Pre-Game Talk: SENS vs Chicago, Thursday 7:30 pm (Home Opener)

[Gil Gunderson]

STHs get an extra pair of free tickets apparently. Putting more bums in the seats. Generating excitement. I think its a good idea

How could this happen?

Pierre said nobody at fanfest was mad at him.

I thought things were under control.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

What's funny is that for all the talk of a rebuild and going "young", there's only three rookies on the opening lineup.

They can paper the arena all they want, attendance will dwindle once the less knowledgeable fans realize the kind of poor product management has put together. Merely a short term fix.

A pleasant surprise. Happy to get them, 100s to boot.
Not a fan of freebies, but in dire teams there is no other option. They will have to earn the trust of fans through added value and a new philosophy on the ice.

 

[SensFactor]

Sens hockey is back. For those going tomm, cheer on our boys with me. Time to shock the naysayers.

I'm assuming the promo ended. I don't see anywhere on Ticketmaster where a promo code can be entered.

You have to be a season ticket holder to get the promo

 

[BonkTastic]

Called it.

I figured they would start papering the arena again to avoid embarrassing attendance numbers in an attempt to "prove" that there isn't a fan backlash this season, I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

I thought it would take until at least December before Eugene's ego took a big enough hit that he'd start papering again. I guess I overestimated that one.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Man I thought it was just Twitter trolls, a small percentage of HF boards people and a vocal minority?

This is highly surprising to me.

Could the organization really lie to us?

Its cause they cant get rid of all the dead weight (ie Ryan/Smith/Harper)

 

[Xspyrit]

Yeah is it possible to at least avoid Melnyk/state of the franchise talk in GDTs? There’s like one million other threads to do so... Maybe focus on the sport of hockey in itself?

I know I wouldn’t even realize if the threads get derailed and probably get suckered into posting replies about it

Its cause they cant get rid of all the dead weight (ie Ryan/Smith/Harper)

One of those guys might finish 3rd in team scoring though. P/GP on the Sens through the years (not counting small sample sizes of course)

2013-14 : 5th (5th in TOI/GP among forwards)
2014-15 : 4th (2nd in TOI/GP among forwards)
2015-16 : 4th (5th in TOI/GP among forwards)
2016-17 : 7th (8th in TOI/GP among forwards)
2017-18 : 6th (8th in TOI/GP among forwards)

We don’t have the same definition of dead weight. And considering EK was always at the top of production on this team, the said player has always been one of the best 6 forwards on the team, just overpaid the last 2 years

If we trade Stone, Duchene and Dzingle they will be 1, 2 and 3 in team scoring.

 

[Xspyrit]

lol funny but nah

Trying to predict how PPG will go this year :

1st Duchene
2nd Stone
3rd Ryan
4th Dzingel
5th Tkachuk
6th Chabot
7th Tierney
8th Wideman
9th Boedker
10th Formenton (if he stays)

Hard to say about Lajoie and Chlapik and how much they’d play

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

practice lines
Dzingel Duchene Ryan
Smith White Stone
Formenton Tierney Boedker
Paajarvi McCormick Pyatt

Chabot Wideman
Boro Ceci
Lajoie Demelo
Harpur

Hoping for White to have a big game with a chance to play with Stone

 

[Qward]

The "A's" stand for "Also getting traded"

 

[BondraTime]

White is going to look good. Stone makes everyone look better than they are.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

I hope you are right.

This will be the line that I'm watching closely.

Then what does Boro's A mean?

 

[Runback]

Glad they are allowing Tkachuk to get 100%. Kid's going to be a player like we've never had before.

 

[Clayonator]

Love White centering Smith and Stone. Smith Pageau Stone was a hell of a line not long ago. I think White can help replicate that look. I hope when Tkachuk is healthy preferably by Saturday we go:

Dzingel Duchene Ryan

Tkachuk White Stone

Formenton Tierney Boedker

Pyatt Smith Pajaarvi

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Then what does Boro's A mean?

Not sure but I think it ends with "lick"

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Ol' Narc Borowiecki gets an A eh. Not a surprise I guess.

 

[Qward]

Then what does Boro's A mean?

He is an assistant captain. His wife is the captain.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Then what does Boro's A mean?

Assistant GM.
