Player Discussion Nick Suzuki - Game Winning Goals Edition

He's on one of those crazy tears again. At just the right time too. And I think a lot of it has to do with him shooting the puck more. With his shot I don't understand why he doesn't shoot it all the time. It's a wicked, wicked shot.

 

[The Last Red]

8th leading scoring among centers. Not too shabby. But no, he’s not a no. 1 center . . .

 

[The Great Weal]

Imagine thinking the biggest need is an upgrade on Suzuki as the 1C

Who wouldn’t want McDavid, McKinnon or Barkov?

Not sure what this has to do with my post. Is upgrading on Suzuki the biggest need? As in this is what’s holding us back the most?

Shooting more is definitely a factor but I think having 2 weeks off for the 4 Nations to rest his body probably helped him.

Good call. It absolutely helped him. He looked like he was playing hurt.

There is no jinxing Nick.

Somewhere in this thread way back before the season even started I said with Suzuki going 66 pts then improving to 77 points he's obviously getting 88 points this season. Lane Hutson can help make that happen.

I believe they’re joking - that those players are the only ones who would actually be an upgrade.

I mean, I guess upgrading on Suzuki would mean a powerhouse top 6. So in that sense, why not, let's call it a need, though I'm not sure any team outside of Edmonton wouldn't have that "need".

Like x 100, well played!

SUZUKI LEADS THE NHL POINTS! SINCE RETURNING FROM THE 4 NATIONS BREAK!

WITH 13 PTS!

Suzuki reminds me so much Datsyuk, highly skilled player but hallejuah two-way guy.

Suzuki is highly skilled, but he have two-way first mentality.

If he is not a #1 center then this league has almost no #1 centers.

My thoughts exactly.

compare, as in - swap the jerseys and you might not notice the difference right away?

easy answer: Pavel Datsyuk

the economical way he moves around the ice. The sneaky approach to stealing pucks. The high-end skill to slow things down when he has the puck. The poise and calmness.

The crazy thing is that his best is yet to come...
