I think a majority of people here who watch Kane play would agree that, despite his flaws on the ice, he gives a 100% effort every night, throws his body around, skates hard, etc. It is my opinion that a bias could lead someone to think his effort is inconsistent. Could be any kind of bias ;)
-
I was calling someone out who said Kane doesn't give a consistent effort. I think that is patently incorrect and a sign of bias. All other points are valid (effectiveness in d zone, play-making abilities [or lack thereof]), but to Wildcard- we don't have to play 80s style hockey for it to be a factor that Kane is a physical presence that makes him harder to play against.
-
I know, it was an overstatement. But effort is something Kane brings - maybe even a little too much - to which you astutely pointed out, after the rib incident, he seemed to play a little more carefully. If you have to point to a winger's effort in the d-zone to illustrate their overall "lack of effort," you're grasping at straws
-
because it is the only thing anyone seems to be able to criticize.
-
A winger in the defensive zone? Do wingers now have more responsibility in the defensive zone if their last name is Kane?
-
The way some people talk about Kane here is pretty obnoxious. Tit-for-tat
-
The scoring-goals trick is a pretty good trick. I'll take it. Effort is always 100%. Start watching hockey games. "all that other off ice stuff" - clear evidence of bias. What happened in the last year, off ice? Nothing. Get over it, he's fine. No reports of anyone in the locker room having problems with him; only some fans.

Exactly what I was expecting, essentially. Let's see if it worked.

Yeah, it's called making $ and being famous Good for him, though :thumbsup: -
Buffalo could be 1st place in AFC East after Sunday? :P (no offense to Miami fans... stay safe, thoughts and prayers your way)

Definitely tempers all of the "start Peterman" talk (which I am embarrassed to admit I was almost buying into a little)

I don't; it's more probable that I overestimate Zemgus's ceiling... -

I really like the idea of Sam centering Evander, even though I think the analytics say Eichel centering Evander was the most productive for both. I'd be curious to see the former, though. -
Not as a starter, and with a new style offense and new coach. I agree he's not going to morph into a different QB, but maybe a coaching focus on a different offense can bring something else out of him? Shooting in the dark for optimism somewhere...
-
With good slot receivers and good coaching, is it possible Tyrod can be coached to and still learn to be a better over-the-middle passer?

Training camp questions #6: who is ready to be a regular?
erickompositör72 replied to dudacek's topic in The Aud Club
Wasn't referring to who he'd be playing with, but being on the 3rd line. I agree with the concept, but the 3rd line doesn't get nearly as much TOI, and that's why I think he wouldn't like it. But then again, if he's on the power play and kills penalties, maybe it'd even out. -

Does anyone think there is any chance of these being our 4 centers? Eichel ROR Samson Zemgus ?? I'd love to see that -

I don't think we put our leading goal scorer on the 3rd line -
Hopefully he'll have more success than Karlos
