GDT: Senators @ Devils 7:00 PM MSGSN, MSGSN2, ESPN+

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Ottawa basically doing nothing and we're still not a threat to score.

I don't know, it is about time for some second goal to give everyone hope before the empty netter.

Take a look at the top teams / past cup winners right now and see the common theme.
They either lucked out by having generational talent at the top of the draft :
Col - McKinnon Makar
Edm - McD Drai

Or have good GMs/ willing to take chances:
FLA - savy trades and willing to make moves
VGS - does whatever it takes to make moves / trades
Dal - draft amazing
WIN - draft well

We have had some good draft picks but also some very stupid mistakes - Holtz Stillman Nemec ( Nemec still can turn out to be a good pick though ) .

Look at how Ottawa defends up in the 3rd. Playing percents and maintaining defensive leverage, physical along the boards to earn the puck back, keeping middle shooting lanes clear so the goalie can see it. Totally different from how we have been playing with a lead since 4 Nations

Sanderson really opened my eyes during that tournament.
 
Just based on what theyre making and what theyre contributing:

Nico, Jack, Bratt, Noesen, Cotter. No problem whatsoever.

Timo, Mercer. Problems.

Palat, Haula. Big problems.

Maybe, but his best stretch of production was as a center with Bratt and Johanssen on his wings.

His best was February and March of 2023. He wasn't playing with Bratt then... I believe Mercer was playing wing with Nico and Tatar and Jack was with Sharangovich and Bratt

He had 22 points in 26 games in February and March of 2023. Spot checking the game logs Nico shows up mostly on Mercer's goals.

Why is it these guys playing hard and fast for last 30 mins. Where was this all the other games when we need to bank some points?

No, they rather do this the hard way, the panic way, every single time, from a goal or two down.

This team never learns anything it seems.
