My dislike is not irrational. What is irrational is your continued chanting of what is clearly not true. Watch how other teams play him. It is right there in front of your eyes. They play him to cut off his passing lanes and do not worry about him shooting.
Actually I think the real villian here is Jarmo. Look, Wennberg is what he is, a defense oriented center. He is a decent third line center. He is a great 4th line center. Those are positions where the player can and should think defense first. The idiot in the room is Jarmo who continues to treat Wennberg like an offensively oriented, second line center. This offseason ROR was available. We should have done everything possible to obtain him. ROR, Bjork and Anderson would make a solid second line. Then you team Wennberg up with Jenner and Foligno and you have a solid checking type of defensively oriented third line. Add Dubie, Duclare and Milano and we would have four solid lines But because of jarmo's obnoxious, stubborn refusal to admit he made a mistake, we are playing with one top line and 3 third/4th lines.
So no, I don't hate Wennberg. He is what he is, a solid defensively oriented center who is terrible at face offs and has done nothing to improve that skill. It is Jarmo whom I have grown to dislike.
