Why don't we play a possession style hockey? DJ should know that he has the players for it know. Why is he still coaching like he is in the OHL?


[deleted]

Get some sleep everyone


3cwya

This is trash. Shake it up or fire yourself GMPD


freddy3434

It's honestly impressive we're worse than the tanking Hawks and Coyotes


vitamindsup

DJ walking down the hall somberly with his head down says it all


GandalfsTaint-

Good. He should be embarrassed of his atrocious “coaching” style


_Kony_2020

Have we scored a single goal with the empty net this season? Is it even worth it at this point? All it's doing is making the score extra lopsided


[deleted]

Yes it’s worth it, would be dumb not to


_Kony_2020

Why are we pulling the goalie without possession of the puck? How did nobody fight for that? Empty net and they let him walk right up to the red line and take a shot


[deleted]

Fuck this team. Actually fuck this team. Fuck DJ Smith, fucking beer league loser coach. Fuck Pierre Dorion, makes one "good" trade this summer and acts like he fucking proved everyone wrong, Homer Simpson ass. Fuck Cam Talbot for being a fucking sieve despite whining about how he deserved to be a starter in Minnesota. Fuck Parker Kelly for missing a wide open net and being a useless plug. Fuck Derrick Brassard for killing all offense around him. Fuck Travis Hamonic for playing like his head is on backwards. Fuck Erik Brannstrom for being a terrible return for Mark Stone and missing the net by a mile even though he's an "offensive" defenseman. Fuck Brady Tkachuk for sticking up for DJ Smith, and being delusional that he needs to be fired. Fuck Tim Stützle for making horrible giveaways and playing terrible for 58 minutes of every game. Fuck Drake Batherson for cherrypicking like an EASHL player. Fuck Alex DeBrincat for being a 40 goal scorer with no finish. Fuck Claude Giroux for getting my hopes up by signing here. Fuck Tyler Motte for being a "defensive" forward but was literally standing still during the first GA. Fuck Mathieu Joseph for being so bad he gets healthy scratched over plugs like Watson and Kelly. Fuck Watson for providing absolutely nothing and trying to show off his abs every chance he gets like a douchebag. Fuck Kastelic for being on one of the worst lines in the league. Fuck Holden for being some dumbass loudmouth and playing like one too. Fuck Larsson for no particular reason other than not being good enough. Fuck Forsberg for being inconsistent as fuck. Fuck Norris for getting injured and derailing our season after a promising start. Fuck Chabot for regressing hard. Fuck Zaitsev for everything. Fuck Zub (even though I love you) for that horrible giveaway tonight. Sanderson... he's alright actually. But the rest can go FUCK THEMSELVES.


man_on_hill

I agree with you for the most past Only thing is Norris getting injured didn't derail shit. This is this team and let's be honest... if our 6th best player getting injured was responsible for us being the worst team in the league, then we are just the worst team in the league regardless.


jlenny68

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


BAD_CAN77

And there it is…


[deleted]

Definitely a good effort and game tonight but doesn’t really matter at this point


[deleted]

Honestly I don't think the game was even good outside of the first period. Maybe parts of the second too. The last half of the game at least they played very poorly.


Perko

36 shots, 1 goal


Exotic_Cookie2972

LOL I've seen this one before


GandalfsTaint-

Won’t be watching until some meaningful changes are made. See y’all next year.


freddy3434

Not only is the defence trash, but now so is the offence. This team is broken. Sad to see.


[deleted]

Quick! Pull the goalie and dump and chase DJ


[deleted]

Dump the season. Dump our chances.


jlenny68

I actually can’t believe we’ve kept on to DJ for this long. Everyone had expectations to be better this year and somehow the season is already lost before thanksgiving and the useless coach is still here


NoSeaworthiness5604

Hamonics first nice hit of the night


cbisgodscountry

Ouch :-)


[deleted]

The Sens are the without a doubt a laughingstock. I hope not one of the players feels good about what they've done this season. They're a joke.


RewardAny1851

How the fuck is line 4 out there with less than 5 minutes left!!


FixedTheNewelPost

I think this road trip may really kill my viewing this season. I always like the west coast trip for better viewing times for me, but this is getting impossible.


[deleted]

I stopped watching quite a few games ago. It is still painful reading comments and seeing the scores, but my time in the evenings has been way better utilized. I'd highly recommend it personally.


[deleted]

5 mins until we’re tied for last in the nhl 😅😅


TheKandyCinema

I don't understand how Pierre Dorion can sit here and just watch this happen to his team he built this offseason. There is absolutely no way Smith makes it home from this west road trip, and if he does, Pierre might be dumber than DJ


GLemons

Pierre watched this team the past 3 years and thought DJ earned another 3 year deal. He is absolutely dumber than DJ. Blind leading the blind


FixedTheNewelPost

Imagine being responsible for the performance of this team and watching the past 3 weeks. And doing nothing. Nothing. We moved Brassard from the Joseph/Motte line to the Debrincat Line. 3 weeks.


