Hawerchuk Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 OK, I'm talking about Mike Weber. He's plays 100% out there no doubt, but lets be real, he is TERRIBLE. Out of position alot, gets burned in the corners and in front of the net, dumps the puck in before the red line causing icing. Don't mean to bag on the guy, but he just does not have it. I'm quite amazed he is on the team as bad as they are. He's not a quality NHL D man. Your thoughts folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly better than Balls and Mezzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really disagree with you on anything, i really want to like the guy, but he just has times where his mistakes are so costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Last year, yeah. This year he seems to be playing better. Certainly better than Balls and Mezzer. I actually watched three episodes of Archer after the game last night because of our defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicknfla Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Teams that suck (and want to suck) usually have players that suck. Kind of goes hand in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next year, Meszaros and Benoit are bugging me more, strachan is a bit of a surpise as in, he can compete for a 7th D spot and push weber away next year. But then again, only 4 games into season, any of those 4 can be our 7th D next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've espoused my thoughts and feelings on this subject 10 fold. He's a 16 minute a game 6th defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I dunno. If he's working hard, he'll get better, I figure. I just hope that the evidence for working hard isn't how many blows to the head he can absorb or dish out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Weber sucked last year. So far this year we've got the good Mike Weber. Ink is right: he's a solid 6/7 on a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Looks like Mike is maturing this year, relatively. He's the same player. They just don't have him slated as a #2 D getting 23 minutes a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 OP could be talking about half of the team, if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 He's the same player. They just don't have him slated as a #2 D getting 23 minutes a night. And, at least until Pysyk is healthy, he is currently their 3rd best D man. Which says a LOT about the other guys' play to date. When a true #6/7 is your #3, you've got issues. (Unless you want to tank, in that case, the plan is coming together.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
