I guess they were elite as well then?
JG is a great player (and when he is cookin one of the best to watch)...at one area of the game.
He is not an elite player at all though. Those guys are way more well rounded.
These days he looks like he is afraid of his own shadow...playing completely scared...of contact, of puck battles, and of his own end.
I know I know...its Wards fault though.

The Bernie Nichols data point is one of my favourite trivia questions. When you ask people to name 70 goal scorers, he is one a lot of people don’t think of
But that’s with prime Gretzky bouncing pucks in off his ass, everybody knows that’s different than Johnny
Gary Leeman? Never heard of him, doesn’t ring a bell
Johnny afraid of his shadow? I see him busting his ass. But fine. Put Lucic there, he can be the Semenko. Can’t get worse
Hey man I don’t have to talk about Ward all the time. Will quickly note without dwelling that he sucks and has to go. Everybody knows. Nothing anybody says can absolve him of this. It’s just who wants to rip the bandaid off and when they get around to it
I’m watching now because I am curious as to what rock bottom is and what it takes to make a change.
