Much like the team, Suzuki has underachieved in overall play
With that said, the team is a mess starting with the clown show behind the bench
It started with the worst run training camp ive ever seen, and we are like 12 games in and our top line center has seen Slaf, Heineman, Anderson, Dach as wingers already. Thats comically stupid

not much goals are coming off from the top 6 beside Caufield
easy to blame Suzuki right now which we know he can do way more than this but
Dach 1 goal
Slaf 1 goal
Newhook 2 goals
all playing in the top 6 for 10 games +
4 goals thats nothing

Zero issues with Suzuki , if you want to win games ice a better team , that's on management. Suzuki is a fine top 6 center

I said that Suzuki looked bored at training camp. Pretty sure he's checked out and I can't blame him.

Suzuki is a gamer, he's clutch as hell in the playoffs (as shown in juniors with Guelph and in his rookie and sophomore seasons with us). I agree with a lot of posters. He seems bored and frustrated. Him and Caufield are alone upfront. We got to give them some help. It's demoralizing.Over all I'm not down on Suzuki but I will call him out when he is particularly bad.
There is something off on that line maybe we keep moving around the wrong pieces.

I think it's natural if Suzuki is getting frustrated with all the losing, but he's trying to keep it professional. It makes the game more like a job than a pleasure.
He's the oldest guy in the core they are trying to build, so he's likely the one most antsy about the continuous losing. It has to affect a guy at some point.

Not at all worried about Nick...but I thought he looked a bit heavy during the golf tournament.
Maybe his conditioning isn't where it should be.
Thick Nick?

Suzuki’s analytics are down as are CC’s. It’s a trend with the whole club. Again, I wouldn’t worry about any particular player. It’s a team problem. The only guy really generating a lot is Hutson.

I think he was not ready for the « C ». And the pressure from the medias and some fans to expect him to master the French language in a snap.

Haven't seen much of that. If suzi is feeling pressure it is probably his belt.
I think he's okay.
He just needs to understand there will be more focus on him as expectations rise and his leadership has to show on the ice.
He can't afford to look sluggish shorter shifts with more intensity please.

Meh, too immature imo. He's no Crosby, that's for sure.
He should be motivated to make Team Canada, but with how he's playing right now, his chances of getting a nod might just have cratered.
Immature is not a word I would use when describing Suzuki.
As far as the Team Canada thing goes his chances were slim to none before the season even started.

An image of maturity is not necessarily maturity.
My personal intuition is Suzuki doesn't have the same face in private than in public.
Okay but by all accounts team mates coaches etc. the opposite is true Suzuki has been vaunted for his maturity.
Are you talking about when he's hanging with his cat?

It's not immaturity, it's personality. Suzuki is water, not fire. He's not the type who's going to energize his teammates before a game to make them work harder or show emotion when things don't work.
