Great job by the Huska and the coaches. Another solid night for Markstrom.
Just got home from the game. It was fun, I tell ya!
PS Saw Conroy and Maloney at their box both wearing grim unhappy faces…

Are you insinuating that this game is the Hockey equivalent of Goretex?
It did feel a bit over-insulated at times, yeah…

At even strength, they have been outscored 42-29 while he is on the ice - worst on the team. By a lot. Hard to argue with that stat, right?
But short-handed, in the 70 minutes of time that has been on the ice killing penalties, the score has been 6-6. Yes, 6 PP goals against, and 6 shorties for! That sounds like a hell of a defensive player, right?
So which is it? Is he great, or does he suck? It seems rather unlikely that an elite PKer is also the worst defensive forward on the team.
I think the most likely scenario is that there is stuff going on at even strength that isn't his fault (the bad goaltending for instance).

Because tonight is the night we turn the corner! Right?….please say yes

Come on, get something from this game
Quote:
Let's all get super stoned before puck drop to make this watch bearable
Quote:
Do we lay an egg tonight?
Its been a couple games since we just didn't show up at all.
Quote:
Dont know what to expect. Dont know what to hope for. Let the basic training continue to break them down further to improve the tank or hope they start pulling out of it early like Dorion finishing a rebuild? I guess either way, i aint even gonna be mad again.
“SHOOOOOT THE PUCK!!”
Quote:
SHOOT THE BLOODY PUCK! Markstroms on his butt and no shot
Quote:
LMAO THESE GUYS PLAYING CATCH IN THE SLOT WITH THE TENDY ON HIS ASS LMAO
Quote:
If that play doesn’t just sum up our season perfectly. Open net with markstrom facing the boards and stutzle and Giroux are playing hot potato
Quote:
FFS shoot the puck
Quote:
Shoot the ####ing puck
Quote:
G I love you to death but ####ing shoot. Please. Take some more risks.
Quote:
Giroux has to shoot that...
Quote:
Open fing net and they throw the puck away. Bench time.
Zary ties it
Quote:
Can't clear.
Other Team scores.
Weird.
Quote:
Omg, the hockey gods finally sent some luck our way and then we give it right back...
Quote:
I just don't understand how that first goal even happens. Like it blows my mind. There's a very easy and simple play there to move the puck up the ice off the boards and clear the zone, but not only does Kelly elect to pass across the ice, through traffic which obviously gets picked off, but half the players (including Kelly) don't even identify the puck has been turned over and just go for a change instead! Like how the hell can there be a total lack of awareness through the entire team like this? It's insane.
Quote:
You just can’t fix stupid lol.
Quote:
Allergic to leads
Quote:
Who threw that back into the zone and went for a change for that turnover?
Quote:
That is spectacular. You....don't make that up.
Quote:
Clown work in the dzone.
Kelly soft play to the middle, Chyc takes a wild swing instead of coralling the puck.
Quote:
We are the dumbest team in the known universe.
Quote:
Chabot with a close eye on what is happening right in front of him as usual after he makes an awful turnover.
Quote:
Chabot moving in slow motion again lol
Quote:
Beautiful giveaway there in front of our net....
Quote:
it is farcically easy to score on this team.
Quote:
It really does look like they are at training camp level.
Sharangoalvich!
Quote:
You could see that happening with Norris in a puck battle and Chabot backing him up within 10 feet of the blueline.
Quote:
Seriously, why not just skate to the blue line, turn around and slap shot on our own net…save the effort of flogging around trying to exit the zone
Quote:
Norris just can't make plays. Kills the PP too often.
Quote:
The mood on this forum is so in the gutter it actually makes the on ice product seem relatively better.
Quote:
I just don’t understand how we got this bad.
Quote:
Nobody supports Joseph, and it gets turned over....
Quote:
Can’t even begin to describe how weak these guys are in their own zone. A dude without a stick out fought our players.
Quote:
Stutzle making 4M from his ass and 4M on his skates.
Quote:
Just in bad positions. Nobody open for quick outlets. Puck watch and leave the guy 10 feet in front of the net wide open.
Quote:
Like watching toddlers play twister
Hanifin on the Backhand
Quote:
See you in a month Chabot
Quote:
Chabot maybe bear down man.
Quote:
How about every other player on the ice who didn't clear the zone, who made lazy plays, who didn't cover their assignments? Hanafin has walked in to the slot on multiple occasions in this game.
Quote:
Thats what i am talking about Chabot. Just standing there 1 on 2 backs in on his goalie screens him. I cant watch him play anymore. He's the most frusterating player I can remember. Atleast when Spezza played pond hockey he would actually score sometimes. No team is taking that contract.
Quote:
Oh another bouncy puck handcuffing our players.
Quote:
It’s like a Tommy-gun aimed at our own foot.
Quote:
Nice to see the flames flying at us to start this period lmao.
Man they really thought this period was gonna be a cakewalk. Where the f*** did batherson just go? Man stay with your man f***. The guy your trying to skate too already has a f***ing man
Wait maybe not lol
Quote:
Lost coverage and no will... No way that guy should be allowed to skate in there unchallenged.
Quote:
what are the forwards doing there?
Quote:
I’m going to dump on Hamonic there, he gives Zary the position to screen. Korpisalo likely saw nothing.
Quote:
Batherson leaves his man and he walks in and scores
Quote:
