Nuge has also been cast by past coaches as a two way center which means doing more of the dirty assignments and less glory time. I still think he's a very valuable player but if he was playing with one of the dynamic duo every night or players with more play making ability, his scoring numbers would be better. Would like to see him shoot more and take more chances in the offensive end.
|
We've seen him take it to the middle with a move a couple times in recent games on the rush instead of the curl & pass, I'd like to see more of that. More shots as well, I'd like him up around 3 shots per game at minimum. I think as linemates go, you'd like a guy that can skate with him and wheel the puck a bit on the rush and another guy (Neal) who gets in position for a shot or can clean up the garbage. Essentially Chiasson is a guy like Neal but with much less ability.
|
Nuge is about 2.4 shots/game for his career, and was just over 2.5 shots/game last year.
The funny thing is that he could be at almost a point a game had a couple more bounces gone his way. He has 2 or 3 crossbars on the PP that were a whisker away from being goals and he's currently running at less than half his career shooting percentage (5.6% vs. 11.7%)
|
Yeah last night he and Darnell both had backhands that went right into Holtby's glove. Nuge has had several posts (6 or so?) this season that don't register as shots and are misses when it comes down to it. The biggest difference with Nuge's line in the way it's constructed is that they're not going to be super-creative off the rush. So if you've got possession, as they've had, something's got to find it's way to the net front. They're looking to the D too much, and the D isn't getting it there. Sounds more simple than it is, though.
The whole team needs to generate more shots, should be $100/shot for guys who generate shots in scoring areas.
