Erik Karlsson Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is still my fav Weise moment of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver's comeback Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Disagree. Play any level of hockey, and you will realize you are pressured into making a play with a puck if there is a body coming at you. Nobody wants to get hit. If you see a Jordan Schroeder coming at you, you may take that split second to make the better play, but you still don't want to deal with the unpleasantries of getting hit.I throw a ping pong ball at you in the face. You will get out of the way. You won't absorb the impact even though it is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Last season he had the lowest GA/MIN out of any of our forwards playing defensive minutes and starting 80% of the time in the defensive zone (second most in the league next to Malhotra). He is still young, has good size, can skate well, and has showed a bit of skill in lower leagues. Our fourth line is supposed to get the puck out of the zone and change. Weise has done that well. He also finished in the offensive zone more often than most of our other players. He is third on the team with 29 hits and leads forwards in blocked shots (8). All together he is a fairly reliable player who can chip in physically and defensively, has some potential, and earns a small salary. If we were paying him 1.8 million i'd be frustrated but he is earning his paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure1994Mclean Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I like what Weise brings to the table, nothing spectacular, but he's a big body that hits/plays physical and has some offensive ability but helping chip in a goal here and there. Also many have mentioned that he's not a great fighter but he's willing to drop the gloves and fight and I think that's worth something. But I have to admit with Volpatti back this season he does what Weise does and then some. I've really been impressed with his play, he's physical, has some offensive aptitude, and can be punishing in many of his fights. I also remember when we pick him off waivers from the Rangers that they weren't happy we plucked him from them, so I guess maybe they saw something in him? As mentioned in the article, he has had some previous success in the AHL etc. in terms of offensive ability so it may just be a matter of time before he's a more complete fourth liner.

dangler696969 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 HE SUCKS! Am I right or am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dildo Faggins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I agree. I dont know what the hell he's doing on the team. The Rangers must have been so glad to get rid of him. During the off season, when I heard Gillis resigned Weise and Ebbett, I was like WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Im sure hes a character guy but someone has to tell me what this guys brings to the table. There has to be a better option even at this price point. I just dont see the positives. No hands, cant fight, cant pass. Perhaps when booth and kesler are ready, weiss might just be put on waivers.

ice orca Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 lol at all the hate here for the only forward on the whole team who gave enough of a crap to play somewhere during the lockout. Maybe he should "Bertuzzi" a Bruin or a Black Hawk next time we face them. Result: Instant fan favorite I would wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuretoMogilny Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Honestly Dale Weise should be waived. He thinks he is some skilled player, barely hits... and just does... well nothing. Would like a more bruising fourth liner. With that said, don't have anything to complain about his defensive game... he just does nothing good... just a body out there... at least its' still better then the likes of Glass and Ryan Johnson.

Sugar baby watermelon Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Does anyone remember when Kevin "Juice" Bieksa was the local whipping boy for a year or so, everyone was throwing him under the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A replacement for Torres? Give me a break. Torres is 100x the player Weise will ever be. Torres is the epitome of heart as well as pure nastiness. Even if Weise finds a bit of a scoring touch, he will never bring what Torres brung and continues to bring. The Canucks still have a void from not resigning Raffi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I agree..he really doesn't perform his role at all, just skates around fast, falls down and its the boards... I'm sure the nucks can find a cheaper, better role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
