GDT - Game #7: Sens @ Flames Oct 28, 2016, 9:00pm

Slight underdog tonight. I'm feeling the win

I'd love a win, I hope you're right redacted.

Fearing your wrath the Kaptain has responded. 

Good first for the Sens. Dzingel got another point.

I've got one girl going to Saunders Farm and then a sleepover, and the other at a dance and then a sleepover, so I've been on the road all night. What happened to Hammond?

Looked like maybe a tweaked groin. Nothing too serious, but who knows. Driedger has looked pretty shaky, but this one is still there for the taking.

Very disappointing .  driedger is absolutely not ready

I don't see how you can say that. He went in ice cold

We dominated that game

Sure, but he couldn't stop a thing.  I like him as a prospect  but he's not ready for prime time.

I'm obviously enraged by this loss. If injuring McDavid is what it takes to win the next one. So be it...

Well, the Oilers keep rolling as they blanked the Canucks 2-0. But of course the Senators beat the same team 3-0 so this next game is a win.

Shake it off. Sometimes you lose the ones you deserve to win. Two games in a row keeping the opposition under 30, PP clicking - - those are positives. Driedger is better than that and will get the butterflies under control.

Agree, i was miffed last night but shake it off.

Optimism fading fast...

I think most expected that the changes would take time. The most optimistic (like me) expected to see changes as early as at the 10-game mark. Boucher himself said it would take six weeks (roughly 15-20 games). Well it's only 7 games in but our shots given up per game is 9th best in the league, at 28.3. When our #1 is in goal we are 4-1. Our special teams aren't doing very well but the PP has been generating chances and we knew it was only a matter of time before they'd start scoring -- like they did last night. We've had two bad outings by backup goalies and our top scorer hasn't scored yet and our best forward missed most of training camp and is still rounding into form. And yet we are still above .500 and in a playoff spot.

Hoffman is a ducking bust.

Hoffman has led the team in scoring his first two full seasons. You want him to be a Selke finalist as well?

Funny as if there is one player I'm not all that worried about it's Hoffman. Lots of bad luck not scoring but the shots are there.

He has been dreadful to start the year. He's paid to score goals and in my opinion he has packed it in after getting the big contract
