Surprise!!! I dont like weak ineffective defensemen in the d zone. He has enough offensive talent. Never this season will PW play a regular role as a right d man(except PP). If you think so you really have no concept of the game. I like Boro but he is a left shot. I say Wiercioch comes out of camp as a #7 d man and I bet his contract will reflect this.
The concept of the game? lol, you think you REALLY understand it?
You're the type of hockey fan that believes a team has to be built with
only tall/huge physical players
But in reality, a hockey team is like a food recipe, you need a good blend of everything with the right proportions. Of course, if the Sens had 3-4 players like Wiercioch on their defense, that would be disastrous but it's not the case. Cowen, Methot and Gryba are huge and physical, Phillips isn't scared of anyone too. Karlsson is too fast to be catched and Wiercioch is still learning how to play in the NHL. Not a big problem, he's 6'5 and over 200 lbs. He just has to continue to grow in his body, get stronger and learn how to use his body at the NHL level
Erik Karlsson is not physical and not very strong, is that a big problem? Lidstrom wasn't physical as well.
Physical play is just a part of the game, there's also a PUCK you know.
Wiercioch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Borowiecki
And it's not even remotely close. Please.
Wiercioch was on the ice for 13 goals against in 42 games (659 TOI)
Benoit was on the ice for 21 GA in 33 games (541 TOI)
Gryba was on the ice for 25 GA in 33 games (669 TOI)
Come again??
I'd really love for you to come up with a real argument instead of me repeatedly telling you how the stats say the complete opposite of everything you say against Wiercioch.
He said he doesn't like weak ineffective defensemen. He should remove "ineffective" at least, particularly if you consider the offense that Wiercioch manufactured.
