shawn antoski Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Lets face it, ever since we gave up Rypien and O'brian, other teams have been tossing the canucks around like rag dolls. No disrespect too players like Kesler,Burrows,Bieska and Lapierre, they are hard working players that play a physical game , but come on they are not Intimidating at all. The canucks have always had enforcers as far back as I can remember, but now in days I think Bieska might be are toughest player. I miss having guys like Rypien, Hordichuck , Brashear, Odjick, and Shawn Antoski. I'm not saying lets give up all are skill for a goon but i wouldnt mind a fighter as a 4th liner or a 6th dman edit: responding to the most popular post Posted A minute ago /index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=10651470">goalie13, on 15 May 2012 - 12:39 PM, said: So who are the enforces contributing in the Stanley Cup playoffs right now? /index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=10651547">Snake Doctor, on 15 May 2012 - 01:55 PM, said: EXACTLY 2012 playoffs so far 39 fights or major penalties 2011 playoffs 29 fights or majors through out the whole playoffs 2010 playoffs 23 fights or majors all together team toughness, intimidation and enforcers are needed.

Canada Hockey Place Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes a real enforcer who can play D for 25+ minutes a game. Or a real enforcer who can score 30 goals. If the Canucks can sign either of those on a league minimum ELC, they'd be in good shape. Seriously though.. enforcers can't do anything if the system they play within doesn't let them. So i don't see the point. Maybe hire Tim hunter as an assistant. That might change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 if the canucks wanted an enforcer they would have picked one up on waivers.....bitz type of players are the new age "enforcer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gage Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 wow, not only has there been a million threads on this topic already ( its called a search button) but this team couldnt possibly be any further from needing goons on it. your worse than the pathetic media trying to claim the team is being thrown around. try watching a game, this team is plenty physical enough!

Dogbyte Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ummm, I don't recall enforcers preventing any rough play myself. Tough guys with size that play the game. Bring them on. So no. No enforcer, they are dead to the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangunner Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 "O'brian" bahahaha that is funny in more ways then one. Nucks need bigger bodies that can bang and drop gloves when required. Travis Moen, Gaustad, Simmonds, Brouwer, Chimera types of players are what nucks should be after. Luongo for JVR and Simmonds...drool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes, indeed. It's how teams have won Cups in the past and how they are still currently won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels22 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 We just need a goon to play in 1 game each round, so he can give their other teams star a headshot/concussion, and then get suspended... Other team's star is out, Our team's goon is out.. Win-Win situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes we should re-sign Bitz. Not just because he can fight (yes better than Kassian), but also because Hansen & Kassian are our only natural right wingers. if the canucks wanted an enforcer they would have picked one up on waivers.....bitz type of players are the new age "enforcer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn antoski Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yet your examples included guys like Gino and Brashear. I agree on the team toughness side of things, but I don't think there is any need in the playoffs for a pure enforcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
