If you mean he can hold the puck in the offensive zone, then we agree, but if you mean he can actually generate a scoring chance, then I'd like to point out a couple of things that I see. When Hossa has the puck on his stick, he tends to be looking down. This means that almost every chance that he generates is going to have to come off his own stick, because he's not looking for his team mates. His lack of speed with the stick also is an issue. He takes a long time to do anything with the puck and generally sees his shots blocked, deflected or the puck simply taken away from him. He uses his body to shield the puck when he has it, which is good...but seldom do you see him use his strength and size to do anything away from the puck or on defense. Ultimately one or two good plays by Hossa does nothing in my mind to outweigh all the things that he does poorly. He's like fools gold, he looks like he might develop into something, but ultimately he's just another Rico Fata or Jozef Balej.

Too bad that he Patty-cake hit on Eaves didn't stick, and Eaves kept on going to score the first goal of the game. Hossa, great goal.

No, but HE KEEPS THOSE GUYS ON THE TEAM. Just read Sam's article where Renney says that Sather and Maloney must convince HIM to make any changes. He says he likes his team, and feels they can go a long way. RENNEY is the guy who is defending the Wards and Hossas and Halls of the world. so anyone absolving him of responsibility for the mess is a lil' fool.

Also said,"What is Adam Hall doing on the powerplay??" So Renney made that move too.

It may really be a lack of "Cup-quality" leadership that is missing from this team. Sure there are faults with certain players and there are players who are better than others and there is plenty of young talent ready to go. But all teams struggle with this chemistry and development process during a season like the Rangers are having. Jagr is a very big part of this problem - not his skill or shoulder injury. He is the problem because he is at his best when he can focus entirely on the playing aspect of his game. He should not be the Captain. Not on this team. His role should not be captain and he should not be burdened with those added expectations. They only diminish his abilty to make plays and score goals (and play defensively when needed). His relationship with Renney may also have a negative impact on his ability to communicate with the rest of the team like "The Captain" was able. Renney treats him differently. Renney allows him a great flexibility and the other players can see that. Renney sees (though he could be wrong) a team that can go deep into the playoffs. We saw last night the firepower they have - 4 goals in 7:00 minutes of play against Ottawa. The leader also needs to bring out that 7 minutes of play for every game - not just the coach. "The Captain" made his team belive they could win and it was obvious that he made them believe by expecting performance of a certain level and he made them understand that anything short of that would not translate to winning. Jagr is not getting that part done. I see some sort of disconnect between what Renney wants and what Jagr follows through on. Anyone else see that? I do not claim to have the answer - this is just my observation based on the last few ups and downs including the latest win/loss streaks. I'm really not faulting Jagr either. I think he should just focus on playing. He is better off in that role. Not sure this will be a popular post.