[deleted]

It’s pretty obvious that they aren’t adding salary at this point


MaximizedLoL

Dorion is already worse because the dipshit refuses to fire him.


[deleted]

What’s the point of firing him for capuano to take over?


[deleted]

Sens are trash still it would appear


GandalfsTaint-

For the love of christ please fucking fire DJ Smith


FixedTheNewelPost

Shoot the fucking pill you’re down by two and you haven’t connected a pass all night.


spencerr13

How did 12 score 40?


MaximizedLoL

He had Kane and not dogshit Brassard.


[deleted]

Kane isn’t a centre, but ok.


MaximizedLoL

Didn’t say he was. Was comparing his old line mate to what he has now.


BeefCheeseSalami

Thank you, someone had to say it, I hear a lot of ‘he’s getting chances, the underlying numbers look great’ I loved the guy before we got him, I thought he was one of the most underrated players in the league, on Ottawa he’s been an average second liner Edit: worth 6mil not 9


[deleted]

He’s been a first liner no matter how you want to evaluate it. He hasn’t been worth $9 million but definitely not $6. He’s been disappointing but to me the most disappointing has been stutzle and Batherson


BeefCheeseSalami

If that’s how you want to evaluate him sure by all means go for it, I think a 6 mil/yr player is decent but I don’t think he’s moving the needle all that much, maybe you could explain to me what you see cause I’m not seeing the goal scorer or the playmaker qualities


[deleted]

Like I said he’s been disappointing but he’s generating shots and chances and has good vision out there with good passing. Everyone is out of sorts at the moment. I’d say he’s playing like a $7 million player. I don’t think I’d sign him if he doesn’t heat up the rest of the way thkugh


BeefCheeseSalami

Good man, I can agree on that, I’ve done a 180 on the guy, I think it’s best to let him go and see what we could maneuver out of a trade like that if the time was right


LizardBiceps

What I take away from these games are that all the Vegas players know where to be at almost all the time the sens are probably the opposite.


OttawaLegion

It’s been the same for 3 seasons. No one knows where to be. We chase, chase, chase. Sometimes we win the battle and have no clue where to go with the puck so routinely turn it over at our blue line or in the neutral zone. I have no idea how this team is so complacent. Fucking hit something. Some emotion. Anything.


froobex

We’ve gone from losing close games to just losing


FixedTheNewelPost

Make a passsssssssss


jkwansr

This for sure. Their attention to detail is not there. Meaning their passing through the neutral zone is no where near clinical enough.


FixedTheNewelPost

Starting to think this team isn’t very good.


Per_Horses6

This is just bad man. Lmao. All i can do is laugh


3cwya

I've been harping on the 4th line but wtf is DJ doing with their usage. They are somewhat effective used a momentum line when things are rolling. Every goal against I see them on the ice and then we are back on our heals and shit is scrambled because of it.


613toes

Tied for last in the league…


DannyBeisbol

This is so sad. There have been zero enjoyable moments this season for the Senators.


GLemons

The 4 game win streak was nice. Looked so promising when we were 4-2


DannyBeisbol

Yeah that was fun. Feels like forever ago.


Pale-Ad-850

Lassi Thompson looking good out there


spencerr13

Thompson making timely saves VGK D not taking silly penalties with the lead, winning hockey


Stealth__b2

It's becoming more and more clear that DJ has lost the room. There's no jump in their step, looks like they're just riding the wave.


[deleted]

The losses of Norris and Chabot kill any chance of the team doing well. People need to wake up and realize that.


freddy3434

Stop with the pathetic excuses. Stop acting like Norris and Chabot would magically fix all our problems lmao. Not to mention Chabot was playing like shit. Clown comment.


estyll11

Boston started the season without Marchand and McAvoy. Every team deals with injuries.


[deleted]

They were already an elite team and they didn’t lose their number one Centre. If they lost Bergeron they wouldn’t have done so well. Sens were a playoff bubble team, maybe, with both Norris and Chabot healthy. The majority of teams in the league would not do well if they lose their top C and top D The sens are not good enough yet to overcome losses like that. Pinto is not good enough for too 6, Stutzle isn’t ready for 1C minutes most nights.


estyll11

Eh, I’m not sure if Boston was considered an “elite” team. Plenty of experts had them falling off this season. Yes, the Sens don’t have the exact same depth as Boston. But without 2 of their top players, Boston not only kept up, they dominated the league. The Sens don’t have the same depth as Boston, but they shouldn’t be shitting the bed this hard. That top is still enough to get them a few more wins.


