Saw one of the Sens flying through the NZ abot 100mph when I first turned it on, who the hell was that? Ryan Dzingel, kid can skate. Think he's playing on a line right now with Mark Stone and Derrick Brassard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Same old Devils...every time that they look like they just might have a chance to make things a little interesting, they have a game like this. Just not much of a surprise anymore when this happens. Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 RECAP Ottawa played a great road game, and I give them all the credit in the world. Boucher actually knows the proper way to protect a 3rd period lead unlike Hynes. But it almost looked like the Devils weren't ever trying to score. Ottawa played a great defensive road game, but did the Devils even try to make it hard on them? They also need to take more shots. Stop trying to make plays out of nothing. The Sens scored 2 goals off shots a mile away from the net. Shot attempts win games, not scoring chances. I also must emphasize that shooting for the sake of shooting is also very bad. EVEN STRENGTH POSSESSION CF: 38 to 55, 40.86% FF: 30 to 39, 43.48% SF: 20 to 30, 40% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLLYWOOD Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well Blow Bennett had more TOI than Cammailieri tonight, what's that tell yah? Cleaning up these LOU "My Way or The Highway" expensive long term anchors gonna take longer than even I thought. Hope Shero moves hard after this monkey wrench expansion draft.

Triumph Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yeah, this was terrible. A few glimmers of decency here and there but mostly slop. They seemed to have a plan to beat the Senators' trap that didn't work - either they weren't executing or it was a bad plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek21 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ottawa is extremely boring. They play the 1-3-1 and make teams come through the neutral zone. Boucher is a good coach. Hard to believe it took him time to get another NHL job. The Sens have skill players who could be putting up higher point totals. But they're committed to his system. It's dull. But works. I would have asked for a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single 'point' you make you contradict, or qualify, or retract.... its bizarre. And when the Devils lose 3-0, it's just infuriating to read Not true. You just don't understand what's actually being said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 BTW, you'd think Hynes would understand that Schneider is one of the worst goalies at stopping long distance shots. He's given up the 2nd most low danger goals in the league this year, and this isn't anything just recent either. Since 2013-2014, here is his breakdowns among goalies who have played at least 100 games. LOW DANGER SHOTS SV%: .972, 7th worst MID DANGER SHOTS SV%: .930, 4th best HIGH DANGER SHOTS SV%: .837, 2nd best What does all of this mean? Well it means you'd think Hynes would know to put more pressure on the point men of the opposition. Do everything you can to prevent the point guys from attempting shots. It's why shot quality is completely useless overall, and there really is no such thing as a "low danger shot". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing Gionta and Tootoo every night alone makes it better for myself. I agree with you, other than the fact that November & December were some of the worst hockey we've been subjected to, and the fact that I have seen them lose 13 of the past 17 games I've gone to... (of course I missed the Buffalo and Colorado games) I am still enjoying this season more than previous ones. I still believe in the overall direction, it's not going to happen overnight so... Just wish they could get a win for the home crowd once in a while. Maybe they can go back to being awful on the road and win some games at the Rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the only way I was able to sum it up too. It looked like they wanted to score, just maybe not enough. Not hungry enough, and of course, not skilled enough. Sad part about this is that Cory played really well. I guess we just need to focus on trying to take two from the Islanders this weekend, since they won last night and are pulling away. Revenge next week against Ottawa would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I had to adult around the house during the 2nd and was not even remotely shocked that it was 0-0 throughout the 2nd. I'm sure I missed a bunch of Mac and Dano gems about moral victories or how they would motivate the team while the carpet shampooer was blasting...

I didnt sleep but I moved around the house doing stuff and only popped my head back in a few times... hate to beat a dead horse but this win one lose one win one lose two, thing that we've been doing for the last 5 years is getting us nowhere... need to just lose a few years... and grab a few top 3 picks.. dont want to hear about the oilers, we're not Edmonton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand that mentality, or at least definitely never agree with it. Take a look around: WE ALREADY ARE LOSING. Ok, maybe it could get worse, but we're really not that far from the dregs of the league, i.e. Colorado, Arizona, and what used to be Edmonton. We have a few scattered wins here and there, but it really isn't that many. At this point I actually really hope the Devils just stop trying, rest some players, and fall into the bottom three for the next 2-3 years. Maybe then and only then you guys who are preaching for this will look back after those picks don't pan out and other very circumstantial things take place and say to yourself and everyone else, 'Damn, these last few years have sucked, worse than what it was before, and we're not in any better shape now'.
