GDT: Sens McClane vs. Van-Gruber, DIE HARD EDITION Live from Nuckatomi Plaza, 10:00PM EST, CBC/SPORTSNET/TVAS2

[NyQuil]

Literally every team tries to get their best players against the other team's bottom pair. It's not exactly rocket science.

No but it was obvious when it was happening because they were getting caved.

Vancouver has an aggressive forecheck and I think it caused us trouble at times.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Hell of a speech. Doesn’t beat the boys are heat, but its close

Did he stutter or was that another 'bleep' from the social media team? Boys are are throwing around f-bombs like drunken sailors

A team win! 5 different goals! Didn't even have our starting goalie in net!

Oilers tomorrow. I'm Switzerland

I say this too often, but here it is again anyway: crazy what a difference it makes when a player is playing through an injury (or recovering from one) vs playing healthy! We saw it with both Pinto and Sanderson tonight. And we're seeing the converse with Stutzle, as based on his play I bet he's going through something. Let's hope they all come back healthy after the break, including poor Amadio who was actually playing with a lot of energy tonight. Before that, still one game to go, and who knows, with Ullmark in net maybe we go to the break with the streak intact?

Congrats to Merilainen, got the job done! Nothing spectacular, but nothing stupid or deflating either. Not something you can say about Forsberg or Sogaard.

I like Steve Staios

Players are going to play super hard for Coach Travis Green because it’s his old place where he didn’t get the recognition and they want respect on his name and theirs.

I’ll say Merlinen starts to give Ullmark the extra day of rest and starting in Vancouver is about as hostile and envriniwnmtn as their is in the NHL so everything after this will seem easy, and he has no pressure with this winning streak is he loses no big deal.

I’ll call a 4-4 OT game with a Sanderson OT a goal

Tuna with another perfect prediction. It’s why I’m your favorite. If you want betting advice, hit me up.

When I think about how bad all of us have needed a streak like this, I can only imagine how much the players did

 

[BondraTime]

Win is a win, but that was a rough one

Well put

Win is a win, but that was a rough one

Levi first ever start, great game. Vancouver is a hostile environment, Sens handled it well.

3-0 to start the road trip. Schwing!!

Best G.M. We’ve ever had.

When you think about what this streak and the playoff position the culture of the team and coaching staff will do to his ability to recruit Free Agents and maybe have players waive no-trades to come to Ottawa for a chance to win with stability, new era in Sens history.

You could see the Canucks throwing out their top players against Kleven and JBD.

I hope 97 and 29 had a bad night of sleep and Linus had a good one
Could get ugly real quick with these 2
