Lupuls is a beast on skates. This guy can score every single way (snipe, tip, slapper). His physical strength is also very impressive. Most games he powers his way through at least one or two guys.
Whenever the team is down near the end, he steps in with a NOT IN MA HOUSE kind of attitude
While Kessel has more offensive talent, Lupul is the offensive leader when things get tough. He has the same issue as Crosby -
IF he can stay healthy. Granted their injury histories are not even in the same stratosphere, both are prolific scorers who have put up insane numbers over their injury filled seasons.
His numbers since being traded to the Leafs:
Year GP G A PTS
11-12 66 25 42 67
13-13 16 11 07 18
13-14 09 06 04 10
Total 91 42 53 95
Over the last 2 years he has 17 goals in 25 games. The man needs to stay healthy this year. He can score 50 if he can play 80 games.
