Teodor Bluger, a Latvian striker from the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL), has no potential to become the team leader, but he makes the team stronger, according to Joshe Johe, a journalist for North American media The Athletic.
It has already been reported that on Wednesday, March 9, Blugers and the Penguins conceded 3: 4 to the Florida Panthers at home. The Latvian returned to the court for the first time since January 23, when in a match against Winnipeg “Jets” broke his jaw, and in 13 minutes and 45 seconds on the ice, made two throws on the opponents’ goal, used three force techniques and won 55% of the throw. Due to jaw surgery, Blugers missed 16 games.
“Bluger returned to the ranks after several weeks of release due to a jaw fracture and played well. Not surprisingly, the exchange of the Bļģeris with Zek Eston-Rice and Brock McGain was a pretty good night. Their lineup did not score, but did several positive things for the team. It is one of the best fourth shifts in the league, and it is clear that [galvenais treneris] Sullivan will leave these guys together. ” expressed the viewer. “Brian Boyle did a great job replacing Bluger and is a good player, but the penguins look different from Theodore on the square because of the speed of his feet. Bluger will never be a star, but he can be a real difference maker. ”
“The center’s position on the team is well staffed, and they know it,” Johe continued. “Sydney Crosby, Eugene Malkin, Jeff Carter and Theodore Bluger are probably the best center attackers in the league. If anyone is injured, Evans Rodriguez can be a good substitute. ”
This season, Blugers has played in 41 matches, scoring eight goals and nine assists. The Penguins are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 77 points in 58 games, while the Panthers are in second place with 83 points in 57 dues.
