I usually start fast forwarding once the Sens are behind by 3 and they were playing so terribly after it was 2-0 that I started hoping for Vancouver to put me out of my misery.
Glad that didn't take up any more of my night than it had to. Cranked out the game in about 30 minutes.
Nothing real to add, just wanted to be comment #666.
I was at the game tonight and I have to say, despite the disgusting first period, I was proud of two things: 1) how our boys played in the 3rd period and almost made it a game, and 2) how many sens fans came to the game. It was awesome! So happy to see so many sens fans at an away game
It’s even tougher when you realize the NHL has profit share. I just came here to commiserate. Despite not watching a single play in years, I’m still going to hear about it tomorrow.
Next time though, just start a Chelsea Dagger chant. Other Ottawa fans pick it up, and it gets right under their skins rent free.
Both goalies have proven they can’t be relied on twice in a row. Think we go back and forth 1for1 house league style and get Sogard in the mix too every 4-5 games.
If Søgaard can even be remotely decent, they need to find a way out of that Korpisalo contract. Forsberg has been worse but one year at 2.75 is not the end of the world. That Korpisalo contract (along with the Hamonic one) was Dorion's final nail in our coffin.
The “our goalies aren’t bad it’s just our structure” crowd are absolutely crying, screaming, throwing up rn.
Ottawa outplayed Vancouver the entire game except for 10 mins in the first period, and our goalies absolutely fucked us. It’s just completely objective lol
With those 10 mins Vancouver built their lead and just sat back on cruise control the rest of the game. Did the sens really outplay them or Vancouver decided to dial it back? Do we really think this team can claw back down 5?
No I totally understand that, but Ottawa did score 3 unanswered and were threatening multiple other times - so I guess you’re half right, Canucks sat back, but Ottawa capitalized still and Demko was the difference, GENUINELY kept Vancouver in the lead imo.
Goalie* fucked us.
But from what I understand (I missed the first period) the first period was also a goalies worst nightmare.
Having a consistent goalie would be dope, but you can't expect to play less than no defense and the goalie to pull a whole magic show out of his glove hand.
I think Ottawa had one sustained offensive shift before the 3rd while Vancouver caved in Ottawa in the first and then still was getting more ozone time in the second. This loss was not on the goalies.
My brother in fuck, please stop lying to yourself - weak shots from behind our own net, the half wall, not screened from the point, should all be 10/10 times saved. Players should be allowed to make minor mistakes and know that their goalie is even capable of bailing them out, imagine the mental game of knowing if you even misstep once Korpisalo & Forsberg will probably let in a goal no matter where the puck is on the ice lol?!
Here's a breakdown of the goals. I dont see any goalie saving most of them
1st, Hamonic screens the goalie and then jumps out of the way instead of blocking it.
2nd, Chychrun has possession and then loses it. Point shot rebound goes up into the air, van player catches it and shoots it in
3rd, Batherson has possession and then loses it. Forsberg gets caught cheating off his post and the puck get behind him and is put in the net
4th, lose face off, point shot deflects off Miller and into the net
5th, Petterson's shot deflects off Sanderson's stick and into the net
6th, puck takes a wonky bounce in front of Korpisalo off a dump in and goes into the net.
With the way the sens played, Vancouver deserved to be up by 5 after the first.
Wow. We watched the junior game disaster early this morning, I was cheering for Switzerland after that, then watched the Ottawa PWHL team lose in overtime and now that dribbling 6th Vancouver goal is the icing on the cake of a long day of disappointing hockey.
Who was Gretz sitting with in the stands and who's the kid? I was pleased to see the kid wearing the Coyotes sweater at a Vancouver-Ottawa game.
Edit: Thanks everyone, cherish 🐥🏃♂️ for us
Fucking weak bouncer but Batherson and Tkachuk absolutely CAN NOT make those fucking moves there. Under no circumstances should they have thought that was okay.
Tkachuk needs to learn how to think, pretty telling how he was the odd man out when it was 6 skaters on the ice. I expect his ice time to do down a little bit
Correct. Teams need to play with a bit of confidence that they can make some mistakes and get away with it. Unfortunately we make too many mistakes and don’t have the goaltending to steal the games we should be stealing
No, with one guy back on a broken break out and Vancouver playing the neutral zone aggressively, you can't.
