What is up with this guy? He started the season with 18pts in his first 17 games and has since gone very cold. His next 31 games has seen him gather a paltry 10 points!
I'm a little surprised the Bruins are doing as well as they are with this guy doing so little for the past couple months!
There was so much hype about this guy making the move to Boston but the offense just doesn't seem to be there?

I agree he is not producing points but i gotta say that he is still getting a ton of chances. I ve seen all but 5 or 6 of the Bruins games this season and has at least 2 or 3 good chances a game.
Maybe they should try him on Bergeron's line but I can really say if that will help him or not. Like you said they are still winning so maybe you just leave things the way they are and hope he comes out of it. |

| It doesnt make alot of sense, especially since Boston is a better team than Florida. and he has had the chances but just not been a finnisher or playmaker to the same degree. |

The points will come, they have to. He can't keep getting 3+ shots per and be stoned for the rest of the season. Why would he change lines with that many chances on the one he's on?
I see every Bruin game and it's the same most every game. Sooner or later, they have to start going in.

Toxxik, i like the optimism, and i know that's what's always said ("he's still getting the chances, eventually they will go in") but 30+ games is crazy! Obviously it's not hurting them that much as they've still got a good record?
I'm just amazed as i figured he could be a 70pt guy on a good team after what he'd done in Fla.

Boston plays a totally different game style to that of Florida.
More emphasis on defence first, then offence later. Horton is finding that out and is struggling in the pts dept, but, I can't bail on a guy who generates that many chances just because they're not going in........yet. He's playing with Lucic who is having a record year, so I have to believe the pts will come, just streaky and snakebitten.
