Jason Spezza

Who said that? Sounds something Babs would say after he scratched him on the season opener v.s. sens.

Jason Spezza is my life...

Alright, I'm officially a fan

 

[LeafGrief]

Thrilled for Spezza. He's very quietly been a solid player for us. Now he is loudly a solid player for us.

 

[TMLAM34]

Given the fact that Spezza has accepted and adjusted to a 4th line player on top of taking league minimum to play here really tells us a lot about his character. Class act guy, glad he’s a Maple Leaf until he chooses to hang up the skates.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Awesome!

"He needs to figure out if he really wants to be here."

I'd forgotten about the one. Makes me wonder how many other things I'd forgotten about and remember just how bad Babcock was in some ways. I still remember how badly I was hoping he'd be fired and how happy I was when it happened.

Spezza and Simmonds, it feels like this is becoming a team in the true sense of the word.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

He's quickly becoming one of my favourite Leafs. It would be one thing for him to take league minimum to come home if he had nothing left in the tank but the way he's playing combined with helping the team financially because he wants to win plus the team-first selfless attitude he's shown makes this one amazing dude.

 

[Brobust]

If the leafs weren't such a tire fire organization before Matthews, I think Spezza would have come home a lot earlier.

 

[BlueBaron]

I've been pretty big on Spezza since he said he wanted to play here. I would never have predicted a hat trick or this level of scoring but I'm happy for him.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Play him on the wing , once in awhile on the top 2 lines.

 

[RogerR]

I cry thinking he makes 700K last 2 years and Marleau got 6.25 per for 3 years. And the day Marleau signed his deal he was older than Spezza is now.

 

[Menzinger]

8 points in 10 games and would rather retire than not be a Leaf.

Best bang for your buck contract on the team and maybe the league

Couldnt agree more. Even if the guy isnt scoring hat tricks, hes a great leader and face off man. That in itself is worth what we are paying him. I personally feel this guy is better for the Leafs and their core more so then Marleau ever was at a small fraction of the price. Great pickup by Dubas.

 

[crump]

The man can still fly. For one night at least, he turned back the clock. That shot and those moves..vintage. Will be interesting to see if Green moves Elder away from that matchup next game.

 

[banks]

Vintage.

That was vintage Jason Spezza. I just love seeing him line up for a faceoff, or skate it into the offensive zone. It 's a great feeling having that level of clout and experience on the roster. I can't really explain it, but I just like seeing his name and number on our sweater.

He's had possibly one of the most underrated careers of any active player.

 

[Twine Tickler]

The guy plays on the 4th line making the league minimum. He's giving us a lot of bang for our buck when we can't afford other players because the young guys squeezed every dime they could have from this team.

bingo

 

[TkachukMyAho]

Love seeing this guy put up a hattie. As a down and out Sens fan, that was some vintage Spezza play. We were very fortunate to have him through his prime and happy to see he's still contributing. Still hate you guys though.

 

[horner]

I would leave him where he is .
That could be the 4 the line we are looking for .

 

[Mickey Marner]

He was feeling it tonight. Rotating guys in and out of that forth line seems to be keeping them hungry.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Still can't get over that vintage hattie last night. 3 goals, three different ways, all beauties

For all my fellow Bowen fans out there:



Ralph mentioned Malholtra's work with the PP, something I had not thought about. It does look better.

PP finally looks like the Bruins PP. Whirling, switching positions non stop, relentless puck movement.....its a joy to watch. I've been waiting for this for a long time.
