Everytime Greig has a good game in the bottom six, Green puts him back in the top 6 the next game.

I understand the lack of options but Greig is consistently better on the third or fourth line.

lol the sens love the charge the blue line and ditch it to the dude chilling at the boards.
It seems to work a high percentage of the time. The problem I see is that the team cannot get to the front of the net for a high probability of scoring shot.

Zuccarello has the puck. It’s bouncing. Chabot is behind him and pinto is approaching him. Inexplicably neither makes any contact with him and he turns and plays an easy outlet.

The one goal was a screened point shot and you can live with that as your backup so far. This team needs to score at even strength and needs one of the big names to do it.

Stutzle is flying and back checking well but some of his passing decisions aren't the greatest.

Lol. We don’t know how to score unless we get PP’s. Our 3rd line cant bail us out every game.
Its so tough playing with goalies you don't trust. Not only are saveable shots going in but now you are playing behind. Its not surprise that the sens just flat out play better when their goalie is making saves that should be saveable.

Really though, Levi and Soogard should both be wearing ullmark masks to fool the team into being themselves
Leevi is doing fine and the team doesn’t look that different than the last two weeks. The only difference is that the bottom six isn’t finishing anymore. Top 6 looks just as as effective (or ineffective) as they did before the break.

Stop over passing period. Shoot the puck, find a rebound

I think we need more speed on the top 2 lines.

Some old defenceman says the rebound is the best pass in hockey!

I think part of the problem is the pre-scout report on this team is we don't have shooters.

Norris and Tkachuk have heavy shots but they rarely snipe a corner. Batherson and Stutzle have fast shots but they get blocked or go wide with them so much trying to pick the corner. You can essentially disrespect our top 6 players at even strength as long as they don't get an odd man rush.

We need one of them to turn into a guy who can get a shot through with more reliability and be a threat doing it.
