Player Discussion Nick Suzuki Part 11

I watch him on On Jase, he comes across ok

I don't watch any of those shows and the only reason I'm tuned in to RDS is for post game coverage.
I will however watch the occasional episode that gets posted here.
My single mindedness when it comes to hockey is strictly my own it may wear on some but I can't help that.

I have never beena fan of this guy

I like some commentators more than others. But a very select few are so bad I will change the channel. PJ Stock is definitely in that group. He’s flat out terrible.

Cowan: Canadiens' Suzuki has played key role in Slafkovsky's emergence

Habs' captain went to head coach Martin St. Louis back in November and asked that No. 1 overall pick at 2022 NHL Draft be put on his line.

Nick Suzuki is so getting 88 points next season.

 

[Canadienna]

What a player. That shot block at the very end of OT. Never missing a shift let alone a game since he came into the league.

That pass to Slaf tonight on Caufield's goal was nasty.

He probably doesn't get enough love for his play because he's on a bad team, but he is a straight up killer.

1C?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

1C?

Yeah, he's proved it this year.

I was skeptical and honestly didn't think he could step up the way he did. Still felt that way about midseason when he was pacing for his usual sixty something points. But in the second half he destroyed it. Again, some puck luck but his play was just better. It was like something clicked after the All-star game.

This year you saw a lot of media stories with 'Is Suzuki a number one?' and I don't think you'll see that again.

The one thing I wish he'd do is shoot more. I know you've freaked out when I've suggested that we could move him to the wing if we got Cellebrini but honestly, he'd be great there with that shot. I watched a couple of his games with Guelph and he did really well on the wing. Should we be fortunate enough to win the lottery, I hope they consider it because I think he'd be better on the wing for us than Dach would.

I guess we'll see how the draft goes.

Don't look now, he's 27th in forward scoring (31st with d-men) on a bottom 5 team. If I were to count the forwards I consider centres, I see 13 ahead of him in scoring.

Suzuki is a top-30 forward and top-15 centre purely based on offensive numbers. Just you wait until he has a full team behind him and he and his wingers are done developing. He calls Slaf a potential top-5 winger, Suzuki easily has top-10 centre written all over him with the potential for top-5.

Just wait till the PP is top-10 w Hutson next year…

And tied for 27th overall in goals, despite playmaking being his strongest suit. Big Dick Nick is going to be a legend.

I was down on him early in the year and the season before. I will never doubt Suzuki again, he's an outstanding player who does the jersey and the C proud.

Does anyone know why Suzy turned down the offer to play with Canada at the worlds.....injury, getting married, kid????

He was always a solid player but he definitely went next level in the 2nd half.

Probably because he's nursing minor injuries and / or is knackered and needs to spend the off season in some hi-tech rejuvenation tank before carrying on his iron man streak.

 

[the valiant effort]

I’m disappointed he’s not going, but he is simply laser focused on having the best season of his life next year.

All around fatigue and wanting to prioritize next season I would guess. He might be a bit banged up.

I'm disappointed for Suzuki who obviously would like to go and make a case for the Olympics - but I'm glad from a Habs perspective because he needs the rest more than anyone.

 

[The Great Weal]

Well that's a pretty good reason not to go to the World Championships, congrats to the captain!
