SANDERSON, STÜTZLE, HELP SENATORS STAY STREAKING
After Ottawa conceded the first goal of the game, Tim Stützle (0-1—1) and Jake Sanderson (1-0—1) helped the Senators respond with two goals of their own before finishing the night with a 5-2 victory. Ottawa (29-20-4, 62 points) recorded multiple five-game winning streaks (also 6 GP from Dec. 11-21) in the same season for the first time since 2014-15 (7 GP & 5 GP) and moved within two points of idle Toronto (31-19-2, 64 points) for second in the Atlantic Division standings.

* Stützle’s assist was the 300th point of his career as he became the youngest player in Senators history to reach the mark (23 years, 19 days), besting Marian Hossa (24 years, 63 days on March 16, 2003). In fact, the only German-born player in NHL history to hit 300 NHL points in fewer games than Stützle (338 GP) is former Senators skater Dany Heatley (286 GP).

After all the years of missing out on the lotto, we received some redemption picking up Stutzle and Sanderson in the same draft! Pillars of the core!

Stutzle needs to release it from high danger areas.

He is frequently ragging the puck through a prime shooting area and skating himself below the goal line or to the boards.

Last night, Tampa went the other way and scored their third goal after another passed up shooting attempt turned into a rush the other way.

He does so many good things, but he needs to watch some Pastrnak tape (for example) to understand different release points that shooters use when in high danger areas. Create deception and shoot through defenders rather than let chances die on the vine.
 
If Stu can start winning more faceoffs he'll get more defensive zone deployment. If he does that and keeps up his current play he'll get more recognition for his defensive play

So I checked, thinking he’s been improving, he’s now at 41%, I remember him being about 27%.

From Dec 1 - 52%
That’s a good sign if he keeps it up.
 
@Senscore, @Relapsing, @frightenedinmatenum2 you guys post some of the funniest posts, thanks for keeping the boards lively and entertaining!

Oh, well, uh, my fellow earth traveler, how courteous of you to say that my, uh, compatriots and I provide a, oh, how do you say, a conduit for your continued cordial amusement. I'm truly flattered. It's spectacular, really, you see, how this little space, in cyberspace, this ethereal plane of digital existence, can bring us all... well...

... together.

Yep to all of this.

He has the puck in a shooting position from the high slot after going around the net a few times a game, but he refuses to let one go.

He also does his net drive to the point of having zero angle, so while it looks OK, he has basically no chance to score. A few simple adjustments could make him a far more dangerous player - and that would be scary for the rest of the league.

He's often alone when he does that. Nobody's making himself open to give him some kind of passing option or to open a shooting lane for him.

In spite of this he has a modest (6 game) points streak going with 9 points.
 
Missed the third but man he had a tough time at our blue line in tge first two periods. Must've turned it over 5 times. This is where a guy like amadio earns his pay. Simple plays don't have to be dumps down the ice.
