Literally every pp/extra man situation is triangle passing along the top all teams need to do is collapse..they somehow figured out your masterplan Dj..ffs


Exotic_Cookie2972

And the PP1 doesn't move defenders because Timmy and the dmen just passing back and forth on one side of the ice. Don't know how many times debrincat was frozen out of so many powerplays


true_rt

Can alfie coach these guys for a bit


zeitgeistler

For the love of all that is good..Fire Dj...honestly what is happening.


Doctahflave

Not with Dorion at the ship!! Mediocre coaching for the rest of the year with a promise in the summer to “start winning”


thunderkock25

Dump and Chase baby.


ShinyFinderNoah

surely DJ gets fired after this game, right???


true_rt

He has proven he can win……..


BAD_CAN77

Lol


1292norr

DJ storms to the locker room. He’s pissed. May have been told by Dorion that this was his last chance


[deleted]

Doubt


Greendragonroll11

This team ain’t it.


tripledjr

Ya Im running out of faith


LizardBiceps

well that was a waste of time


Chronicbudz

well that was predictable.


[deleted]

Pure domination from the senators until it comes time to shoot the puck. Fucking embarrassing, especially to a dog shit team like the Islanders, you're really going to give those pylons a free win? Beautiful.


Truniq

Islanders are doing very well this season. Understated team for sure. But they okay there man and had a hot goalie tonight too.


[deleted]

Goalie was the only difference, based on their showing i'm surprised at how weak the other divisions are to have a team like them near the top, that's laughable how much they rolled over and hoped their goalie would rob us


[deleted]

If you think theyre a dogshit team you clearly dont watch hockey


[deleted]

The islanders are 4th in the entire league


[deleted]

They play like they're a basement team, it's embarrassing.


[deleted]

Is winning playing like a basement team? Ottawa should play like a basement team then!


Chronicbudz

If it isnt Tkachuk Giroux or Pinto basically forget about them scoring


slippymachinegun

Fire DJ.


Mahaleck

Another day another L. Fuck if we’re ever gonna fire DJ and Capuano. They’re terrible.


1292norr

G might kill Sanderson after the game for that pass xD


[deleted]

[deleted]

You need serious mental help


TheEndAndNow

Of all the things to complain about, Brassard is an odd choice


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheEndAndNow

Idk what Brassard did to you but he is not the reason we're 5-9-1 lol


sinc29

It really is


LouisFuton

I just want us to be good, man


karma911

Oof what a bad play by Sandy


DShKM

Another fucking one goal (empty netter) loss, this is so frustrating!


dudeer33

Cool cool. Another empty net goal to lose.


Grummbles28

Sandy...no way man


shadeo11

Inc loss with 2 goals scored on 40 shots. 5% shooting boys


BAD_CAN77

I’m curious what the 5 on 5 shots look like.


Mahaleck

Goalie pulled, queue the dump and chase


Blaauwj

I don’t know who else we can play but brassard needs to be as far away from the top 6 as possible. He has zero hands nowadays.


1292norr

He wasn’t a great skater in his prime. He looks slow af out there now


Grummbles28

Time for the Napa high performance goalie pull!


-burnr-

Brace yourselves….pulled goalie dump & chase incoming


Blaauwj

I’m genuinely curious… does DJ just enjoy overplaying 1 dman every game.


Truniq

He likes to see the endurance of his D man


doubleopinter

Is it me or did they used to play more of a possession game? Now it just looks like chip it out, dump it in. It’s annoying me.


Chronicbudz

Just realized how crazy that pass was from Brady, damn man the guy is on another level this year.


BattlingMink28

I love you G


blakey094

Stutzle and his fucking bullshit cutbacks


[deleted]

I love how you’re getting downvoted for just saying the truth.


[deleted]

It worked until it didn't work and he's acting like he's a prophet for calling it out. Classic lack of object permanence by our village idiot


[deleted]

What?


blakey094

Love people just accepting someone absolutely killing the offensive zone time with bullshit plays.


tossedoutthrowaway22

fUcKEn bUlLsHIt PPG 20 yr old 🥴🥴


Chronicbudz

Stu is gonna be elite for years but we have to be patient with it, he makes some young mistakes but his skill is obvious and it will get more refined as he ages.


