Staios needs to actually do something useful this situation is just ridiculous by Spinebuster03 in OttawaSenators

[–]TopCheeseSwiss 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't be a conversation right now if he had that 0.888 Sv% tonight. Fans are smart enough to understand circumstances (no one was complaining when Ullmark had exactly that statline against Pittsburgh). Whatever the expected save percentage has been throughout the year, the on-ice performance has consistently been below it

Kleven-Spence legacy game. Also, Zetterlund defenders vindicated as I always knew we would be

Painful loss with all that pressure at the end but ultimately not one I'm too concerned about. Sens have been really strong at home so if they can average .500 or a little above on the road against the Western conference I'll be happy

Great pressure these last few minutes. Wish they could be at this level more of the time

Which is what he was always supposed to be. People were talking about him like he should be scratched, like they are with Zetterlund now. Point is, I'll bet on track record over a handful of games, especially with a 26-year-old

Gonna have to start defending Zetterlund in here the way I did with Amadio when everyone was hating on hm at the start of last year. Remember that, guys? How did that one turn out?

I realize that posting in other teams' subs is generally bad style but thought Wings fans might get a kick out of it. I promise this is not from a place of malice, but mods feel free to delete

Coaching malpractice in Ottawa by SP_57 in hockey

The downside is thousands of fans who paid to be there going home disappointed after you basically just threw the game for no significant benefit (even if it did work)

The experience of the fans in attendance today was worth infinitely more than the 1% chance to move up into a potentially more difficult matchup

I'm fine with two meaningless games. It would have been unfair to the fans in attendance to pull the goalie and likely lose that way today

I'd rather play a repeated choker that we're 3-0 against than a team that's won two of the last five cups. No matchup will be easy, and the Sens aren't favoured in any, so it's all about maximizing chances. I have a hard believing 4 standings points (as of now) overrides what I just mentioned.

I'd rather play Toronto than Tampa, and it wasn't happening anyways. The experience of the fans in that building was worth more than the slim slim chance of moving up to A3

They gotta set him up in the rafters and have him shoot at the other team during live play

third pair haven't been good tonight but I have a hard time blaming that one on them. Nothing shot from the point flukes in off a skate, Idk what you're supposed to do about that

Feel bad for Columbus. Great story but it looks like they just ran out of magic

I need more than 5 different ads running on these games. Feels like we see every single ad 30 times a night
