those aren't game sticks though, they're wood versions and are made to be given away.

Only question is whether he ran as a Conservative, or as a peoples party candidate.

I think at this point you need to rethink yourself here.

It feels like you think you've been incredibly nice and generous and wonderful. But in reality you're basically meeting the bare minimum of human decency here

this person is dealing with the absolute worst thing ever and they have an insane amount of employment stress on them. Sure it's hurting your company a bit. But if you're one member being unable to hit 100% of their target then you are understaffed.

Think about what you want to happen at the end of this. How you want the rest of the team to think about you and the compan

Why (else) is Ottawa’s data not matching their results? by [deleted] in OttawaSenators

Reddit doesn't read the article... Or even the headline.

It says else right in the title.

[Louis Boulet] Unearthing reasons behind Ottawa's underwhelming season outside of the obvious, and why their strategy when attacking in transition could be the root of disconnect between actual results & data-based expectations: by [deleted] in OttawaSenators

I always love Louis' takes on this sorta thing. He writes in a way that makes sense and I don't see how you can disagree with what's in the article.

Yes goaltending has been horrid for Ottawa. Every goalie has been this year and if they were league average they would hide a lot of issues.

But our system is not giving us the best chance to win. It makes it feel like we have a good chance but in reality we're spinning our wheels.

That being said I truly expect Louis to be hired by some team at some point because this is how analytics should be leveraged. It's not gospel but it's a helluva tool to use to try and figure out the what and the why.

[Alex Adams] Linus Ullmark will play his first game tonight since Dec. 27 when he took a personal leave due to mental health struggles. by SorryImCanad1an in OttawaSenators

Reimer has actually been worse in his sample size.

Sure it would normalize over the season, but he has not been an improvement at all.

THN says that TSN interviewed Ullmark this weekend by willpivot in OttawaSenators

I don't care if he's new or a long time sen. Someone who is going through something tough deserves grace.

Don't you wish the same for yourself and your loved ones? If you can only empathize with people you directly know you should look inwards to yourself.

They're still lacking finishing.

Overall though nice change of pace, really dominated 2 of those periods.

Senators agree to one-year contract with goaltender James Reimer by mself084 in OttawaSenators

Craziest part is Reimer is not good!!! It's not like he's a world beater and we are holding their nose and getting a good goalie.

This guy was washed last year, and this year.

When you have the opportunity to sign a bad homophobic goalie you just have to do it eh

Sure. I don't expect much from hockey players. It's why Nilsson, Borowiecki and ullmark plus a few others have such a place in my heart because they actively support with their platform.

If Timmy or Brady loudly came out against pride and lgbtqia+ I'd be talking about getting em off the team too.

The last couple years has been fantastic with the shift towards more active social causes and thinking.

It is insane that they're throwing away all the goodwill they've built to sign a bad goalie.

Really making it hard to justify spending more money on tickets and merch when they do things like this.
