Crosby knows whats upThat move on Crosby for his PP goal! like damn!
What makes the Sens two players (Sandy & Stu) so special that they're more likely to both become top-10-15 players then guys like Hughes, Beniers, Power, Dahlin, McDavid, Thompson, Makar, Mackinnon, Robertson, Bedard, Draisatil, Matt Tkachuk, Marner, Connor, Rantanen, Matthews, Cozens, Necas, Svechnikov, Caulfield, Hischier, Heiskanen, Dobson, Mactavish and SO MANY other contenders?
I've been one of his biggest supporters, but I just don't see that. Even though his offensive game is underrated, he simply does not have the offensive flair to be a top 5 player. Elite two-way defensemen are never in the top 5.
I think one of Stutzle's best attributes is his drive. Playing center has been huge for him and for the Sens. To play C he had to focus on improving his defensive play. He has the drive to be a great 200 foot all situations player. That's leadership by example. I think other players on the team should take notice.
Ok, and how many of these players are considered a top 5 player in the league? Just Makar?Sanderson's freshman numbers rival that of all the current top-end 2 way defenders to come from NCAA route.
Quite honestly, me saying that it's incredibly homeristic to say that Jimmy Stu & Sanderson has absolutely nothing to do with them. They've been amazing and I could never ask more from them.Bookmark the post, brother. Every game is closer to that realization.
He and Sanderson are the engines and real captains of the team.
and Batherson is PPG despite being a horror show most of the season. but yes nice night from Brady."Yay! Ottawa won the game in OT!"
"Stutzle with the nice assist to the game winning goal scorer with a 4 point night who I will identify as..."
Brady and Chabot could learn from that.
One of these things is not like the other.
You can desperately try to lump Brady in with Batherson and Chabot but I don't think they are in the same tier as far as inconsistency and disappointment in terms of their overall performance.
Sorry.
Can Brady be better? Sure.
Can Chabot and Batherson be a lot better? Absolutely.
Brady is a winger. Wingers have very different defensive responsibilities compared to defensemen and centers.Brady is one of the worst defensive players on the roster if not the worst. A lot of it because it does not seem like he knows what he is doing, but even worse is that he simply doesn't seem to care. Lots of floating.
Sets a bad example when the captain plays like that.
Sanderson and Stutzle care every shift, every second of the game. That's some real captain shit.

Well, those lists are subjective so it doesn't really matter if some random dude on HF does or doesn't think someone is a top 5 player.Ok, and how many of these players are considered a top 5 player in the league? Just Makar?
Having a defenseman in the top 5 is pretty rare. Lists like that are usually reserved for forwards. That would mean having him bumping out one of McDavid, Makar, Draisaitl, Matthews or MacKinnon. That also assumes that another young player like Jack Hughes, Bedard or even Stutzle don't also bump one of those 5 out.
I can totally see Sanderson having top 5 defenseman potential, maybe even Norris winning potential. But top 5 player? I don't see it.
The Chabot thing is true though. When he plays well so does the team. Sanderson has been way more consistent. Its obvious that for this team to be successful both have to play well.When Stü is going, the team is going
WhenChabotSanderson is going, the team is going
Okay, maybe an unnecessary dig at Chabby in the wrong thread. But in all seriousness, when Stützle is having a game this team is so much fun to watch. It feels like it’s about 50% of the games he’s firing on all cylinders (just my impression), I hope that percentage keeps going up.
And yeah, what a move on 87 to score.
Yawn. Just a brutal take. You clearly have never played but you know better than Brady Tkachuk how to play the game. haha. You really dont know how teams operate eh.Brady is one of the worst defensive players on the roster if not the worst.

My brother in Christ, Drake Batherson is on this team.
