01/01/2012 13:38 Neutral Zone Wrap: Major room for improvement
Which players have been nothing but a disappointment, giving you big-time headaches? Evan Berofsky discusses in his Neutral Zone Wrap.
The 48 goals Gionta pocketed in 2005-06 may be an outlier, but the Habs captain has been an automatic 20-goal guy for seven straight seasons. He led Montreal for a second straight season with 29 goals in 2010-11, though it was largely considered a sub-par year for Gionta. Theres a notion out there that Gionta was held down by the poor play of linemate Scott Gomez, and the two will likely remain on the same line this coming season. For a small player, he plays with some grit and isnt afraid to put his body in the high-traffic areas. With a full season of Max Pacioretty as a scoring threat on the left wing and an elevation in Gomez play, Gionta could break the 30-goal mark. (Updated 10/4/11)
