Sens Writer: Senators Beat Lightning In Atlantic Division Showdown

Nice write-up. Thanks for doing this.

As for Green .... I don't believe it is up to him to get the players up and focused on Utah. It is up to Green and the coaching staff to draw up the game plan, set the lines, and continue to try to instill their team structures. It is up to the players indiviadually and as a group to find the energy and focus within themselves and play with this intensity on a game to game level.

This is where I think the Sens have failed. Too many times, too many players have strolled through a game with a lack of consistency in their individual play. This needs to change for the teams overall direction to change.

There’s a lot of sky is falling with the fans of this team. They’re 3-2 with a -1 overall. Is that optimal? No, but they’re on the bubble which is exactly where they were predicted to be.

The defensive structure needs to improve and they aren’t deep at center, but getting back your brand new starting goalie will help. Hopefully at ten games in, they’ll be at least 6-4. Find ways to win.
