Message: [QUOTE="ThruWayWest, post: 1368083, member: 5072"] I still think Evans has not completely healed from his lower body injury. He does not seem to have the footspeed for midfield. For some reason, I think that Tim Barber is going to be that player who really steps up his game in the playoffs. In the past, we always seemed to get a lot of productivity from an unexpected source when we have deep May tournament runs. Lecky sometimes is rewarded with a high shot. I have always felt that if he were to shoot low he would have a lot more success. He does a lot of stick side high catch with the goalie shots or out of control blasts over the net. It is very frustrating. He is a two year captain and a leader. So he must bring that chemistry to the team. Lecky also picked up the game later in life so hard to fault his accuracy. There is something to developing stick skills throughout your life. If you look at the elite shooters and players they all seem to still come from the traditional hotbeds where they have been developing a stick throughout their lives. I know that Kyle Thompson is quick but his stick is so nasty. You just don't get to be that proficient without a lot of practice. Some is god given talent but some of it is working on your skills in pick up games on the reservation. Dylan Donahue was one of those guys who also seems to work on his game and refine his stick and accuracy. The great scorers seem to have that accuracy and grace under fire. They sort of know how much time they have to shoot or shoot quick when needed. I can't really describe it but you know when scorers have that ability. Lecky seems a bit forced to me. sometimes he looks absolutely in tune. It is sad to say that I wish we had a 6th year player :-) for another year but it seems like he has shown marked improvement.
