Crosby back to help his team… I guess Brady thought a 4 team tournament was more important than helping his team get to the playoffs….Ok is now the time to trade Batherson?
Okay Staois, yesterday would’ve been the ideal time to make some moves for some help here. Literally any nhl players would help.
I hate to say it but you need to shake up your top six.Batherson to Calgary for Anthony Mantha.Norris to Buffalo for Cozens,Buffalo then trades Norris to Chicago for Reichel and a pick.
Brady can play in 4 nations but can’t play for us. To me he doesn’t want to be here. After having so much pride playing for USA and with his brother. I bet he asks for a trade. Ullmark will go off injured again. He doesn’t care because he signed his extension. Staios needs to make some big moves. I don’t have hope of getting in the playoffs.
Amadio and Perron are just not doing it. I feel bad for Perron and hope he and his family are okay, and he obviously gets more leeway. But those guys are making $7M collectively and they have 18 points in 66 collective games… it’s just not good enough.
Reinhart, Highmore and Gaudette should be the top line in Belleville. They can’t get anything going offensively. And I worry that Ostapchuk is getting rushed in his development.
I’m on board with you guys, depth has become a real concern in this organization. I get were injured but there’s no excuse not to find cheap players who can chip in every once in a while. We’re asking for trouble with this bottom six. And Ross, you are 100% correct in saying there’s a fine line between sleepy and steady. It’s time for Staios to make a move.
Did Ross not say previously that if Brady played in the 4 Nation Final but missed this game he would be pissed?
This is what's wrong with Ottawa media. None of you have any balls. Start calling out the fkn organization and the players. 7 fkn years and counting
The Sens looked rusty while the loss was ugly at 5–2 to the Habs.
We need to shake the roaster now.
Odd night overall in the league, high scoring coming out of 4 Nations.
I thought Gaudette tipped Sanderson’s shot. It definitely hit something around him.
Brady didn't ask for time off — as you mention on the show he's played every game but 1. He plays through injuries and fatigue for this team. Medical and Management sat him out. They've sat other key players for less this season too. McDavid played and the Oilers lost 6 – 3, and despite Crosby playing for them the Penguins got blown out 8 – 3 earlier today as well… like, any discussion that Brady would have made an impact on this game is ridic and frankly is a casual fan take. Guys who played legit minutes in that tournament are destroyed rn. Linus played tonight and look at what that got us…
The upshot of this game is that Tim finally played like a star. It wasn't enough (for this game) but how long have we been following the story line that Stutzle needs to preform at an elite level and he looked every bit like a star tonight and not just a great prospect that WE believe in. There's a real world where Tim is the only guy left on this team after trades so it was great to see him step up and show leadership without Brady around. He can't be little brother forever. PP1 was fantastic tonight with a goal in 40s. Their 2nd power play chance might have converted if it wasn't split between two periods as well.
Calling out Amadio when he's got 3 goals in his last 5 was a bit much. I get that you wanna look down the roster to see what's missing but c'mon. Giroux has been struggling to be a consistent impact player since his herculean effort in the Avs game at the beginning of the season. Between him and Perron there's so much money (over $10M) tied up in vet 3rd line shifters. Their cup exp can't be worth another two players… like… it just can't be. We need plays and we need goals. They play like they're trying to keep up.
But nothing compares to Bath's game tonight. In G's worst game of the year (UHC @ Sens) he still hits a redeemer and scores the game winner. Maybe the game is different if his tip went in but tonight Bath couldn't buy a decent shift with any of his $5M. At one point in the 2nd period he watched the puck sail through his legs before reacting to it — dude straight up forgot how to play hockey tonight. At that price point he's our next-man-up when Pinto, Norris, and now Brady go down and we haven't seen it from him. He is great in games were already winning but there is zero excitement in seeing 19 on the ice. What's his impact for this team? You don't have a competitive roster when your "star" L2 can't even remember to not pass the puck to the opposing forwards. Staois has said time and time again that he thinks the solution is in the room but I'm losing confidence in that. We don't have a complete tool belt, it feels like — too many Hammers collecting pay checks.
Somebody wake up sleepy steve staios
imagine if brady is getting traded
Uh oh, beware the curse of Brady! 1 point away from no payoffs… Again! The last playoff run as you know was the season BEFORE Brady was added. coincidence? well, good luck! (I know Brady didn't play today, but I'm just saying that the wild card spot is slipping away and Brady does suck! all grit that's it!
Habs Fans taking over the CTC and the Ole Ole chants at home is beyond embarassing
Perron = Kubalik
We’ll never win another game with an AHL roster fellas. It’s that simple.
Management need to be held accountable for this situation. We’ve got no cap space, 11/7 and 9 AHL forwards. It’s a shocking situation to be in at this stage of the season.
My take on our captain:
I think he’ll always give 100 percent as he a pro.
Unfortunately I’ve believed for a couple of years that if he had the chance to go to a team like Florida, he’d be out the door as quick as possible.
Perron has been a terrible addition. Amadio almost as bad. Ullmark injured constantly. Jensen excellent. Cousins below average. Gregor nonexistent. Gaudette excellent for 6 weeks and then invisible since.
It’s not been a great return has it.
I've got to learn to lower my expectations watching this below average team , this was a disappointment .
Free the Leevi! Ullmark is just not working out, trade before its too late!
Brandon's been drinking the coolaid again , this was a terrible performance . Let’s remember fan's look forward to these games considering everyones financial limitations and that's what you you get for a ticket.
Can anyone explain to me how Ullmark is this bad? We send a guy down to B-ville right after he gets a shut-out, and then while he's down there, he gets two more shutouts, and in the meantime we go on a 4 game losing streak with horrible netminding… My take is that Ullmark isn't ready: he sure isn't playing like he was before his injury. Is Ullmark lling just to get back on the ice? Staios is not impressing me right now…..Neither is Ullmark.
This is the result you get when Tkachuk, Pinto & Norris are all out of the lineup. The puck management isn't there, turnovers, not finishing chances and what is it now the third game in a row they played 11 and 7. I know we have injuries but that strategy is awful clearly doesn't work for them and to top it off not getting the solid goaltending from Ullmark. Terrible first game back to finish off this last stretch and it's not going to get any easier when we play the Jets next. I agree this was Bath's worst game of the season two turnovers leading to goals. FIGURE IT OUT!
Love show. Hate the result. C u Saturday
One thing we all witnessed is that Brady is a true blood die hard American. If the booing of the USA anthem continues, be warned Brady won’t like it. He may not say it but he won’t forget the disrespect. He is in the middle of his prime and built for the playoffs. We need him mentally ready not feeling like he is playing in a disrespectful shit hole of a city.
