User blog:PaddyKen32/Drake Batherson and His Cultural Impact on 'Bath Time'

 "Bath Time" –  words raising no less than calm or ire and often no in-between for those who hear them. Children, upon hearing those two words, might find themselves kicking and screaming–refusing to be dragged to the few inches of lukewarm liquid agony they find themselves presented with. Adults, however, might find the thought of a little privacy, the cocooning warmth and bubbles of a well-drawn bath and the ambiance of some candles (scented or otherwise) to be exactly what they need after a week of sitting in horror wondering why Matt Murray continues to wear a blank set of pads. But what if 'Bath Time' could take on a new meaning in a new Ottawa Senators era of Sickos and Stü's?

In an age with such simple access to any image, gif, or video out on the internet and impressive innovation from a frankly pioneering Sens community, anything feels possible. With the newly adopted "Sens Sicko" comic seeing an explosive rise to prominence on Sens Twitter, it might be time to look into finding media for individual players.

First in line on this search for the ideal media selection is Drake Batherson. But before diving into examples, some thought needs to be put into the significance of 'Bath Time' as a metaphor.

The concept of a bath, as alluded to before, has many levels of appreciation throughout life. 'Bath Time' seemingly ages like a fine wine, growing in value as one becomes older and understands the importance of a good bath. Much the same, as Drake Batherson was posting impressive numbers with the AHL B-Sens in 2018/19 and 19/20 (including 5 goals in the all-star tournament), Sens fans were growing restless. Frustrated with the team's lack of such a player, "Bath Time" chants would only be confusing and annoying to hear. Thus, this is marked as the time of pre-enlightenment childhood bath time. In this stage, 'Bath Time' has no meaning except to taunt freedom. A pre-Drake period of darkness never to be looked upon again. In this period of Sens history without hope, the most representation of 'Bath Time' in Sens culture would be one welcoming death.

[Still under construction. Please be patient, I don't know how this works :)]
