Middle-Class man's review: Johnny Bucyk

Other

Hey y'all, its been a while since I did a review so lets do one! Today we up the scale and review Johnny Bucyk. Please note that I wont go in high-end reviews and continue to review players less than 100k, mostly between 0-50k. But hey, here we go!

Skating: 9 boys this guy's skating is really damn good, he's a bit like backstrom. But wait! Why did I give an 8 to backstrom? One thing: Bucyk's endurance... This guy is a man of Iron, he can maintain speed and agility for long shifts. Really impressed...

Shooting: 11 Cant say more the guy is a pure sniper. Backhand forehand, far, close you name it. If the puck isnt in the back on the net its gonna be soooo close or it will end with a juicy rebound. Nothing bad to say here.

Hands: 8.5 Bucyk has some very niflty mitts, he is well above average and can make some very precise dekes in some very crowded areas. He also has insane puck control. I could give him a 9 but his dekes dont cover as much space and his passing is just ok.

Defense/Physical 8 for defense 8.8 physical: Defensively johnny aint half-bad, hes got a decent poke and good positioning. Above average, would use on the PK. Physically Bucyk isnt that big, yet he can throw some damn good hits, hes not a Brent Burns but for his size hes strong on the puck and can deliver some solid hits.

BONUS: Bucyk gets 193 extra points for not having a helmet. He lose 50 points because hes a bruins and loses 20 points for making opponments quit when they see him on the matchup screen.

Agree? Disagree? Let me know! Next review: Let me know who you want! Pacioretty,Weber, krejci or Morgan Rielly?
