GDT: The SENS Express Storms into Cowboy Country (Calgary), 9:00PM EST, TSN5/RDS

[Relapsing]

I'm gonna be tired tomorrow, but all worth it to watch Ullmark play like that again. More points in the bank. Go Sens Go !

Im sleep posting over here. So worth it

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

 

[Big Muddy]

Played poorly, but hung around, bent, and got the 2 points.

That's great to see. Finding a way to win those games is huge.

Yes, not a good game and you wonder how they managed to win, but you take the 2 points & run.

Norris trending towards invisible territory again...trade bait?

0 shots, 2/9 on faceoffs, -1

 

[starling]

How are teams with -22 (Pitts) and -19 (Boston) still around. That's 30 more goals allowed than Ottawa (+8).

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I did not see a penalty. What did you see?

Now have 36 points in 32 games. Got to keep the wins coming to compete for a playoff spot.

A sens stick flies up and catches him and he’s skating by the net

He had a bad game like most of the team. Not a big deal.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I dunno, this is about as solid a lineup as we've had and there's no one to replace him with in that spot unless you want to go back to Greig who was even less of a presence.

I think it’s time for crookshank

Yup, outside of Tampa, the +- of the teams in the wildcard race is dang crazy negative.

Meh. They lose in regulation if the refs do their job and call off his kicked in goal. Wouldn't have gotten a stick to the face in that case.

Wasn’t really a kick. They looked at it and determined no kick

 

[swiftwin]

Was at the game. Super awesome finish. Lots of salty fans about that missed call though. Flames bench was also livid.

 

[StutzlingAway]

Boston's lost 8-1, 8-2, 7-1, and plenty of loses giving up 4-5 so I guess that does that.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Glad they recognized that at least. Take the 2 points and forget about it. It's refreshing we can play bad now and still get points for once

It was definitely Timmy's worst game in like, a month(up until OT, that is).

 

[Knave]

They determined Pinto slashing the ice was a penalty among a long list of other things so far this season.

Huberdeau lifted his skate off the ice and motioned it towards the puck making contact. If that's not kicking then I don't know what is.

It's one of those "we'll call the letter of the law against Ottawa and the spirit of the law against whoever they play".

There's not even an argument in my mind. I've seen skates come off the ice trying to stop, I've done it a million times when I played and it looks nothing like what Huberdeau did which was... an obvious kick at the puck.

If you want to call the spirit of the law and say "that's not an egregious kick", fine. But call every game like that. And not "well Stutzle put his stick on the ice but it knocked the Carolina player's stick out of his hands, NO GOAL!"

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

The bottom six has done most of the heavy lifting in these past 4 games. Hopefully that means the top-six dry spell is ending. The timing would be perfect.

 

[swiftwin]

I don't feel like this was as big a steal as y'all think it is. Sens didn't play exactly well but they still fought hard and you know Brady and Stu can win it in OT no matter what if we make it there.

With that said, there's no doubt they'll have to be better against their next two opponents.

I agree. We got outplayed, but it wasn't a flat out steal. We played a safe road game, limited the high danger chances, and let Ullmark do his thing.

These are the types of wins we've been missing in the past

Yes. Was thinking it was gonna happen tonight, but it will.

Stutzle just said it was one of the worst games of the year.

It was.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Gaudette played 10 minutes tonight.

Green seeing what I’m seeing. Guy needs to go back to the bottom 6 asap.

Amadio is worse than Gaudette. Gaudette is at least in the vicinity of creating offense. Amadio is just a black hole.

The entire team sucked tonight (with the exception of Ullmark). Calgary consistently pinned us in our zone. And when the puck was in theirs, they calmly exited with little difficulty.

Ottawa had no business winning this game. But they found a way.

I actually thought our 4th line was the most effective. At least they came in hard on the forecheck, crashed and banged and caused some turnovers. I really hope they bring their A game against Vancouver. It won't be pretty if they don't.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Stutzle just said it was one of the worst games of the year.

It was.

This is true, but it's also true that we haven't had more than a couple really bad games.

Amadio is worse than Gaudette.

Not even close

 

[PlayOn]

Stutzle just said it was one of the worst games of the year.

It was.

It was, but just in the sense that the Sens had no real sustained offensive pressure and could not make anything happen. But for a lot of it Calgary didn’t either (although they were better than us) and we weren’t giving them insane chances.

It’s the game management piece that has always been missing. I think they knew they didn’t have their legs but instead of trying to cheat for offense they just kept things simple. Obviously Ullmark allows you to do that. But I am happy they recognized where they were at and didn’t start blowing the zone early, they are getting smarter.

First posst in like months, going to buy tickets for games. The win streak has me conviced that they can make it in. Good teams find a way to win when your playing bad, in past seasons we never won if we played worst then the other team, now with Ullmark we can win games were not supossed to win and thatss what makes the difference in the end, but except for this game the team has outplayed the opposition for what like 10 games?