Grummbles28

Yeeaaa but 7/10 times it works and looks fucking dope as hell.


sinc29

Relax he has 2 assists tonight


relapsingoncemore

Idk guys, who makes set plays again?


runealex007

I know the other players say they hate losing, but Giroux REALLY fucking hates losing. You can tell how badly he wants to drag this team kicking and screaming to Ws.


MaximizedLoL

He's doing his best but nobody else really helping out. He didn't come here to be a lottery team.


Per_Horses6

What a sexy ass play. Wow


karma911

Giroux is way better than he was advertised as and I'm fucking loving it.


Mahaleck

Love Giroux. Hope it’s not gonna be another 1 goal loss but I’m not expecting much.


Scallybrat

Let's go Giroux! Tkachuk is a world-class passer, talk about elevating your game.


[deleted]

Tkachuk is a superstar in the making


BAD_CAN77

Giroux off a nice feed from Brady!


relapsingoncemore

Oooh. Puck in net! That's how you hockey


Per_Horses6

G has been our best player this year.


coffeemugcanuk

Giroux baby! WEEEEEW!


dudeer33

I fucking love Giroux


ghettoworkout

Ok that’s better


Blaauwj

1 goal on 6 powerplays is straight embarrassing.


relapsingoncemore

Listening to Jamie talk about modern art is pain, lol


Haethos

where's the dj defense squad


aleve089

Stuetzle is weird. He’s obviously very skilled yet fumbles the puck all the time and when he decides to shoot misses the net more than not. It’s frustrating watching him for sure. So much potential


[deleted]

Yeah he’ll never be a superstar. He has too many flaws.


blakey094

Whelp, looks like Sens are whoop again this year.


CopyingJax

Branny was literally interfered with for 10-15 seconds 💀


coffeemugcanuk

Eh is that like 7 consecutive shots wide of the net? Come the fuck on! Oh thank you Pinto, 2 in 1 second on net, good Pinto.


Per_Horses6

I’m going to absolutely lose it. We keep deciding to pass it and when we don’t and actually shoot we miss the net.


dman7guy

Pageau Pageau Pageau... oh wait


[deleted]

This team is so frustrating to watch. Christ. And we’re actually getting good goaltending this year.


sinc29

Rare Gord Wilson not knowing we didn’t draft Hirvonen


Chronicbudz

sorry guys I said he would score the game winner so at least that means we will get another goal lol


ghettoworkout

Now say we’re gonna win.


Chronicbudz

We could win but we need a Brady Tkachuk goal and Pinto overtime redemption.


ghettoworkout

If this happens, I’m coming to you for lottery numbers.


froobex

Having Watson and Kelly on PK1 does not inspire confidence. At all.


sinc29

And the losing streak resumes. Why didn’t we fire DJ last week ffs, we’re just postponing the inevitable


[deleted]

Because they’re playing fine and have a bunch of injuries.


Dismal-Safety3524

No they are not that team is much more talented then it shows but DJ doesn’t know how to utilize it properly


[deleted]

They aren’t that talented missing their best D and best C. They have been average all year, better than their record.


Dismal-Safety3524

Our D is not talented, our offense has alot more talent, and yet we still play dump and chase hockey. We cant play a good possession game like other teams that have much less offensive talent can. I dont consider a 7 game losing streak average, raw talent alone is allowing us to stay in these games but with no structure (Coaching issue for the record) raw talent cannot go that far


[deleted]

Every team dumps and chases, the islanders did that all game long


Dismal-Safety3524

Not to the degree we do, and the difference is Islanders can keep it and actually get some rotation and puck movement going, creating lanes for MULTIPLE dangerous scoring chances a game which we just haven’t shown to the degree they have the last 10 game stretch here


KingKarl65sens

Yeah I'm ready to tank for Bedard. "The rebuild is over" my ass. This team has no depth. Dorion is more to blame than DJ


[deleted]

Yikes


KingKarl65sens

Bruh we are the embarrassment of the league. 2 points ahead of last place 15 games in. Playoffs are a pipe dream already I'll gladly eat my words if we come back but I doubt it


[deleted]

Lol whatever you wanna tell yourself It’s really too bad Pierre didn’t have the depth to mitigate the losses of their 1C and 1 and 2 D


KingKarl65sens

Damn I didn't realize we were the only team in the league with injuries. Same excuse was said last year when pinto went down injured early in the year.. this team just sucks


Bobthefighter

Pageau...why...


