The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
Because he has no offense in his game. Does anyone believe he does? I remember when he scored those two playoff goals and a bunch of people went into a frenzy about him being a top-6 winger. Problem was, those were two very flukey goals, and it was obvious even then that the guy had no offense.
Not that it isn't true of every guy, but he was a pretty nice offensive player at lower levels. I am surprised he has this much trouble, but I think TFC is correct in pointing out his release as a trouble spot and it has gotten progressively worse as he has starting gripping the stick too hard over the last couple years.
I never really thought he would be more than a pretty useful bottom six player. But I have to admit I thought he would have a couple big 40 point years over his career where he had some puck luck and what not. That appears impossible to see these days, I still think he has a little more talent than people around here think and his versatility shouldn't be dismissed. No way do I keep a Miller or Eaves over Gator.
