LuongoSweep Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 This guy is just all heart, honestly. I've been watching him since the start of the season, and he does the role of "energy fourth-liner" incredibly well. He leads the Canucks in hits, some of which are absolutely massive checks. Lapierre never stops bringing his game and speed to the highest level, even on such limited minutes. A Canucks 4th-liner, easily a 2nd or 3rd liner on any other team, manages to have a 3 point night against a hungry Dallas team (1 G 2 A). This is why the Canucks are touted around the NHL for having the best depth in forwards. Not to mention Lapierre is one of the best crap-disturbers in the NHL, fights decently, and has great size + speed for hard hits. I think he's one of the focal points of this "gritty" edge that the Canucks have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 After what he's been saying about #40, lizard man Tony Gallagher must be choking on a mouthful of bugs right now after seeing what Lapierre did tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, Lappy got 3 points tonight, but he's no second liner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_City123 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 He was a beast tonight. Great energy from him for that first line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 He wouldn't even be a second liner in Calgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V1P3Rleader Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 How long does his contract last for? I'm gonna miss Lappy, unless we keep him. I'm praying we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clam linguine Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 He is more than just heart, he is talent. This line is the answer. Daniel to play with Kesler. How could anyone argue? Lapierres speed and grit combined with Burrows similar attributes allow Henrik to shine. Daniel can bring the crafty skill to the second line, where it is needed.

Hotdawg Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Lappys always been one of my favourite Canucks since we got him. He's always showed hustle, skill, and huge b***s. And what a smile!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 was he playing with Burrows and Hank when Burr scored his goal? Or did AV shuffle the lines again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure1994Mclean Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 One of the many guys on the team that excels at his role and there's no overlooking his intangibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
