Let's f***ing go ers

 

[Rodzilla]

Man its been very rough for Giroux this year

 

[Burrowsaurus]

batherson also has like zero shame. He can be the cause of like 9 goals against and the next time he gets The puck he’s going toe drag into a back hand saucer pass to nobody.

I hate bad goals, playing well after giving one up though will always be a positive not a negative

After 1 sure. Not after several

 

[Back in Black]

GO SENS GO

It's almost always been this way. It's been over 2 decades since the Senators have had a 'deep' team and that roster was constructed under an entirely different economic landscape.

Batherson is not a bad player. He's a limited player with some substantial flaws.

When the substantial flaws are something fully in your control (effort, paying attention to details in your own end, making bonehead decisions over and over), I think that's pretty indicting. I'd be less critical if he just didn't have foot speed or something.

Maybe I shouldn't of said "bad". Let me rephrase. If he's a player you're counting on, you're not ever going to win.

If someone asked me, "what player best represents why the Senators have been a non-playoff team for so long", I'd point to Batherson.

He's a player who'll put up good numbers on a team that wants a high draft pick. Hopefully we can trade him to Nashville or Pittsburgh, or somewhere like that.

 

[Sensrule]

Tkachuk on the limp. I wonder if he'll come out for the second.

 

[Icelevel]

If that doesn’t give everyone a boost then fire them into space.

 

[Micklebot]

I didn't realize the game started early.

Were they weak goals ?

One was a rebound that he didn't control well, failed GI challenge. The other was a breakdown 4v4

 

[PlayOn]

I like Perron with Norris and Batherson. He brings a dimension they need.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Can't get excited about Brady fights as long as this team continues to suck.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

LOL whatever man

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Chabot will never change. Holds onto the puck until the lanes are closed then let's a shot off that gets blocked or deflected wide

 

[Alex1234]

Brady so strong

 

[Yak]

If that don't get the Ottawa Senators team going, they are in a dam coma!

 

[Emerica]

Giroux is old, man

 

[SensFactor]

Lets go Chucky!!!

 

[Tundraman]

Man Brady is one tough s..

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Don't really care about Brady fighting when it means he'll be in the box for five minutes while down by two.

 

[SensFactor]

Giroux and Batherson might both be gone this offseason

 

[Rodzilla]

And then MTL fans will tell you he’s scared of their useless plug lmao

His primary problem is low IQ/no feel for playing the game the right way. You can't fix that, all you can do is limit it with a stifling system which is pretty much what Travis Green has done this year.

You can live with it or you can try to move him for a different type of player, but you aren't going to change him. Not now.

 

[Alex1234]

I like Perron with Norris and Batherson. He brings a dimension they need.

A sedative effect?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Batherson should be shopped next week.

 

[Sensrule]

Ullmark standing tall.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Giroux is old, man

Staios might give him a raise!
