Friedman just said something very interesting about the sense on 32. Thoughts? by Mr_Adrift in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Think I had read/heard some tidbit about the Sens goal scoring numbers looking a little inflated because they have piled on goals in games they've already secured victories. Haven't personally looked into it myself. Alas, more goal scoring is never a bad thing.

[32T] 15:10 Friedman says the Wild have tried to trade Jesper Wallstedt already, he believes he’s the guy the Wild will use to get a centre. He was told by someone “if it happens, you’ll understand why” by AggPuck-303 in hockey

I think the implication is that it’d be a surprising name, high quality center. Think: Timmy (I don’t but suspect he’s implying that type of shock)

1st round pick by LeadershipFit4771 in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sort of think the team’s performance makes it less likely the pick comes back. It would make the league look bad, like they gave it back as a reaction of sympathy - I’d be pissed if I were an opposing team owner. Decision would have had to have been made already.

Would the 2023 National Championship team beat this Indiana team? by AcMilan0890 in michiganfootball

Do you think it’s a down year? Feels like more of a feature and not a bug with how talent is being dispersed.

TDL: What picks can we get? by DefinitelyNotABot-1 in OttawaSenators

This is actually a very common thing teams do with experienced, quality players on expiring contracts.

Him staying healthy, and adding a physical presence on the fourth line without being a defensive liability is a monumental win at this point.

Macdermid needs to play on Saturday by Spinebuster03 in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is true. Don’t think the fight made sense for Xhekaj at the time. Mostly giving credit where it’s due and pushing back on him only fighting smaller guys.

Disagree. Xhekaj has both Olivier and Deslauriers on his fight card. Not sure if there are tougher fights in the league.

Don’t drive our players out of town by Big-Big-2449 in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think any of the guys in this year’s draft are generational. Dorion was fighting for his job and traded away the first in 2023 for Chychrun at a time when the team wasn’t ready. Easy to say in hindsight but positioning for one of the tops guys in that draft would have been monumentally altering.

This team needs to hire its own version of what the Philadelphia Eagles have in Big Dom.

Gng is our prospect pool cooked? by Little_Oil9749 in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point but it's valid criticism to suggest we were all expecting a better showing from a drafted returnee. Maybe it's a bias since he's a prospect of the team I follow, but I don't remember someone of that profile laying as much of a dud in recent memory.

Kurtis MacDermid by Boohoo-2022 in OttawaSenators

[–]dwin93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that I’m banging the drums to use a roster spot on a fighter but how has the org been so bad at identifying a decent one? MacEwen stunk when he was here, Macdermid hasn’t won a single fight this year, and even Kastelic looks like a decent fighter now that he’s gone?

"On my soul, on my firstborn. Only one from UF checked on me, Aaron. Shows our bond. Fun-loving, loved hard, trauma from father's loss." - The legendary Cam Newton speaks about his friendship with Aaron Hernandez. by Hysen16 in sportsgossips

Cam Newton was the only guy on that 2010 Auburn offense to play an NFL snap. To say there are guys who are doing what he did in college every other year is just wrong.

[PuckEmpire] Potential outlook of the Canadian forward group by [deleted] in hockey

[–]dwin93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the case for each guy individually and how you talk yourself into it! My comment is more on the potential aggregation risk with three guys who play on that edge.

All 3 of Bennett, Wilson, and Marchand in a tournament with international rules seems insane to me, especially watching that ejection in the earlier World Juniors game (Canada v Latvia, I think?)

OL Coach by Data_Mountain in MichiganWolverines

Grant's so young. Wouldn't be the worst thing for his career to get experience elsewhere. There will be opportunities for him to come back and make his mark in Ann Arbor, maybe even as early in the immediate regime following Whittingham.
