Player Discussion Tim Stützle - (C) - Part VI

[JD1]

I watch Stuetzle and the dZone giveaways frustrate me. Offensively, it feels like he's got another level. Almost like things aren't fully clicking

Then you look at the numbers. 20 points in 14 games. 117 point pace. All time franchise record is 105.

Exact same thought.

I think he needs to simplify in the D zone and do a lot more give and go but damn...9 points in the last 3 games.

Keep doing what you are doing!

That's the next phase imo. He's still very young in the league, he'll keep getting stronger and continue to learn how much he can do and not do.

Then, probably less giveaways and more chances.

i think Stu’s struggles in the d zone will get better when the coaches change. The whole team looks unable to play in the d zone or break the puck out and stu touches the puck a lot so is going to have more bad looks in DJ’s “system”

Hopefully that goal gives him the confidence boost to really start clicking.

It’s insane we’re saying this given the production but he seems to clearly have another gear.

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

I think Timmy's having to adapt to facing more attention, because of getting 90 points last season.
We had to expect more (sometimes costly) turnovers, but I think he's working his way through that.

MacKinnon started to turn on the Jets in his 22 y/o season. Stutzle is not even 22, I think people forget that very quickly (anti-Sens fans purposedly forget) but yes he's still a bit raw even though he has the 11 best PPG in the NHL right now.

But it isn't just that, since turning 21 y/o, only McDavid, MacKinnon, Draisaitl, J. Hughes, Pastrnak, Makar, M.Tkachuk, Pettersson, Panarin and Kucherov have a better PPG than him, 11th best since becoming a man...

He makes the game harder than it has to be. Simplify

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Going back to last year the pattern with this team is

2-3 Stutzle points we win. 1 Stutzle point we lose.

When I watch him skate, he gives off Hossa vibes with those short powerful strides, hunched over, to generate separation.

But he plays the game like Spezza.

It's a fun combination.

Stu might be in the discussion for the greatest and most talented Senator of all time one day.

But with all due respect to him, he falls down too much for me to ever be compared to Hossa in terms of style. Hossa was defined by his strength on his skates and ability to be bullish on the puck in hard areas of the ice to work in. And I just don't see that as being one of Tim's main strengths, or how he plays.

They are both supreme athletic specimens in a similar frame. But gifted with different tools and have different specialties as players. Stu is faster and more dynamic with the puck, while Hossa was stronger and more cerebral. Imo.

Spozza?

You forgot the umlaut, but I'll accept it.

Idk how to type an umlaut

How about

Spuetzle?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Idk how to type an umlaut

When you type the letter “u”, keep your finger on the letter longer and options pop up above the letter.

Fair enough, it's alt 252 I think, but much easier on mobile,

Not seeing where Hossa is incorporated in this one, but you get credit for using the ue to represent ü,

Some of us old timers still use mouse and keyboard...

Never. Tablet or phone.

Lol, oh ok. Well, at least on android it's as described by goldenjet.

Alt+129

Timmy's now tied (with 1 other) for 10th in P/GP.
It's really 9th because one player above him has only played 1 game.

One thing he needs to adopt from hossa is taking that puck through the crease
