You dirty dog!
I've been quietly optimistic about Weiss since he was signed, but enough is freaking enough.
I don't care if he's in a new system, I don't care anymore if he was hurt most of last season, I don't care that he just came back from injury and I do not care that he played with Cleary and Samuelsson tonight.
I saw flashes of what I thought we might be getting from him in maybe 2 or 3 games this season, the rest of the season, like tonight, he has been a non-factor save for some good face-off numbers, though tonight he was awful at the dot, but I will give him a pass on that.
Especially with Datsyuk down and possibly out for an extended period, our playoff hopes might hinge on what Weiss does from here on out. I hated losing filppula but was not unhappy with the Weiss signing until recently. Truly it is time to bury the excuses for this guy and hold him to the standards and expectations that a man taking in 5M per year should be held to.
Goes without saying that I am pulling for him.
