Player Discussion Drake Batherson (RW) - Part II

[Good in Osgoode]

He needs to be on the right with Brady and Tim.

Brady needs to be the slowest winger on his line for it to be effective. Giroux’s pace makes Brady have to stretch out the ice more, and keeps him away from more stationary battle areas.

Batherson can forecheck and keep it moving in the neutral zone. Will unlock Brady as a result.

It's a tough one because there is some nice chemistry with Norris & Bath but I do like Bath with Tim & Brady.
Tim, Brady & Bath is our best possible first line combination but leaves the second line a little thin with Norris + Giroux + Greig/Gregor/Perron.

I think I once bought a gift for my wife from Tim, Brady & Bath.

I think our toughest line to play against last year was Tkachuk - Pinto - Batherson towards the end of the season.

I'd put those 3 together.

Batherson is better when he's relied on to be a playmaker on a line. That's his biggest strenght. Partly why he was so good with Tkachuk and Norris.

He looked so good in the L.A. He was holding onto the puck for so long his dangles had much confidence it becomes part of the teams identity. the crazier the game got the better he got and he put the team on his back when they needed a goal and you love having players like that.

Would love to see Batherson and Norris get cooking and carry the team for a little win streak here.

Powerplay is heat!

Drake the Snake!

 

[Dionysus]

Would love a backup goalie who can play the puck. Tough for the team to go from Ullmark who is smooth with the puck, to Forsberg, who is erratic, doesn't cover it, passes to dmen are poor.

Edit: wrong thread! Love the Drake.

f*** you shortie Gregor off Pinto wooohoo Go Sens Go!

Love his game this year. Need this to keep up.

Consistency is his biggest challenge. When he wants to play, he's one of the best players on the ice.
