The fact that the barn is still rocking This team does not deserve these fans

It’s not about wanting power plays or whatever, but these refs genuinely need to be investigated Or like, otherwise dealt with

This building has crowd pops going in the Canes got called for an icing in the first period I never wanna hear “it’ll take all of us” again It’ll take YOU. SCORE A GOAL. CARE. DO SOMETHING. WE HAVE HELD UP OUR END OF THE BARGAIN

Can’t believe we spent the entire second half of the season going “man if Ullmark can just do alright, Sens are gonna be a wagon in the playoffs” and then he’s just literally the only player not sucking ass Is there a thing where only the goalies or the skaters can be good at once or something

Lose the series, I don’t care Send Taylor Hall home in a bucket

Mike Amadio just got smacked in the face with a stick but tbh why would I even want a Sens power play anyway

Cam Crotty you have one responsibility and his name is Taylor Hall

That was the worst 5 on 3 I’ve ever seen in my entire life

I swear to god if they don’t score

Well Can’t blame the penalty kill NOW SCORE A GOAL

I’ve got tickets for Thursday and I just can’t imagine myself being excited for this hockey team right now. I just have zero faith that they can do it. They’re just gonna disappoint again because that is all that they ever give us

Immediately turning off the game because this team just refuses to give any reason to want to watch them Do something to make me believe in you!!! Because right now I simply don’t!!

Is their goal to make us all sell our tickets or something because they are just giving me absolutely zero reason to watch this team play

WE KILL OURSELVES

WE GO AGAIN

That’s a fucking insanely weak call lmao Refs have decided who they’re cheering for this series.

Ah

My emotional state is so irrational when it comes to the Sens, my entire opinion on if the Sens will win the cup or if they’ll be swept out of the first round depends entirely on who scores the first goal tonight

Obviously you can’t just massively overwork Ullmark if you want a lengthy playoff run, but it feels like a positive for him to get a good feel for the puck right now He’s at his worst when he’s cold

Well That wasn’t an overly successful power play Carolina’s PK is absolutely relentless lmao. This has the makings of such a fun series of hockey games if things go as they could

I genuinely keep thinking that the Canes are the Sens with those jerseys

Hmm… Lars Eller goal is my prediction rn Don’t know why. Just think it

Yeah that seems about right lmao

I feel like Blake Montgomery might become one of those prospects with a meteoric rise I hope he gets lots of time to develop in the AHL, but I feel like this screams “call-up to fill top-6 injury gaps in January and never sent back down”

Tbh I think Carolina fans are just quite sensitive about Slavin lmao Like yeah he’s historically been the best defensive dman in the game, and people don’t like to credit that when it comes to Norris votes etc But I think it makes them assume that nobody else knows how to play defence

It’s funny how quickly fans start hating fans of their playoff opponent In related news, people are being very stupid and obtuse about Sanderson vs Slavin “discussions”

Cozens and Pinto fighting about the other one taking the goal is so fun

I’m not gonna be punching the air too much one way or another tonight But I could not care less about if this helps them with their pick or whatever You will never find me not wanting to beat the leafs

Oh this is just phenomenal. God that hits. No longer the Toronto maple leafs. The Toronto ChatGPT’s now

It’s really not exactly a winner’s mentality, but two other big reasons I’m excited about the Canes matchup are: 1. a very very small number of away fans at our home games 2. While I obviously hope and think the Sens can win, they’re definitely the underdogs. Which I just prefer

Really excited about the Canes matchup It’s obviously gonna be a super tough series and the Sens won’t be favourites (inevitable as the wild card team) But just with two teams that play similar styles, and the Canes just being a good team It’s just gonna be fun to watch

Btw the “retire 87 and 8” conversation is absurd Tbh I don’t think 99 would even be retired if it wasn’t cool that the actual number was 99 Just let guys make their own decisions if they want to take on the job pressure of wearing numbers like 87. There’s a reason barely anyone has used 66

At the end of the day, the seeding doesn’t matter. If you want to win it all, they simply need to be able to beat any other team

There we go lmao, good for them A thank you for beating the wings last night 🫡

I don’t actually want the Sens to lose, despite generally preferring to go through the Metro But like… surely New Jersey has to score here, right Like they gotta

I know this game doesn’t mean anything for New Jersey but losing during 3 on 3 to the Sens without Stützle, Tkachuk, Sanderson, or Chabot, and with Reimer in net, would just be so sad LARS ELLER IS ON THE ICE IN OVERTIME BRO

The Sens with their entire top lines out in a completely meaningless game doing far better against the devils than the red wings did with their season on the line is so funny Not that the devils are much of a barometer, it’s just funny

It’s actually so insane because this very silly post has made me realize that the entire last most-of-a-decade of pain for Sens fans, like all of that long and drawn out collapse and full-scale rebuild… All happened between the last time the red wings made the playoffs

Reality for Detroit is that since they’ve only drafted third liners for a while now, they’ll keep slowly getting better along the margins and probably force a WC2 playoff entry sooner rather than later But like… Larkin just keeps proving he can’t be a 1C on a team with any real aspirations

I’ve been very cautious to not jinx the Sens making it into playoffs, but we all knew it was over for Detroit when Larkin started talking like this lmao

What’s funny is that last year there felt like infinitely more pressure to make playoffs in the first place than this year But this time around, definitely seems like there’s more pressure and expectations to actually make some noise now that we’re back

Go Sens Go

I don’t think I understand Islanders fans Watching the Schaefer/Matinpalo/Maclean clip and there’s so many “yeah that’s what happens when you take cheap shots at Schaefer” and I think we must just be watching different clips because what???

I’d really love the Devils to get this win and give the Sens some room to breathe here for these last couple games With how many guys are nursing half-injuries, letting em get a bit of extra rest would be pretty huge Nothing for granted

I keep hearing that if Detroit loses tonight the Sens clinch. I assume that’s then true for the rest of their games? Am I correct in thinking that the only way the Sens don’t make playoffs is if they lose their last 2 and Detroit wins out all of their last 3?

Ullmark shutout feels so damn good right now

I am not taking anything for granted and there’s still a world in which this playoff berth is chokeable, but regardless I know I could easily look silly if the Sens lose any matchups to metro teams, but I’d really, really, really rather try to go through the metro than the Atlantic

Chabot being back so early worries me, ngl Don’t want him to rush back and reinjure himself

It’s even just stuff like Pinto’s ENG at the end. Making the stick play, fighting off contact, winning his battles, when up 3 goals with minutes to go This team just wants it, man I hope they’re able to see it through

This was a game the Sens just had to win. Not in a literal “must win” sense, but that it’s an incredibly crucial game against a team icing like 2/3 of their actual roster And they just… did!!! Which is just not a thing I’m used to the Sens doing
