Viggy is maddening at times. After watching the trio of games from this past weekend, its apparent that Burrows doesn't really work well with the twins. This move reminded me of the efforts to slot Matt Cooke between them a few years back, with everyone wishing it would work out, but knowing it would never do.
Chubby is the guy they need with the Twins. In the Pre-Holiness era, there was no obvious 2nd line to take some heat off the Twins, so they have needed a big body to help create space for them to work. Now with a 2nd line taking up some serious time of the opposing defenses, its time to put a player with the Twins that makes offensive sense; Chubby.
I've bagged on Chubby most of the season, but these past two games against Dallas and Phoenix, I was impressed with his tenacity, willingness to get in around the net and, dare I say it, speed! Chubby's hands are a little rusty having been doing nothing but propping up his chin in the press box lately...but that should wear off in due time.