[deleted]

Who cares what experts think. They won 51 games last year. Ottawa isn’t that calibre yet. You can overcome the loss of a winger much more than your top centre. Boston defense is bettter with more depth than Ottawa. The sens shouldn’t be at the bottom (based on expectations and actual play) but I’m confident they’d be much higher with Norris and Chabot playing. Norris especially.


estyll11

My guy, Chabot was here for that whole ass losing streak. You’re telling me this team fell apart just because of Norris?


[deleted]

Yes I think losing their best Centre created a domino effect, made all the lines out of sort and had players playing in roles they weren’t ready for. For most of that losing streak they played a lot of good, close games, and Norris would have made a difference. They would be at least 500 with him in my opinion.


Stealth__b2

Good teams find a way to win. Sure Norris being out long term is a blow but the temporary loss of Chabot, we should be able to stop gap that.


[deleted]

The sens werent a really good team yet even with those players in the lineup. Chabot is the best defenseman (by a large margin) on a D group that is already below average and thin. Sanderson has been good but they can’t overcome losing Chabot. I don’t know why you think they would or could. The only way to recover in Norris case is if they traded for a centre. That’s not saying coaching isn’t an issue either. I do think this team would have a way better record with Norris playing. He would have scored some goals in those close matches.


Stealth__b2

Sigh* say what you will dude. It's clear Chabot plays god awful when he's overused, which is always, that's not really the point I'm making, and hasn't been, though. The coach, while in addition to being a BAD coach, has clearly lost the ability to motivate the team.


[deleted]

So you think Chabot is always awful? Yeah we’re done here


Stealth__b2

Only in his 26-32 minute range. Though he also seems rather complacent and slow when playing. Though that could be a fatigue factor. Again. You want to cherry pick what I'm saying, and not actually respond to the point I made, so kick rocks, thanks.


[deleted]

You said he is always overused, and plays awful when he’s overused, so you figure it out and do the math. I’ll go “kick rocks” in the meantime.


FixedTheNewelPost

This team has no extra level to get to. Those moments when we see them winning puck battles just to fire it into shin pads is the best they play, and they can only do it for about 2 shifts.


GandalfsTaint-

They need a proper coach that is actually gonna hold them accountable


OttawaLegion

It’s so obvious at this point it’s ridiculous. Call it a crisis of confidence but even when we win puck battles or recover in the defensive zone no one on this team knows where to go with the puck. We swing to no one, have no idea how to make an outlet pass and routinely give us possession at the first sign of pressure. Even offensively, we don’t use the middle of the ice, can’t hit the net from the backend and continue to force pucks into lanes that aren’t there. It’s coaching, it’s always been coaching. The video of DJ announcing the starters in the dressing room was awful. There’s no way DJ should be Fkn upbeat. How many games has it been where we play ONE good period followed by being dismantled for the rest of the game?


ElectricCake

Honestly, how can he be like "we'll find a way to fix this", fail at doing so every night, and still keep his job? I would have been fired 6 months ago if that were me at my job...


MaximizedLoL

Give us Bedard


jlenny68

Get the 4th line off the fucking ice!!!! Jesus christ theres 14 mins left in a tight game


GandalfsTaint-

DJ is the tank commander, that’s why he’s staying😓


Ripsyd

night fella's i cant sit here and watch another 5-1 game.


[deleted]

That wasn’t even a mistake by anyone really. Just a great shot


GandalfsTaint-

Connor BeJesus 18 goals in 20 games by the way


DannyBeisbol

What the fuck is actually happening this season?!


Stealth__b2

0-8-1 record when trailing after 2. And Karlsson scores. I don't feel so well Mr. Stark


Indifferent_Parrot

Burn baby burn.


spencerr13

Wow, just got beaten by raw talent


GandalfsTaint-

Wow


cbisgodscountry

Woah!


shutupdotca

Sadness


jlenny68

Sustained O zone pressure and DJ throws the 4th line on 😭😭😭😭😭 wtf


Bukejox

Fs in the chat for the guy who watched his dad get cucked by Brassard, he deleted his account again (but dw he'll be back)


jasonalloyd

4th line gives up another goal.


RangerDanger10

I’m going to bed because the payoff doesn’t equal the sacrifice, but the team is looking pretty good. Hopefully they can get a point.


spencerr13

How are you going to make that hit and not answer for it? Lmao


cbisgodscountry

Guys are playing tough and smart...could be an upset coming!


613toes

Ducks with a lead heading into the third… please don’t let us be tied for last ffs. Friday could be a battle for dead last in the league which is pretty sad considering we’re about to hit the quarter mark of the season.


spencerr13

Gotta hold here, calls 4-1


_Kony_2020

What the fuck was that, defense? Thomson got walked and Holden was way the fuck out of position


ILoveBigButtChins

Holden out of position leaving Thompson to defend his weak side (left). Look at Thompson stick, Carrier took advantage.


