Low Effort GDT Senators in La Belle Province to beat up some scrubs | Tuesday October 1st, 2024, 7PM

[HSF]

guys its just preseason

 

[Boud]

Montreal doesn't seem to have the same issue...

No they don't, it's the Ottawa Senators way.

 

[Senscore]

Another soft call

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Montreal fans are the Karen's of the NHL

 

[SensFactor]

Almost all the preseason games around the league are like this...regulars playing 70% intensity, scrubs thinking its game 7 in the playoffs trying to impress...

 

[SlyDawg]

Love the passion some of you guys have for the team but some of you need to be talked off the ledge.

1) It's the fourth pre-season game.
2) They have a new coach, which means new systems which means old systems need to be jettisoned

I get Sens fans are really pessimistic and tired of seeing terrible play but...it's a bit early here to be saying that the team is terrible.

Let's just take a deep breath. 2-0 game against the Habs, sure, but still half a game to play and hopefully they start jiving as a team and Green do some coaching.


Breathe, people. Breathe. It's pre-season.

 

[Icelevel]

Games almost half over we have 5 shots.

Is that good?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

this is our A team getting destroyed by habs B team.

Ottawa's C team destroyed Toronto's A team.

 

[Micklebot]

Another soft call

Literally the same thing happened to Stü and no call even though it directly let to a chance the other way, preseason for the refs too I guess

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I mean it's still hockey and the system isn't that different than Jaques was preaching from like what December last year?

Wtf.
Backcheck
Support the breakout
Look for an open man
Crash the net.

These are supposed to be pros that have played their whole lives

How do you know the system isn't that different? Are you on the ice during practice?

Even changing how the dmen pinch, jump up in the play, how deep he wants the centers to play. All of these things can have a big impact on how the players read the play, and it's unrealistic to expect no growing pains.

 

[SensontheRush]

This is actually worse defense than under DJ. This is crazy.

 

[Senscore]

this is our A team getting destroyed by habs B team.

This sort of stuff does happen in preseason often enough

 

[DackellDuck]

B teams try in the preseason. A teams don’t.

Remember when an 18 year old Yakemchuk walked Matthews, Reilly and Marner?

I wanna see some progress.
Can't say I've seen any. Not yet

5 shots halfway through the game isn't good enough. Preseason or not

 

[ThreeMs]

All those off season changes and the team looks worse. Fire everyone and bring back Dorion!

 

[Rodzilla]

I feel like this team doesnt generate much outside of the PP

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Teams lacks chemistry for 3 seasons now let not just pretend it's only now. Scrabs have little to none talent but play as a trqm and use each other well playing smart game. We have mostly the same players playing together now for at least 2-3 years the new players /system shouldn't affect their play or chemistry.

 

[NyQuil]

Looks like Dach recovered from Grieg’s Invisible Ninja Punch that Biron was talking about.

 

[Blotto71]

Obvious hook on Norris

We’ve beaten them 9 times in a row when it counts.

He was resurrected with dark magic.

Progress in 4 pre-season games where they have a whole new system isn't going to be showing up anytime soon.

Realistically, one should not necessarily expect much until at least 20 games in, truth be told. There's only oh so much you can do with the start of the season.

If Ottawa gets 10-10 by the end of a 20 game stretch, I'd call that progress.

I'm all for progress. I'm all for them getting off on the right foot. But that's what pre-season games are for: looking at the warts and trying to iron out the wrinkles.

Riley Brace is an Ottawa guy and grew up a Sens fan. May be overcompensating.

This defense doesn't have Brann.
