Gameday : Senators @ Sabres – Pregame Thoughts

Gameday : Senators @ Sabres – Pregame Thoughts

Hey good afternoon all The Boys Are Back In Action as they host the Ottawa Senators in the first of a five-game homestad coming Up all right so as I said the Beloved Ottawa Senators are in town we’re going to have to hope to sweep out all five games guys there’s no margin prayer and then went out I don’t know 31 in one our last five just to have a shot at anything um we I figure

We got to go 81 and one just have a shot 9 and one would give us a realistic shot 10 and0 might get us in you know so what I’m not hoping for anything but just a hot finish and a sign at least a sign that there’s a heartbeat in this

Team guys I mean we’ve been in a season now we’ve had two three-game winning streaks in those two winning streaks we have not managed once to get three regulation wins in a row we haven’t won three regulation wins in a row all season and for me that is a dead

Giveaway something’s wrong with the team and Adams as far as I’m concerned is too damn patient when it comes to making a coaching change on this team and uh if we finish out by three four points this year the problem with that it’s a double whammy for me I think it only secures

Granado for next year and I I want to see a coaching change I would love nothing more if we’re going to miss the PLS and to lose out all 10 and make it like the Ralph Krueger thing unbearable where we got to make a coaching change

Otherwise you know if you were to ask my guess I’d say we’re going to get nine points in the last 10 games and finish 82 points this year just it’s just how it feels like this season right okay so three games in the next four days we’re going to be busy with

Some videos here with those anyway uh sorry about yesterday guys I’ve thrown out my neck and my shoulder and I don’t know what I did I still haven’t been able to pinpoint what I did I don’t know what I’ve done I’ve been kind of bedridden with this thing so I’m just

Going to like cope do this and uh if you see me twitching it’s just because it’s driving me nuts so we got the Senators today day off tomorrow back to back we have New Jersey on Friday and the Maple Leafs on Saturday to close out the month

We’re one game over 500 for the month I believe if I calculated that right a game over 500 no push whatsoever not enough and in April then uh we have let me back up guys I just want to confirm that one more time yes we have the Maple Leafs on Saturday right

Okay and then we come uh we we don’t come home we’re the next home game is on Tuesday so Sunday Monday off the capitals are in town two days off the Flyers are in town that Flyers game might be more important than we think they could be the team that slides into

That final spot guys so the Flyers game’s huge too if the sabes get any any kind of a winning streak at home if there was any time to get on a five-game winning streak at home guys under this current regime the time is now and because if

They can’t get it done if they can’t win all five home games as far as I’m concerned they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs this year they don’t deserve anything but their own fate and then after that we go on the road we win in Detroit and predicting a win there

Ahead of time just because even if we’re out of it I want to make sure we wreck Detroit season so we’re we’re going to wreck Detroit season in that game anyway and then we got Dallas on the 9th the 11th we have the capitals for the final

Home game of the year then we close up in uh as we know in Florida and Tampa we don’t want to worry about those two games yet I mean those those two games we might be just you know just watching for the sake of watching hockey games at that point

You know there’s there’s no way I’m going to you know stress myself about the rest of the schedule I just wanted to give it to you because here we are in the final stretch run guys it’s been a miserable season hasn’t been fun it’s been very inconsistent all year long as

We know right when they give us hope they take it away again and that my friends is a 500 season That’s What teams do in a 500 season they just play with your nerves all year long you’ll look back and say wow we never really got any bad losing streak though and

I’ll tell you our numbers compared to last year if you want to know what the difference is with this year and last year most of you will say scoring and that we’re letting in fewer goals no we’re not winning in the those bogus extra times okay those extra times I

Guarantee by the end of the year that this record compared to last year’s record if I showed you at regulation time what our records would have been okay it’s going to be very close this year and know depending how we finish that is in regulation we have 10 full

Games left here but I was looking at it today and we won 12 games last year in extra time 12 so you know that’s 12 wins this is why I believed last year we kind of didn’t deserve to get in because we didn’t really win the regulation wins

Guys you know we all get frustrated with the one point thing but be realistic too think about it you know like if if there was these these overtimes these three Onre things that they call hockey uh didn’t exist and these silly shootouts and we just ended at regulation with

Ties uh last year the team would have been let me give you that record I remember that last year looking at it saying yeah Florida kind of deserved it they had six more regulation wins than we did last year I remember thinking that last year too but it was just a

Moral victory for us to finally come close to the playoffs ridiculous eh last year we would have finished in regulation if there we would have finished 30 33 and 19 we would have been three games under 500 okay this year because I look at regulation I don’t

Look at overtime I don’t I don’t count regulation points as loser points this is just a um a fad that the younger hockey fans I think have it’s the opposite guys it’s the opposite it’s the extra points the teams get in those bogus overtimes and those silly shootouts so ridiculous I wish the

League would do away with it but they you know the the fans today would rather have a watered down than a true product uh if we were if we were to right now this year in regulation we 28 33 and 11 that’s what we are this year in

Regulation 28 33 five games under 500 this year in regulation last year we finished three games under 500 in regulation and for those of you that say well you know they’re not really 500 then let’s say at 34 33 or game over 500 yes we are because if you’re going to call