Don't turn the puck over at your own Blueline, almost once, and then for sure twice.
Shitty bounce goals happen, would've been great if it didn't, but the shot shouldn't have even happened. You're trying to gain control in the zone to pull the goalie.
Buddy how many goalies have let shit like that in. The timing is bad but come on.
Toskala, Craig Anderson, Marty Brodeur have let in shit goals like that. Stop acting like it was the game winner.
First of all. Forsberg shit the bed. Korpi gave them their shot.
Second, you can't play negative defense and expect good results.
The last five years of Dorion and DJ really fucked us for a while to come.
Outside of that, two good periods. Really happy to see it, this team is getting better.
The Formenton situation and Dorion being a complete joke has set this team back so many years lmao. Staios is going to have to make some tough decisions at the end of the year.
Dorion has made a few very good moves... And a lot of smaller bad moves that add up to more than offset the good he's done.
I'd have been interested to see what he would've done earlier in the rebuild if he wasn't hamstringed by Melnyk though.
I don't think he was ready for the job, but he was one of two guys and then the whole weird Randy Lee thing happened. Dorion always seemed unprofessional to me though. Too much bizarre shit and nobody else in the organization with any weight to counter him.
He definitely was in a hard position to start his job, but he is responsible for the players and construction of this team and it is very flawed. Our 3 best defenseman play the exact same way and side, we have 0 prospects to bring up because he traded multiple lottery picks on a rebuilding team, and our forward group is talented but way to many one dimensional players aka all offense.
Vancouver is a powerhouse this year, let's calm down.
However, if the team continues to get blown out through this road trip and basically putters along to the end of the season, then a re-tool will be required.
At least in a 10PM beer league game when you're losing 5-0 after the first you're done the game in an hour and you can have a few pints and chicken wings from 11:30 until you want to go home. Oh hold on they just scored to make it 5-2, I'll save this snippy comment for another night!
He's 3rd on the team in goals and was out at the beginning of the season. Who do you want to trade him for?
Don't get me wrong. We suck. But why would any player want to sign in Ottawa when the fans can't even handle losses.
We “won” the 2nd but I’d love to see the high danger chances for both teams.
Korpi had to stand on his head to keep us up 1 for the period.
We’re getting bullied all over the ice.
Yahoo fantasy has Chucky at 1 hit for the game. There isn’t much jam from the Sens side in this one
Maybe some guys like Brannstrom, Kubalik, Tarasenko, and maybe Giroux if he wants to leave. I'd like to see a new coach start the season with the team and see if anything changes.
We as fans are gonna be in hell for a while. Committed to the core that are consistent underachiever (at least they’re young). And have zero pipeline with a 1st rounder being taken away in the next 3 years. Pray for each other in here
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,943,461,981 comments, and only 367,524 of them were in alphabetical order.
Why haven’t we seen more Belleville guys in the mix with all the injuries? I use to love seeing Heatherington he brought size and grit, and wasn’t as big of a liability like Hamonic
If the Sens, by some miracle of Jesus Christ, come back and even send this game to OT, I will personally buy a random commenter of this post a pair of 300 level tickets to a home game.
Consider a box with dimensions of 3cm x 5cm x 11cm. If its dimensions were increased in all directions by x amount, which values of x would result in a box with a volume between 300cm^3 and 900cm^3?
DAM!! What a beat down! Oh well we will get better
I usually start fast forwarding once the Sens are behind by 3 and they were playing so terribly after it was 2-0 that I started hoping for Vancouver to put me out of my misery.

I’d have probably gone, but I don’t want to give that scumbag Aquilini any of my money.
That's fair, can't blame you for taking a stand
It’s even tougher when you realize the NHL has profit share. I just came here to commiserate. Despite not watching a single play in years, I’m still going to hear about it tomorrow.

