- Not true ... Diduck is at best an average "offensive" defenceman on the
- Canucks. For pure offense, Jiri Slegr has all the tools necessary to
- be a 100 point player (no joke!)
- (unfortunately he is also a bit of an adventure in the defensive zone).
- Jyrki Lumme can also be an offensive "star" when his confidence is up.
- A marvelous fluid skater; he's definitely suffering this year from a lack
- of confidence. He seems too tentative to unleash those wonderful end to
- end rushes like he did last year. Diduck may have the hardest shot on the
- team, but he has little control on where the shot goes. Oh ... and he
- can't skate or pass :) ...
