this is why I appreciate Bozak (I've never had an issue with him overall btw).
When he is not in the line up, it is very obvious what he brings to the club. He's not Sidney Crosby, or another elite centre, but he's a very serviceable one that has a good toolbox that we depend on. When he wasn't in the last game in the playoffs, it was obvious that he wasn't there.
so many people are point watching and making that equal up "not good." (or very wrapped up on the kessel BFF thing).
Kessel fits in our team makeup very well
I hate this place sometimes... hate it hate it hate it
I dunno what else Bozak has to do to win some of you guys over. The guy is one of our most consistent players and is an integral part of this winning team. Sheesh.
Good timing on the thread, Bozak needs some love.
21 min a night, short handed goal, faceoffs and pk work and good shootout skills. I like my swiss army knife player tyvm.
- Richards plays with Jeff Carter who scored 26 goals last year, why doesn't he have more points?
- Show me proof that his lien spends more time in the D-zone, I'm calling BS on that.
- Why would we want him driving the game forward when Kessel is on his line? Does Patrick Sharp drive his line's play forward when playing with Kane? You would hope not...
- Again, I just proved to you that in the last 2 years he has offensively produced at a higher clip than a boanfide "star" top-6 C, how can you still tell me he is inadequate offensively? Keep in mind this is still only his 4th year in the league and his offensive numbers have improved every season.
- He is also our best shootout player, and hate it or love it, the shootout is an important aspect of the game where points are up for grabs.
FIRST OMG you did not just imply that Kane=Bozak? if you did
Richards is an overrated player. Second, Ricahrds plays with Carter, Bozo the clown plays with Kessel and JVR, and played with Kessel-Lupul
You want to draw a direct comparison between Ricahrd and bozak then take the year when Bozak-Kessel-Kulemin played together. I know not enough sample size but for consistency that has to be it. In statistical language its called indexing.
Yes shoot out is an important aspect of the game where points are up for grabs BUT if we have a capable center playing with Kessel and JVR then we might not even have to go to the shoot out most of the time. More so now that we have 2 capable goalies and a defensive system that does not suck.
Bozak is a decent 3rd line C not a top 6 player anywhere on any other team.
I honestly hate Tyler Bozak.
3rd line C, as we've been saying for YEARS.

Not a great start to season for Bozie, that is fair comment.
