Dale Weise

I think he'll tie Clarkson tonight.

 

[schnapshot]

He's having a tremendous game.

Still think he's being miscast. But he's stepping up big time.

Unfortunately for the Therrien haters out there, a major symptom of a well-coached team in today's game is the ability to plug players into the lineup "above their pay grade", and still contribute to a successful 60 minute plan.

the guy could produce 5 points in a game and you would still think hes miscast.

We need to realize hes no longer a plug.

Couldn't agree more

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Weise isn't a top 6 forward but I think that he is more than a 4th line player at this point in his career.

he's producing below the not so great 0.5 PPG pace when used as a top 6, and below average when used in the bottom 6.

He's doing fine. If you are trying to tell me that Dale Weise is a legitimate top 6 then I don't really know what to say.

At 27, he is a late-bloomer.

And a major symptom of a star winger is producing with no matter who he plays with and making people around him better. Obviously they're not Crosby and Malkin but Subban Pacioretty Price are a special trio.

No but does it even matter? Hes producing isn't that enough?

I'm curious to see if he can produce the same offense away from Pacioretty. His point pace away from Patches has been the same as his career average. Maybe he is a late-bloomer, but Pacioretty has increased the point totals of everyone he's played with this season.

again so what?

Sure. He's proving to be a good stop-gap. Sorry for talking about Dale Weise in the Dale Weise thread. Guess I'll go talk about him somewhere else.

Move over Vanek...there's a new Bruins-killer in the league

well obviously not DD

well obviously not DD

Well, DD has 4 points in the last two games by just touching the puck. Pacioretty has pretty much been the set up man for whatever goals that line has scored.

The thing is, he's actually NOT miscast. He brings things to the Desharnais-Pacioretty line that are needed - net presence, board battling, speed, defensive awareness and toughness.

If we wanted to have a showcase first line that is super-skilled with three dipsy-doodlers, then Weise would be out of place....but that is not how the team is built. We have a 2- and sometimes 3-line offence, with numerous threats spread out across the lines, and in such a framework, Weise is a plus playing with Desharnais.

Every player gets an easy point on occasion. Lars Eller was on the bench when Vancouver scored in their own net a few years ago. Just to say, that's a notable blunder but it happens.

Sure, but I'm just saying that DD has seen his point total increase going back with Pacioretty. Patches just produces offense, players will get points playing with him. He drives the line by himself.