That after 60 Minutes those are those those points shouldn’t count then you’re a fan of those extra time things that shouldn’t count either you know what I mean and like you can’t have it one way and say well yeah we’re really under 500 but meanwhile you’re counting the points you’re counting those as

Wins I don’t count them as wins really guys I just counted as lucky every time you win in overtime or you win in a shootout you’re just lucky you you win the face off you don’t win the face off it’s so stupid like I I don’t like I I

Wish they do away with it this this thing you know like general manager meetings it looked like accomplished nothing with this and um I I hate it I hate it with a passion it makes me hate the game of hockey these three on threes and these uh these uh but look it’s fun

To win them I get it because you’re going to win some during the season too right I think we’re about even this year give take you know we’ve um yeah we’re six and five so we got an extra point out of the deal you know we’re six and five we’ve lost five in

Um in extra time and we we’ve won six an extra time so take it for what it is guys it’s kind of but last year last year guys you might it was kind of a bit of a magical season we were really looked like a determined Bunch you know

We were 12 and seven that’s a big difference big difference we’re 12 and seven in extra time last year but 19 of our games went into extra time last year this year only 11 we had a lot of extra time games last year and we won felt like almost 2third

Of them so we were five games over 500 in extra time that kind of you know milked up our record a bit and this year we’re just a game over so you know the last two years have been I wouldn’t say drastically bad to us there’s other teams that have gotten

Hammered like the Bruins folks let me check that yeah I know I’m dragging this video a bit hold on guys uh the Bruins this year are really you know they’re they’re they’ve won third they’ve won um wow they they’re nine and 15 in overtimes the Bruins now will that pattern go into the

Playoffs with them that’s a question right but 24 games the Bruins would be 33 16 and 24 if it wasn’t for you know and and the thing is I don’t got a problem with ties I don’t I never have because it tells you the true story of a hockey

Game it does it tells you the true story of how it was fought for 60 minutes and and and I I was always a Believer folks that the time of the year that we see overtime is in the playoffs that it was reserved for that special time of the

Year the play thing called the playoffs so but I’m old school you know I miss those days I miss ties I really really do I know the majority of you are looking at me like what like but I do it’s one of those rants today I guess I

Miss ties because I’d like to know at the end of the year I might do a video guys on inside the numbers and we’ll look at the all the teams that made the playoffs exactly what they would have finished if there was no overtimes I’d like to know that but then

Again would have it really been the same no because you just lost a heartbreak yesterday in overtime that you should have won you out played this team all day long on a three-game winning streak you lost you’re going for your fourth and you lost in overtime so you’re

Carrying that anger into that next game because you lost in the overtime so no it doesn’t really count but I’m just curious what it would have shaped up like just if you know I wish they would change it back but I don’t think I’ll ever see the day come but they will get

Rid of shootouts that I can guarantee the will do away with shootouts eventually 100% that you can tell is on its final legs they’re going to get rid of it I’d say probably within 5 years they’re going to get rid of shootouts they’re going to it’s going to go and it’ll

Never come back they’ll get rid of it forever leave it for soccer honestly and silly ways to decide hockey games in gold medal games which is you know crazy right you should always play your guts out right to the end not rely on a goalie and a play or you know playing

Street hockey to decide like a moment that you’ll never maybe get again the rest of your life so guys after me blabbing and jumping all over the place today we’ll see if the boys can put a five-game win streak together at home if they’re going to have any chance they

Have to do that and if they lose today I’ll just cheer them on game to game and I don’t really give a damn really to get caught up emotionally really I’m just going to kind of go game to game see what happens see who shows up see if Dylan cousins can have a

Hattrick for example and just take it from there and and and hopefully next year is Kinder to us right but for now we are mathematically in this if we get a winning streak going I know all of you are going to be going crazy all of a

Sudden so let’s hang on to it we’ll just cheer the boys on today see what happens if they win the game it at least Keeps Us Alive for now as right now we’re eight points out I’m sure I’m calling that right and Detroit is um I’m

Really really have a hard time not you know the the killer yesterday guys is that game went to overtime you know like thanks Washington for letting Detroit you know get a point out of the deal late and of course Patrick Kane Mr Clutch and all that give me a break the

Guyy so washed up and finished okay um right now the capitals are at 81 points oh Detroit’s 79 right right okay so we’re six points behind Detroit even games played the capitals we are eight points behind them they still hold the game in hand if we sweep out put in your

Head we’re Four Points behind the capitals right now we beat Detroit also I count that right now that we’re four really technically Four Points behind the capitals if you count those two as regulation wins and behind the Red Wings were four points also we’re Four Points

Really out of catching these guys if we sweep those games in regulation okay we got to sweep those games in regulation and catch four points on them somehow in the other you know other seven eight games we have to okay guys I blob long enough I will see you I’ll see

You in the post game right it’s an early game so I’ll see you guys in the post game just hang in there for now and hope for the best nothing else we can do see you in the post game have a good One

Hey all, the boys begin a 5 game homestand tonight as they host another underachieving team in the Ottawa Senators, I figure the Sabres have to win out all 5 games to stay alive..thanks for watching 😎
