Gaber is the captain of a team with a whole new backend (plus some fresh faces on forward) with a 7-2-1 record after an absolute grind of a schedule to start the season. Any lack of production on his part, whether real or perceived, is more than made up for in leadership.

 Early on last season several of us worried out loud that Gaber seemed to be trying to do too much, holding on to the puck too long (and losing it) and dangling when that was not likely to succeed.   He's been different this year--more of a team leader, IMO.   If he is off a little in production and is still as much a go-getter as he's always been, it's I'm good with it.   The team is better at all phases except the pp, and that has been improving.  He will always play an important scoring role on the team, and he is always a possession problem for defenses, even when he doesn't shoot.

Blake is Blake. Perron is coming along as expected for a high-end freshman. James has figured it out as has OMac. Toss in a couple "old guys" smart with pucks (Schmaltz and Berg) and a ton of puck possession load that had been on Gaber is spread out. 

Ponder this: Saturday night's starting card had last season's 2C playing 3RW (LouieJam) until Schmaltz left the game. 

More pondering: We're very close to a 9-3 forwards team instead of a 6-6.

Blake definitely leads the team with time of possession, what do you call how many minutes per game the puck is on your stick? There must be a stat for that.

Pretty sure it's a four-letter word like nerd, or geek, or wonk. :D
