davebabychisback Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Broken Back = Paralysis or not. That was 10 months ago. Amazing recovery, got us the GWG tonight. Plays great defensively every night, under the microscope of the World, and you Bums feel the need to criticze him? Try Praising him, if you plan on judging him. To me, the guy is amazing, just like Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiAd Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It is funny how everyone starts the ass kissing because he got the GWG today. He is still terrible: Step 1:Skate Step 2:Skate Step 3: Circle around and not pass Step 4: Fall down Step 5: Lose puck Step 6: Repeat steps 1-5 until traded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP1990 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I do not want Raymond. Ive wanted him gone the past couple of years. He is weak on his skates. Lacks vision. Not a great shot. Nothing personal, I feel a change of scenary would benefit everyone. He would probably excel in Calgary, unfortunatly for us we're in the same division so it likely wouldnt happen unless he becomes a UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebabychisback Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 He'll still be here cause the 2nd line apart from permanent centre has been revived now with the move of Kesler to the 3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I am going to put myself out there and make the thread. Raymond? Do we really want him? Pros: Fast Skater, Defensively Reliable, Plays PK Cons: Poor Vision, Doesn't use his team mates, Afraid to go to the net, Weak along the boards, Physically Weak. Ever since the Canucks upgraded 2nd line wing from Raymond to Booth, I finally see a player that I had hoped Raymond would eventually become. Someone who will utilize his speed to go around the defencemen on the outside and still have the balls to cut hard to the net. After the acquisition of Booth, we saw a slight improvement in Raymond's play as he was finally going into the tough areas. I was personally hoping that the healthy competition had finally lit a spark under Raymond and he was ready to change his style of play which would be more beneficial to the team. After many months, I see Raymond's style of play will never change. It is what it is. Raymond will 1) Go around the defencemen on the outside, circle BEHIND the net and then a) Pass to the near side d-man Make an ill-advised cross ice pass to the other d-man which will get tipped or intercepted. (The redeeming fact of this error is that Raymond has already circled the net and is skating back up towards the blueline so he has had a head start on the back-check) 2) Raymond will also ALWAYS shoot on a 2-1. The goalie might as well not even worry about the 2nd forward and just play Raymond. Goalie should also make sure he's standing in the middle of the net because the puck is going to hit him in the crest like a bulls-eye What Mason needs to understand is, He would be making a million more per season if he 1) Went around the d-man on the outside and then CUT to the net which would lead to drawing a hooking penalty or a goal by him OR creating a rebound chance for Hansen or Coho. This is what the 2nd line is now doing to create goals with Kes, Higgins and Booth. If Raymond does this, his line will be more productive and he will actually be using his speed in a productive manner. Now here's the real question. At a modest 2.55M and going into RFA this summer we know exactly what Raymond brings to this team. Is Raymond worth keeping as a 3rd liner for the playoffs on a Cup Contending team or, is someone in the system already more than capable of filling his role and is Raymond expendable in order to acquire additional help or upgrades in other positions?

nuck nit Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Raymond has scored three times in the last 25 GP. To get a GWG today is as good as it gets for Mason right now. It could not have come at a better time for him or the team. No matter what happens to him come Monday,this should help his confidence going forward.

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Meh, gotta take it with a grain of salt, these are the same people who wanted to run Luongo out of town because he had a rough start this year. I've said it before - the Canucks have some of the most short-sighted fans in history. If you don't believe me, search "Trade Hodgson" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I believe he only gets 2nd line minutes because management is desperately trying to boost his value. ...NOT WORKING! One good goal doesn't negate how bad a player he is. The worst part is how he can't elevate his game at all in the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself "why do I really dis-like Mr. Raymond so much? Am I jealous cause he's cute, successful etc., and I'm not? What do you think Mr. Shmo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
