I was really hoping to see Jake win the Q scoring title, but he really trailed off at the end of the year. Now I see the Mooseheads win 11-1 and he only registers one assist. I'm not close to the situation in Halifax, and I would like to have someone update me on how he's playing.
Last year, he was a horse in the playoffs. Here's hoping he's got more of the same to show.
If I had to guess, I would wonder if there is a minor injury or illness that is either limiting his ice time or ability to hit the scoresheet. But I have no first hand knowledge.
It has only been two games. The line of Hillier-Corsi-Swan has been on fire, so they are being leaned on while they are hot.
I was at the two games, and Jake was still the best player on the ice for both games. He was making things happen and doing his usual 2 minute shift on the PP. In game one he had a glaring turnover but it didn't lead to a goal. That's the only "mistake" that I seen him make.
Another thing is Victo is keying in on Jake, checking him hard. That is opening things up for Swan, Hillier and Marchand.
I was also a bit surprised by the fact that Jake only got an assist in Game 2 but it doesn't mean a thing. Don't worry about Jake, we here in Hali aren't one bit. He carried us this year and he will produce when he needs to.
