Management Travis Green [Head Coach]

[Tuna99]

Green’s gotta feel happy tonight how dominant his team has been, doesn’t this feel like the start of Jacques Martin’s run but a bit better knowing we have the right guys for the playoffs.

He should and he shouldn't. They look amazing for a game or two then shit the bed vs Montreal or Buffalo, so clearly a lot of work to do on consistency.

Indeed, but given their inconsistency over the past five seasons, it will likely take some time to overcome that particular shortcoming.

I would assume that's where Green will earn his money. He'll need to make in game adjustments and sent the bottom six out to spark. I'm not sure, but if we can come out like that 90 percent of the time, we're a beast.

Ullmark being calm and collected also helps, but they were dynamite as a team

Team is play with cohesion and coordination we haven’t seen in a long time.

Nice to see a coaching change make a positive difference.

Another tough stretch coming up after Philly

@car
EDM
VGK
VAN (likely with Demko)

Need to go .500 through that stretch then some needed relief with:

CAL
@sj
@LA
@Ana
DET
NAS
NYI
ANA

Beat Philly and keep up our strong play at home and we could find ourselves 4-5 games above .500 by December 11th. We would be 28 games in which is just over the 1/3 mark with a 16-12 record good for 32 pts and needing another 62 pts to make the playoffs which means a 31-23 record which is essentially maintaining pace.

This league isn't easy.

Senators record after 16 games, last season….. 8 wins, 8 losses

Senator record after 16 games, this season …… 8 wins, 8 losses


Only difference is they have one more point this season, after 16 games, than last season.

They are very visibly a better team regardless of the record.

And anyway, it was December that did them in last year. They have to avoid lengthy losing streaks and instead put together a nice winning streak eventually. The latter feels more likely this year.

There's actually some pretty significant differences in how they've been playing, night and day really.

Last year, the underlying numbers, such as xGF%, were bottom 5 in the league, this year we are 6th in xGF% at 5v5.
Last year our 5v5 xGA/60 was 26th worst in the league, this year we are tied for 2nd best.
Last year after 16 games, we were out of a playoff spot by pts%, this year we currently hold a wild card spot.

The eye test makes it even more obvious how much better they are playing.

We are 3-3-1 in November.
