They were saying what a great game Kuzy had last night.. I thought he looked rather lazy (as usual) to my eye. He scored a goal and I guess had a good recovery/back check once? But it must just be the way he skates. Doesn't look like he's "trying" or moving his legs much. I know he glides well, but even in the D zone, going after a loose puck or something, just looks like he doesn't even try to go strong to the puck. I still think he brings positives, but at his salary it's annoying.

If Kuzy would skate and play to his potential his salary would be a bargain.  If he were the Kuzy of the Cup year playoffs....He would be well worth more than his salary.  I think he does sometimes does get a bad rap because he doesn't appear to be working, but he just skates so fluidly it makes it look like he's not working.  Definitely missing something somewhere though.  Too bad.  I don't put him in the Semin category though....Semin soured us on high talent low effort Russians.  I think it hard to tell with his demeanor.  I think Samsonov is kind of the same way.  Kind of low key and sometimes looks like he's not working for the puck, but really..that is when he is playing well...letting it come to him instead of fighting it.  NOt overplaying and scrambling.
It's different for a goalie...theys allowed to be low key and chill

I really want this in a black nhl jersey, like the all star one..

The Kuzy comparison to Semin is becoming more on point.  Remember however, that Semin had a few great years with us - which Kuzy has yet to have. I'd love to see what would happen with Kuzy if he was coached by a guy like Tortorello - although I'm pretty sure he would crumble instead of rise to the challenge.

Beaglefan2:
So on Sprong again, I think he is only 24 and I don't remember how we got him and how long we have him under contract. I'm really liking him for one reason - he likes to shoot.  The other night when he had a 2 on 1 with Ovi and he shot and scored - that is what we need more of.  We need guys that want to score more than being selfless and making the pass because they want to be liked in the lockerroom.

no Eller tonight
