GDT: Sens @ Ducks Jan. 13 The Sens Should Try The Flying V In This Game

Watched the highlights, and it looked like the top lines and PP missed on all their opportunities in the 1st period, and spent the rest of the game paying for it.

The problem is obviously their pre-game playlist. Who's in charge?
 
Kinda seems to me, that some of our guys have gotten lazy. They think they can play a soft, fancy, perimeter game and win. When things start tightening up, the offense disappears. Not the first time this has happened with the Sens....seems to be a perpetual thing. Every time the Sens exceed expectations, the following year the guys sink badly.

Have you not been following this team? 16 goals in 11 games.

1 Dman doesn't fix whats wrong. It helps but we are stillfull of holes.

Maybe our top goal scorer shouldn't be on our second PP

Maybe Curtis Lazar shouldn't be getting more ice time that Mike Hoffman

Maybe Boro shouldn't be playing with EK.

Maybe Cameron shouldn't be coaching in the NHL
 
At the NHL level, it is rarely about the coach. A great coach might be worth a couple of extra wins a year, while a complete donkey might cost you a couple. The rest of it relies on the players. A coaching change isn't going to stop Weircioch from taking a bad penalty late, or from our goaltender melting down in the last five minutes when we needed him most.

I hate to lay so much of this on Anderson, but goaltending is massive in this league, and he simply has to be better than he was last night. There isn't a team in the NHL that can make the playoffs getting the kind of mediocre goaltending he has been giving us lately. Yes, he stole some games for us early, no question, but he's struggling with his focus and consistency now, and at a time when the rest of the lineup needs him to step up. It would be great to go back to Hammond on Saturday, but we can't do that because he is on personal leave, and his focus wouldn't be where it needs to be either. Sigh...
 
Andersons last 10 games the teams giving up on average 33 shots... And one of this games was 16...

While I do agree that coaching is way overrated in professional sports, the coach is responsible for establishing a system and putting players on the ice who give the team the best chance to succeed and Dave Cameron has failed miserably. There is no excuse for our second PP to consist of Lazar and Smith. The PP was fantastic when Hoff and EK were on the back end together, then for some odd reason, Hoff got taken of that unit. No reason that most forwards on this team get more ice time than Mike Hoffman. Shane Prince has done absolutely nothing wrong and still gets saddled with 5 minutes of ice a game.

As much as Anderson was weak last night, the game could have been entirely different if the coach played the players properly and optimized his lineup correctly. We could have been up 3-1 in the third and not have to worry about a late collapse like we had.

Yah Cameron isn't helping.

I agree with the points made here.
 
Didn't watch the game, but I see that in a game with something to prove, silfverberg had 7 shots and a goal and assist. Ryan was all 0s with a -1.

This is what I expect from them in the playoffs and why I will hold off on being thrilled with the trade.

Well, I'm sure if Silfverberg gets to play Ottawa for every game for the duration of the season, he'll be able to be more than a glorified third liner. It's good that he was able to increase his season output by 25% in one game.

Before I even read your post I knew it was trashing Silfverberg. Seems like the only topic you post about lately. I honestly haven't seen you post about anything else.

Yay for trashing Silfverberg!


I suggest you watch this video to understand a little more about why Silf has had a slow first half of the season. Yay for ignoring facts!

18 pts in 16 playoff games. that's what i'm talking about here.
 
Who really gives a **** about Silfverberg anymore though? I couldn't care less about the guy he plays on the West now and see him like twice a year.

Should I still care what Marian Hossa is doing for Chicago too?

Chezz with some truth bombs.

Again it all comes down to the hiring of rookie in experienced coaches who have a small sample size of success and automatically offered extensions.

wow, really... You're putting this game on Anderson when goals 2 and 3 were direct results of defensive breakdowns? Not to mention the fact that the team only scored 1 goal for the night, and if I had taken a shot for every time Turris shot a puck square into Andersen's chest I'd be admitted for alcohol poisoning?

Yay for ignoring context?!

He was responding to a premature post comparing Ryan to Silf based off of one game.

But you know, let's also ignore that Ryan has a broken finger and possibly reagitated it in the game against Boston.

Let's also ignore everything else Ryan did during the season, cause you know it's what have you done for me lately syndrome.
 
This whole aggression against Silf stemed from all the unreasonable hatred against Ryan that started last season.

It was fair to criticize Ryan for going on a slump at the wrong time, but some people were taking the criticisms way to far.

Oh no. CL commented on Silf's entire season.


I never made a single comment about Ryan. I have no problem with Ryan. CL's response was entirely predictable though
