   They played exactly like the previous game and scored the exact same number of goals. Maybe they should consider playing differently.

   I would fix the offence by trading the Sens's top six for the Oiler's top 6. But seriously folks, I've been saying this for years, they need to work on accuracy , both in passing ans shooting. And the solution is simple. They need to pick a target instead of a general direction.

   There’s no way around this but you have to acknowledge that this team has never been high scoring, especially in today’s NHL where scoring is up across the board. Brady’s 30 goal seasons are not impressive in the context of the seasons in which they occurred, 40 is the new 30 in today’s NhL, and 1.15 PPG is the new 1.0 PPG – Batherson, Norris, Giroux and yes, Brady are the guys you need to look at and consider moving to shake things up. You need to give up something big to change the outcome here. So long as we run it back like this we will get similar results – Tim Stutzle is the only one you can see has real offensive talent, he’s 23 and already plays at a PPG pace, with terrible wingers. If Timmy had a real winger he would be producing even more. Imagine if Timmy was playing with any of the leagues top 20 wingers, Connor, Keller, pastrnak, Panarin, kaprizov etc. as much as we love Brady I wouldn’t include him in the list of the best 20 wingers in the NhL because he does not have the top line speed or the pure goal scoring talent. He’s got some character intangibles but those do not lead to winning hockey games clearly – the evidence is in from 7 straight years. So the hard truth is, some of those guys need to go, you need to send a message about execution, and you also need to change the talent level of the top 6.

   Travis has got them thinking so much defense that they forget how to score goals

    Had Marchand tried to choke anyone else it would have been a penalty. It's the Nick Cousins effect. They could be the 2 spidermen looking at each other meme. lol

    @patsgarage8593 12 months ago

    Forsy is the only player who showed up last night. I've been critical of him but I much prefer this version of him and hopefully he's figured it out.

    Im thinkin we have Chychrun type drama again. Maybe the glee club is over? For some reason i dont believe Jake or Ullmark are actually hurt

    @patsgarage8593 12 months ago

    With all the time off I thought Perron looked great last night. It made me think that this team needs more actual NHL players on it. The callups have been good but this team needs wins. The big team isn't a development team anymore.

    Good analysis today lads. Sens should incl. in video session.😅

    @TheDjcorey19 12 months ago

    We need a sniper. Norris is our best shooter by far and he can't hit forty. Timmy can't score. He's a disher. Brady scores garbage goals. We need another Debrincat, except that actually wants to play here

    Stop sending two guys into the ozone corner to get a puck, have two guys out front.

    I'd suggest to stick your stick in the toilet to break out of a scoring slump.. but i dunno if there's enough toilets in that dressing room

    if there's one small silver lining over these last few games its that kleven is becoming more noticeable and putting in the good work. his pokes, blocks and just general IQ has been getting better and its nice to see him coming into his own. and he's trying to generate some scoring, he seems to be one of the few recently thats not afraid to shoot

    @BloodandSoilNS 12 months ago

    I was tired of Tkachuk a while ago. He can't skate, he can't shoot, he hits, yeah, but that is to make up for the lack of all the things he sucks at. He's an overhyped mediocre player, and I don't get why people are so vehemently against the idea of trading him. Make Ottawa Great Again dammit!

    I’ve said time and time again; these Sens are on a roller coaster season…they’re either very hot or very cold – they lack consistency which is the middle ground

    @edpottinger849 12 months ago

    Try this lineup variation.Pinto,Brady and Drake
    Second line Stuzle as center Norris on one wing and Claude on the other wing.
    Run a checking line .Greig,Gaudette, and Amadio.

    @shannonreading8256 12 months ago

    I'm sure Steve is looking to see what's out there, but I don't he should make any drastic moves. They'll figure it out on their own. They know how to score, they just seem to be going through a slump at the same time.

    31:48 about the 4 nations as a mini deadline, heard somewhere that GM don’t want to acquire anyone before the 4 Nations break because they have to carry on the cap during the break without benefiting from having them I’m the lineup during that time. Or put another way, it’s just an other reason why it’s hard for GMs to do their jobs.

    Brandon Pillar says shutdown the top line of Utah if you want to win. Are we talking about the same team that gave Rempe and Lettieri their first goals of the season recently?

    Claude needs to get back to the right. Brady Stutz Giroux. Bring up Yakemchuck. Trade for a finesse left winger.

    The Leafs, over their past seven games, have allowed at least three goals, and not scoring on them even once will for the Sens be a huge disappointment.

    @ianbartos7693 12 months ago

    I think the scoring woes are caused by coaching mostly. how can this many players all be slumping at once. not lines really
