You can see the effort, and the physicality, which is fine, but I don't think I recall #19 getting any kind of offensive time with the puck or scoring chance 5 on 5 (or the PP for thet matter). This year, he officially made it a debate about who the best forward on this team is. Now's the time for him to solidify himself as the guy, but he hasn't shown that in the first 2 games of the series.

I disagree. He's been showing that he's an impact player. First game he had 4 hits, 2 shots, and participated in a fight. Second game he had 5 hits, 3 shots, and drew a powerplay. He's agitated them. He is very much on the Jets radar, and as such, should be disrupting Jet dynamics. You can tell every time there is a scrum, he's right in the middle. If you are asking that he puts up that kind of effort and scores goals every game, I think your expectations may be a bit high.
IMO, hes been playing well, and is opening up opportunities.
