Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Canes

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

No they didn't. It was way closer than the score suggested. Especially with that bullshit disallowed goal.

They had played it like a solid road game up to that point. Tough breaks like that can kill ya.

Sens immediately after getting a .500 record

All up to Ullmark

Some of the other 18 Senators will have to score some goals too, but yes Ullmark needs to carry a heavy load until the end of the season.

Probably won’t be able to blame it on the refs this game.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

We (including Ullmark) play like we did last game and we will win. We had like 3-4 minutes of constant possession in the offensive zone against Ducks. Yes, it's the Ducks, but that is still something remarkable. We need to demonstrate that type of persistence against the Canes.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Canes forecheck and neutral zone is really strong.

We need to be at our best in every facet

If I was a bettin' man

 

[Big Muddy]

Canes play fast with a heavy forecheck. They come out of the gate on fire. They’re on opposition skaters so quickly that there’s little time & space. It will be interesting to see how well we handle it this time.

 

[dumbdick]

We got this, boys. Run em up and beat em down

There's a 0% chance we'll be able to replicate that against the Canes. They're a much much better team, if not the best in the league that that kind of offensive zone pressure.

If we're going to beat the Canes, it'll look similar to last game where there are stretches were we bend but not break in our zone, and times where we return the favor in their zone. But ultimately, we'll need timelier goaltending, better finishing and the refs to not f*** us over. We're not going to beat them by pressuring them in their zone all night. No team in the league can do that.
