It's sad when you can't even give him credit when he plays well. He had a good game, looked engaged on both sides of the ice, got rewarded with a nice open cage after ringing the iron earlier in the game. If he keeps playing the way he did last night he'll win back a lot of fans.
Rangers are good, one of, if not the best team in the Eastern Conference this year (at this point). The Senators will need their "A game" undoubtedly.
Sorry if I make you sad! But Batherson's good games are like most everyone else on the team's normal games. Maybe I will give him more credit when he strings together a number of solid games in a row.
Batherson could be the worst defensive player on the team. Usually a complete lack of effort combined with a lackadaisical attitude. Convince me otherwise.
What does that have to do with his game last night? You've already shown you're incapable of an unbiased opinion of the guy, so why would I try to convince you of anything at this point?
I just said that his good game last night had probably more to do with him playing with the two best all round forwards on the team. How is that unbiased?
You've made it pretty clear you're incapable of giving him any credit, if he did something good, it's because of someone else, and even if it isn't, it's no better than any other player on the teams normal game. The fact that even when called out on it you can't see it for what it is just exemplifies how deep down the rabbit hole you are.
Batherson will get chances offensively whether he is playing well or not, he is that skilled. When I judge him I prefer to look at his defensive effort, physicality and location of his turnovers. Batherson was very good against Seattle.
