You can see the second and 3rd efforts and backchecking he was lazy last year compared to this year. A great thing.
Jake still had 11 points in 11 games last year to start the season....and 14 points in his 1st 13 games.
Hell he had 38 points in his 1st 41 games last year too.
Doing it all season needs to happen.
OMG I haven't thought about this band or this video in years. Not a huge fan and this video was just so weird. I prefer Weird Al's version (both the video and the song).The Sharks listen to too much RHCP.
Voracek's problem was never intensity...
What the **** am I reading?

Yet another wildly incorrect "observation".
Yep, typical lazy "analysis". If someone isn't playing well then clearly it's an effort issue.It's a ridiculous assertion that looks a lot like people trying to find a simple cause to a complicated issue. Jake didn't change up his play and start checking harder all of a sudden. He always played like that. His down in production follows suit with the other 4 players on the ice and the team as a whole.
I think you are right. Two things that really have a big impact are injuries and confidence. Even the most talented and determined players can struggle because of certain injuries that rob them of what helped make them NHLers and that in turn can affect their confidence and it can snowball. The best coaches have a good feel for how to get certain players going again and minimize the downturn.It's a ridiculous assertion that looks a lot like people trying to find a simple cause to a complicated issue.

Voracek is not playing much differently at all than he did last season. He's just producing now and his line is clicking.
I can't see how anyone could say he wasn't playing hard last season. Effort has never been an issue with Jake
If this is in response to me, yes he did. My point was that for Jake, his best shooter the last few years, is our best passer....Giroux.G showed his wrist shot was pretty good against the Leafs.
