Zissou Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would much rather be the first team to beat them in regulation than see Keith get smoked. Ideally I would see both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancity_77 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A little off topic but do you have to put a space on either side of a comma? Cause if so, I have been doing it wrong my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Kassian cannot be used as an enforcer as he is far too valuable for that. One concussion and this kid is brain injured and heading down the trajectory. Gillis better get some bigger forwards in lieu of the soft/small ones that remain on this team.

DaMacNamedDre Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 the worst thing that could happen for DuncanKeith is Chicago to get a big lead early. I could see our boys running him if the game gets out of hand, and im 100% ok with that. Keith deserves a beating. a savage beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eretz canucks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 guys that woudl happily drop their gloves against Hawks Weiss Volpatti Kassian Lappy Burrows Bieksa Ballard I sure hope there is no Bertuzzi incident, and while I would love Keith's head on a spit, I think we really just need the 2 points and to play a physical game while avoiding injuries. Keith should be man enough to fight at the first request and if he does, I believe that will settle it and we can move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 canucks need the 2 points. Get them, that's it. No injuries. Challenge Keith to a fight, do not play dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spentral Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 i agree with scott hartnells mane %100. fear is a mind killer. he will be rushing his passes and quitting in the corners, everyone will be waiting for something to happen. just play hard, finish ALL of your checks, and win the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbanks Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thats the thing , we didnt bring Kassian in to be a goon , We brought him here to be Amazing. He has all the talent in the world , and he is playing with the Sedins because of his talent . I love KASS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 i hope there is a line brawl and many cheap shots its the only way to get things done around here and if there isnt at least 1 person getting bertuzzi'd i will be upset. take the suspension kassian thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 doubt it, it will either be Mayers or Bollig and Roszival will probably slot in ahead of Brookbank if the past is any indication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 he hasnt scored a goal outside of 5 feet from the net and most of them empty nets .... he has to play with the sedins because they are the only ones slow enough he can keep up with and they are the only line mates that require you to just stand in one place infront of the net and wait for the empty net feed.... hes playing like anson carter. smart enough to know if he just goes to the net he will get his tap ins..... problem is sedins make anyone look good but burrows helped them be better by also setting the sedins up for goals and being more involved in the cycle rather than just sittin infront of the net.... both sedin has already been accused of having a slow start but they dont work towards the slot or net anymore due to its always occupied by zack.... im not rippin on zack hes playing good im rippin on all these people who say hes got all this talent hes 1-1 in fights volpatti throws bigger hits and 4 of his 5 goals have been tap ins and has shown 0 play making ability with 0 assists i love kassian too and has huge upside but i think people need to settle down a bit.

CanuckFan1981 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I am pleasantly surprised with Kassian's development. I think the lockout gave him the headstart on the season that he needed. Hodgson has more high end offensive skill, period. However, Kassian has the "truculance" that every hockey person in Canada has been saying we lacked the last few years. With all that being said, I do not think Kassian and Volpatti changed us from being the "weak sisters" to the tough guy team some are implying we now are. Did any of you watch the LA game? When they hustled and worked hard they physically dominated us and left our guys scared along the boards. Yes we are tougher than last year, but we didn't change from being a finesse team to a Bruin's or Flyer's style goon squad. The only difference is the Sedin's are playing with a big body on the wing instead of another small quick guy (that gets punched every whistle). It should help in the short term and once Kes is back we will be a Win machine again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derr12 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I don't know that we particularly have to get bigger forwards... we are pretty decent in that category right now (well when Kesler and Booth get back it is an improvement over Schroeder and Raymond). Maybe a reasonably tough guy for the 3rd line at most. We could certainly use a little beef on the back end though, our defence is not exactly causing any worry for opposing forwards coming into our zone. Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Booth-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Lapierre-Hansen Volpatti-Malhotra-Weise (guys that can drop the mitts in bold) Kesler isn't a fighter really compared to real tough guys, but he is a decent one for a top 6 guy and he isn't going to be putting himself out of the lineup unless he is taking out another 30 goal scorer. He and Iginla have gone at it pretty good. Our third line is the only one without a legitimate pugilist to keep guys honest. On the back end, Ballard is probably our best fighter followed up by Bieksa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
