GDT: Sens vs Boouins - 7 pm TSN5

[ToastrStutzle]

Norris is just soft as hell. Not a fan of his game whatsoever.

I'd trade him if I were GM for a RHD

 

[Senscore]

Our defense can be bad and Korpisalo can be shitty at the same time.


But it really seems that the defense is improving and Korpisalo is not

 

[Burrowsaurus]

What goal was the stinker tonight? I remember one with a screen and two nice shots.

Believe me, I am worried about that contract, but I didn't mind him tonight.

Uh. The Pasternak slap shot for the blue line lol. That has to be saved. That’s not even a shot players usually try. There’s no scoring chance there.

The second goal was brutal, 1st was questionable. Goalies are supposed to make the saves on every shot that's coming from 35 feet out when they have time to challenge and no back door option.

 

[Senscore]

Well time to start drinking

 

[Micklebot]

Well time to start drinking

Wait ... Start?

 

[WallyD]

Two top corners

Not always but in most cases it is top corner(s)... It's a weakness he needs to address. Doesn't matter if he sees the shot or not, statistically he needs to cover more net.

 

[Mr Hat]

Korpi has a .920 save % the two games before. He ain't that bad.

Yes if you look at the 10 games he won and not the 20 he lost he is doing pretty good for $5M. When you look at the body of work, buy him out yesterday as he isn’t a top 30 goalie.

Defence group has been far more solid, predictable.

 

[Senscore]

No time like the present

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Norris pisses me off too. He needs some video sessions with Jacques!


He did make some but not enough.

I don’t see Norris hate. He’s always been shit on the boards I used to complain about it pre contract. But I thought he’s played well during this stretch. Doesn’t cheat. Right side of the puck.

What happened to Greig though? A little benching?

The second goal was brutal? The guy was allowed to walk into the middle of the slot and then he picked a corner. It's the NHL - sometimes goalies get beat.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Pinto led the way at the dot again 56% 5/9

Greig didn't play the 2nd half of the 3rd. Don't know if he got nicked up or just part of the bench being shortened.

 

[WallyD]

Uh. The Pasternak slap shot for the blue line lol. That has to be saved. That’s not even a shot players usually try. There’s no scoring chance there.

I am willing to concede that Parker Kelly should be much further out, closer to the shooter on that one and he did screen Korpi. That said, Korpi has to be better at stopping shots screened or not, better positioned and bigger/taller in the net. He's not a tiny goalie.

His weakness seems to actually be like a shooter having a clean shot. He always gets beat clean. Doesn’t matter where on the ice. If the shooter has enough time to load up a wrister it’s beating him

I am willing to concede that Parker Kelly should be much further out, closer to the shooter on that one and he did screen Korpi. That said, Korpi has to be better at stopping shots screened or not, better positioned and bigger/taller in the net. He's not a tiny goalie.

Goalies save those types of screens all the time. Swayman saved multiple tonight.

1st goal was horrendous. 2nd goal wasn't great. Look how far out he was of his crease and he still couldn't stop it.

870 save percentage is not good enough

 

[OccidentalSoothsayer]

If this group can ever figure out how to play this way in November they might just snag a wildcard spot

 

[WallyD]

Well time to start drinking

You're just starting now? Why miss out on all the in-game drinking games and anesthetic?!

He really had no time to be much further out... he got bumped at the draw .. started moving out and the shot came in.

 

[Sting]

With the team playing better you definitely start seeing the weak links letting the team down.

This game I thought a lot of guys played hard and well. For once, I thought Chabby and Chych played well.

Tkachuk has been a pretty big disappointment lately. I just don't think he has high end IQ or hands and that really limits his ability to lead a team. Endless poor reads or bad angle shots that kill a play.

As usual, impressed by Giroux and Tarasenko. Pinto was amazing too.

 

[Flamingo]

Korpi seems to have trouble with angles, or hand-eye, or maybe simply just picking up the puck off the stick. He still impressed me with his calm anticipation with pucks in close or shot on the ice through feet. He doesn’t over-react, never puts himself out of position.

I’d like to see what a bit more time with the new goalie coach does for him.

 

[ottawagm]

So I have to admit... the last two OT losses.... I planned to watch the recording, then saw they were in OT, turned it on and they lost immediately.

I will not watch the next OT live and report how they do!

 

[PlayOn]

Chabot was great tonight, I think he’s been getting better and better under Jacques.

I liked Pinto on the first PP unit. I also like Stützle with Brady and Giroux. Don’t like Pinto with Batherson though, they never have much chemistry. Would rather see them reunite Bath and Norris next game and keep Stu on the top line.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Imagine if we started the season playing the way we have the last 5-6 games. Hard on the puck, tight forecheck, getting points off of even the best teams. We would be right in the mix. And that’s without a PP clicking and average goaltending at best.

Nice comeback, good work tonight, lost a coin flip.

 

[Sensinitis]

What a game by Chabot. That was the type of game we all expected him to play relatively consistently in his prime after drafting him and watching him completely dominate the WJC

Very exciting to see

This team looks so different in the best way you love to see it
