As a Sens fan, I was totally prepared for a loss last night. Everything was stacked against us – 2nd on a back to back, kissing 4 defencemen, 2 defencemen making their NHL debuts, etc…
Detroit just didn't look ready and they seemed crushed after that disallowed goal.
My question for the squad. Why isn’t Q getting any consideration for the Jack Adams coach of the year award? Ducks are already beating their last seasons output. Leading the division and making a strong push to the playoffs.
Please someone buy Frank a new camera
I did the math on sens goaltending the other day, if ullmark had given them a .905 season, and merilainen gave them .885, the sens would be first in the league in goals against, and second only to colorado in goal differential. If everything else stayed the same, theyd at very least be pushing for first in the division, and at best theyd be pushing colorado for the presidents trophy
