Watching it now. Stone is a beast.

It was pretty flukey to go to OT. Sens completely dominated after the 1st

Like I said. I didn’t watch the game. But I’m not as enamoured with our position in the standings as everyone else. We haven’t won against great teams yet and you can say that at least we’ve been competitive but You can also say we can’t seem to take over games completely. Well maybe those two games out west.

Maybe I’m asking for too much but I’d like this team to maintain leads and win ona more consistent basis.
I think we’re gonna need another top 6 winger for that to become a reality.
We should definitely make some calls to Vegas.

I'm watching right now! I guess gamecentre has fixed their former policy of 48 hours before you can rewatch.

Some decent plays by Duchene, but he's not comfortable yet.

You didn’t have to watch, just check the stats

Stone is absolutely unreal right now. Duchene made some really nice plays towards the end.

Really happy to have won that. We wouldn't have deserved a loss.

Duchene was alright but not more than that. He'll get better with a few more games played.

I'm absolutely thrilled they are where they are in the standings given the line up they've had to put out there. With no MacArthur or White to replace him, with Karlsson missing 5 and still getting used to his new normal, with Ryan missing half of their games. Yeah, I'm thrilled.

Don't forget, also Smith has 1 goal in his last 43 and he's playing on our second line. That will change when Ryan is back. And Andy hasn't really been at his best yet. Actually, that one concerns me a little.

This is correct. Just a minor defensive breakdown by the forwards really that allowed the Avs to tie it in the 3rd.

Anyway, it was a good game for the Sens...not overly entertaining, but man, Mark Stone. Someone pointed out on Twitter that if players were going to the Olympics this year, he'd be a lock. So good. $7M/year plus, coming up. And that's fine!

Yeah, 7 x 8 is fine and dandy , even though I'm slightly nervous about his injuries etc.

Maybe the Sens can get it down to 6 over 8 years. He’s going to get his 30 goals this season and if he continues like this he might flirt with 40. The ball will definitely be in his court.

Anybody else thinks Dorion’s insistance of having Harpur and Paul with the team is that he’s trying to package them for a top 6 winger? Kind of a showcase?

Not much of a showcase, in that case. Was Paul even on after the Avs scored on the PP? Why was Paul even playing the PK?

I can’t even say I noticed him but I couldn’t find a good stream up until the middle of the 2nd.


Hoffman is so sick. Always winds up placing himself in a good spot to shoot the net. Can’t believe he doesn’t get covered better.

Duchene will get there. He showed he can use his size better than what Turris could. Nice to have that in the top 6. Will have to wait for the rest but he did come close many times. It will come.

Karlsson isn’t playing like he used to. He’s great, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not 100%

I don’t know what you mean by not 100% , he is very close as he was awesome today . His injury is 100% but he just needed the condition back and it’s pretty much there

I can just tell he’s having problems with mobility and pivoting. Hes fine in straight line but he’s having to rely more on upper body movements for his agility than lower. I just don’t see the same karlsson. I’m not saying he won’t come back to his old self just that he isn’t the exact karlsson from this time last year

That set up on Stone's goal was sick. Jumps in to intercept the puck, kicks it to his stick, tape to tape on Stone's stick.

Karlsson is 1 behind Klinberg.
