Your favorite player's biggest flaw

[kook10]

Datsyuk used to be a little too "cute" sometimes and also had a tendency to overpass. I guess with him gone it would now be Nyquist, can he has been plain awful in the playoffs so far.

My take on Dats was that he played better pissed off, and just wasn't that way enough.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Getzlaf - He is bald , but really occasionally comes off lazy at times and to many bad pass attempts (no looks and what not)

Lindholm- I don't really have any flaws with his game right now, maybe a bit inconsistent at times but that's normal for young dmen.

 

[Norwegianoiler]

McDavid's shot is pretty lackluster.

And he needs to add to his one breakaway move given that he should keep having quite a few chances on the breakaway.

 

[Kranix]

The flaw lies in the NHL clubs not calling Tim Jackman out of retirement.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Getzlaf - Tries to be too pretty at times and is pass first to a fault. The guy has the best shot on the Ducks but is always looking to pass. I'm convinced he could score upwards of 40 goals if he actually shot more. Also can make incredibly stupid plays from time to time (look up his OT drop pass that cost us the game)

Lindholm - Game to game consistency is an issue. Can be the best defenseman on the ice one game to being completely invisible the next. His lack of a contract is also a big flaw atm.

 

[Diddy]

William Nylanders hairline is receding.

 

[PWJunior]

Tavares sometimes goes on really bad cold streaks, and he also overplays himself by taking really long shifts.

Tavares' biggest flaw is his 1-timer. For an elite offensive player who can pretty much do it all, it's pathetically bad.

 

[Lempo]

Komarov has the issue of sometimes doing something really dumb like a bad hit or bad penalty. Other than that, he's a perfect hockey player in the modern NHL. Solid two way, constant motor, can cycle and play boards, put in 20 goals last year, great mentor, draws penalties.

Team Finland fan shares your pain.

Gaudreau: his wrists aren't reinforced with adamantium.

There's so many to choose though!

- He uses an intermediate stick instead of Sr.
- He's short

 

[Nithoniniel]

My favorite player is probably Bergeron. His biggest flaw is that he likes to make my favorite team look like they don't belong in the league.

 

[Little Psycho]

He's not very good at hockey.. not even that good at fighting anymore. But still my favorite.

That's dedication.

Draisaitl - his skating (turning and acceleration) still is sub-par and is a major factor preventing him from being a 1C.

 

[Joe Sakic]

ROR: Not physical in any way, shape, or form. It's kind of "his game" though.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Subban - can't make Therrien like him

 

[Aladyyn]

For me Eichel drives me nuts sometimes. He needs to show more consistency. And when he has the puck he tries to do to much sometimes. Also if Eichel had Reinhart's hockey IQ you'd have Mario Lemieux

Eichel is still more effective when he tries to do too much than when he tries specifically not to He's gonna figure it out sooner or later, not worried

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

This is the first time I hear that Giroux is a below-Average skater.

He has poor top-end speed and average acceleration, but makes up for it with his agility and hockey IQ. Not unlike Pavelski.

 

[nbwingsfan]

My take on Dats was that he played better pissed off, and just wasn't that way enough.

I can agree with this too. His play when he was mad at something was something to be seen. Always love the replay of him repeatedly going after Weber until he got him.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Subban takes way too many stupid penalties.

 

[gorangers0525]

Lundqvist's posession stats are awful

 

[Nordic*]

Lindholm- I don't really have any flaws with his game right now, maybe a bit inconsistent at times but that's normal for young dmen.

Lindholm - Game to game consistency is an issue. Can be the best defenseman on the ice one game to being completely invisible the next. His lack of a contract is also a big flaw atm.

There's not a single player in the NHL who loses the puck between his own legs, as frequently as #47.

 

[hagelin1381]

Crosby can't really grow a beard

 

[Machinehead]

There's nothing Brassard is terribly bad at.

I guess if anything, he's not Bergeron defensively, he's just pretty good.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Subban - Sometimes, he got a brain fart and takes a stupid penality

Price - Best goalie in the league, but his freaking knee...

 

[Maurice Del Taco]

Modano - Retired :-(

 

[akirayeung]

Pavelski isn't a fast skater and you can see it when he's doing rushes...
