coryberg Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Great news. If we are in the playoff race at the deadline we can grab him for a 4th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 11 minutes ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: Yes I am 100% biased as I have lived in Ottawa since 2004 and have seen their fans through multiple eras and have seen their delusion first hand. They also claim they'll out place us this year but I'm currently remembering JT Miller walking around their entire team 100 feet in front of my eyes and embarrassing them. Before that it was Luke Schenn, before that, Brandon Sutter. Their defense sucks. Their defense is their biggest weakness -- maybe in net too. But for the first time in a while, both the Canucks and Sens have a decent chance at making the playoffs. Should make the games more fun for you.

wallstreetamigo Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 This is an under the radar great move by Ottawa. Adding that kind of motor to their bottom 6 will really help them. Good value for Motte too. Glad he went to a team I like. Ottawa has a few more holes to fill but finally are on the right track. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outplacing them is one of those side achievements that matter to me, but I'll be happy just making the playoffs honestly. A win in OT and MTL while im there will be the icing on the cake!

Coconuts Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I guess we didn't really need him? Great add for Ottawa though, could be a dark horse out east. #SummerofPierre Edited September 14, 2022 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Motte should compliment their bottom 6 forwards nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Wish him the best....he's one of those guys you just continue to cheer for long after he's left your team. He's a high energy, hard working guy who'll contribute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would please me more to have them finish ahead of Toronto! not sure thats going to happen, but taking an extra game or two from them to keep TO out of the playoffs would be just as sweet.

Which is fine, he took a shot at more dough and it didn't work out. Maybe time for a new agent tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why it took this long to sign him 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Good to see. Motte is a legitimate NHL player and a contract for this season has been too long in coming for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming though that we "nickeled and dimed" him when we don't even know the actual scenario that took place behind closed doors. I get wanting him here, but why can't we just wish him the best instead of making crap up? Edited September 14, 2022 by The Lock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVasili Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Wow this made my day! Will definitely increase my desire to go to Sens games. Love this player and if he can't play for my Canucks, happy to see him on the Sens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Really good value as he brings a lot of great intagibles... sucks that we are stuck with Pearson and Dickinson for a while... let's hope Lazar is close to what Motte did for us!!
