kingofsurrey Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Is Nic Dowd a shiny new version of Jason Megma who was the new shiny version of Linden Vey..... Great garage sale finds ( super discounted ) that looked great once they first came home but didn't hold up very well with heavy usage..... Good teams are built through centre ice....... just sayin...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomorick Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Oh common Vey would look pretty good about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Naw Dowd is a solid 4th liner. Vey is an offensive guy who's not good enough for top 6 and too soft for bottom 6., Menga is a useless piece of trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not comparable. Everybody knows Dowd = Caput = Molino !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 [ (Dowd + Megna + Chaput) ^ Jim Agnew ] = [ (Gaunce + John McIntyre + Richard Park) ^ Marc Chouinard ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used extra parentheses to make the post easier to understand for everyone, but there's nothing mathematically incorrect about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Guys we should lay off this kid. He was brought in for a name that was just spinnin' his wheels. No skill, but he's giving a full effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Man, y'all some haters. Dowd shows some flashes here and there, same with Vey. Megna left a lot to be desired imo but we were hard up on bodies to ice at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 He's a serviceable fourth liner and that's all I expect from him. I'd take him over Megna any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowd > Subban that's all the matters Oh and JB brought him in for a career AHL'er to be depth and help for until Bo and Sutter are back Your view that 'good tems are built through centre ice is correct' but it also seems to be implying JB brought him in for an 1) Expensive asset -no 2) that he's meant to be a 'core' piece - such an implied statement is absurd Yes you build through center ice that's why right now when healthy we look like this Bo Henrik Sutter Granlund/Gauce/Dowd Future: Petersson Gaudette Why you're bellyaching about Dowd only you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 He's more of a Ryan Johnson imo... defensive player that provides minimal offense, although his defensive effectiveness is difficult to gauge at the moment given how awful we look as a whole. Vey and Megna were given boatloads of opportunities in offensive roles where they didn't belong. Dowd is purely a bottom six guy and he's fine in that role, so as long as he doesn't get put on the PP or with the Sedins like Megna inexplicably did, I have no problems with him being in the lineup.

Quantum Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 In fairness to Vey, he was dealing with some pretty heavy personal stuff around the time he was with the Canucks. (I mean his father did conspire to murder his mother with his mistress)... I'd have a hard time playing hockey at the highest level with that in the back of my head all the time. I think being in the KHL has let him to find his game. He's still young enough to make one more run in the NHL. Question will be when??? and with who???

Really gives a chance for the other centres to step up.... too bad they ( Granlund/Gauce/Dowd ) haven't seized the opportunity...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
