Player Discussion Nick Suzuki Part 11
- Thread starter montreal
- Start date
Our zone entries in general and particularly on the PP are so ill conceived it's mind boggling.
It shouldn't have taken more than a handful of games after Slaf got bumped to figure this out.
The success ratio is so evident when we operate on that right side.
Even worse is the fail rate for ringed pucks ending up on that left side.

Suzuki missed that pass by about 18 inches. Makes you wonder if he’s playing hurt. Time to shut him down for the remainder!

There's :
Anaheim 9Terry 60 points pace)
Buffalo (Tage at .82, was injured and had a bad year, kinda lame to NOT call him a 70 points player when he had 71, 98 and now 67 pace.)
Colombus (Werenski 64 points pace)
San Jose (Granlund 68 points pace)
Seattle (McCann 65 points pace)
Washington (Ovi 68 points pace)
He's right that it's pretty sad, even though I like Nick and have been really happy with his development. There's 6 teams that don't have a 70 points player, this is the 80s again.

He's not wrong, especially with scoring up. That being said, I don't think any team has a 75 point player with the second leading scorer having 59 which is what makes it impressive.

Arizona is very close with 73/60 and Bedard is pacing for 77 with Kurashev pacing for 59 (Even worse after with Foligno being 3rd with 37...)
Konecny is close too with a pace of 73 and Tippett pacing for 58.
Suzi is top 5 for sure in "No offensive support.", probably third being Beds and Sid.

PJ Stock is probably the worst analyst in the game. He purposely trolls Montreal. I don’t listen to him and don’t take him seriously.

If you are going to fact check that claim, do it properly lol.. It was actually accurate and very easy to validate. Here are the 12 teams without a 70 points player and their respective top points producer (with the teams that you omitted in bold):
Anaheim - Vatrano 55 points
Buffalo - Tuch 57 points
Calgary - Kadri 66 points
Chicago - Bedard 59 points
Colombus - Goudreau 58 points
Detroit - Raymond 63 points
Philadelphia - Konecny 65 points
San Jose - Grandlund 54 points
Seattle - McCann 60 points
Vegas - Marchessault 67 points
Washington - Strome 64 points
Winnipeg - Scheifele 66 points

Its stupid to use raw production when players haven't played the same number of games. Scheifele is 4 points away and has played 7 less games than Nick.
Eichel is on a 90 pts pace, etc.

Yeah same with when he got 30 goals and people making a fuss about it. Silly and sad.
But we know it’s a prelude for things to come. And Suzuki is looking elite of late.
PJ Stock is a moron and has always been a moron.
A quick glance at our Power Play would clue him in to a number of facts.
We have 2 power play goals more than those world beaters the San Jose Sharks they actually have a better %.
If we had the additional 10 goals that put us mid pack Suzuki would probably have 5 more points.
Believe it or not there are only 6 teams who have had more PP opportunities.
It's not hard to see why the PP is the bane of my existence.

The other night RDS had a panel comprised of Stephane Waite PJ Stock and Gaston Therrien.
Needless to say I turned it off.

I haven't heard of pj for a long time but i feel like he used to do the same kind of thing back when he worked for cbc. He was one of those anti Habs pro bruins guys.
No, PJ. We are not excited that Suzuki has 70 points. We are excited because of how slafkovsky is trending, and how that line has looked as a unit since he was put with Suzuki and caufield. We are excited for what the future might hold for the unit.... nobody is excited for the present.
The thing is, I think he knows all this, but he purposely chooses to be antagonistic.
What an ass.

Waite isn't too bad, I always like his goalie opinionsThe other night RDS had a panel comprised of Stephane Waite PJ Stock and Gaston Therrien.
Needless to say I turned it off.
I don't watch any of those shows and the only reason I'm tuned in to RDS is for post game coverage.
I will however watch the occasional episode that gets posted here.
My single mindedness when it comes to hockey is strictly my own it may wear on some but I can't help that.

I like some commentators more than others. But a very select few are so bad I will change the channel. PJ Stock is definitely in that group. He’s flat out terrible.

Cowan: Canadiens' Suzuki has played key role in Slafkovsky's emergence
Habs' captain went to head coach Martin St. Louis back in November and asked that No. 1 overall pick at 2022 NHL Draft be put on his line.
