i dont ever post on these boards, and i dont claim to be some hockey expert so cut me some slack. Im a Caps fan that lives in central new york, and my girlfriend this past year lived in binhamton and worked at the arena. i went to see a good 25 bingo sens games, and jason spezza is amazing. it seemed like every game he was clearly head and shoulders above anyone else on the ice. sure he could imporve his defense and he doesnt like to get dirty, and sometimes he could have hustled a bit more but he was still the man out there. Great hands, quick thinking and vision, the guy has vision. he made passes i couldnt believe on a regular basis, he would be in just the right spot to finish a play all the time. he made defenders look foolish, fooolish on any given night, and his league leading point totals dont even show the number of times that he set up the perfect play that one of his teamates couldnt finish. whats funny is a lot of people in binghamton dont like spezza or at least dont give him a lot of respect, cause its kind of a blue collar town and hes not tough, and he doesnt play a tough hard working brand of hockey, but i always told them, even while the rest of that team was really good, without him they would have been noticably worse. he puts up points, he makes the players around him better, and i would trade ALMOST anyone the caps have or combination of players to get him.
