Dale just needs to keep it simple. He's not skilled but does have a great stride, big body and decent hockey sense. He's a decent 3rd liner but should never play more than 12-13 minutes a game under a competent coach.
+100000000 (and I don't even think he's over-achieving...he just never got the proper chances in Vancouver...now he is).
He's an awesome top 6-9 playoff warrior.
Also amazing in case of injuries...since he can fill in sometimes in the top 6 (sometimes or more often than sometimes).
I really don't get this fanbase sometimes...Weise is so good for our Habs, and yet...there are still some fans who bash...I don't understand.
We're so lucky Bergevin made that brilliant trade (Diaz for Weise).
Playoff warriors:
PK Subban, Dale Weise, Gallagher, Mitchell...we need more playoff warriors, not less.
Go Weise Go!!
A star? Dale Weise?
Yeah...anyways, he's headed towards a 15-20 goal season. Seems like overachieving to me.
You think he has star potential...to each his own I guess
Weise is a 3rd liner. Like, Desharnais and Fleishmann.
In fact all 3 are top tier 3rd liners in this league. MT just needs to keep them on the 3rd line.
I'm fine with a top six of:
Pacioretty Plekanec Gallagher/Carr
Eller Galchenyuk Ghetto/Carr

Fair enough...I don't agree that he could hit 30, that's hard for a lot of natural goal scorers to achieve.
I agree he does miss alot of chances for lack of focus and I think that's what separates him from more accomplished scorers, because I do think he's got more skill then he's given credit for.
He's got 11 he's flat out missed 5 and he has disappeared for games on end.
Let's face it both he and Carr aren't the prettiest players but given opportunity they can fill the net with the ugly type of goals we need as a team to be successful.
The last time we had any pretty goals on a consistent basis was when TV Max and Davey went Harlem Globetrotter for a couple of weeks.

No, absolutely not. Lacks defensive awareness to play against top lines on a regular basis (and doesn't compensate on offense).
Still, his skillset could be used on a Top-6 for a short period (like one or two shifts) if a particular top-6 line needs what he brings.

It was nice to see one of our three slumping offensive superstars breakout and score a goal last night.
Criticism of any Montreal player is merely deflecting attention from the real problem. Montreal is a smallish fast team built for a quick strike game. Montreal sadly needs size and strength down the middle to complete for the cup. As constructed the team is good for playoffs in the eastern conference but wouldnt compete for the cup even if firing on all cylinders.

Wak Prescott the 40M/yr fraud, here we gooo!
I don't think so. He's an elite 4th liner and a capable 3rd liner, that's pretty much it. I'll be surprised if he ever cracks 20 goals. I miss the old Weise though, the one who doesn't play like a soft wannabe sniper.
30 goals?? Dale Weise?? Are you freaking crazy??
Dude, come on now...He's lucky to even have 11 goals.
...he's a short-term Top 6 fix while you're dealing with injuries...at best...he's a very capable Bottom 6er; that's what he is and that's where he should play...
there are countless posts tearing MT for playing Weise as much as he does.
Even though he's clearly our best option at RW at the moment
I also seem to recall a debate with you about you preferring your boy Sekac over him.
Even last night, I ready many comments about playing Weise during 3 on 3
