In retrospect that loss to the Kings doesn't even seem so bad. After all, we had our chances and the Kings have been heating up lately.
GM Hockey
There's no player that is more aggravating to watch than Heatley. Even when he has a decent game (by his standards) like last night, he still waits for everyone else to do everything. Even when the puck is closest to him, he waits for a second to see if someone else will get it... He is the laziest player I've ever seen.Cronenbergfan wrote:I'd hate to admit it, but yeah, Heatley is still a passenger who seems more content to count bills than play the game to the level the fans KNOW he can.
Sad, truly sad.

It'll change. Someone will whip his into shape.

I would guarantee that he starts rounding into form. I think we underestimate how much the old system smothered the `superstars`.

You forgot to mention Foligno's improved play as well. He's been a hard worker most of the season but now his work seems to be better focused and is paying off.
And for balance, the three games prior:davetherave wrote:504Heater wrote: I would guarantee that he starts rounding into form. I think we underestimate how much the old system smothered the `superstars`.
To address Mr 504Heater's assertions, here are the statistics for the 'superstars' since Mr Clouston's arrival.
Mr Spezza: 3 games, 1 goal, 1 assist.
Mr Heatley: 3 games, 1 assist.
I'm having flashbacks...504Heater wrote:Trust me. Give it time. New system, be positionally responsible, but also, go for creative plays and offensive zone time. They're so used to being used incorrectly that it'll actually take time for them to get back into the offensive habits (which is depressingly funny).
