The Ottawa Senators could not weather the storm as their win streak is over with a 4-3 loss to the Lightning in Tampa.
Brandon Piller and Ross Levitan recap last night’s game discussing Linus Ullmark’s return, questionable lineup decisions and more. The loss was overshadowed by an early injury to Shane Pinto that saw him go to the room and not return with an upper body injury. If he remains out, who should the Sens call up from Belleville? And we take a look at how last night’s out of town scoreboard affected the Sens in the Eastern Conference Playoff race!

Wyatt should be called up
He will help this because he doesn’t quite which this team likes to do in big games
We had just won 5 in a row and had really barely lost this one. I think we’re being hard on the guys. Let’s pray for a quick return for pints and norris
You guys are great!
We should call up another GM for a centre
You've lost two offensive players you don't need another plug haliday is your man
What kind of black magic voodoo is involved for the Wings to win 7 in a row?
Why not Giroux in the middle? Timmy 1 Giroux 2 Greig 3 call up a winger or go 11/7. I know he's mainly been a winger on this team but he was an elite center in Philly
For the first 10 minutes the only Sens player on the ice was Ullmark.
Ross & Pillzy fingers crossed Pinto is back sooner rather then later he is a massive asset to this team along with Norris. I have a good feeling about next game they know they are in the thick of it in the standings and I'm sure will give us a full 60 minute effort next game and Ullmark has to play again. GSG!
Green should have pulled Ullmark at the start of the PP.
I would have kept Mantipalo with Klevin. They were playing very well together.
That’s why i love listening to you guys… you have attachment to the organization and calling that Hamonic fiasco as it is… unlike the “MSM” who are trying to convince us “hamonic has been good”
Kiss my fu*kin ass!
I am legitimately worried that Staios will actually resign hamonic this summer!!
Anyways, rant over
Go SENS Go
They looked gassed from Travel for sure – we need Matinpalo in over Hamonic
I wouldn't blame a goalie on that Hagel shot either. That was an incredible play & shot by Hagel. Just admire that, and move on.
Actually, I'd go with Halliday too.
When players mention the best attribute to your game is communication that's a dead sign that said player is no longer a everyday NHLer. I don't get why the Sens continue to hinder the lineup by playing Hamonic and it's not his fault and I like Hamonic but it's clear he's not able to play at an NHL level every night anymore. Hamonic is the perfect 7th dman he can help guys in practice with his communication and the boys clearly love having him around and hes a vet which is exactly what you want for a 7th dman
They really should be using Giroux at 2C in this situation. Giroux was always a top line C….. why not?
I’ve never known a more consistently injured team in my 44 years of watching sport. It’s every single game where we lose someone. And it’s been the same for YEARS. It’s never ending.
And fellas. What has Travis Hamonic possibly got on management? How can Green possibly have scratched Matinpalo and kept Hammer in? Sometimes I think he must be watching a different game to the rest of us.
Aaaannnnddd… G as 2nd centre, bring Halliday up to play 3rd.
Spend the money and go out and buy a centre if you can we went through a lot to get here.
Solid!
With both Norris AND Pinto out, this is what they WILL do with the forward lines:
Tkachuk Stützle Giroux
Perron Greig Batherson
Reinhardt Gaud Amadio
Highmore Ostapchuk Mac
This is what they SHOULD do:
Tkachuk Stützle Gaud
Crook Greig Giroux
Perron Halliday Batherson
Highmore Ostapchuk Amadio
This way you have three lines with decent scoring ability. Doesn’t have to be those exact line combos, but I really think you need one of G or Bath on the third line if there’s no Pinto. Or at the very least Greig.
Reinhardt doesn’t do much for me. MacEwen either. I’d much rather see two of Halliday, Crookshank, and Pilon get called up. Bongio is also an interesting option.
Edit:
I’m also in the Matinpalo over Hamonic camp. Not because I’m an Hamonic hater. Just that Matinpalo has been better and has earned the spot in my opinion.
I’m not a doctor, but I did notice something regarding the Pinto injury. As he was going down the tunnel, I saw him lifting that left arm, sort of stretching it out.
Hopefully that means nothing is broken, or will require surgery. Maybe just a really bad muscle strain. I still expect him to be out for weeks. But maybe it’s not several months/the rest of the season. 🤷🏻♂️
Again; not a doctor. And even if I was, you can’t diagnose an injury from watching a guy lift his arm. And it’s quite possible you can have a major, season ending injury but still be able
To lift and move your arm like that
