Ridly Greig is set to make his NHL debut up against the New York Islanders tomorrow night!
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan discuss what are appropriate expectations for the 20 year old who is set to centre the 2nd line with DeBrincat and Claude Giroux up against the team that originally had the 28th overall pick in the 2020 draft where he was selected. We send our thoughts and prayers to Bob Jones and the Jones family, as the Sens Assistant Coach was diagnosed with ALS. And we finish the episode with a Sens Prospect Round Up and taking a look at Bob McKenzie’s 2023 NHL Draft Rankings.

Shout out Ridley, I hope they let him fly and give a few more a shot! Pumped for a good one today boys
Ill be realistic about it. With Ridly Grieg with the second line, it allows more creativity to Debrincat and Giroux and with Grieg being a really good agitator, it makes that line draw penalties aswell and with keeping Pinto on the third line with Batherson, which I think is the real watch in all this, could potentially get more scoring from their depth lines, which has been the real problem. To be completely honest, I dont think it will make a difference because DJ's system simply does not work. If Dorion had a brain cell and tried to keep the excitement up, even if the Sens dont make the playoffs, they should have fired DJ as of today, and hire Boudreau as an interim while he is the big talk around the NHL and would bring the attendance up as much as it can, it brings hope to the fans, and if it was done today, Boudreau would have been behind the Sens bench and his debut would have been against the Islanders. How poetic would that be? Boudreau is a players coach with YEARS experience in the NHL. Shuffle the lines as much as the Sens want, bring in whoever, it wont change a thing until the coach is gone. Chabot has not been the same since the sens traded Demelo..who Dorion traded for a third round pick. Think about that. Look how Morrisey is playing when hes beside Demelo. By bringing in Boudreau, that move could have been the big move that could have saved Dorion's job, but truly, neither Dorion nor DJ know what they are doing whatsoever, and it couldnt be more clear. DJ Smith should have never been the coach this long with any team in the league with his track record, and even with the added talent, the results, the issues, have NOT changed at all. After 4 years, coaching is a huge factor, and now Boudreau is right for the taking, and Dorion should be on the phone with Boudreau as of yesterday, but he is pure panic mode to fix this without firing his butt-buddy in DJ Smith, which makes those 2 people the biggest problems. Hence why I cant wait for the new ownership to come in to get rid of the 2 main cancers of this team in DJ Smith and now Dorion for yet another bad trade we dont talk about (The Demelo trade) but keeping DJ behind the bench far longer than he should have. Once they went 6-12, that should have been the end right there, but hes still there and the team with those additions 46 games later, they are no better than they were when they tore it down.
They should of keep Andy in my opinion 😎 ridley needs to play simple first in and first one back and hit hard
#wwwwWWWWELCOME
If we going to have a bad season this is the season to be bad I mean if we would get bedard it would change everything, more people will attend because they want to se bedard so we will have much more people in the CTC which have been a struggle (getting people to the CTC) Having bedard would also mean we can trade Norris to get a elite D. That will prob fix our defence and bedard would prob also make Debrincat going again (goals) and we will be a contender for years and we will make the playoffs all the time.
My expectation for Grieg is to just play his game. Check hard, get in guy's faces, and create space for Cat and G out there.
gimme oliver bonk this draft
How much do you guys think having Norris out for the year, and Timmy and Pinto only having maybe 100 total games at centre, (I don't know exactly how many) exposed, and put extra pressure on what we all know to be an already really weak D corps? I feel like that hasn't been talked about enough (or at all really). I feel like if Norris played all season, it might have covered up some of that weakness, and maybe we are still talking about possible Wild Card appearance. Good episode today, btw.
It's all about the Son of Bonk, Oliver
Playing with G and Cat.. all Greig has to do is be fist in the corners.. use his size to try and win battles there, get the puck to his wingers then go to the net with his stick down and he should be fine, might even help us get a 5 on 5 goal
Solid!~
Provocative Pillzy getting us all hot and bothered about the Sens.🙃
NYI Scott Mayfield – I will watch him like a hawk tomorrow. Listed 6'5" 223 pounds. Leads team on PK and blocked shots. UFA this summer. Is he a younger Holden or something better?
We need time stamps!!
I don't want Pierre to make any more moves. Let the board take away the keys please
I just want Grieg to be "the hardest worker" of his line. I know it's cliche. First into boards, first on puck, stuff like that and let the other guys do the scoring
Sorry to hear about Bob Jones. Sincerely sorry.
Do the Sens trade their pick again this year to try and get a solid RHD? Like you guys mention, top priority is to get defense but the top guy is ranked at 17. Sens could just draft the guy who will bring them the highest value, but what if he doesn't live up to the hype and the pick ends up being worth more than the player? Would the change of ownership prevent a big trade like this from happening?
Can't say you arouse me pillzy but I do appreciate your vim and vigour
Not many expectations outside of playing hard. I'm just glad to see he's playing with quality players and not getting the Sokolov treatment.
A Gordie Howe
Wouldnt Greig still have to serve his 1 game suspension for his hit in the pregame.
Seeing Ridly Greigs, between the legs goal in preseason had me thinking that he was ready for the NHL then.
Guaranteed pageau scores tomorrow. Bet the farm on it
Why do we even talk about line combos when we can't get the puck out of our end for three minutes and the lines end up in a blender all game anyway because guys are jumping off whenever they get the chance before the puck ends up back across our blue line
