Ehh what? I wasnt saying anything about his puck possesion during the playoffs, I was talking about this season when I said that. You.....you understand puck possession doesnt strictly mean THAT single player right? For the 3 or 4 games that line was together in the LA series they were great, due to all 3 players playing very well. But thats an extremely small sample size. And its not as much throwing him under the bus, it's really more Q and his insistence in putting Shaw at center. Like I said, thats not going to be a problem for the remainder of the season, they have centers galore right now. But next season....
And Kane said he enjoyed playing with Handzus that year as well, even while Zus was acting as cement shoes for his line's production the entire season. Its amazing that Kane was actually pacing Crosby at one point during that season, seeing as he only scored one even strength goal with Zus on his line. Again that's just a testament to Kane. You're never going to get a player calling out his own teammate because he doesn't belong on a line. You're never going to hear that. That's a coaching mistake. A very long, slow burn of coaching stupidity by Q in leaving Zus on that line all fucking season long and waiting until their backs were to the wall in the WCF to finally make a change.
You.....you understand that a superstar player...that handles the puck a lot....may have the puck on his stick AT MOST...about 1min a game. Tremendous possession numbers there.
