Greig was great. Maybe the Sens best forward last night.
Turned the game around by himself. Scored the go-ahead goal. Fought Dach in the end just to prove he isn't afraid of him.
What a player!
So I get ripped on for defending the yakemchuk pick and pumping his tires. For talking positive about the moves that staios has made to build an identity for this team and specifically acquire players with a purpose. Literally just finished a post defending Green. Now I call a spade a spade where the team did not play well and my entire character gets shit on. Do you pay attention what's happening here at all?
f*** this board.
I think everyone agrees that they didn't play well overall.
Thankfully we have a solid goalie who kept them in the game long enough for the PP (remember our PP that was ranked 23rd in the league) to turn the game around with 3 goals on one 5 minute PP. When's the last time they've come through like that?
They won a game they should have lost. This is something they rarely if ever did last season.
It's not the entire puzzle, but you're not going to make the playoffs by only winning when every game is a masterpiece. We had all kinds of guys out for precautionary reasons but the remaining guys got the job done in an emotional atmosphere.
Expecting a completely different looking team this year when there have been very few player changes and the new coach has been in charge for a couple of weeks is pretty naive.
I don't think Travis Green is doing victory laps and I doubt the players are also. Stuff to work on, sure.
