Igor is good but Rangers tracking extremely well too. This game is easily tied otherwise if not us leading. Norris and Batherson need to be more productive. That line cant just be Giroux.

Grieg is not working out on the top line
Agreed... I love the player and his playing style, but very high skill is needed on a top line or PP. I just don't see that in him (`yet). Perhaps he can improve on that in time, with coaching and experience, but I think he is a often way too slow to react. To me it appears he thinks he has far more time than he really does, and his lanes close. This is a common issue with young D (or Hamonic) , players that blow plays because they delay, bobble a pass, over-handle the puck, dust it off, whatever... Reaction time is key at the NHL level.

Norris has been struggling this game. Seems like every touch of the puck he’s hesitating or the puck is bobbling on him.

Gets the puck in the slot for a slapper and passes it to no one.

Batherson much of the same.

These guys are overthinking it right now they need to execute.

I disagree. Norris isn't struggling. The team as a whole needs to simplify a little bit though.

Buddy they got 12 shots on net that period, and Shesterkin made a few doozies.

He hasnt look like that guy tonight. 0 shots on goal

They're playing the Rangers.

I’ve already mentioned they had an amazing period. I think Norris and Batherson have not been executing tonight and they haven’t.

Still an amazing game.

Not much to complain about except our killer instinct. Like some prime scoring areas and we someone don’t get the best shot off.
Tough to score when you have a 3-on-1 and Batherson fires it into a defenceman! He and Norris are NOT having a good game tonight. Tons of Sens scoring chances (and posts - 2) so something should hopefully come of it. NY has not really threatened since the 1st, so here's hoping. It's not like NY is dominating at all, other that their incredible goalie. Not an issue with Ullmark though... he's been solid stopping everything but that badly screened Sour-Dough shot!
