Post-Game Talk: SENS & PENS, Monday in Halifax 6pm. (TSN5)

[NyQuil]

Smejkal > McEwan for a roster spot ??

Anyone > MacEwan for a roster spot?

 

[senswon]

Yes, I think we got absolutely worked in the dzone - as per usual

Won off elite goaltending

Did you watch the game?

I wonder if that was because they had 6 pp opportunities

I don't care if we won because of Korpi, this season winning hockey games is all that matters. last time I checked goaltenders are part of the team.

 

[Flamingo]

The reffing

DJ should have pulled a Roger Neilson.

 

[Sens Vader]

I don't care if we won because of Korpi, this season winning hockey games is all that matters. last time I checked goaltenders are part of the team.

I mean it’s preseason, I don’t care about wins and losses I care about how they play.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Anyone > MacEwan for a roster spot?

Gotta respect Zack for getting that three year contract out of Pierre.

 

[Micklebot]

Smejkal > McEwan for a roster spot ??

There is zero chance MacEwen isn't on the roster, we gave the guy a three year deal, for better or worse he's our 13th fwd at minimum.

 

[NyQuil]

Formenton as well .. the HC shit should be done by then

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I disagree, completely. Their PP was awful

It was awful but that has nothing to do with Ottawa playing a sound defensive game tonight. I think your expectations are way too high for what constitutes as good system play, because there was really nothing to complain about tonight. The goalie is occasionally going to have to make a tough save, no team in the NHL doesn't allow any good scoring chances through 60 minutes of hockey.

Preseason are not I care about them winning hockey games.

[Rodzilla]

I don’t know I think our defense played well but I wouldnt say there wasnt any running around they had a lot of possession in our zone and not only cause of PP.

In the first shots were 14-4 at some point and they didnt have a PP

 

[Sens Vader]

Preseason are not I care about them winning hockey games.

Playing well leads to wins on a consistent basis.

 

[NyQuil]

Not a lot of second chances, boxed out the rebounds, not a lot in transition if anything.

I thought Ottawa played pretty solid.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Anyone > MacEwan for a roster spot?

replacement level player that can maybe make a difference in 3-4 games where we want him to fight.

If its me .. No roster spot but I respect the opinion that wants a goon.

If its a Chris Neil type .. no question I'd want him

Well, they came out with the crowd behind them. It was basically a road game for Ottawa and they executed.

Chris Neil is a unicorn. We might never see another in Sens jersey again.

Ottwa did not play a solid defensive game, how on earth does one come to that conclusion.

I am not complaining I am stating the obvious. We did not play well, and won. Things to be worked on

Two preseason games left and some practices, hope they show progress

 

[Ouroboros]

What a night for Rourke 'the Crosby stopper' Chartier. Dominant.

 

[Yak]

Korpi played well and that was all I needed to see tonight.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Chris Neil is a unicorn. We might never see another in Sens jersey again.

Times have changed with the scrappers like Neil coming out of Junior . Maybe Tanner Jeannot
I like Acciari as well although he is not a fighter.. Plays hard and hits hard

Well there are several people in here saying that they do think they played a pretty solid game, so there must be a logical reason as to why they came to that conclusion.

You are not stating the obvious, you are being needlessly harsh. The improvements in the coverage tonight was pretty clear from the standard from last season. They played well and shut out a team 3-0 on the road.

 

[KingAlfie11]

The Florida Panthers went all the way to the Cup Final getting outshot relying on their goaltender. And tonight when the PP were 6-0 for the Pens you need your goaltender to stand tall and Korpi was came up huge tonight.

I mean people disagree, every day in here.

We also may have a different meaning by the term solid. Like we obviously won the game

You say it’s harsh I say it’s realistic. We need to be better in our dzone. I’m sure DJ himself would agree
