Playoffs?
But I thought Bozak was a strong 2-way player who was good in his own end?
He hasn't shown it up to this point. To many plays of his like that, were he shows poor effort in making the defensive play.

I was being sarcastic.
He's an awful 2-way player, and his hideous in his own zone, but somehow there's this perception that he's very good in his own end that I just don't understand.
Kudos to you for picking up on something that he does regularly - lazy and passive when the puck is in the Leafs' end
Even if you want to pretend that PPG is the best way to compare these two, that's awfully sly to include the one season that Bozak (on the strength of 58 games played and an unsustainably high shooting percentage) bested JVR.
Using the last two seasons is "sly"? :roll eyes:
PPG seems like a reasonable way to compare the two. Bozak's intangibles and defensive play are up for debate, but JVR's are undeniably negligable.
Bozak is a centre - he (understandably) has more defensive requirements than JVR.
"Intangibles" might as well be a synonym for "magic" as far as I'm concerned...
Too bad the team doesn't have anyone better.
Leafs are stuck with Bozak playing the most minutes, taking the most face-offs, and carrying Kessel complete lack of game.
Well, perhaps this draft they'll get some talent up the middle so they can join the contenders in the league.
What a disaster this team is in the middle, soft, dumb, and journeyman up the middle in that order.
He wasn't 29% on the dot and on his ass all game.
I think that was obvious for a while. The lover affair with Bozak really needs to end. The top line should not be playing with each other at all.Another bad game. Had almost 2 costly turnovers in OT
He is starting to lose the battle as the best C on this team by a land slide
Kadri is the much much much better C. Not even close
5v5 Corsi for/against:
Kadri: 16/11 (59%)
Kessel: 17/17 (50%)
Bozak: 7/18 (28%)
JVR: 8/20 (29%)
Can someone point out on the official NHL website where Corsi is located?
Wait, are you saying its not Kessel dragging down Bozak?
But Bozak makes Kessel a decent player.
Sounds like watching the game puts things into perspective.
Bozak had a very good game last night, wasn't perfect the the perfect man doesn't play hockey.
Bozak also bested the 2nd. best face-off man in hockey last night, 54% against Bergeron.
Best center on the night, +1, 3 hits, 3 blocks, and 48% on the dot.