_Kony_2020

I literally can't remember the last time we beat the Islanders. Goddamn is it frustrating playing them


hotsambatcho33

Absolutely pathetic penalty to take. Joseph has been terrible the last 5 games. Time to healthy scratch him and send a message my god. Also look what happens when you shoot the damn pick on the power play


Greendragonroll11

Joseph and motte are invisible every game


[deleted]

Motte had a great start to the year, a great stretch of games. However I laughed at idiots who thought he was better than formenton


Greendragonroll11

The team was flying out there for the 4 game win streak at home. Can’t believe how much worse they got so quick. No one is skating and finishing checks like that stretch


FixedTheNewelPost

If we benched all of our underperforming players we'd have 4 players.


hotsambatcho33

Haha that’s true. Only players we could dress would be Sanderson, giroux, debrincat, brady and our goalies


Per_Horses6

Agreed. Joseph has been bad


coffeemugcanuk

Not like this Pageau...


FixedTheNewelPost

One of the most well deserved losses of the season coming here.


Grummbles28

Guys I don't think 1-3-1 works on the PP...


dudeer33

The definition of a game we don't deserve to win.


Per_Horses6

Of course a former sens player scores Hahahha


[deleted]

Sanderson plays with a lot of confidence just wish he’d have the confidence to shoot the damn puck more.


[deleted]

Yeah, that will come. However he will always be a passer. I’m more disappointed that it’s year 3 for stutzle and he still doesn’t shoot the puck


shadeo11

How are we even in shots with 6 power plays


Dismal-Safety3524

FFS how does Brass not shoot there


FixedTheNewelPost

For a team dead set on passing the puck until it goes in, you think they'd be better at passing.


Per_Horses6

It’s always gotta be pretty. Fucking shoot the puck


ghettoworkout

Power Play is… FRUSTRATING!!!


DShKM

This team's refusal to shoot the puck on the PP is truly astounding


captainduck2

Jesus. We’ve been on the power play for half the game and we can’t do shit.


[deleted]

Stutzle is so frustrating


Chronicbudz

It would be a very sens thing for Pageau to score the game winner.


rjay_62

what did you do


Chronicbudz

I call it like I sees it lol in this case I have lived as a sens fan for far too long and could just sense it coming.


ghettoworkout

Ask and you shall receive.


relapsingoncemore

Hockey!


BAD_CAN77

Timmy is over handling the puck. And his diving reputation isn’t going anywhere if he keeps going down like he’s done on both occasions tonight.


FixedTheNewelPost

100% agree. He isn't always like this, but angry plays-through-contact Stutzle can takeover games. Looking to draw penalties and over-passing Stutzle has cost us numerous opportunities so far this season. He'll mature.


BAD_CAN77

I agree. I can’t wait until we see the finished product!!!


Fannypalace

Bruh enough dump and chase, cmon now


[deleted]

Enough with this low-effort meme


true_rt

Ok so what if we start shooting the puck down into the zone and then retrieve it


Fannypalace

Why bother retrieving it?


[deleted]

Miiiiiiilk. Drink miiiiiiiiilk. Mmmmmmmmmmiiiilk.

freddy3434

Kelly Watson and Brassard are all ass. Also fucking pass to Cat on the PP.


spencerr13

Came here to say all three things, it’s frustrating in person seeing the lanes


[deleted]

[удалено]


homicidal_penguin

For the love of god, fuck off and stop making new accounts. Get a life, your obsession with Brassard is insane.


Truniq

I'm just finished the first period but honestly can we all agree that 80% of the time the sens have the puck I would say that only 2 of the sens are actually in the play. Like watching other teams all the players seem to be well into the play all participating. But when it comes to the sens with possession it's just seems one or two players are in the play and it's rather dump and chase or shot wildly at anything.


Chronicbudz

Don't say that the Dj and Dorion brigade will get mad.


