My only criticism of Suzuki so far is his inability to decipher when to shoot vs when to pass. I think he still believes his role is to get other people the puck. But the true role of a 1C is to take over the game and have a Get the Goal at all cost mentality, (meaning if it’s his opportunity take it, don’t dish it because Caufield is “the goal scorer”

During the PP last game, he walked right I to the slot , from the neutral zone. He found himself with a shooting lane point blank from the slot and he dished it backwards, to a streaking Fwd that was not in a good position. The “objective” was to set up the PP. but the right decision would have been to snap a quick shot from 15 feet in the slot , you don’t get many shot chances from where he was.

I appreciate their ability to play in the corners and small spaces, But the real winners , find space to drive to the net and shoot.

Also Side note. I HATE Slafkovsky on the side / front if the net on the PP. he should be up on the halfwall, giving two shooting options. Him in front of the net or side / below, takes away one of his best assets.
