Lots to criticize, but holy smokes Forsberg is earning his contract right now.

Will they break 60 shots by the end of it?

So many times they have what should be an easy zone exit but get all confused and do something completely inexplicable and end up in trouble and scrambling. Why are they doing this?

End of the period almost.

There are teams in this league that give up 50 shots over two games. Sens do that every 2 periods.

No Dzone break out ability 5 on 5. They need a defensive specialist to coach. Too bad Luke got rightfully hires to be a head coach...

Sanderson seems the best for clearing the zone. He seems very comfortable making the easy play. I like when he comes straight up the middle of the ice.

I've noticed that too. He's quite good at driving the play

OMG Zaitsev penalty killing AGAIN and complete misuse of the 4th line. Watson cannot skate with speed.
Who is coaching this team?!? Gump Woresly?

Still not a huge fan of those long delayed challenges, even though it benefited them there.

I do think the Sens need more size on defence. They have enough skill. They want more banging, especially in front of their own net.

What game are you watching? Sanderson has got them into trouble numerous times this game.

Seriously, what does this coach do after the first intermission to make every second period so terrible? Sens have rallied reasonably well in the third here, but this thing with consistently pooping the bed in the second is getting old.

Why the hell is Zaitsev out there on a 4 on 4?

And I bet on this team, when I faded them so much last year due to your coach. Your coach is up to his old tricks with his defense good heavens

Time to give Pinto a chance to play on the 2nd. He's clearly earned it.

this team has a better shot a Bedard than they do at being a wild card hopeful.

If the Sens get beat in Tampa they better for hang on to it for sure. Especially when you have this dope coaching your team. Ineptitude at its finest with how he rolls his d pairings and lines. Do you guys not have a better option that 16 on your 4th line on the farm?

The powerplay is not great because DeBrincat just stands over on the left side with his stick in the air effectively neutralizing the man advantage. The geniuses on the post game think Pinto should be moved up to the second line because he'd be better at setting up DeBrincat. So you want the guy who is scoring to stop shooting and instead start setting up the guy who isn't scoring. What morons! According to them DeBrincat is not scoring because he needs a better center than Brassard but they conveniently are forgetting about his zero production with Norris.

Second game in a row the Tkachuk line is all minus 3 except today Tkachuk is -2 because of his goal. Don't know what's going on there because they looked like they were starting to really click a couple of games ago. Is their offensive effectiveness being coached out of them? Just like the inexplicable, messed up zone exits which I have to think is the result of bad coaching, defensive zone strategy.

Sanderson and Hamonic not doing great at all. Brannstrom reverting back to his old self. More great coaching? Bench him if he tries anything that he's actually good at.

The geniuses at the TSN post game show starting to peddle paying for a top 4 RD. Amazing that they even see Heatherington as a better option than either JBD or Thomson.

Does anyone get the feeling the old fossil doesn't really like DeBrincat?
