Nuckhead13 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No point comparing our current players to past players. He could be better could be not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanNuck Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I compared Schroeder to a more physical, two-way version of Patrick Kane. Actually, yeah Ronning isn't a bad comparison. Both undersized guys with heart and determination, plus skill. I'm impressed with Schroeder so far - now, if you just pair him with a big guy like Kassian, they'll do fine.

Barry_Wilkins Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 wow 2 goals and he is already cliff ronning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeDreamOfStanley Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Wow, if Ronning was a Canuck in todays NHL i would be pumped, looked at the points he put up as a tiny player in a monsters game during the clutch and grab NHL. Ronnings skill was phenomenal... impressive junior numbers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni_14 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 aside from being "too soon to tell," I'm happy to see him getting a quality shot this year. And even though he's not on my favorite team... I hope he plays good enough to get his number raised after he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think its having Schroeder who is playing much like a younger Kesler, but less physically intimidating. He's fast, can play a 2 way game, and has offensive skill; but looks for his team mates. And having the 8? months off to train and finally get his back right. He deserves a bounce back. But, Schroeders no Ronning yet,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehamburglar Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yes he got his back injured but before he did get injured, it wasn't like he was lighting up the scoresheet. I am more or less happy with this Raymond but I am concerned that he's only putting more effort because it's a contract year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THERETOOL Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I just dont think that jordan has the hands that cliff had .. Not even close .. I dont see him making an impact the way that cliff did either .. just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'd like to think that Schroeder can be something like Ronning. This being said, the season Ronning arrived here from St. Louis (he was 24) he scored 20 goals, and he had also scored 24 goals for the Blues a couple of seasons prior to the trade. Hopefully he can continue to improve at faceoffs, stays defensively reliable, and can put up something close to 20 goals per season. And if he could learn to be comfortable playing wing (should that be necessary), that might be useful as well. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cliff bled Green and Blue since the time he was old enough to skate. Jordan.Not. Cliff was a prolific goal scorer and set up man in an era where your head was taken off if you couldn't skate or mind your pints and quarts. Cliff had an 85 point season with the Canucks.56 assists in 79 gp. Jordan should not even be mentioned in the same breath as Cliff at this stage. Give it a rest for about five years and then come back and tell us where Jordan ranks alongside Cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Anyone see any similarities in the way Jordan Schroeder plays compared to Cliff Ronning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I agree and have said this before. The poster below said mayray = bure. I think the sarcasm is unwarranted. Ronning was a 60-70 pt player and a terrific second line center. I think schroeder has that upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Better than Linden,Courtnall and Bure and still the Canucks franchise insulted and degraded their very best: Both the Canucks and in particular Ronning rectified their poor regular season showing in the playoffs. The team went on an unexpected playoff run, finishing just one goal shy in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Ronning's 5 goals and 15 assists during that post season may be overshadowed by the likes of Bure, Trevor Linden, and Geoff Courtnall, but Ronning was a significant contributor to that magical post season run. The hometown hero added boyhood spunk to his already established reputation as a playoff warrior. John Davidson, colour man on the MSG/ESPN television broadcasts, was so impressed that he called Ronning "one of the top three forwards in the finals, perhaps Vancouver's best." In a match up that featured the likes of Bure, Linden, Mark Messier, Adam Graves and Alexei Kovalev, that is an impressive compliment. The Canucks fortunes sagged after the magical run, and soon the team was dismantled. One of the first players to leave, surprisingly, was Cliff Ronning. Ronning admitted he would have taken a discount to stay in Vancouver, but was insulted by the Canucks contract offer. http://canuckslegends.blogspot.com/2006/08/cliff-ronning.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
