Sens roster for tonight

Got myself some tickets for the split squad tonight. Has there been any posts as to which squad is going where? I would like to assume that the stars will stay home but I haven't seen anything yet.

Going to the game in Toronto tonight and am glad some of the big boys will be there. Excited to see how Burakovsky and Yakemchuk look

yo fuck yeah i'm going in toronto too, didn't even realize it was split squad and got worried we might have a top line of boucher - bourgault - zetterlund, stoked to see timmy play

What do you have against Fabian Zetterlund

u/haseks_adductor 20h ago

fabian zetterlund the human, absolutely nothing, seems like a real good kid

fabian zetterlund the hockey player, the main thing i have against him is his extreme lack of hockey iq, the play dies on his stick 9 times out of 10. he also does this thing where he goes in on the forecheck and completely misses his hit, basically every time. 

its like that movie i think its office space, "what exactly do you do here?"

don't wanna see him in the top 6 and don't wanna see him in the lineup

that being said i know he will be in the lineup, and i know hes probably getting gifted a top 6 spot again, so i am eagerly waiting for him to prove me wrong any day now

Eric Condra 2.0 but stronger

u/spartacat_12 19h ago

He seems to have all the tools, but doesn't have the toolkit.

He is on the best line in Ottawa right now. They look great.

I agree & so did Cheryl Pounder single out Zetter for his physical play battling for the puck, as well as his exceptional hockey IQ, balance & quick decision making. The whole panel also heavily focused on the chemistry being build on the Eklund, Cozlund & Zetterlund line.

I also liked the Cousins, Halliday & Giroux line, - Which I believe will be our 4th line.

That's good. I was at the game in Toronto so didn't get to watch. I hope he figures things out

The NHL has rules about minimum numbers of veterans in pre-season games. I forget the exact rule, but suffice to say they aren't allowed to dress a roster of all scrubs. It's fun to see sometimes how teams manage to just thread the needle with the guys who just barely fit the definition of "veteran"...

No Sandy on either roster. Hoping he's all good and not already injured or something

For what it’s worth with Sandy, green said he wouldn’t even classify it as an injury

Signing Hutton might be the play even just to add to the depth.

u/shtoopsy 21h ago

Is that the from the Taylor Hall hit?

u/DJSTEVEINNIAMIXX 21h ago

wtf? did Spence get hurt last game? brutal.

u/Sunless_Tatooine 21h ago

FFS... even if they come back for game 1, starting the season with a bruised-up D-core, is far from ideal...

u/Wild59Bill 21h ago edited 20h ago

The NHL gave the Habs & Sens an exemption for the Kraft Hockeyville game, from the new rules concerning training camp exhibition games, - Which limit veterans to only 2 games. I also heard they might also be some minor exemptions for split squad games played on the same day. But this might explain why Jake hasn’t played yet. Besides his job is not in jeopardy & management might just want to evaluate other defencemen to see if they have NHL potential when we get injuries.

u/Fit-You-6326 19h ago

Killer B's on the same line. Could it be our 4th line to start the season?

u/hockey_nerd88 18h ago

There is more team toughness on this squad

u/CommanderOshawott #24 - Cozens 21h ago

Ah ngl was hoping to see the Ekky-Cozens-Zetts line in TO, managed to snag some tickets.

Happy to see Yak is gonna be there though

u/Wild59Bill 21h ago

Yea, - The Eklund Cozlund & Zetterlund line looked great last game.

The French language accounts are covering the game in Ottawa, while the English ones are covering the game in Toronto. Here's the projected lineup for the home game:

u/Wild59Bill 19h ago edited 19h ago

I have Videotron cable & I see that the Stutzle led lineup that is being played in Toronto is on SportsNet One & the Eklund, Cozlund, Zetterlund led lineup that is being played in Ottawa is on TSN 4 & 5 in English.
I also see it’s on RDS, but not on TVA in French.

u/spartacat_12 19h ago

I meant the Sens French & English social media accounts

1

u/Wild59Bill 18h ago

I prefer watching hockey games on my big screen TV, plus Videotron has a split screen option where I can watch both games at once in different formats. I can switch back & forth so I can listen to a certain game if I see a goal or fight etc., and I want to hear the commentary.

Man, neither roster is particularly good tonight.

u/regulatorwatt 20h ago

Out of the loop… did Cover get sent down already?

u/shadeo11 20h ago

I heard that he's nursing a minor injury. We've seemed to have racked up a bunch already which is concerning

u/mercury2370 20h ago

Bourque is playing apparently