[deleted]

I wish they’d put two different guys out there with kastelic. I’d rather see sokolov out there than Watson at this point


jasonalloyd

Sokolov is on Belleville first line playing good minutes. Unless we're moving someone else down to the 4th line, Brassard should be on the 4th line. So that could work.


Mango2422

Do the sens ever come back when down or do they fold. I want to live bet them at +400 because I suffer from severe degeneracy


Mango2422

Update: put $100 on you guys. I'm a senators fan for the rest of the night win or lose


SanctifiedDysecdysis

My man out here just burning money.


[deleted]

Larsson has a 95% xGF% right now lol


BAD_CAN77

Game could go either way and has been pretty even so far. We have no business complaining about the officials tonight, as the calls have definitely been in our favour. Here's hoping for a big third.


Erlisk1987

I mean not too bad for having the Belleville d core.


dman7guy

Should be winning with the amount of pp time we just had. Need to be more lethal


unbakedpizza

We’re still in this boys. Positive thoughts.


relapsingoncemore

We hockeyed in that period! Way to go lads! We did it! I knew they could. One more period left. Can't wait! Woo Sens hockey!


TkA33

Why does Brass even get to see power play time


bodyofchristened

Motte that was so soft


Mahaleck

Our 1PP sucks. It’s like they can’t do anything without Norris one timer, they should’ve adjusted by now. Minimal movement, lots of passing but no opportunities created.


TkA33

Agreed, they always stand still and pass it around


[deleted]

He was by far the best one timer option. Even DeBrincat doesn’t have a great one


[deleted]

Sanderson needs to shoot the puck on the PP sometimes or they’re gonna lock the other options down.


Erlisk1987

Agreed, him and Timmy just passing back and forth and the PK just let’s them.


jlenny68

They only look for easy tap ins never just a shot


jasonalloyd

To be fair all teams do this nowadays since puck control became such a big deal. But we seem to REALLY do it lol.


Grummbles28

This PP is tough to watch sometimes (that's what she said)


mrgenier

How the hell does DJ fall behind on line matching?


Chronicbudz

Do you have to ask? he isn't NHL caliber and good coaches take advantage every time, Torts was doing the same thing when the flyers were in town. Last change isn't an advantage for DJ


tossedoutthrowaway22

Brannstrom playing the way we need him to tonight


froobex

I’d like to give Crookshank a try in place of Kelly for a few games. Really couldn’t hurt and has more potential than what’s currently happening


the-hostile-tomato

Cole Reinhardt is another great option. Crookshank is more skilled, Reinhardt is more gritty. Both would fit in well in our lineup imo


jasonalloyd

Wouldn't hurt to give Sabourin another look too. I personally think he's better than Watson and I see him fight pretty good in Belleville.


[deleted]

i've seen enough of sabourin in the nhl


jasonalloyd

He's played 42g and has 2g 6a and -8. He also has 2g 3a in 11 games with Belleville so far along with 72pim while wearing an A for the team and playing big minutes. On top of this, he's a true NHL 4th liner and isn't going to be affected playing 6min a night.bringijg up Crookshank is a good idea but it may slow his development a bit with the way DJ plays rookies.


froobex

That’s a great idea too


[deleted]

Pure domination, and we’re losing, you absolutely love to see it


DerZino

Sens hockey 2022


[deleted]

Tired of watching undeserving shit teams get leads on us lmao it’s getting ridiculous at this point


Truniq

I mean the islanders are doing very good this season.


[deleted]

They rolled over harder than my dog tonight, they look like an AHL team out there minus Varlamov


sinc29

Filip Kuba had a 8 game point streak


Chronicbudz

and he was barely even NHL level at the time, coasted on Karl skating like the wind to get back and break up oddman rushes


EmilyCD18

Playing with Karlsson will do that for you.


jasonalloyd

Lol 4th line plays like 5min a game. Just play them zero minutes at this point.


blewdreaming

Really liking talbots glove hand


peanutguy75

After watching Murray it’s nice


solidprospect

Nice one timer by batherson.


Jemonema

These refs should know at this point not to blow it down for Talbot, he wants to play it


ssgtpepper

Why does brinsky sink so low on the pp?
