    One thing I have noticed since Stu has gotten this "reputation" is the refs are very hesitent to make any calls if Timmy is the one getting slashed/hooked/cross checked. In a year where I have seen some of the softest penaltys called, the refs turn back the clock 10 years if its Stu on the receiving end. To me thats the only "tangible" thing thats effected our team from the diving allegations.

    @martinedwards2004 3 дня назад +8

    I’ve watched Timmy closely since he entered the league. He is NOT a diver. He doesn’t go down easily in order to draw penalties. He does, however, play at the limit of his control. If he’s not hit then you get these dazzling plays. But if he’s is hit it doesn’t take much for him to go down. He is learning quickly and has dramatically improved his stability. In a couple of years no one will be talking about this. And Gallagher is a whiny idiot.

    • @SSHockey

  • @Mythkos
    @Mythkos 4 дня назад +4

    I think the reputation as a diver really stemmed from Timmy finding his legs, in the first couple of seasons he looked like he had Bambi legs out there at times and would easily fall when trying to be creative to make a play.
    I think he is a lot stronger now and has much better control of his gap and position with other players - I don't see this issue anymore this year. His edgework is elite now and he doesn't appear to fall very often.
    Timmy is a one man force out there this year, he is the best player on the team and one of the upper elite in the league. He has the ability to drive play on his own, and drag his linemates with him rather than being someone that is more one dimensional or complimentary. He also benefits a bit from matchups when the Brady line acts as the threat, he gets to play against weaker opponents.

    • @SSHockey
      @SSHockey  3 дня назад

      100%. As he’s gotten stronger as a player, he’s become much stronger on his feet. And he’s absolutely the engine of this teams offence, and takes the hardest matchups. The Norris Tkachuk Batherson line definitely benefits because of it!

    As a Sens fan... Every comment about him were right... Stutzle is a smart player, he knows exactly how to get calls and it was very obvious sometimes... Being young, he was on the smaller side and was getting knocked down fairly easily... He was also constantly complaining to refs when not getting his calls... I myself was getting a bit tired of it even if he was right when complaining. Not the best look to your teammates... With that being said, Stutzle is a completely different player this year. Leveled up every aspect of his game, and on most night is a step above every other player on the ice skill wise... There's also no more shenanigans. I would assume that it was something discussed in his year end meeting with the staff

    • @SSHockey

  • @guldore6559
    @guldore6559 3 дня назад +4

    For the crying Habs fans who scream diver. Stutzle is incredibly fast on his feet. He just moves at a pace that make any teams defenders piss their jocks. You either have to take the body or take out the skates which seems to be what the Habs like to do because they can’t keep up. But he’s built some serious muscle over the last couple of years and his game has matured. Those 2 factors really complement his speed like prime Crosby and now we’re seeing a superstar play his game. Yes, he was looking for calls a lot when he first got in the league but could you blame him when he’s going down the ice like an F1 car and some dirty hab takes out his feet?

    • @SSHockey

    Stutzle falls down a lot. His skating is elite, and he's always pushing, on the edge. And that mean he falls down a lot. Sometimes even when no one is around, and I wouldn't jump to label him as a diver.
    Also his zone entry have been pretty so-so, especially on the powerplay. Giroux and bathersom have been much more reliable, they always make the smart simple play, and sometimes Timmy tries to do too much and get caught.
    But yes, he is Tmmy Superstar. This guy is a cornerstone of the Senators franchise for years to come, and will only get better with time

    • @SSHockey
      @SSHockey  3 дня назад

      Absolutely bang on about his skating. On the power play he does sometimes struggle to gain the line, but I find a lot of the time even just attracting defensive attention helps open up opportunities for Batherson and Giroux.
      But you’re right about that. Batherson in particular is excellent at gaining the blue line!

    He is not a diver if you watch him play every game he NEVER DIVES. Typical goof Gallagher talking shit after Stutz literally got KNEED. Stutz is smaller than most dudes so he gets thrown around but hes strong for his size. He is nowhere near being a DIVER. HOW ABOUT MATTHEW TKACHUK? #1 Diver in the league

    I noticed when you said "standing up for himself" you showed the clip him hitting Hoglander dangerously from behind a few feet from the boards. The difference is he got up and stood up for himself attacking Stutzle in response instead of laying on the ice hoping the ref makes a call which Stutzle does.

      The hit on Hoglander wasn’t a good hit by Stützle. But the point I was trying to make more so is that he was answering the bell and willing to fight. Don’t get me wrong, he was 100% in the wrong on that play, and Hoglander did the right thing by fighting back after the hit.

      It wasn’t a good hit but stop being soft man. It’s hockey

    1. You should learn how to pronounce "Stützle". 2. He is good, but not in any way a superstar.

      I believe that’s the correct pronunciation haha, I’ve watched a lot of Sens games since he’s come into the league. Do you pronounce it like Stoot-zel?

      Keep hating. Crosby was known as a diver early in his career, then he just stopped looking for calls. Timmy has done something similar.

    We Sens fans have learned to tune out the stupid haters, and have learned most of the hate comes from loser players that don't know they suck, such as Brandon Gallagher.
