Erik Karlsson feels that unrealistic expectations are being placed on him. "You guys talked about me like I'm some (effing) god or something," he said. "It's not easy to live up to that. I had a great season (2011-12), and I'm going to have to live with that. It's something I try not to focus on, try not to compare myself to. I just want this team to win more games . . . even if I don't win the Norris Trophy." The Senators have posted a 4-5-2 record and Karlsson is trying to get the team back on the rails first. He has displayed flashes of his Norris Trophy form and has 10 points in 11 games this season, so fantasy owners probably haven't been complaining too much when he does have an off night.
