"Blow the Zone" Horvat Strikes Back

[PuckMunchkin]

Go back and read the threads. I think it was @4Twenty who made the case of why it should be there at least. I disagreed at the time... but it doesn't matter if that is what the side was using.

@tantalum is right about it.

Yes.

Me and him agree.

You are being 100% unreasonable here because it doesnt fit your argument.

No way to really positively 'spin-it'. The Islanders have to be more than mildly disappointed in Horvat down the stretch and into the playoffs.

He really didn't come close to replicating the offense he provided for the Canucks. But I suppose this shouldn't be surprising. The Canucks were 'all-offense' but a defensive train-wreck. So it was inevitable that Horvat's career year in Vancouver would die on the vine in Long Island.

Still, the Islanders have to praying that Horvat bounces back next season. Otherwise that $8.5m contract will be as 'cap-killer'.

He looked just fine with a healthy Barzal.

Yes he needed to be better.

Both can be true.
