I really disagree, based on one thing...
Guds is INITIATING physical events, during the play this year, for the first time in a long time, the Canucks have a guy that needs to be responded too, rather than a guy who is there to respond.
I have been the BIGGEST Guds hater on Earth, had you asked me I would have happily written you a multi-page article on how were it not for string of incredible and odds-defying good luck, this is a player, who if things had been just a C-hair different (picked one spot earlier/later, any other team, ect.) may never have played a single game in the NHL..
But I have to be honest, I grew up on the Murzyn farm, every mourning I got up at 4AM to milk the Diducks, I like having a defenceman who is MEAN and does things the OTHER team doesn't like, and I see how it can throw the other team off their game when you initiate that kind of thing, it usually works against you when you react to it..
...hate to say it, but I kinda like what I've seen so far, I don't watch hockey as an excuse to do math homework, and I find calculating zone exit stats is really only appealing when nothing FUN is happening in the game..so far Gudz has brought a little brohaha to the party, and I admit, I've been sniffing it out of a brown paper bag.
