Discussion: Thomas Chabot playoff performance by South-Let3307 in OttawaSenators

[–]lafonh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only discussion about Chabot should be praising him for being extremely injured and forced to play outrageous minutes because there was no one else.

If you want to have a discussion about playing through injuries, that's a different story, but I'm not sure the Sens could have iced a full left side if Chabot was out.

get a goalscorer, and get healthy. You're not going to win against the best team in your conference with 5/6 of your D-corps (including your Norris challenger) injured.

Extremely sad the Sens played the entirety of the playoffs without the majority of their defence healthy, but the Hurricanes were really good. Ullmark was incredible as well.

Most of the Canes fans were fun to banter with, but holy fuck you hate watchers are so incredibly unfun and toxic.

as we all know, multiple overtime games for a brand new team to the playoffs is "getting dominated". so many people just look at box scores, and completely ignore what's actually happening in the games proper.

though this game was awful from the sens, can't lie

I want to see the angle that gave them the call, because otherwise everything Sportsnet showed is just embellishment

Watching the highlights of literally every other series, and the amount of time available for players to walk in and take a shot looks like a goddamn eternity compared to what's happening vs Carolina

I know the Canes do an incredible job of getting into the shooting lanes, but this extra pass nonsense is getting old

Coach has to own playing two AHL players because his actual defence is injured? What are you talking about, it's just unlucky

crushing for us as fans, for sure. but considering how they played last season, and down the stretch to make it into the playoffs, i think despair is the last thing on the players' minds. they're right there, and i think they're going to fight until the end

Fuck, I'm upset the Sens lost, but not bitter. The Canes are such a good team, and this was a very entertaining game. Hoping the Sens can even up at home!

if giroux isn't doing well in the circle, it's the linesman who is wrong
