Tortorella's Rant Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Pinizzotto brings everything Weise does, except he can also provide offense. Pinizzotto>>Weise Pinizzotto - Lapierre - Volpatti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 who cares about past players hes going to play like 1 minute a night once again , his age doesnt matter and who cares if he doesnt hold onto a spot why is this 4th line 3 shifts a night position this important to you your acting like hes taking top six minutes or if the canucks give him a shot they lose anything no one loses , if he does good , the canucks are happy , if he doesnt w/e its a 4th line spot no ones hyping him up to be anything ,you're over thinking this bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw604 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 When he was a ufa. All 29 teams were looking at pizz. He decided to choose the Canucks because he was offered a higher Ahl salary. He is one of the higher paid Ahl-ers in the league. He's a good 4th liner that is willing to drop the mitts and can skate well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 He should bulk up some more so he doesnt break a bone everytime he hits someone hard lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't think his body will let him get in NHL, sorry to say. He looks great in games sometimes but injuries happen so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Torres 2.0? I'd be so amped to see him in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Stevie's our Rocky Balboa Hey, also with all due respect 3rd and 4th line positions often go to the guy playing with the most desperation. Isbister had more talent than Pinner, but never made it cuz he never played with desparation. Guys, like Manny and Torres, did because they learned they were goint to wash out unless they adjusted. Pinnizotto plays with that desparation. If his body allows it; he'll get a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I would love for him to be called up. Hopefully he gets an opportunity when he becomes healthy. All due respect to Steve, but he's soon to be 29 years old and has never played an NHL game for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Agreed. Pinizzotto's 0 points in 0 games is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Don't take anything out of context; this ain't over 35's beer league softball. (sorry Kirp somewhere) Amongst the last 10 guys cut each year; virtually all have enough athletic ability and talent. A little extra athletic ability or talent helps; but what you want is the dog that wants it most! And then they often only last 3 or 4 years as complacency allows a hungrier dog to surface. But Pinner appears the hungriest dog right now, if you have been watching the Wolves this year. We may not need him for 6 years. And after a life trying, even a couple years at $700 or $800 grand is a bonus and a 35 plus beer league bragging story. We'll just have to wait and see. If desperation = NHL roster spot, we'd all be in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 We need to take a look at this guy in the NHL. He is probably an offensive upgrade over our current batch of 4th liners and is as physical as any of them. Even the most minimal offensive improvement would be welcome right now.

Ray_Cathode Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Canucks were also high on Isbister, Richtie, and Marc Chouinard, Keith Carney and Eric Weinrich. Let me know how many players @ the old age of 29 have made the NHL and actually held onto a roster spot permanently. There's a reason why players like Pinozotto missed the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The league has clearly shifted toward the power game especially in the playoffs were our softer forwards of our bottom 6 are exposed.The right balance of hitting gets higher turnovers and slows down opposition attack.and works down low and in the crease gets the dirty garbage goals and stuff ins.I say if Pinzo helps all the better or find some.

thehamburglar Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Pretty much this. I think he could be a decent fringe NHL player, but injuries just killed his chances. It seems this is just one guy who the hockey gods have destined to never make the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dildo Faggins Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It would be nice if he could join the team but this guy gives Salo a good run for the money in the contest for most injury prone player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
