Hey there! I just read that piece about the Ottawa Senators' goaltending situation, and I have to say, it's a fascinating topic. The debate around Anton Forsberg's performance really highlights how crucial a solid backup goalie is in the NHL. I mean, with Linus Ullmark as the starter, the Senators have a great asset, but if Forsberg can't step up, it could spell trouble for the team.
It's interesting to see how the narrative has shifted. Initially, it seemed like Forsberg was the main issue, but now it looks like the defense and coaching legacy are playing significant roles too. The Senators have had a rough time with their D-corps, and that can really put a goalie in a tough spot. If the defense isn't clearing the zone and creating turnovers, even the best goalies will struggle.
I think Forsberg has the potential to be a reliable backup, but consistency is key. If he can find that rhythm and the team can tighten up defensively, they might just be able to weather the storm. Plus, with the limited cap space, it makes sense for the Senators to work with what they have for now. It’s all about building that chemistry and confidence in front of him.
What do you think? Do you believe Forsberg can turn it around, or should the Senators be looking for a trade?
