Here's the comparison for hockey-impaired. Matheson has grossly outperformed Brodie this year.

Matheson has 7G/14A/21P and is on pace for 11G and 34P
Brodie has 3G/9A/12P and is on pace for 21P, the same amount points Matheson has already hit.

Now on to the underly stats where Matheson basically embarrasses Brodie. ENJOY!

Don't mind the red line. That's just where the cursor landed. Wasn't trying to emphasize anything there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>but you go on points and nothing else, brodie plays the tougher minutes, against the superior opponents, plays PK, and is on the ice protecting a lead down 6on5, matheson is on the third pair and plays no special teams hes way better defensively, its not close</div></div>

Is it my fault Sully wont play him on the PP? We played Philly and Matheson was on the PP for one shift and scored a goal. Also you do realize Brodie is averaging 20:56 TOI and Matheson in averaging 18:15. What else is funny is that Matheson plays 3rd pair and Brodie plays 1st pair. Brodie also has a 53.2 oZS% meaning he has been on the ice for more offensive plays than Matheson has with a 50.7 oZS% (Might be because he plays on the first pair but idk). Shall I add to this or are we gonna end the arguement there? Cause we both know were not gonna change each other's minds

Thread: Preparing for a Playoff Run Next Year
Since December 2nd, Ottawa is 16th OA in P%. It's not great yet but that's pretty close to playoffs worthy. Actually, only 7 Eastern teams have had a better P% since.

They need to find a way to not sabotage themselves early

That being said, no idea if they can make the playoffs next season, need to see what their owner/management does first

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Commonsense27</b></div><div>They need a decent goalie to make the playoffs.</div></div>

Since March 15th :

Matt Murray : 0.926 SV%
Anders Forsberg : 0.913 SV%
Filip Gustavsson : 0.908 SV%

Note that Ottawa was horrible defensively early this season (before December 2nd so about the first 20 games). Covid didn't help as they were the first team to be hit hard with the Isles.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sr_Advisor_Hockey_Ops</b></div><div>. OK how about this revised proposal? Ottawa trades 30-year old Nikita Zaitsev (retain $1m. so 2 years left at $3.5m) + Ottawa 2022 2nd Rd pick + Max Guenette for 31-year old David Savard (3 years $3.5m). Montreal keeps Byron.</div></div>

Why would the Sens give up POSITIVE assets (Guenette + 2nd) for a D-man that is as bad as Zaitsev but signed 1 more year?


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>why because they have a few more points this year.
OTT has a lot more talent yet to hit the ice, and it's much higher end talent than what will hit the ice for DET.
OTT is much further along in their rebuild than DET.
Hell DET can't even keep talent. Looks like Bertuzzi is half foot out the door from everything I've seen.</div></div>

People have no idea about Ottawa since covid and injuries has prevented a lot of young guys to "get more reps" but Norris and Batherson have had time to show what they can do. Tkachuk and Chabot are well known already. Formenton is currently showing himself. Stutzle is just starting. Sanderson, Greig and Pinto are coming

Ottawa had the best U-25 talent group in the NHL at the start of the season and it will show in the near future. They also have the worst management and ownership though so I'm never 100% confident that they're not going to screw things up (like Dorion basically did the last 2 off-seasons)

Thread: welll
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I won't say JR didn't have a plan. They were just bad plans. Then everything was compounded by him being a gambler crack addict that couldn't not make bad moves to fix the bad plan to start.

It will be interesting to see what Ron does. The plan can't be to build through the draft. That I do know. They simply don't have time for it. But one thing is certain. As long as they don't rope themselves into any long term deals. They can totally rebuild this team in the next 2 years. There is a huge amount of cap coming off the books next season, and the season after that you got 3 forwards signed and 3 defensemen, one of which they probably move. So IF they are going to rebuild the team, in two years it could look completely different.</div></div>

this might be an unpopular opinion but i think they go after getzlaf. he's a physical forward who can play a carter type role. he and burke have some history and getz was linked to pit before the TD. his underlying numbers aren't too bad either. if he comes at 2M or under they should do it
