It may be a new year, but it looks like the same old Ottawa Senators as they lose 6-3 in embarrassing fashion to the Vancouver Canucks.
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan break down this game and are scratching their heads trying to figure out what can be done about the poor goaltending for both Anton Forsberg and Joonas Korpisalo. It’s not all on the goalies though as the defensive effort is what led to a lot of the bad bounces that allowed the Canucks to get off to a 5-0 lead in the 1st period. And, the PWHL Ottawa debut had a record setting crowd and was a smashing success despite losing 3-2 in overtime.

Whatever NHL teams need to win – this team doesn’t have it. I’m not saying rebuild but, this management group needs to move the tectonic plates here, a big roster move is needed and one that shocks these young players into a new compete level. Also JM is just not a long term coaching solution, but I know they can’t do anything about that until the summer when the best candidates may be available.
Am I the only one who notices how soft Norris is in puck battles ? It’s like he doesn’t even care that the other team is taking possession. These are some of the reasons that we have outcomes like this so often.. I don’t think you can put this all on goalies but it has been pretty bad.. need a shakeup here
Solid!
The sens have a roster problem. We look like the edmonton oilers before McDavid and Drai. Soft core that doesn't know what it takes to win.
Blow the team up. It's over for this core. So disappointing
„Toxic SENSitivity“? Just to sum this gongshow up 😂
Don't forget 3rd goalie for the Swedes Kevin Reidler. Hamara has really impressed me this tourney its a big difference compared to last year. Sadly Oskar Pettersson isn't playing very much for the Swedes at this tourney so tough to see where he's at
Anton Forsberg is not an NHL goalie and that's why no other team in the league wanted him. He ended up on the worst run, last place team that uses 5+ goalies a season. Half the guys he's had to compete against for a job aren't even in the league anymore. You'd have to pay to get rid of him in an NHL trade and probably not worth it to do a minor league trade. Best option is to waive him, he clears and can move into more of a hands-on mentorship role for the younger goalies. As a guy who worked so hard that he got a job he didn't have the skill for, he has a lot of value as a mentor.
The PWHL game was alot of fun to watch. But man they NEED team names. They are missing out on merch $$$. I"m not buying a generic Ottawa jersey. Sens game was…..another Sens game. Same script different day. Thought Korpi did great in relief until that last one. I still like Korpi even though the numbers aren't great. I think its time for Soogard to get a try as Forsy has been wildly inconsistent. Plus Soogard is playing well right now
It's not all on the tendies, allthough they are not à formidable tandem. See Cam Talbot, all of a sudden a top performer. Defense is very weak at the right (totally undeep), the only forward backchecking is out (Joseph)., the core is way too soft. Soft spoken Jacques Martin was pretty hard in telling the truth after the game. What does the core want? I think one or two pieces need a big wake up call or even should be traded. Dorion left a cap strained mess.
Look up the difference between moral and morale.
The Forsberg game against Buffalo was an outlier. Buffalo made the same mistakes Ottawa makes on offense where they would shoot too much from low quality areas. A good team would make life difficult for goalies with structured offense that generates quality chances.
A 1A/1B Goalie idea works if you're in a winning system. The Senators don't have that and the constant rotation is hurting both of them mentally.
Everything that we are witnessing with this team is all due in a nutshell to the indoctrination of DJ Smith to the players. Most of them never had a real coach before. It will take months to correct if even possible. They basically need to relearn how to play professional hockey in the NHL.
