Wow, that's awesome!

Ouch, watson out potentially long term.  They'll know Wednesday.   One hell of a good 4th liner and pker, big blow.

Probably past time we moved on from Logan.

even since the beginning of the season it's sounded more like Dorion was doing a sell job on Logan.
I'm not even sure there's legitimate interest out there for him.

if anything, he might wind up a throw-in into some deal because a team takes a hell mary as part of a bigger deal.

he's likely not worth more than a mid-round pick at this point.

Agreed. You can probably throw him in a trade with someone like Brannstrom to get an upgrade, but Ottawa could easily lose the trade if Brown turns things around

He's playing with Dzingel and Bishop. That's a super dangerous and fast 4th line.

Hopefully they get a bunch of ice time. I hate it when we bring a kid up and they get like 8 minutes.

Just a reminder that the game today is at 5:00pm, kinda weird.

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no idea. Remember when hockey first came back during the pandemic and there were games everyday starting at noon? Those were the days.

I really enjoyed "working" from home during that time.

Me too. Im surprised that the Canadian division didn't standardize game starts to be between 7 and 8 PM eastern when Eastern teams are involved. With no fans in the stands why the hell do west-coast home games against east-coast teams need to start at 10 or 10:30 pm local? Sure, if it's Edmonton v Calgary then start your games at a regular local time, but why should a Sens fan need to stay up to 10:30 EST to start watching a game on the road against Vancouver? It makes zero sense to me. If you're trying to generate revenue by increasing viewership, make it easy for fans to watch the games. I am sure a 4:30 PM PST start for a Toronto v Vancouver game (7:30 EST) gets a lot more viewers than a game that starts at 10:30 EST.

Hopefully we get some afternoon games in the playoffs...is there a play-in round this year again?

So fast that they managed to move the game time to 5PM.

What kind of confidence issues does Dadonov have to look to pass while on a breakaway?

God damn Gustavsson!

We are pretty lucky it seems with back ups of back ups. Starting to show why he was considered a good prospect. (Ok ok, it’s a small sample size)

Gustavsson has been fantastic. Small sample but certainly our best goalie so far

Gus thankful for the 5pm start because it was easier for his parents to watch (10pm their time).

What a guy.

Besides the obvious players, I thought the entire 4th linrle, particularly Formenton alwas excellent.

I am glad that Dadonov contract is short.

Good game though, nice to see a goalie play really well.

Dadonov I'm not worried about.
he is the type of player that plays better with better players. as our C's get better, so will he.
