Absolutely, but we are only seeing one side of the coin with his goals. If he's pinching up so often, I wonder if CBJ fans are having their own "Gus" groans the way we do....or rather have, with his own gaffes.
Either way, Boqy definitely has always had good offensive instincts and a shot to take advantage of em.
Guy is playing well, but would like to see some more actual defense from him.

Yeah, it was designed after the fact to make it not look so bad, I feel like that's why they went after Fleury. Could you imagine how bad this team would be, without Fleury and Jones? Pretty much a guaranteed top 3 pick.

That's the problem with a shitty plan, it can punch you in the face. McCabe has actually been pretty decent for a while now, though.

McCabe has been much improved of late.
Absolutely. I know I'll get shit for this, but Gus has been solid as well.

I thought he’s been good the last 10 games or so. He’s cutting guys off on the half wall and separating them from the puck in the d zone where before he may have just tried to get a stick on them and they go right past and get a chance or start a cycle. With that improvement and his offensive ability he’d be hard to sit with who we have to replace him in the lineup.
He's been, probably, their #2 or #3 defenseman over the last few weeks. That's not saying much, but I've been happy with his game. I checked, and he's a +7 over the last month, too. So it's translating to results.

The accountability era?
I didn't know much about McCabe's game prior to him coming to Chicago but he has surprisingly great wheels. I'd like to see him utilize that more with more aggression on offense .... but I agree, his game has been a lot better lately after a rather auspicious start in Chicago.

The accountability era?
I will get a lot of flak for this opinion but in my view, Gus has never been a terrible Dman. It is his blatant (inexplicable) gaffes that occur at the worst times that have been his downfall.
Lately, he has cut down on the dumb mistakes but I thoroughly expect a return and eventually, everyone will turn on him once again. I hope I'm wrong about that.
