Is this thread for real?? A "bust" ???
We have idiotic fans. I am sure Nucks can relate (heck any NHL team can relate!).
People that think that would be fired as a gm in about ten seconds. Same story with Taylor hall in Edmonton. These kids need time to develop. If you expect a sophomore player to score eighty points, your unrealistic, I don't care how high they were drafted.
Well said. Many players took their time to develop:
- Datsyuk
- Thornton
- Leclaiver
- Iginla
- Sedin(s)
- Zets
- Hossa
etc.
I
am not saying that Duchene will be as good as those players. Just saying "yes, for every instance that players didn't show improvement in their second season and regressed there are also players who didn't show improvement (marginal as it may be) that went on to have successful careers".
Its stupid to 100% bet on one argument when that said player hasn't even played 100 NHL games.
Dutch does however need to learn to play an NHL game. The dangles and one vs one crap has got to stop. He's playing a minor league game in the bigs, and it doesn't work. Gotta use his teammates more and stop trying the hero stuff.
He will be ok tho. Be patient.
Great post!
The joke gets more and more funny with every time the Canucks beat the avs, and you still try to poke fun. Hodgeson was an 11th overall pick, and I would bet he would have done more tonight that your golden boy dutchy who was a third overall. I would rather have hodgeson playing 20 minutes a night in the ahl, than have dutchy riding the pine all game like he did the other night.
Oh god, horrible post!
and you're a Nucks fan!!
a. I see no way shape or forum how the Nucks beating the Avs have anything to do with Hodgson.
b. Its a running gag. Most Nucks fans hype machine went outta control (I know, I lived in Vancouver .. well surrey.. during the time and visit there regularly). You are telling a rival team not to poke fun of that? Blasphemy!
c. We aren't trying to make fun of "Hodgson" just the hype he has. Hope he makes it to the NHL and works out with him in Vancouver cause the kid is an amazing talent.
Actually Hodgson jokes got old a long time ago.
I don't love you anymore.