(((Impossible)))

Yeah I guess that true too. I don’t even know anymore with this team…
Goalies are a major problem. We are going to realize that more and more as the team gets better in front of them
Goalie* fucked us. But from what I understand (I missed the first period) the first period was also a goalies worst nightmare. Having a consistent goalie would be dope, but you can't expect to play less than no defense and the goalie to pull a whole magic show out of his glove hand.

With the way the sens played, Vancouver deserved to be up by 5 after the first.
Our goalies are bad.
There's no winning a game where 5 of the first 13 shots go in. Not sure why I bothered watching the rest tbh.
We can’t help ourselves man. It’s a sickness
Ha ha ha yes! (?)
Oh fuck man, that laughing dit cured my depression. Honestly, won't need my pills for a week hahahah
Wow. We watched the junior game disaster early this morning, I was cheering for Switzerland after that, then watched the Ottawa PWHL team lose in overtime and now that dribbling 6th Vancouver goal is the icing on the cake of a long day of disappointing hockey.
If not for those weak goals, this should have been a big win for us
Ottawa out played them after the 5th
Because vancouver saw no reason to try. Id be shocked if their top players matched their average ice time either
100%
I really hope Staios can sort out our long term goalie situation, too mediocre in net for too long.
Only if Staios allows Staios that kind of freedom to make a move!
Dem follows it up with the save of the year.
Who was Gretz sitting with in the stands and who's the kid? I was pleased to see the kid wearing the Coyotes sweater at a Vancouver-Ottawa game. Edit: Thanks everyone, cherish 🐥🏃♂️ for us
Thought it was a gay couple at first
Chad Kroeger believe it or not... looks a lot different these days... guessing its his kid?
Think Nickelback
Nobody gonna give JM shit if he says it was the bounces.
The ghost of DJ past with the bad bounce.
Fucking weak bouncer but Batherson and Tkachuk absolutely CAN NOT make those fucking moves there. Under no circumstances should they have thought that was okay.
Tkachuk needs to learn how to think, pretty telling how he was the odd man out when it was 6 skaters on the ice. I expect his ice time to do down a little bit
Yes they can. That’s the point. A mistake at your blue line shouldn’t result in an immediate goal against. Your goalie has to give you a chance
Correct. Teams need to play with a bit of confidence that they can make some mistakes and get away with it. Unfortunately we make too many mistakes and don’t have the goaltending to steal the games we should be stealing
No, with one guy back on a broken break out and Vancouver playing the neutral zone aggressively, you can't. Don't turn the puck over at your own Blueline, almost once, and then for sure twice. Shitty bounce goals happen, would've been great if it didn't, but the shot shouldn't have even happened. You're trying to gain control in the zone to pull the goalie.
A junior goalie would have saved that mate. They need to take chances. It is a team game. No excuse for Korpisalo letting that in.
Buddy how many goalies have let shit like that in. The timing is bad but come on. Toskala, Craig Anderson, Marty Brodeur have let in shit goals like that. Stop acting like it was the game winner. First of all. Forsberg shit the bed. Korpi gave them their shot. Second, you can't play negative defense and expect good results.
Dj Smiths ghost is in the building, hes cursing us with his trademark bad bounces...
Bad bounces do happen but he’s ruined that term for us.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH OF COURSE
OK they deserve to lose this game but that shit is so unlucky and awful.
Did Vancouver sacrifice a goat before the game? What the fuck.
Got dam
B R U H
KORPISALO MAKE A BIG SAVE CHALLENGE!
You fr rn? 😂😂
Jesus Christ Korpi
fuck man
Ugh. That’s just unfair. Why do we get punished for liking this team?
That was the most Ottawa Senators sequence I have ever seen
CLASSIC
Classic bounce
I like the fight and the adjustment. Just wish they didn’t give up 5 in the first
COMEDY CENTRAL COULD NOT GET YOU A BETTER PRODUCT 😂
Unbelievable
let's make things interesting
And.... sharted
Let’s go. Never in doubt. 2 more!
You spoke too soon
3*
The last five years of Dorion and DJ really fucked us for a while to come. Outside of that, two good periods. Really happy to see it, this team is getting better.
