the man lied to the media wtf

Not to mention the ticket prices are like bus fare for a guy on his salary.

I just hope it isn’t a hot streak that he follows up with a cold rest of the year. I think it’s fine if the ebbs and flows of the year have him playing like this at times and playing more on the perimeter at times, and the production changes that come with those. He’s not being paid to play like this all the time. Hopefully once he cools off, Boeser heats up and so forth.

Keeping himself engaged all 82 is something that he needs to figure out in his seven year deal. These hot and cold spells is not going to cut it playing on the second line with Petey. It's time to shake off that streaky player label at 28.

Dude takes home $48k CAD every game.

Yeah, it’s almost four concert tickets’ worth.

A cold streak for the rest of the year? That seems irrational.

He's going to go through an ebb, as you said. I hope people give him some grace while he's there. Eventually, he will play himself out of it (career trend).

I think it's time to trade him again.

Jesus guys f***ing chill out a bit.

He's streaky but he's also off to the best start of his career.

Most guys are at least a bit streaky. If he avoids massive cold streaks he should his 30 pretty easily. He's been at that pace before.

my viewing of him in boston was limited but my guess here is when a few start to go in for him, he starts playing to his strengths. that’s certainly what we saw here this year. once they started going in, he became more diligent about going to the net. for much of the year my biggest complaint about him was why he was always playing around the boards instead of parking himself in the crease.

so my hunch: the SH% correlates because when he’s not locked in he’s not going to the places where he can make high percentage plays.

although on the “feel” side, timing is probably also a variable in terms of timing around openings in the defence to find openings and getting to loose pucks in front or getting his stick on shots.

i mean my hope is i’m wrong and he doesn’t start to drift back to early season debrusk. but based on his career to date and what boston fans have told us, i’m just not ready to believe this is who he always is yet.

Isn't that typical?

I mean guys are streaky because when they get hot for a while their play slips a bit and then they go cold until they buckle down and start doing the right things again and get going.

vs the superstars who put up massive totals do the right things very consistently (insane perfectionists like Crosby/MacK or assembled in a lab like McDavid).

I feel like I'm just ripping of Draymond Green talking about Celebrini.

On pace for 40 goals

On pace for 40 goals

Was awesome tonight. He's got a sneaky quick release and some underrated hands. He made a nice little move about 30 seconds into the third where he took a pass off the boards and put it behind his own back before starting out that kinda caught me off guard.
