I don't want Brady and Stu on the same line though. I was at the Edmonton game and said to my buddy "They just quit." Stu made a line change and looked at the rafters. It wasn't a "woah is me" look. It was a "are you f***ing kidding me?! we gonna keep doing this?" look. He came out harder the next shift, the rest of the team didn't. There is something going on in that dressing room. Not a bad thing, but everybody isn't on the same page. I think that's what the coaches and management are trying to sort out.

Idk about Giroux and Perron on the same line, they are probably our two slowest forwards.
Maybe swap Perron and Amadio?

I’d like to see what Perron could do with better players, as he has some finish, and can make plays. It’s worth a try, as having scoring issues atm.

That's fair. I don't have the answers, I just like the idea of trying to put Pinto on the wing in top 6, with Grieg moving back to 3C, while keeping slow guys like G & Perron off Stu's line.

Stick Pinto at center with Brady. Run Norris at 3rd with Greig on his wing.

It's intriguing, but I really want to see Pinto tried at wing atm, personally speaking.

He's a right shot. The only right shot center. We could use a right shot wing though.

With how much the team is struggling to get wins, I'm prepared to pick up any steamy pile of dung and fling it at the wall. I think Pinto is our 6th best offensive player and the top 6 could use a shot in the arm change right now. A guy like G going down to the 3rd line could make it easier for him to make an impact too. I dunno. I'm just a guy at a desk wishing we had the answers.
I also was thinking I want to see 2 guys that can skate to play with Stu and change the look of his line. Pinto is a good skater.

Lol. I'm usually on edibles or vaped it when I'm watching Sens games, so maybe my opinion is a bit skewed.

I was at work when we beat Buffalo to make the playoffs for the first time. The whole kitchen staff was at the bar watching..and the servers kept telling us about orders they where punching in. The Chef told them to go away, important things where happening. We all laughed and laughed...with the customers. Hehehe.
When we made the finals the game was on the radio. We where clanking pots and pans all game. The radio was ahead of the tv feed so the customers knew what was up before it happened all game....they bought us shots for not getting to watch it.
I'm tired of the bullshit with this team. Get it done.

Yep, saw a brief clip on one of the intermissions last game talking about Dany Heatley. Showed some clips of him burying goals in the 2005-07 era. The Sens were an absolute juggernaut in those days, running teams out of the building regularly. Would be nice to taste that again.

Yeah, he hasn’t been very good at all. He’s starting to engage more, and the emotion is there, but he needs to start producing. Playingb with Ostapckuck and Grieg may help. Not sure Cousins helps much with Offence, though he is a puck hound.

That moustache was ridiculous. Disgusting idea for most people. Yeah…it was offensive.

If Pinto were any good, he would make his linemates better. But he is slow. Slow to react. Slow to shoot. Slow to transition. Must be nursing an injury

Needs more shots too, this season averaging only 1.7 shots per game and last two season his average was 2.2