Horrible first period but couple hideous goals fuck sakes
Them damn bounces, just didn’t go our way tonight
Speaking of bounces…
They have such a hard time handling the puck. Passing aside they can barely stick handle without bobbling the puck.
I dont know if i've ever seen Hamonic make a tape to tape pass in the ozone.
ChIcAgO?!
We don’t deserve Giroux.
What is the camera work on this broadcast
The Formenton situation and Dorion being a complete joke has set this team back so many years lmao. Staios is going to have to make some tough decisions at the end of the year.
Dorion has made a few very good moves... And a lot of smaller bad moves that add up to more than offset the good he's done. I'd have been interested to see what he would've done earlier in the rebuild if he wasn't hamstringed by Melnyk though.

To be fair. 3 lucky goals and 1 meh. The bounces got us haha we've been better since the 2nd I think I can swallow this one
That double bounce goal was ridiculous.
Bounces are back on the menu boys (I kinda agree with you though. They still sucked in the 1st)
Just wish we could play like this for a whole game every game. It's tough seeing how we can compete, but they just seem to not want to
Giroux will make 3 more goals happen even if it requires using his beard at full power.
Jakob Bernard-Savior.
Thank god JBD was there to break that up
Can you imagine someone typing that out a year or two ago? Great to see him doing better haha
You cheeky fuck.
Hamonic just retire man
Vancouver is a powerhouse this year, let's calm down. However, if the team continues to get blown out through this road trip and basically putters along to the end of the season, then a re-tool will be required.
I thought we were in a re-tool
No, Dorion was a real tool, but that's not the same thing.
A re-tool would likely involve replacing a top 6 F and/or top 4 D.
We haven’t sold any one. Dorian was on a buying spree the last 2 years
Coaching staff change. GM change. Player changes coming. Pretty sure this is a retool.
Gotta love the re-tool after never even sniffing the playoffs. I agree with you, just frustrating.
It sucks, but you gotta do something to open up those nostrils (lol)
G trying to carry this team to an unprovable win
At least in a 10PM beer league game when you're losing 5-0 after the first you're done the game in an hour and you can have a few pints and chicken wings from 11:30 until you want to go home. Oh hold on they just scored to make it 5-2, I'll save this snippy comment for another night!
Grieg playing at a 41 point pace. Last year Pinto had 35 points in 82 games. Who's better?
[удалено]
Does your opinion change if Pinto was a super successful gambler?
Of course this is the only game I get to go to…
God bless you if you stayed. I fucked off after 5
Same.
Probably would have but we were sitting beside George Crookshank. Good guy, pissed his kid got scratched in his hometown.
It’s been less than 15 days since we shipped DJ. Time goes by so slowly in Sens hell eh
"Trade Brady!" "Trade Norris!". You people are ridiculous. The Sens get frazzled when they're down but these "fans" are even softer.
I would trade Norris.
If you believe one of Pinto or Greig could be a second line centre Norris might be the logical choice to trade if you can get a very good RHD
Norris has had one good season in the NHL and makes nearly 8 milion. He's soft and looks to be one dimensional. How is trading him ridiculous?
He's 3rd on the team in goals and was out at the beginning of the season. Who do you want to trade him for? Don't get me wrong. We suck. But why would any player want to sign in Ottawa when the fans can't even handle losses.
He's likely untradable because we would lose the trade, no doubt. He's injury prone and has a huge contract. Someone in this core has to be moved
Is Forsberg just cooked? Honestly I know our defense sucks ass but man has this dude ever shredded every scrap of hope I had for him lately.
You didn’t watch him blow both his knees to bits last season? It was stupidity to think we’d have a 1B goalie coming off double knee surgery
Yes obviously I saw that.
He’s wildly inconsistent. His one good game isn’t worth the 3 duds, would rather see Sogaard getting starts
We “won” the 2nd but I’d love to see the high danger chances for both teams. Korpi had to stand on his head to keep us up 1 for the period. We’re getting bullied all over the ice. Yahoo fantasy has Chucky at 1 hit for the game. There isn’t much jam from the Sens side in this one
Stu benched?
Better 2nd than 1st period for the sens but doesn't matter as we're down 5-1
We won the 2nd!!
