Yep, neither Gryba nor Cowen (nor Boro, either, for that matter) have the puck skills to make any of the plays Weir did in OT. The long pass up the middle before nearly sprung MacArthur (I think it was him?), and the behind the back pass leading up to the goal too was money. He just needs some confidence to play on both sides of the puck.

He is considered an offensive defencemen so he is expected to make those kind of plays. An offensive defencemen that has 3 goals and 10 assists in 50 games.

Dude, Wier is the best defensemen on this team according to corsi. Can't deny he's very very good.

As someone who thinks that Wiercioch has been quite good at times since mid-January, I need to interject that Corsi does not in any way measure dumbass defensive miscues and terrible d-zone coverage, which is why Wiercioch has been benched in the past.


a) Wiercioch has been good lately, regardless of how you look at Corsi,
b) Wiercioch has been bad at times lately as well, which Corsi does not recognize, and
c) There is more to hockey than Corsi (and I'm saying this as a supporter of Advanced Stats)

I was infinitely sarcastic, I hate Wiercioch but apparently I cant hate him because he scored. Thanks for the course thoo really appreciated, you probably missed the last pages of this thread

These boards aren't really illustrious. They pretty much let anyone join. Like me for example.

I was writing that post while that last page happened, sorry.

I'll try to keep my posts to under 144 characters in the future, so that I too can confuse people with short, context-less posts.



Also: when talking about a player who this board is completely split on, you need to use the sarcasm smiley if you are being sarcastic, because that same post by another poster could be made completely seriously.

I get that you have to cling to sarcasm to appear like you have a point, but nobody actually thinks he's the best dman on the team. Or thinks he's "very very good".

You have irrational hate for a player on your favorite team... cool. Whatever floats your boat.

Sure he hasn't produced as much as we might like, but you ignore the fact his usage under Maclean plays a huge part in that lack of production.

I'll take it as a compliment, thanks.
And why the hell does that bother you???
