Is Anders Lee this good?

[Vukotal Recall]

If you look at his career stats, not just this year, dude (mostly) produces. Why was he only a sixth-round pick, and is he going to keep it up do you think, Islanders fans? He has a really low profile considering his goal totals.

Well apparently the Isles suck and this is all just a fake hot streak and their lineup has no depth and everyone only scores because of John Tavares.

Does that expedite the responses for this thread?

He was a 6th round pick due to no one knew if he was going to choose hockey or football as he was a great high school quarterback.

Ders has always been productive so this doesn't surprise me. He's gonna keep producing. Dude's a flat out beast in front of the net.

 

[WTFMAN99]

He does play with Tavares and players do produce with him.

I've been a fan though. You can not move this guy if he's parked in front of the net.

Actually that is why he was passed over in 2008. I have no clue why he feel so much in 2009. Not saying he should have been a top 10 pick or even first rounder but you think somebody would have taken a chance in like the 3rd or 4th round given his skillset(the NHL in general had a huge hard on for big guys as well in 2009)

As for the question is he that good, the answer is yes

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

In addition to the consistent goal totals, his presence in the crease alone creates a lot of great offensive chances on both the PP and 5v5.

This season he has had some great primary assists which I never really noticed out of him in years prior. He has stepped up the passing and vision facet of his game too (not dismissing that the chemistry with Tavares and Bailey helps a lot in that area).

I think the thing that works about that line is the defense needs to watch both Tavares and Lee which basically opens up the ice for Bailey and gives him an extra second to find the perfect play(either pass to Tavares or Lee or back to the Defense that has an open lane)

quality post man. as you cna see, all the responses directly after you are just as you predicted. you should go buy lottery tickets beacuse youre a genius

 

[McDNicks17]

He has a 13.14 ONSH% at 5v5. (That would be 1st in the league last season by a significant margin, for context)

Like most players on the Islanders, his offense is going to slow down unless they somehow remain ridiculously lucky for the rest of the season.

Understand how you guys are so excited about your current group, but there has been a thread about probably 8 Isle players in the last 2 weeks alone...we know how good they look, but this early over-the-top excitement is what make fans of other teams sour on fan bases and thus teams such as the NYI.

The Rangers, with more playoff games played then any other team in the league in the past decade have won crap..it just doesn't matter until it really counts.

As my team is hated amongst the CHI, PIT, and LAK of the world WITHOUT a CUP, I know what I am talking about...

Tavares is in god mode right now. Hard to see it slowing down. Guys produce when they are with Tavares;PAP, Moulson, Okposo etc.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

All I care about is that he keeps improving. That's astounding. He's 27 years old. According to HF a player that age should be off at the glue factory or in severe decline. He'll probably top his career year in goals even if his shooting % falls to its regular 12-17%.

Has simply become a better player all-around without sacrificing what made him successful. He is impressive.

Except this thread wasn't created by an Isles fan...

 

[CraigsList]

Seems like he'll be a Simmonds 2.0. A 30-30 kind of player who will probably get underpaid on his next contract.

Ders

Please tell me nobody actually calls him that.

You can't spell islANDERS without ANDERS

Thank you sir.

he's being carried by Justin Bailey

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Thank you sir.

You're welcome!

 

[stepdad gaary]

You're welcome!

can you say it again for the folks who just arrived?

No one calls Anders Lee "Ders". That is strictly reserved for Anders Holmvik.

There's no Justin Bailey on the Isles but keep trying to show your intellect . . .

Almost all of these threads are not made by Isles fans. Some are, but a lot aren't.

My hunch is that it's fantasy owners trying to get a pulse. Or people that just look at stats and then want to get a reaction to a player if it's luck or not.

If you notice, Isles fans regulars almost never start threads on the main board.
