Nathan Gerbe - Future Talent on the Way

Has there ever been such a dynamic and enthusiastic prospect as Nathan Gerbe before? Last night he potted 3 goals to lead Portland over Worcester.
It isn’t just his scoring or his disproportionate size to most other players that makes him shine, but rather his Favre like enthusiasm approach to the game.
This is really the difference between Ovechkin and Crosby, one plays with a smile on his face and the other seems to sour his mood after every play. With Gerbe you get talent, determination, along with a brilliant smile. You just have to see him play to believe it - he’s not just punching a work ticket each time he gets on the ice, but rather the arena seems to be where he comes to life.

There is not a player that I have watched that I hate more than I hate Nathan Gerbe. He is a despicable, little rat with the IQ of an acorn. I know there isn’t really supposed to be name-calling here, but just watch the jerk play. Yes, he has amazing skill, especially for a little guy, but he is one of the cheapest players around. I go to Boston University, rival of his former team, Boston College. I can’t count the number of times I saw him commit a needless slash on one of our guys, with or without the puck. It’s even more interesting when I find out that the BC hockey team had to appeal when Gerbe originally was not admitted to the school for academic reasons. BU stopped trying to recruit him very early, as his academics did not stand a chance of gaining him admission. BC claims to be a better school, well it’s nice to know that they treat athletes as superior. Once he gets to the NHL, which I think he can do with his skill, he’s going to cheap shot the wrong guy, and someone is finally going to teach him the lesson he’s always deserved to learn.
