?? When did I say I was a Gomez believer??
Methinks you project too much.
What I said was that I do not believe a team can succeed, and I mean get out of the East, with a line up of three non-physical centers. Whether it is Habs-era Ribeiro, Koivu, Plekanec, Gomez, DD etc....
Pick one small center, build appropriately around him. More than 1 is a blueprint to playoff failure. Durability is an imporant aspect of an 82 game regular season and a possible 28 game playoff season.
For the record, I think DD has good skill as a passer, and he is slowly getting acclimatized to the speed and intensity of the NHL. Besides the last game, he has been unable to control the puck as he carries it past the offensive blueline. Imagine, that is against the 3rd pairing of D from the opposing teams.
