DaMacNamedDre Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Its a joke that we don't have a bonafide enforcer on this team. but hey, we re-signed Mason Raymond. Where Bitz at ? we need Bitz + one super thug, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Volpatti NO QUESTION. For those saying Bieksa, everyone knows he picks his spots and does not fight legitimate fighters very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WL Canuck Fan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He picks his spots, but he is our best pound for pound fighter and the most exciting plus he wins a lot more often... Kassian has fought tougher opponents, simply why I picked him. * I like 'em both when it comes to the fist a cuffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 His fight with Ben Eager was one for the ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He picks his spots? Like Jamal Mayers last year, or Aaron Voros the year before, or Crombeen twice the year before that, or Ben Eager the year before that. Do you guys even watch Canucks games? BTW, highest salary paid among the aforementioned players, 1.3M per year. What do you suppose they get paid to do, be a top 4 or 6 of anything? Kassian has had 3 NHL and 1 AHL fight IN HIS WHOLE CAREER. AHL, vs Garnet Exleby, result? Kassian lost. NHL vs Brad Staubits, result? Kassian lost. NHL vs Tom Sestito, result KASSIAN WON HIS ONLY NHL/AHL FIGHT NHL vs Matt Martiun, result, a draw. So where in the name of Sam Hill does anyone get the idea Kassian is an elite fighter at all? Ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous. Kevin Bieksa Zack Kassian Look for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Doesn't really matter, I don't so much want our guys to win fights, i'd prefer they lose by split decision and then score after the 5 mins is up :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawkdrummer Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 When it comes to "dropping the gloves" that list is rather pathetic but.... That's why we traded for Zach, he's got the size with a combination of skill and nastiness. Give him time to mature and he'll be our "Lucic" type power forward.

aqua59 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I Bieksa but if he's their toughest fight Gillis needs to keep looking. You can't Bieksa doing your dirty work with the chance of getting hurt. I see Bieksa as tough when he needs to be but an enforcer no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwnuck Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's a legitimate label. Basically evens the playing field down to fighting skill and relative strength rather than size. Juice isn't gonna beat down any 7' monsters, but that doesn't mean he isn't the better fighter, hence pound for pound. Not many guys Bieksa couldn't hang with if all were sitting at 5'11 190.

biznasty Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can I ask why Hansen is even on the list? That's like saying Hamhuis is a regular fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
