devhead17 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Nuff said. I haven't seen him complete a pass to anyone this year. He just gets the puck and throws it away. It's like watching a little kid who doesn't know how to play the game. Anyone know when his contract is up? That's a roster spot that can be better filled with someone (Corrente) else. Disclaimer: I know he's pretty much blind in one eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin signed a very long term contract last year. Sucks for you. I think Colin has had some good games and some bad games this year.... so generally okay for me. Colin's best period tonight has been the overtime period... he is really doing well stopping Ovechkin.

thefiestygoat Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Didn't we have this thread last week? I agree with Don, he has some good and some bad games,although I'd say more good ones. I think he is solid on the blue line for the Devils and I'm glad he's on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOULAM1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Colin White: With the amount of money a decent dman is getting today, he's fine. Rip on Gionta as he must begin to put the puck in the net. Crazy. Edited October 19, 2008 by LOULAM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck27 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 His complete inability to move the puck is undeniable...will only hurt the team in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip on Gionta as he must begin to put the puck in the net. Crazy. Yea I don't think Gio will be in a Devils sweater after this season... or maybe even during. He's not a terrible player but he can't score and we already have a couple guys who fill that defensive forward role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prucenterrules Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 White played fine today. Atleast he didn't put the puck in our own net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck, I've argued the same point in the past about White and understand your point. Right now he's a bargain! Can u believe that? White will stay at home, protect Marty and use his body in the corners. You would not get much in return for him and realizes his role right now which is do not take dumb f'in penalties like Salvatore tonight.

nmigliore Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) Ive liked White's play so far.. he had one awful game and that was opening night.. hes been great since. Hes being much more physical.. Hes not supposed to be a puck moving d-man, how can you expect him to make beautiful perfect tape-to-tape passes.. He makes decent passes and chips it up the boards/off the glass to get the pucks to the wingers/out of the zone edit: Oh BTW hes a +4 rating to start the season, so its not like hes on the ice for a bunch of goals against.. its quite the opposite Edited October 19, 2008 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes decent passes and chips it up the boards/off the glass to get the pucks to the wingers/out of the zone He's in the NHL...every single player in the league should be able to make a tape to tape pass, it's a fundamental skill. The probelm with Whitey is everytime he does chip it off the boards and out of the zone the puck doesn't end up on a teammates stick. It goes directly to the other team's defenseman for a quick regroup, and guess what? The puck is back in the Devils zone in a hurry. And it's not like it happens once or twice a game, it's just about every time White touches the puck. Yea, he clears the zone and plays a physical game, but his puck moving abilities are beyond awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which obviously means even when hes doing all of these turnovers (as you claim) the opposing team isn't scoring... If hes turning over the puck that much he would be a -4, trust me...

If hes turning over the puck that much he would be a -4, trust me... I'm not talking about his defensive play...strictly about his puck moving abilites. Clearing the zone and moving the puck to an open teammate are two entirely different things. Every time, EVERY TIME he gets the puck he fires it up the boards without even attempting to find an open forward. Hell, I'd be impressed if he even threaded a D to D pass. Can he clear the zone...yes. Can he move the puck to open teammates? No, he's proven himself to be completely incompetent.

Dude--the more you argue the weaker your argument sounds--we all get that he isn't a great puck moving defenseman but he is playing well, has the highest plus/minus on the team so far this year, and most definately isn't a bum.

It was White who broke up that odd man rush in OT against the Pens setting up the winning goal. Heck he even got the assist. How huge was that?
