn’t.
Were some actually blaming Chabot?

 

[Cosmix]

Why is Kelly wearing Browns jersey?

Why did Dorion acquire Brown. We already had 2 Browns that didn't work out.

Is it?
