Sayng he's the key the PP and then posting the card saying he's 20th percentile in PP WAR is pretty funny
Sanderson Zub pairing is the best in the NHL in xGA/60 , but they get less zone starts than their peers, and have harder matchups. The anchor of his previous D partners hurt his early season stats tremendously
His defensive numbers are insane considering the amount of defensive zone starts
Great video!
Sanderson skates so nice. He looks as good with Stu as he does with Zub
Jake the snake Sanderson 🫡
And next year we get to add Yakemchuk to our D corp.
GSG
Thank you, you're too kind❤
SS hockey? You couldn’t pick a better name?
Sens fan here Sanderson is without a doubt an elite defender, love watching him play.
Sanderson is an absolute beast but Tim Stüzle was the best 2020 acquisition
GMs and especially fans tend to undervalue defensive defencemen. Sanderson's shutdown ability compared to other high scoring "star defencemen" will be so valuable come the playoffs. When you have a player like Sanderson you have an unicorn.
Finally a Jake Sanderson video. I agree that the sens really did get the 1st and 2nd best players in that draft. Greig is starting to get his game too. Sandy also played with Jacob Bernard-Docker at NODAK. It's nuts how good Jakes skating is. I'm loving him more every game. Go Sens Go
And everyone blasted the sens for not taking Drysdale
As a SENS fan, thank you so much for this video. He's been my favorite player this season by far, and the kid is still so young. The vibes right now are SO GOOD. GO SENS GOOOO
Serious question. Has anyone ever seen Jake Sanderson get tired on the ice? Dude seems to have bottomless stamina.
Remember all the people clowning his contract when it was signed? ‘Why reward someone who hasn’t proven or earned it?’
Looks AMAZING now
We have Leevi and Jake to thank.
What a steal at 8 mil for 8 years.
Oh I hope so. Sooner ottawa wins the cup, the better. Even if they lose in the first round, learn fast from it and do the necessary things to help them win the SC.
This guy knows puck!
Who?
He struggled a bit at the start of the season but he’s flying now
Zub is really underrated too. Zero flair to his game but he's key to Sandy's success. Sandy is as good a skater and breakout artist as Karlsson was.
As a sens Fan i would Like to say Jake ist the 2nd best in the 2020 Tim stützle as a Potential 150 Points Player in His Prime and the 2nd best Center in the League right now (behind Leon Draisaitl) is by far the best Player in the 2020 draft
Now imagine a top pair of Sanderson/Yakemchuk
cant even sniff dahlins jock-strap
The American defense with Sanderson and Hutson will be quite scary in future Olympics
He's only 22, and the sens have been kinda doodoo before this year. As the team inproves and he improves he's going to reeeaaally break out
Top 20 with top 3 upside lol
30pts in last 32 gp, 2nd only to Makar.
i see sanderson love. I sub.
Buddy, not hating, but you might wanna crack open a history book before going by SS Hockey
In any 2020 redraft, Stu and Sandy are going 1 and 2. With some teams taking Sandy at 1.
No disrespect to Byfield and Raymond who are both monsters right now. And I’d prolly have Laffy at 5th. I think he still has another level he’ll get to
Also worth noting: He’s durable as fuck. Only missing a few games each season.
It's difficult to find the words to describe the sense of confidence I feel when Sanderson has the puck on his stick. In the D zone, you know he's going to use his strong skating or vision to navigate the puck away from danger. In the O-zone, you know he's going to make a smart pass to set up a scoring chance, or work the blue line to improve his own odds to shoot. And the best part is, he seems to do all of the above while very seldomly making a mistake. He is a true superstar Dman in the making.
Another tidbit of info to give you more insight into the beast that is Jake Sanderson, apparently he caught wind of some of the negativity surrounding him in his draft year. He spent that summer working like an absolute dog and apparently left his teammates stunned when they saw him when he showed up for his season at North Dakota that year. This guy is the definition of dialled.
If he played in Toronto or Vancouver he’d be talked about like he’s a top 10 defensemen just look how Morgan Reilly was talked about there
habs fan here. Sanderson is great! GHG!!!
Sanderson will be another Karlsson soon
I knew it from his draft day.I was so pleased when Ottawa drafted Sanderson.He is a stud of a defencemen.
Why…is he partying like his Grandad Derek?
