The good thing is (to me anyways) is that I don't see much chemistry between Kadri and JVR yet. This is taking some time, and can be expected because first and foremost they are learning to play a new system that are requires of them to do some things defensively (even in the Ozone) that they weren't doing before.
The good thing is, they still CAN get some chemistry going and if they can, we could see some good production then. I see much much more chemistry in the passing the Ozone and banking pucks off the boards (almost blindly), cycling blindly to a teammate, etc. by Bozie/Matts/Paps; I don't see anything like that from Kadri and JVR - they're playing fine but it all seems so structured and there's no creativity going on JUST YET. If they can start connecting more on passes in the Ozone and just putting it to a place where the player is supposed to be and believing your teammate will be there - they'll start to get some chemistry. It's like they still don't really trust each other. Sure, Kadri, sometimes shoots when you think, hmmmm, he could of held the puck a second longer (he is sometimes in a perfect position to hold the puck, like on a partial 2 on 1), but, rather than holding on and letting his teammate get into a better position - he fires it on net. It doesn't look like a bad choice because he gets it on net, but, I just wonder if he could of worked the play a little bit more with his teammate. Same for JVR at times, but, less so with JVR, he seems to be trying to get passes and get in a rhythym with Kadri but, it's seem so structured and as if they have no creativity between them. This again, could improve as they get more comfortable in what they need to be doing defensively with respect to the new system..
If they start to figure out each others tendencies a bit more - maybe we'll see some fireworks then.
I'm just seeing far more chemistry between Bozak and his linemates; maybe they have more suitable styles, but Kadri/JVR are pros and they need to figure it out soon.
All this to say, they are still generating chances and Kadri has a ton of shots, it's just that it could still be much much better and it just still seems like no 'chemistry' yet to me - jmo.
