Pre-Game Talk: SENS vs Leafs tonight ons SportsNet

[Magic Man]

Nasty dangle from Chlapik.

 

[swiftwin]

Chlapik looking great. Not just that move, but looks great on both sides on the puck. Playing like an NHL vet.

Chlapik channeling his inner Havlat there.

 

[Another Mr Lizard]

Ceci was terrible on that delayed penalty.

 

[Alex1234]

Kachook in front of the net will be lethal in couple of years

 

[Senscore]

Nasty dangle from Chlapik.

Why are you even here.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Chlapik with a little shake and bake

 

[BondraTime]

I hope Smith is on our PP all year

My Favourite play of last year was down by a goal on the PP with 20 seconds left, Karlsson and Hoffman wide open on the point, and Zack Smith takes a slapshot from the point that misses by 10 ft and wraps around the boards to end the game.

 

[Six Assets]

no one talks about Tkachuk's skill

 

[InTkachukWeTrust]

[SensFactor]

I miss pageau

 

[Another Mr Lizard]

Why are you even here.

Not sure we have the budget here for a metaphysical discussion.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Jaros >> Demelo

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Stone and Duchene really speak well

 

[Alex1234]

I miss pageau

I miss... nevermind

 

[czechcanadian]

Chlapik flyyying out there. Love what Tkachuk brings too

 

[Sensung]

Some weird decisions by Balcers, with and without the puck.

Probably just nerves and getting used to the system.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I miss pageau

Sens are going to miss him... They obviously are not very deep .. especially down the middle with NHL quality Cs. Duchene , Pageau, Tierney is not great but not terrible. Losing Pageau leaves a hole.

Bob Mckenzie is a nice dude. He's not biased, hes fair and keeps things neutral

Pretty much this. People who argue we should have given up the pick last year clearly have no understanding of statistics and probabilities.

 

[Tundraman]

Jaros and Harpur were very solid in the 1st and had a couple of so-so shifts in the 2nd. It's easy to point fingers when they don't have a great shift but a lot has to do with the forward line they play with and also the opponents. The 2nd period is always harder on the D because of the long change they can often get caught being too long on the ice if the forwards don't get the puck deep into the O-zone and have a degree of puck possession so they can change. Maybe this is true for everyone and I notice it with this team more but it seems to be a particular issue with the Sens.

 

[Stylizer1]

So no slap shots allowed?

 

[Inkling]

Pretty much this. People who argue we should have given up the pick last year clearly have no understanding of statistics and probabilities.

What the panel also didn't say was that giving up last year's pick and keeping next year would essentially saying to your team that you don't have any faith in them and that you're assuming that they're going to suck. Now they probably still may think that given the circumstances(!) but that's a message that no management should ever give to their team.

Oh my God just shoot the damn thing