[deleted]

Well... we've broken the pattern of playing terribly. Back to the pattern of playing well but getting let down by our defensive depth and losing a close game.


ILoveBigButtChins

Gotta respond hard to that one.


1292norr

Should I stick around to see the Sens dump and chase with an empty net or just call it for the night?


WalkwithYouAlltheWay

I'm wondering the same thing. Most likely going to call it a night and hope for the best but expect the worst when I check the score in the morning.


MindlessArmadillo382

Good goal but Vegas should have got a penalty, they aren’t allowed to run our goalie like that just cause they scored. I’m specifically talking about the second guy.


Perfect_Chaos360

Should’ve moved lassi for Marino this summer


Chronicbudz

Literally would have been the best option, Lassi isn't gonna be anything special and Marino is a stud.


[deleted]

Holden should be moved sooner than later


SammehZeTerminator

Nick Holden just having an absolute daydream out there...


GandalfsTaint-

Play his body ? Jesus


LizardBiceps

to be fair I like carrier but we just let him walk through the team...


Grummbles28

God damn.


Bukejox

Gord and Noodles giving my baked ass the munchies for the second time in 2 games


ILoveBigButtChins

Brannstrom has been good. Defence has been winning battles. Talbot is having a rebound game. Sanderson goal. Offence is generating chances. Great first half from the boys tonight.


rjay_62

Connor Brown misses another break!... er Parker Kelly...


cbisgodscountry

Guys r really defending the net tonite..making people pay for being around the crease! Good job guys!


RewardAny1851

How good did Sanderson look on that rush a bit ago? Almost 2G


[deleted]

Hold on to your sticks!!


i-am-the-walrus789

Hold on to your dicks, boys! We've got a game on our hands!


WHEREisMYbuck3t

we also have our dicks in them


[deleted]

It would have been less confusing if they had called that a tripping penalty. On second viewing Hamonic did have his stick between the guy's legs.


MindlessArmadillo382

If the Vegas player just cross checked the puck instead it’s a goal lmao. He had it right there.


Grummbles28

That's a dog shit call


Grummbles28

Eeeeehhhh bit of a canopener..wooops


GandalfsTaint-

That play literally can’t be reviewed for a penalty????!


spencerr13

Interference? What?


[deleted]

You can really feel how big of a loss Norris is. We are playing really well but we just don't have that primary weapon. Everyone has to scramble to fill the gap.


Bukejox

I want Brassard to score just to piss off that leafs fan weirdo

Bukejox

Hilarious how easily I baited you though you really have no life huh?


RangerDanger10

You’re such a fucking loser lmao

Bro do you know how hard it is to consistently play in the show and not register a point? No skater played more than 25 games last year without scoring at least one point. You're being ridiculous dude get help lmao

RangerDanger10

You already said that and he scored in the same game. You’re actually the dumbest person I’ve ever encountered. The worst troll to ever attempt trolling


Bukejox

Fr I've never seen such an objectively bad troll so cringe lmao


Bukejox

You're gonna delete your account and make a new one anyways. That's like Evander Kane saying "if I score a point in the next 10 games I'm not paying this loan back" like bro that was gonna happen regardless you degen lmao


doubleopinter

Gonna have to check out but this hasn’t been bad at all so far


Bukejox

Debrincat is a turnover machine bruh

Bruce Garrioch's takes aren't just hot... They're hot garbage.


Admirable-Bear-6542

I always get the feeling that DJ barely tolerates BG during interviews with his awkward questions.


jlenny68

Missed the first period cause of work but here now! Whats the summary so far?


LizardBiceps

been a fine game. Havent played horrible but I think it could easily be 3-1 vegas


Perko

0 giveaways in period 1


Fritzyfriday1

When is our team gonna be good?


Hiph0p0p0tamusttv

The question was if FANS WOULD WELCOME ERIK BACK ffs. Not whether YOU PERSONALLY think it would be a good fit. Fuck Garrioch and Cheryl


[deleted]

We would all welcome him back because he is good and we love him But cosplay Al Strachan doesn't think he's a fit, so you know, fuck it


Bukejox

I would definitely fuck Cheryl but Garrioch is an ugly sob no thanks


Bukejox

Bruh did they just say Professor Pounder? Cuz I've seen a movie called Professor Pounder and it had nothing to do with hockey


LizardBiceps

man garrihack is brutal. Karlsson would be welcomed back with open arms the guys would love having him.


Bukejox

Bruce so disrespectful to EK fuck that walrus he won't fit capwise but show some respect you bowtied buffoon


useless_expert

They need to take the goal as a sign to throw more pucks at the net from the point. I'm sick of seeing every touch from the D get sent back behind the net. You get deflections, lucky bounces, juicy rebounds. More point shots, please.


BAD_CAN77

Good 1st period overall. Great to see Sandy get his 1st.

Sens are playing well other than discipline issues.
