GDT: Senators @ Devils | 1:00 p.m. | Prudential Center | SNET-E

We could easily be competitive with a couple of moves.

Michael + to Phoenix for Yandle and Zibanejad + to Colorado for O'Reilly and we start winning again against the middle to bottom teams in the league as well as setting ourselves up for the future.

Neither Phoenix nor Colorado would make those deals.

 

[Benjamin]

The bad luck really helps with the tanking.

 

[YNWA14]

If I were Murray I wouldn't make any investments. He'd have to give up prospects / players. I'd just accept the season the way it is and use the draft picks.

Prospects don't always pan out. It's almost always better to trade multiple prospects for an established player of equal or better upside.

 

[Senscore]

Neither Phoenix nor Colorado would make those deals.

Yeah, let's just fantasize about scoring a goal first.

 

[Holdurbreathe]

Theres no play. He turned it over at the blueline and goes into the corner to get it bac, it takes Gryba a good 5 seconds that he's battling two guys alone in the corner, finally comes in to help. SDC looks up "oh where the **** is my RW?" only play is to ice it after a long shift. Another turnover.

He lost the puck twice on that shift, got it back, then turned it over on a bad pass at the blueline.

His RW was exactly where he was supposed to be, the play should have gone to the LW to exit the zone.

DaCosta is like half of this team, young and lacking NHL experience, he is going to make mistakes.

 

[YNWA14]

Neither Phoenix nor Colorado would make those deals.

Not necessarily true, but to each their own.

We're not going anywhere this season if we don't do something that's for sure.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Oh god please no Fleury or Brodeur on the Olympic team. *throws up in mouth*

 

[PatrickEaves]

Oh god please no Fleury or Brodeur on the Olympic team. *throws up in mouth*

Don't worry, it'll be Carey Price.

 

[Benjamin]

Ermahgerd sell the farm we gotta finish 8th or 9th so we dont win the cup!

 

[18Hossa]

Finally we see Silfverberg-Turris-Alfredsson.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Not necessarily true, but to each their own.

We're not going anywhere this season if we don't do something that's for sure.

Phoenix wants a top 6 center who can produce now for Yandle. We don't have one of those to offer. Yandle is an impossibility at this point and Michalek is possibly out for the year. Maloney has zero interest in that deal.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Finally we see Silfverberg-Turris-Alfredsson.

It's not working though.

 

[Indrew]

I would think the Sens would have to do something just to bring fans to the remaining 16 home games.

If Alfie is planning on retiring, he could announce soon that this is his last season. Would be good for attendance.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Don't worry, it'll be Carey Price.

Price and Ward please.

Ward is awesome in important games. He's the perfect backup.

 

[Derivation]

Is Z-Bad out today?

 

[MainDotC]

It's not working though.

Would have been much better to see them when the team was strong, not now after the team is depressed from watching Cooke stomp down on EK's Achilles.

 

[CarknerCountry]

Not necessarily true, but to each their own.

We're not going anywhere this season if we don't do something that's for sure.

Im more worried for next year..Gonch will be gone..Philly and Alfie are aging...We dont have the depth to sustain injuries..Adding a Yandle and ROR then we could get by with injuries to some extent and compete...

 

[the chef]

Is Z-Bad out today?

Yeah, he is a healthy scratch.

 

[Tundraman]

Lots of new players not playing as 5 man units and unfortunately because of the schedule the guys have no practice time. Still some good plays made out there once in a while but mostly on individual effort with no second chances.

The guys have been told to go to the net but they all get so close to the crease that any rebounds just go past them. They need one guy to stand back a bit further back away from the D.

They also passed up shooting chances for low percentage passes. They should try some soft low shots and go for the rebounds. Brodeur gets fooled by soft shots in his skates it throw off his rebound control.

 

[MainDotC]

Phoenix wants a top 6 center who can produce now for Yandle. We don't have one of those to offer. Yandle is an impossibility at this point and Michalek is possibly out for the year. Maloney has zero interest in that deal.

Sens fans post trades that work for the Sens, not for the team accepting the deal.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Optimistic stat of the day: Kyle Turris is >50% on faceoffs today so far.

 

[The Expert]

If we're gonna be crappy (re: injured) we damn well better be a tough team. And we're not.

The way this team is built, injury prone players at key positions, can't really be a surprise. Probably won't be the last year we're in this situation. Murray was really counting on us having the same luck we had last year.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Sens fans post trades that work for the Sens, not for the team accepting the deal.

I don't think this is exclusive to Sens fans.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Holy ****, the linesmen are having an awful day.

 

[Indrew]

I don't think this is exclusive to Sens fans.

Leaf fans are always considerate of the other team's needs.
