He might have some sort of injury but I'm confident him and Clouston will get his game on the right track. I think he's still playing with the ghost of #15 on the ice. Maybe the team needs a real sniper on his line.
He isn't like Cheechoo, a player who is no longer physically incapable of being a scoring machine. Spezza has all the tools to be a #1 centre on the team and the league if he's healthy.
The way he stood up for the team this summer when Heatley was taking us for a ride, had me thinking we need to keep this guy.
Yeah, the ghost of Heatley's definitely around. I believe in Spezza and I believe in Clouston. I think perhaps Michalek isn't the right fit for Spezza after all, but I think he'll come around.
