The Sens are Sloppy! Meriläinen sent down, Defensive miscues, Does Ottawa need help?



What is your level of concern with the Ottawa Senators now?

A last-minute goal sinks the Ottawa Senators, dropping them to 2-4 on the season. Head Coach Travis Green didn’t mince words after the game, calling his team “loose” and “sloppy.”

We break down what went wrong, Green’s post-game comments, and what needs to change before the Sens dig a deeper hole.

🗣️ Travis Green (Post-Game):

“We’re on the wrong side of the puck… making hope plays, loose plays, losing battles. Our game’s a little sloppy right now — and if we weren’t, we’d have a better record.”

  1. Feels like they are caught between trying to score and playing defense. They need to commit to the defense. But the media needs to stop pressuring them on 5 on 5 scoring. The scoring will come if they have a great neutral zone set-up and defensive structure to turn pucks over and then attack with numbers.

  2. Tem has definitely had some bad luck.. but they've also made a lot of bad mistakes defensively, which have cost them. Need to tighten things up quickly before the season slips away.

  3. Loving the detailed play analysis. Do more of this. Any way for Yorkie to get a tablet so you can draw lines/circle players? Would make it easier to follow!

  4. Is it Lars Eller that had a connection with Tony Robbins? Michael Andlauer needs to get Tony Robbins into this organization. He can start with the goalies. C’mon we want to be best in class! GSG 🎉

  5. Déja vu all over again, this reminds me of Boucher's second year, which followed a playoff showing.

  6. You can’t pin that last goal on Spence. To me it’s all on the coaching staff — he should not have been on the ice!

  7. Merilinen sent down after just 1 game? What is going on with this organization? Ullmark's first game was terrible too. Was he put on the trade block or the waiver wire after one game? This team frustrates me so much, it's unbelievable. Ya its Merilinen's fault this team went back to DJ Smith hockey.

  8. The detailed video is unreal! Would love to see this more! I found the format a little clunky with video playback, if that could improve would be perfect. Frequent listener and love the video review/breakdown

  9. My sources indicate that the NHL will allow the Senators to undraft Logan Hensler and take a different player at the 2026 nhl entry draft if the season goes poorly for them. This is good news for their chances to get McKenna.

  10. There’s noticeable immaturity throughout. Line changes. Starting periods. Finishing periods. Not blaming goalies, however, room for improvement. Also, better record than the Oilers and Detroit’s first in the division…. What upside down shit is happening?! 😥😥

  11. I saw this game live at the CTC and that Spence turnover goal then Lee scoring the winner with a minute left still haunts me in my nightmares. I will say this I agree with Yorkie that Spence had a great game last 3 games he's been awesome. On that particular play honestly I would blame the coaching cause what are you doing putting your bottom pair defenseman on the ice with couple minutes left in the game should be your top pair out there to lock things down and make sure you at least get that point going into OT. This game was frustrating on so many levels.

  12. Zetterlund has also taken a penalty in the last 3 games 200ft from his own net just can't hurt you're team more than help when you are getting paid 4mil plus
