Pre-Game Talk: SENS vs Leafs tonight ons SportsNet

[Agent Zuuuub]

I did see the game, he's a leader because he plays with heart and puts the team first, unlike others who just look for a big paycheque. He's also a leader because their isn't many other leaders on the team and he's naturally next in line.Our d was very soft last year without boro and noticeably better when he returned.

Playing with heart is playing smart. Not going out chasing hits so you can pad the hits stats. Boro and the way he plays is one of the most selfish players on the team. He is constantly giving up 2 on 1s and opportunities to the other team. Boro is not a team player.

I loved Neil and Volchenkov. boroweicki isnt fit to tie their skates.

Are we using this thread for Leafs vs Sens part II - plan the parade?

Boucher should be a politician. Talk, talk, talk, while not saying a thing.

Boro, Methot and Phaneuf all chased hits it was part of the game plan , as long as a forward covered.

It became less of the plan because Methot left, Phaneuf became much slower and Boro had injury problems. Teams we're then able to cross our blueline freely.

 

[Back in Black]

Much better camera angles compared to last nights game....

If ceci looks terrible can we comment or is it “silly to rate anyone on these games”

Methot never chased hits. Phaneuf did but it's nothing compared to how Boro chases hits. He constantly leaves his partner out to dry.

I'd say anyone who just shows up to criticize the GDT for not suiting their tastes in discussion is definitely worse.

Just because I don't comment often doesn't mean I'm not here. As a few posters have discovered anytime you say anything that doesn't go along with the group think you get attacked, called names, told to psss off, etc. etc. Why would want to shut down the ones who still want to enjoy the team despite the situation? Does it bother you that much that people aren't as angry as you? I get the need to criticize, we have 20,000 threads to do that in, so to continue to read the same thing again in the GAME thread can get annoying... more annoying than...well, I'll let you finish that thought.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Oh look ceci stuck in his own end again

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I love how our org loves Paul Carey lmao.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Good pace, Good Start .. a couple good chances to jump out in front.

We have no money for multiple GDTs
Let's have 88 games on this one*


*assuming were not making the PO

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Lajoie just missed on that shot from the high slot.

 

[JungleBeat]

Englund & Bergman don’t have a future in the NHL IMO.

 

[SENATOR]

Balcers is the best so far!

 

[Back in Black]

Nice seeing SEXTON in the lineup, knowing his dad was involved with the return of the SENS in the 90's...

 

[SensFactor]

Balls to the wall Balcers looks good

 

[ElRossoMatt]

Nice seeing SEXTON in the lineup, knowing his dad was involved with the return of the SENS in the 90's...

You could tell why he is a nobody in this league by watching what he did on that 3-on-1 break created by Balcers though.

 

[sens13]

what's the attendance tonight?

 

[Daffy]

Jaros looking excellent.

 

[Puikiou]

Jaros and Lajoie were head and shoulders above anybody else on that blueline in the first period.

 

[czechcanadian]

what's the attendance tonight?

Mostly Toronto fans lol

 

[BonkTastic]

Both.

 

[Tundraman]

Jaros looking excellent.

Jaros and Harpur have not looked bad at all. Would need to see them against class-A opponents at some point but they have shutdown potential. Jaros certainly hasn't hurt his chances this 1st period.
