Auld is NOT a proven entity (heh, heh, I said enTITy). He has played well in his relief stints, but he also lost his starting position in Manitoba, so let's see how he does long term.
These wins in Nov and Dec mean nothing. Canucks used to have a history of tanking come Jan-Feb. Let's see if they can play well late season.
Why are all the Bertuzzi fans saying how great he's playing? He is still taking dumb penalties, still coughing up the puck with bad passes, still not back checking, still not scoring... How long can he use rust or a bad back as an excuse? He has had two good seasons and cashed in big time, but he's not being paid $6 million to collect assists. He still hasn't got a legitimate goal. He has always played in streaks so one of these days he'll score two or three in a game and the 'nuck fans will climax, bit then he'll do what he has a history of doing - disappearing for 8-12 games before potting another couple. Bertuzzi's fat contract will be Brian Burke's curse on the Canucks.
