About Svech

[Harbingers]

Yes he’s struggling right now but…

Make of it what you will. Cory definitely putting things in perspective though. That Guenz stat stands out.

I think people expect more dominant play out of Svech because of his style and talent. We know the potential when healthy and hot, so people want that. It's why everybody got down on Eric Staal late in his run here. Svech's contribution is still felt, it just isn't translating to 5v5 goals right now.

Honestly I’d move svech back up to 2 for the Toronto game and if he’s still struggling bench him for a game or two so he can get his head straight. Doubt Rod would do it but… 

Put TT with Staal and Marty if Fast can’t play.

Yeah I'd test and consider. But rod is bullish. How many cold snaps did Aho play through?

More than I’d like to count.

For me, it has nothing to do with the points and more to do with the effort.

Fast hasn’t put up points this year but I never have to question his effort. Svech has put up some points but the effort just isn’t there all the time.

I’m wondering if his oblique is acting up again. That would make sense why he can’t hit the net and if that’s the case rest the dude until the playoffs if we got the depth to spare.

As much as I’d like to get home ice throughout, if guys are hurting then they need to be sitting right now.

That’s if we have bodies to spare, with Drury, Fast(and TT for a bit) being out.

Look, we all grant Jordan a pass for his stretches of "and Staal's shot misses the net", so we can do the same for Svech lol

Thinking about it Staal is either basically shoots 10 feet wide or scores there is no in-between on anything besides stuff shots.

This is his first year back on a pretty serious injury. I don’t question his drive or desire, but it may take him more time to trust his body again. I had that injury plus some, and it takes about 2 years to forget the injury. He will be fine.

It was hilarious for a while there. It was a given that his shot was hitting glass or board, so every goal felt like a moment lol

The issue is when he disappears, he completely disappears.
