But Brassard took an entire season to adapt to the system and became a beast in the playoffs. That extra year of cost control on Duchene looms large as I think he will bounce back.
So what you've been saying TJ is I should cancel the Matt Duchene jersey I got you for Christmas? 😄 (jk)
LOL!! I was not a fan of this trade at all, I really believed his best days behind him and Sens gave up way to much to get a guy who hasn't been at the top of his game for years and now we are seeing what the numbers were saying about his play.
I hope to everything I'm wrong and he turns back into the #1 Center he's supposed to be but this SMALL sample size is terribly disturbing to my mental health about this squad.
No. No you didn't. I think Boucher's system has a one season life expectancy... teams figure it out, he can't adapt and then we're effed. During one of the periods it was mentioned we also have one of the worst save percentages in the NHL... considering even last year this team gave up a tremendous amount of shots per game, screws us over royally. We let the opposition have so much more zone possession than we should. Without stellar goaltending this dooms us from the start.
Tampa’s goaltending fell apart in year 2 of his tenure there. Could be a coincidence, but it’s pretty damn consistent. The team as a whole though is not confident and is hesitant it seems.
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't bother staying up. We'll see if tonight looks any better.... but if Stone is still sick, we have literally nobody that will put in the effort right now.
Does that go for the #1 Center the Sens spent a literal fortune on? This is driving me to drinking milk shakes and eating bon bons late at night

TJ hates it so it must be good.