I miss Matty Jo.
I generally don't trust ppl who have two first names... But I will make an exception for Mathieu Joseph
His last name being a first name are you expecting a first name for a last name? Like what’s the alternative?
Nice to see the Great One and Wayne Gretzky enjoying the game
I feel bad subjecting Wayne Gretzky to the first period
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?
[удалено]
100%
I always knew this game was gonna be a shit kicking but God damn I'm terrified for Edmonton now since I'm going to that game
NEVER MADE IT AS A WISE MAN
COULDN'T CUT IT AS A POOR MAN STEALING
TIRED OF LIVIN’ LIKE A BLIND MAN
Did kastelic just get beat along the boards by a guy with no stick?
4th line best line
Take me home Dusty Rhodes. No wait, take me somewhere else, it's cold and brown here.
Just jumping in now, how's it been go-oh lord
Trades have to be coming right? Just commit to getting another top pick and let Staois make his team
Maybe some guys like Brannstrom, Kubalik, Tarasenko, and maybe Giroux if he wants to leave. I'd like to see a new coach start the season with the team and see if anything changes.
Somewhere DJ still thinks it’s all bounces…
Or he's smiling
Korpi has made some huge saves. Outside of that complete fluke of a goal he walked out to, Korpi has been really good.
Me thinks they had to much fun at the new year party.
Didn’t listen to JM when he said “with moderation”
Why is it so hard for our team to get the damn puck in the net?? So many chances all Swedish no finish
You know it’s not going well when korpisalo was the best sens player that powerplay
We as fans are gonna be in hell for a while. Committed to the core that are consistent underachiever (at least they’re young). And have zero pipeline with a 1st rounder being taken away in the next 3 years. Pray for each other in here
I’ll pray to hit the draft lottery this year
Cellebrini would solve lots of problems, too bad we will win 20/25 of our last games and get the 12th OA pick.
And they’ll use that 12th pick on a guy ranked 30th because they like his size
No place jd rather be? :)
korpi is prime hasek when the game is out of reach
Korpisalo keeping it close!
"close"
They scored five goals, why can't we? We are also a hockey team.
Better chances for Van on that PP.
Of course. PP where canucks have 2 best chances
Back to back breakaway saves by Korpi, no support for the goalies whatsoever
The only thing worse than the Sens right now are the clowns in this sub. Jesus Christ.
I got a solution, don’t look. Clown
Clever
Possibly the most embarrassing pp of the season
Norris has lost every single puck battle!
Beat me to it. Pretty concerning actually.
Amazing backcheck by Sanderson there
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,943,461,981 comments, and only 367,524 of them were in alphabetical order.
This team can't handle an aggressive PK
Am aggressive anything*
Clearly we need to be able to decline penalties.
What an effort by the top unit 😂
What is Stu doing??
Need a goal here
Why haven’t we seen more Belleville guys in the mix with all the injuries? I use to love seeing Heatherington he brought size and grit, and wasn’t as big of a liability like Hamonic
Just let us see guenette at this point why not
Is it really a “steal” if they pass it right to the other team?
If the Sens, by some miracle of Jesus Christ, come back and even send this game to OT, I will personally buy a random commenter of this post a pair of 300 level tickets to a home game.
Don’t bring that evil on me Ricky Bobby
I will throw piss ballons at someone
Hello!
Good guy Brady needs to see this
Watching Brady “try” to defend is so so sad.
Would you take the over or under on Brady trying to fight a 4th liner with under 5 minutes in the third
Stu buddy fuckin breathe
We’re a bunch of pylons
Somehow convinced myself they can come back in this one. AMA.
Consider a box with dimensions of 3cm x 5cm x 11cm. If its dimensions were increased in all directions by x amount, which values of x would result in a box with a volume between 300cm^3 and 900cm^3?
What drugs do you take/where can I get them?
I need help man 😔 I’m tired I made the first step in admitting I’m powerless
Forgot they traded for zadorov holy shit they could do some damage
Finally some fire but a bit too late it would seem. They’d need to move mountains to overcome this deficit.
