I remember so many posters jumping up and down with joy when he was acquired by our moronic Bozovin

Lol..,
This was in part a rebound effect from losing our #2/3 center in Danault and Kotkaniemi and going for a need. Plus he had the reputation of a relatively young, two way interesting player in Arizona. Garland instead would have been good but he wasn’t filling a need.

I think he’d do great on a contender. 9th season and has made the playoffs only once. Majority of his time spent in the desert with an uncertain future and/or a tanking team.

In the right situation he could be a huge piece for someone else’s Cup run.

Spread the word!

(Note I didn’t say Stanley Cup…)

I seriously though he was benched and then he's o
Like most people on this board, I have never been impressed by Dvorak’s talent,compete level, lack of enthusiasm and over all ´ I look miserable in this uniform ‘ attitude, BUT !!! I expected him to level up his play this year for the simple fact that he’s playing for a new contract at the end of the season.
I don’t recall such a Debby downer ever in my 50+ years of watching this team play.
Please take him out of his misery and ship him out of town. A smelly jockstrap and a bucket of pucks would be a fair deal in exchange. It’s simply impossible to think how Beck could do worst.
I seriously though he was benched I look up at the tail end of the 5v3 sequence and he's out there getting PP time.

Another F everything minute.

Dvorak 5 G 6 A in his last 40 games and -10
Not one poster missed him or commented on his absence last year.
Says everything.

I despise Dvorak as much as you guys, but I kinda understand why a coach would keep using him. He has only one use on the team. He's one of the only 3 centers who can win faceoffs. The other 2, Suzuki and Evans, are right shooters. That makes Dvorak the unique faceoffs man who can take important faceoffs on the left side of the rink.

It sucks. I didn’t check, but I want to believe Laval must have one left shooting center who can win faceoffs? If so, whoever he is, he cannot be worse than Dvorak, no?

If Laval has nobody, it's time to shop for a left shooting 4th line center then.

He’s one of those guys where the adequate baseline of hockey sense and skill is immediately evident, but he just can’t be bothered to execute never mind make an extra effort. Chop his legs off and move on.

Serious?
I'd go with 12 righties in my forward group before he ever gets a sniff of ice time.
Call up Condotta do f***ing something this team is BROKEN.

Nowhere land
It's so funny to me
He's garbage
But we're asking him to be Philip Danault

This is a guy who was a high scoring offensive and not defensive player in junior (who obviously hasn't translated to NHL offense)
But to think he's all of a sudden out of nowhere a shutdown 3C cuz his offense didnt translate is so weird to me lol
And we're all wondering why he STINKS at the job lmao

All he was good for was face offs and he's been BLOWING it bad in key spots
He's gotta GO and fast

Evans should be 3C

And the 4th line C can be freaking Xhekaj for all I care ffs lol
Agree and that was an insult to our intelligence.
You take Philip Danault with all he can do defensivly. A top nhl specialist in the practice. Right?
Now we take another type of center who was a scoring one in the juniors. It doesn't translate into nhl. And all of the sudden he could transform himself into Philip Danaut 2.0. Just like that, finger snap!

C'mon ! That's insulting what I know from watching hockey.
