Dubinsky is a solid, home-grown, Will-do-anything-for-club player with a giant upside. If any of you johnny-come-lately tools wanna come along and trash him...Boo!
@Beckfan5 that's an excellent question. It's not looking good right now. BUt I would say the same thing that I would say to Fedotenko detractors; this is a player that you want on your team, forget the stats. I guess we'll see

Woohoo! MDZ had a great game, Gabby on fire, sweet goal from Dubi, Richards kinda quite, Cally provided the energy & Biron is an awesome #2! To all the Dubi haters, Gabs was in the same boat last year & I didn't see anyone on here calling for him to get sent to the AHL & fuck him etc! And he's not even a homegrown player!
A. Because Gaborik was hurt last season
B. Because Gaborik doesnt randomly fall down
C. Because Gaborik doesnt miss the net 8 out of 10 times
D. Because it is only his 2nd goal this season in the 32nd game played
Pull your pants back up.
BTW, Gaborik already has 20 this season. That's 2 more than what Dubinsky had in his career year last season.
@Beckfan5 Because Gaborik doesnt miss the net 8 out of 10 times, cept on SO!
I just don't understand getting on a player when they are in a slump, not trying yes, slump no.

@skev303@Beckfan5 Lets not forget how he dissappeared at the end of the season last year. He did nothing when we needed him most. The guy is so overpaid its unbelievable. His holdouts in negotiations were disgusting. He used Cally as leverage comparing himself to him but he has to face the facts he is nothing like Cally and never will be. Homegrown talent what does that even matter??? He would leave this team in a second for a bettter contract. He has already shown he is crazy about money holding out until the last days.
I never liked Dubinsky never will. He doesn't belong or deserve to be on the line with Richards or Cally. This guy needs to be buried in the ahl. 1 goal on the season??? With the minutes he gets??? Fuck him
@TheKing back off Dubinsky, noob. I realize you've just discovered hockey, so I'll give you a pass. Jagr might have a different take on Dubi...
