I’m not talking about a couple good passes. I’m talking about the ability drive his line. Carry the play for prolonged periods. Creating something out of nothing. Use his frame to protect the puck and extend plays. Create his own shot.
He’s been invisible for a lot of this series despite going up against the likes of Copp? Eakins? Lowry? Roslovic? He’s the clear cut best center in this series and I couldn’t tell you what scoring chances he’s had so far or if he even has a shot on goal.
Been really disappointing so far. I can give him a pass on the MacKinnon series where he was clearly #2. But without Scheifele in this series, he needs to be better and be dominant considering his matchups.
