The Senators are going to waltz right into the playoffs.

[Spring in Fialta]

You can't be 100% sure of that


If they miss the playoffs this season, that will be six straight years of missing. They last made the playoffs in 2017.

If you're going to get on your soapbox at least get the facts right

Awesome. Six then. What trash. On top of all of their off-ice bullshit. And LOL at the idea that you even suggest a jinx thread has any bearing on what happens to a team.

Oh, I definitely don't think that it does. I'm just saying that you can't be 100% sure that it doesn't. Unless of course you've uncovered the cosmic secrets of the universe and our very existence, that which mankind has been striving to do for millennia. Given your level of discourse, however, I find that incredibly unlikely (about as unlikely as a "jinx thread" affecting real world events in any way).

Trash franchise. Hope they miss.


Should they miss the players this year, that will be the seven straight misses, including two-three after having declared the rebuild over and making moves to win now. Missing the playoffs is a brutal result for that franchise at this point.

What a loser post. Spell check? Grammar check? I can barely tell what you are trying to say. This was the first season anyone actually thought they had a chance and they are pushing. Scorched earth rebuilds take a while when you have an owner that was not trying to win and save $$$. You should get ready for it, your team is just starting. Going to be a very long and painfull process, with that many bad contracts the habs have, no superstar and no number 1 d man. Its not going to happen any time soon. Used the new coach bump at the start of a rebuild too. Yikes.

 

[OmniSens]

Not after games like last night. What a goose egg... That being said, they landed in Chicago, looking towards Seattle. Brutal performance, weren't ready at all.

Habs are back to competing for a playoff within 2 years but you stay mad.

And what kind of dumb logic is it to suggest that teams should keep bad coaches? I know the Senators have a long history with that but the Canadiens aren't planning on getting rid of MSL for a long time if they can help it.

Six straight. Don't forget.

Who's mad...

Keep telling yourself that. Sens will just continue to beat up on them, way better foundation better in every spot.

I didnt say teams should keep bad coachs but getting a new coach when you are trying to tank and finishing 7th last is about as bad a way to do it as you can. The message wears thin and by the time the Habs are anything close to good his message will be going in one ear out the other.

Scorched earth rebuild heard of it?

Scorched earth rebuilds are idiotic. As shown by Pierre Dorion proclaiming 'the rebuild is over' and watching his team finish at the bottom.

 

[Kamina]

the chances are at 25%. their terrible november is such a burden

You do understand why the sens did a scorched earth rebuild right? It was the owner, or have you been living under a rock or are you being intentionally obtuse? Pierre Dorion was a bargain bin puppet for said owner. He wont be here much longer once new ownership comes in.

They arent at the bottom right now and their two best players are 20 and 21 years old. They are just starting to scratch the surface of what they are capable of. Id be more concerned about how much Suzuki has been struggling considering he is Montreals best player. Unless they win the draft lottery this year who is Montreals franchise player going to be?

So a trash franchise. Like I said.

Not sure why you continue going on about Montreal. They don't have any bearing on what happens to Ottawa. But keep deflecting.

 

[LarKing]

Make the playoffs? The Sens already won the cup a few weeks back. What a silly thread.

Your definition of 'Trash Franchise' is interesting. They are a franchise that is about to be sold for 800 + Million is getting a new rink downtown has an amazing young core and is pushing for a playoffs spot.

The only person that is deflecting is you. Montreals your team. Its an absolute mess right now, dont throw stones living in a glass house.

Beating a team into rebuilding isnt the equivlant of winning a cup. What a silly comment.

The Senators are going to waltz right into the playoffs.

I said it a month ago, and everyone laughed. But they are soon in a playoff position, making big gains the last several weeks.

Tonight they are beating the Blue Jackets 4-1, outshooting them 23-3.

No offence, but thread titles like this make me want to hate the Sens, and I am a die-hard Sens fan lol!

Sens are waltzing nowhere after getting a dose of reality check against the Hawks last night, the young bucks should learn (and fast) that there are no easy nights in the next 6-weeks. Maybe this is the last bit of motivation they needed, but here I go again with my glass half-full mode (vs. years of glass empty since 2017 playoffs).

I don't think you'll see too many Wings fans upset that we traded non-core pieces for great returns. When does the banner go up?

Well, they are laughing again.

Well done!

Keep it to the Senators forum , or it might bite you in the butt. They are laughing again after last night.

Laughing after one loss is silly.

Well, they are laughing again.

Well done!

Laughing is silly. Especially considering how their competitors for a wild-card spot have been playing.

I would prefer a team does a scorched Earth rebuild rather than rebuild a team that finishes 9th in the conference one year, 10th the next year, 11th the next year, 9th the next year, and so on.

Trying to rebuild while at the same time trying to be competitive simply lands a team in purgatory.

With some exceptions (the Bruins, for example), the pathway to becoming a serious contender and eventual Stanley Cup winner is usually a direct result of finishing in last-place (or close to it) for several years. This is how you manage to get franchise-shifting players on your roster.

Penguins, Blackhawks, Lightning, and Capitals. Look up those team's rosters and then look at many of their key players. Then look up what draft position those players were picked.

Even arguably the Kings most important piece (Doughty) was picked 2nd-overall.

If we want to discuss the Senators, then if anything they didn't scorch the Earth enough. Because if they could have successfully tanked for one more season, then that would have gotten them one of Power/Beniers/McTavish (all of whom would look very good in a Senators jersey).

The Lightning and Blackhawks never went scorched earth. This is the sort of stuff that gets repeated but is blatantly false. Chicago were signing Khabibulin and Aucoin to big $ and trading futures for Martin Havlat while they drafted Kane and Toews. The Lightning kept Lecavalier and St.Louis, traded Richards in an attempt to get a starting goalie and re-signed Prospal to a 4 year-deal while drafting Stamkos and Hedman. These teams tried to compete and just sucked organically.

Scorched Earth rebuilds aren't as common as people think and turn out horribly more often than not.

Well with the contracts on your team, you should hope they scorch earth it.

Pretty telling that all Sens fans can do is bring up the Habs instead of defending their own team on its own merits. Six straight my friends. Count them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!
