You know what I really miss sometimes? The Heatley/Spezza haydays. Those two had a chemistry similar to the Benn/Seguin powerhouse. It was just really good hockey to watch. I always liked how if we NEEDED a goal, you could put those two out with Alfie and a goal was pretty much a given.
Nothing lasts forever though, but can you imagine what a working Ryan/Spezza match up might have looked like this year?
That particular game was a tough one to watch. He scores the hat-trick, including one of his stupidly impossible, standing behind the goal line and still getting it in the net kind of goals....
But what I really missed after watching that game was his presence on the PP. Watching him standing on the half-wall running that PP, cycling the puck, making stupid passes that shouldn't connect but still do, and creating chances....
