Pre-Game Talk: Washington vs SENS, Thursday 7:30 pm on TSN

[PatrickEaves]

Yeah, someone take BonkTastic's mouse away from him.

He's on a Like spree no mortal should be forced to endure.

Why though? This free increase in my stats will do me good in my next contract negotiations.

 

[NyQuil]

As of right now, he's our 6th Dman, and that's without Karlsson or Chabot in the lineup. Maybe he stays in at the expense of Wideman or Claesson when Karlsson comes back. And maybe he stays in should/when Chabot is called up, but his hold on that spot is certainly tenuous.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Maybe he'll play on the top line.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

I still believe wholeheartedly, though I'm sure there are people on HFSens that would disagree with me, that we don't go as far in the playoffs as we did last season, if Boro didn't get injured and thus forced out of the lineup.

Speak the truth Patty...if Borocop is out there trying to make arrests, he ends up reprimanded by the higherups for two minute segments and likely lose a few close games. Hopefully Boucher plays him as little as possible.

Either way, Caps are a team on the decline and are quite, quite beatable. This is one of the few cases (and garbage Detroit next Saturday) where I am quite confident in stating: "We got this."

Decline they may be in, but they are still a good team, and we are a team without Karlsson. I have no confidence in this team against anyone without Karlsson. Not to say we can't win, but I aren't confident against any team in the league without the best player on the planet on the ice.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I am going for the Sens this year.

 

[Micklebot]

Glad Wilson is suspended for this game. Last thing we need is another injury. ]

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I look forward to Boro being the 6th dman, playing like a 6th dman but still being the whipping boy of this board.

I am only looking forward to half of this

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I was looking for a new desktop image on google and found this dope wallpaper if anybody needs a new Sens one to celebrate the season opener.

I tried looking for the like button, but it appears as though I can't like my own posts; travesty of justice I say... If you don't even like yourself, who can you like. Kinda depressing if you ask me.

Boucher was saying on the radio that Pageau is not on the wing but Thompson will take draws on the left side. They don't even really conceptualize as lw/c/rw. More as F1, F2, F3. First man back is generally expected to take the down low duties.

 

[Back in Black]

I don't have a problem with Boro on Ovi!

P.S. Thanks for my very 1st LIKE @Bonk

Guy? Pierre?

 

[Bileur]

Guy? Pierre?

It's Boro himself

No that's the poster known as Leftwinglock

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

House band instead of organ guy? or instead of some singer for the national anthem?

I could get used to Big Sugar coming in every home game to play the national anthem.

Joe Bonamassa would be acceptable as well

Makes sense I guess. Center duties are really just who takes the faceoff in that case.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

A nice cherry on top of finally starting the season would be to have Nathan Walker make his debut against us. Been following him since well before he was drafted and I'm oh so psyched to see him crack the Caps roster.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

People should remember that when they say we are missing a #1C ... what it really means is we are missing a really good forward with the skill/size/strength/speed profile normally found in a #1C.

You mean like Auston Matthews?

 

[NyQuil]

You mean like Auston Matthews?

If Dorion knew what the hell he was doing, we'd have him on our roster right now.

Just need to build a package around Ceci, Ryan Dzingel and a 2nd.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

You mean like Auston Matthews?

not specifically , but he does fit that profile.. A winger that would fit the profile is Jamie Benn another is Patrick Kane and yet another is Patrick Laine.

What's interesting is this flies in the face of those saying that Centers have more defensive responsibility, and thus are more valuable. It also suggests that in our system, a winger should get equal consideration for the Selke. #stoneforselke

Face off numbers will always play a big role in winning the Selke though and that'll never come for Stone when guys like Bergeron are gods in the dot at the front of the conversation.

Hell no from a Sens fan perspective.

We don't need Auston Matthews, we already have Brown/White as Young talented center of near Matthews caliber. Also, that would be a marginal upgrade. So no thanks

Just think about the hole at D it would create. we cannot afford a hole like that

Yep this is totally reasonable.

I’m hopeful that things will work themselves out when Karlsson returns to the lineup. But as of right now I’m a little worried about Boro being our 6th dman.

Time will tell.
