(Though he's got a problem with giving up shorthanded chances while on the PP but seems to be doing this less this year thank god). What I can't stand is every time he gets called up he's usually put on the fourth line as a forward, which totally does nothing for him to help the team. What I'd like to see? PK and Weber, on the powerplay, PK passes the puck to Weber for Weber to shoot with PK as the second option (like what Hamr does now). Hey look, it's the Bulldogs powerplay!<br /><br />No one remembers the rookie D in #68 flattening Lucic and taking the puck from him in the playoffs 2 years ago eh?Number31https://www.blogger.com/profile/04754429306690847476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-87440478048468238742010-12-03T08:06:13.807-11:002010-12-03T08:06:13.807-11:00It's good that Weber looked good and didnt mak...It's good that Weber looked good and didnt make any mistakes. The problem is that the Devils are not the flyers or the Sabres. <br /><br />Weber needs to prove himself against big, tough forwards. If he can handle the pounding then he will be ok. The last few years when the going got tough, Weber was lost.<br /><br />Eller is getting better and he and Pouliot have the makings of a pretty good line. If Pacioretty keeps it up we could have a second line with size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-38044410513299990762010-12-03T06:17:09.211-11:002010-12-03T06:17:09.211-11:00The devils are brutal, a very uncoordinated attack...The devils are brutal, a very uncoordinated attack despite lots of talent. They need time to become a team, but I can't see Mcclean lasting much longer. <br /><br />I agree that Weber looked great with 6 SOG and a quicker release on the shot from the point on the PP, which has been lacking. Subban might have to get used to the pressbox. It is similar to the O'Bryne/Picard situation.MCnoreply@blogger.com