Regulation loss on the way
Blake Goalman
Quote:
You love to see it
Quote:
Really? Come on boys. CLEAR THE f***ING ZONE.
Quote:
Fourpisalo, baby! He's back.
Quote:
How did tkatchuk not get that puck out
Quote:
We’re never gonna win again
Quote:
Soft plays all over the ice. That puck has to be out.
Quote:
Did Hamonic just shoot it off the boards when he had ample time and open players to pass to?
Quote:
That's all he does. He plays the game like hot potato. The only play is to hammer it around the boards for him
Quote:
It's genuinely a simple play that they teach in Atom hockey. When pressured on the boards, but it up the wall. That's inexcusable at this level.
Quote:
My Stanley cup is never seeing Hamonic in a sens jersey again.
Quote:
Hamonic is a black hole offensively. As soon as a pass is made to him the play dies.
Quote:
We are stuck with Hamonic until summer 2025. Get used to complaining about him for the next ~70-120 games.
Quote:
Hamonic is so ####ing bad, just put him on unconditional waivers in prep for Pinto.
Quote:
Hard to isolate and solve specific issues with this bunch. There is just so many problems with how the team plays.
Sharangoalvich on a Rebound
Quote:
This team is cancer to my mental health. I can’t even enjoy watching the sport anymore.
Quote:
That bench shot made them all look defeated
Quote:
In the second half they had some flow in their game and confidence. This season a couple flashes early in the season then completely collapsed since.
Quote:
Crapin' for Macklin
Quote:
Watching this team try to breakout of their own zone is so painful to watch at times
Quote:
There ya go boys lol
We officially suck
Quote:
Blow yourselves up
Quote:
Omg this team sucks.
Quote:
We have sucked for 7 years
Quote:
#### i can't wait for the offseason so we can pretend this team won't be completely worthless again next year for a few weeks
Empty Net for Goalman
Quote:
When it rains it pours.
Quote:
Let’s watch literally any other team and try breaking the puck out like them. f***ing brutal.
Quote:
Well, on our way to another 0-5 road trip
Quote:
Lol. Such an easy team to play against.
Quote:
I’ve never seen a more pathetic response to a coaching change than from our top “stars”. Biggest losers i can recall seeing in this league.
Quote:
Way too easy to enter the zone and setup against this team.
Quote:
What a f***ing clown show.
Quote:
Like I have said before. This is the most unlikable team in Sens history.
Quote:
Stu especially is starting to really get on my nerves with how completely unable he's been to adjust to Martin's coaching style. Looks like a 5 year old who lost his puppy. Brady was too for a while but at least he's showing some flashes of his old self lately.
Quote:
Giveaway by Brady behind the Calgary net. Near giveaway by Batherson. Complete giveaway by Stuetzle for the empty net.
Quote:
This is the most mentally weak hockey team I’ve ever seen. You can just see the body language collapse when they give up a lead and the inevitable meltdown afterwards.
Quote:
The problem with this team are the players, the players we have aren't good enough. DJ was not the problem, the players we have are little boys, they're immature, and now that they're getting paid so they don't give a #### about playing the right way. Those players are an embarrassment!
Quote:
Holy ####, no. Yes, they're young, yes they're not mature enough, but dj was not the problem?
The damage he did coaching them as if they were a junior team is incredible. It'll take the rest of the year to even begin to get rid of the lazy bs he had going.
We'll need a hard coach next. No friends this time around.
Quote:
DJ was a glorified babysitter. That’s exactly the problem. He made sure the boys had fun and taught them nothing about how to play winning hockey and be professionals.
That’s why the GM is trying to find more veterans to show these guys what it takes to win.
Quote:
I love JM using the hot words we use in the sub to describe the team, like today he used my personal favourite “fragile”
Quote:
It's quite interesting, we have an extremely hard even entering the offensive zone, let alone maintaining possession in the o-zone to make plays.
But we also so easily allow odd man rushes and for the other team to get set up in our d-zone.
How tf do we fix this?
Quote:
They should hire Darryl Sutter as the coach mainly for our entertainment value
Pot, Kettle, and the Cauldron too
Quote:
The Senators are pure and utter ####e. I wonder if they’ll ever be good again
Quote:
They’re starting to give off Sabres vibes.
Rebuilds fail when you cap yourself out with a young roster that doesn’t win. Like Buffalo rebuild 1.0, Oilers 2010-14 1.0 rebuild, etc. You lose flexibility to do anything and become stuck.
Quote:
You can add 2000s Panthers to that list, the Jackets and Coyotes as well but they were an expansion team.
Quote:
you knew Flames were due a win to get close to .500
it's just what they do
Quote:
Im fine with that, they can continue to be average and never get a high enough pick that can turn into an actual franchise player.

Man oilers fans are hilarious with their collective amnesia. The gall to call out Ottawa when the only difference between the two teams is a generational player that the oilers lucked out to draft.
I would trade for tachuck. That guy is really struggling to stay composed on that team and do you blame him? Ottawa makes all these moves and still looks terrible. The goalie situation is their Achilles heel.
Ah well, we boosted the value of some guys and let’s not loose focus of what we are. Still middling but nice to put in a show for the home crowd. How is Goalman not our all star?
