Really good article on Greer

Amazing. Great kid! Super pumped to continue seeing him develop with the organization!

Greer may already be my favorite Avs player. Beyond everything going on with the team, getting him up here and playing may be what I look forward to most.

He's the kind of guy you just can't peg. His determination is something that can't be stopped. He could be a special player. We'll just have to sit back and watch.

That goal he scored the other night was impressive. He and JTC have some nice chemistry that I hope carries over to the NHL.

I'd love to see a Greer-Compher-Nieto third line for next year.

His attitude is the number 1 thing the Avs are missing right now. It will be interesting to see next year (and probably the end of this year) when Greer and Compher are on the roster if their attitude sparks the team or the team brings them down.

I agree. He has that hundred yard stare thing going aswell. He looks intense as hell most of the time. One of those dead serious looking hockey players like Steve Larmer or Gary Roberts.

Is that different than a thousand yard stare? I hope so.

I don't know, Greer - Mackinnon - Rantanen would be pretty nice as well.

I'd rather ease Compher in on the wing, and see if sticking Greer n Compher on his wings can spark Soderberg back to the highend middle-6 Center we saw last year

Not a bad idea either

Can't help but think that that line would really click together and give us a tough unit that can keep the puck in the offensive zone, while really making life terrible for the opposition.

Yeah I know what you mean, but I guess I'm stuck in this vacuum of being disappointed with Soderberg's season, so it's difficult to get excited about anything involving him.

Part of that is his give a **** level completely falling off when hes not on the power play or in the top six. Especially considering he was never going to be the number two center on this team long term. I don't know why he would have thought that when signing either with Duchene and MacKinnon on the team.

The third line center role is an important role, and if he is going to play like crap, then he'll be on the 4th line more often than not.

If he was on the PP and playing good minutes between Greer & Compher, I can see Soda happy with the situation...at least if that line clicked like I think it would and the Soda-Bednar relationship could be fixed...

Roy actually was the first one to take him off the power play actually...

When Boedker came over, Soderberg came off the power play, and Blake ****ing Comeau stayed on it.


Edit : My point is, I wonder why it keeps happening, especially when in Roy's case he was productive there.

I know, but I still think Roy had a stronger relationship with Soda and was more able to coax his best out of him. Whereas Soda just doesn't seem to give two s***s about Bednar.

Yeah and that's a real problem...

Edit : On another note, it's interesting to see Greer proving Henchy right on some of his posts about him.

 

[cgf]

That's part of why I want to make that a line, I think Greer's focus and compher's energy could boost Soda on the ice; which could help repair the relationship with Bednar. That's why I hope that becomes a line after the TDL.

Hundred yard is more intense haha

 

[thehockeywatchinger]

This the nice article. We must feel better after the tragedy at Québec. I like this player on the ice and off the ice.
