  1. I don't think putting in Yak agaisnt a division rival os a good idea. Those points are too important right now. If you're going to give him an NHL game, I would do it next week in Calgary. Let him make his debut in the same city where he played his junior hockey!

  2. I never thought it was cool to talk into your glove during the cdn anthem. I know if I did that at the game as a spectator, I would get a tap on the shoulder.

  3. I'd laugh if Detroit spent the whole season in a playoff spot to slide out in the last few games because of Ottawa (i'd laugh because Debrincat screwed us).

    Pilzy mention shot against per a game here a breakdown of the last 7 games:
    Feb 5 – 16 shots against Flyers
    Feb 3 – 18 shots again Canes
    Feb 2 – 16 shots against Pens
    Jan 31 – 27 shots against Devils
    Jan – 28 18 shots against Avs
    Jan 25 – 20 shots against Knights
    Jan 24 -19 shot against Canes

    *That's 20 shots or less in 6 out of 7 games and a average of just 19.14 shots against in these 7 games (and against some elite teams)

  4. I don’t believe rumours – however, USA players and fans should concentrate on their win and not thrashing Canada for their loss. After the last 18 months hearing about the 51st state, it’s normal for us to be a bit more sensitive.

    That said, looking forward to seeing these gold medalist Sens players bringing those good vibes to our team for the remainder of the season!

  5. Brady attending state of union tonight, that is the last straw, bone head move, time to trade him, go get somebody that has a brain and conscience

  6. i feel Sens are following the exact same path as the habs, therefore I do have hope long term…..Sens basically has Price 2.0, so sens are doomed until contract is paid off. The captain probably wants to play in USA, no point losing him for nothing later, so he may bring us a top 5 draft pick. The team doesnt seem to improve with him in the line up anyways. Sens then continue to suck and tank , like the habs did, and scoop up 1st overalls. It will take years but I feel theres hope. The real test is keeping Jake and Tim, but being able to go all out offence (cause wins doesnt matter anymore) may excite someone like Tim, he could be a 100+ pt man during the tank years, like he deserves to be. Sens as is are beyond screwed right now folks, dont be delusional, let the young guns play!!!

  7. I don’t think I would be surprised if pinto was traded. Perhaps for weegar. We didn’t win the contract negotiation the way we wanted. If we had him for 7 years it might be different. Call me crazy. But if we’re going to make a trade, with the assets we have. Contract wise, 7.5m for a 3rd liner, it could make sense potentially…. Calgary is going to want something. We have Halliday who can play center and Greig. Curious to hear what you guys think

  8. These Canadian cry babies are embarrassing, but not unsurprising.
    USA won, yeah they goalied us, get over it. Congratulate them and move on, geez.

  9. Great show guys. I can’t wait to watch the development of Yak. He has all the Tools. With 5 Olympians returning they will energized everyone. The Team is tight and Brady is a Leader indeed.

  10. Its ok boys, couple degenerate leaf fans trying to throw shade at our captain, the vast majority is behind him and know hes an absolute stud on and off the ice. Comments so dumb i cant help but think theyre bots haha. Great show, GSG

  11. This comment thread is fucking pathetic. People losing their minds over some Olympic rivalry.

    Almost as bad as when people were telling Linus to “suck it up” and get back to work. You know who you are.

    I’ve been applauded by Sens fans this season. Absolutely disgusting, ZERO loyalty behaviour. That’s why I don’t go to the post casts or comment as much as I used to.

    Our fanbase is worse than Leafs or Habs fans lately. 👎 Fucking sad.

  12. They say Brady and Sanderson expected to be in line up. That sounds like there will be an excuse coming and they won’t be there. It should be they will be in the line up if they were certain.

  13. For me, this has nothing to do with the US vs Can sports rivalry. Im happy to have had the opportunity to watch the terrific matchup. The personal choice of Brady posing for pictures with a guy who is actively covering up investigations into child rapists is the issue. Cool if thats what he likes, but it shouldnt be cool with the fanbase.
