LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
Volchenkov always has brick hands.
He also seems to have bricks for brains, too.
And yet he's more useful than Zidlicky....that's how bad Marek is.
Volchenkov always has brick hands.
I think Zidlicky's issues are really overexaggerated. He's an offensive d-man. Not sure why people expect him to be a shutdown guy.
Volchenkov IS a shutdown guy and gift wraps goals to the opposition. He is the worst d-man on this team.
Angry Volch, Happy Volch, Sad Volch, I don't care. He's one dimensional, not good at it, and his best asset bothers our goalie. He's gotta go, or he's getting amnesty'd.
He's been neutered by the Devils and doesn't fit the system. He's trying to be something he is not. He was never a pure shutdown defenseman. He was someone who blocked shots and made huge hits. He can't do that here because he is trying to be better positionally.
Expect Volchenkov in Android mode tomorrow. Terrible giveaway but he was the only that seemed to care in the 3rd period. Great wake up call. Watch out Tavares.
Honestly, I expect Volchenkov to be scratched tomorrow.
He was good last game and was fine up until that gaffe. I just think people have had the pitchforks ready for a while now. $4.25 is a lot for another 3 years. I agree but I doubt anyone takes that contract until next summer.
Why would anybody ever take on that contract? You can literally pick up a defenseman that will play 15 minutes a night at similar level of defense for a million, maybe even less
Sure you might not get the same physical play, but is that worth an extra 3.25 million on a multi year deal?
Paying any stay at home guy premium dollars is a bad move.
Zidlicky has way more value to this team than Volch. I dont understand the Zidlicky hate. He isnt nearly as bad in the defensive zone as a lot of you make it and he is an asset for us in the offensive zone. We needed the kind of game he brings from a defenseman for years, why would we give it up now?He also seems to have bricks for brains, too.
