pistolpro327 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Anyone who thinks we need a fighter is wrong. We need big skilled guys up front that can throw monster hits which are legal and not penalized that make the opposing team have to think about it the entire game everytime they're on the ice. That is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 BULL****. We have some players who can protect themselves, but none who can protect others! Bieksa, Ballard, Lapierre, etc. are all guys who can look out for themselves, but none are causing any goons from taking shots at the Sedins -- and there's absolutely no debating this.

PrimeMinisterBure Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 He would have to play with the Sedins to act as any kind of deterrent..... that's not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler_smash Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Seems like all the goon lovers are out today making these total nonsense threads. I'm with Gillis on this one, in my opinion the role of the goon is slowly being phased out of the NHL. I don't understand how this type of player is any deterrent to players taking liberties with star players, other than by jumping some guy who isn't willing to fight, taking an instigator and putting the team short handed. On top of that I don't really see the Sedins getting pushed around in a way that is so serious it would require this type of response. I love when people bring up Gretzky having Semenko...this was what? 1987 sorry but hockey is a completely different game today than it was then and I am glad that the goon is slowly going extinct. I don't watch hockey for fighting and gooning I watch it for speed and skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookie Wilson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i think putting kassian with the sedins whenever a game gets heated is good enough i hate this argument the sedins are grown men , and henrik has been throwing hits and pushing players off him lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer&meat Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You have absolutely no idea how hockey works. You really think that a player has to literally be beside another at all times to provide protection for another..? So, if a line on which a player that just threw a nasty hit on a Sedin just iced the puck, AV can't throw out the fourth line to pay that player back for his action??? I'm totally mistaken on my entire knowledge of hockey in this case. Thank you for your informative post. Now please return to playing with your mobile and abacus.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, geat idea, call up a fighter for the that time of the season when fighting almost never happens!! When was it that Daniel received that nasty elbow last year..? That's right just a couple weeks before playoffs, causing the team to lose its best player and essentially killing its hopes for any significant impact in the playoffs. YET ANOTHER GREAT IDEA FROM ONE OF CDC'S MANY RESIDENT GENIUSES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Henrik's been forced to try to protect himself because no one else will provide it for gim. So you've got a guy who's 180 lbs. soaking wet, can fight, can't hit, can't intimidate anyone, and is supposed to be the leading offense provider for the team trying to push around men twice his size and whose sole job it is to throw Henrik off his. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawkSniper Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 And which defenseman would he bump? Having a goon defenseman in the box for 5 minutes a game doesn't do us any good. It just means that the rest of our D have to play with different partners and play more minutes. Which increases our chance of losing. And the other teams goons will take advantage of this. If we're gonna get a tough guy, we need to get one that can also play. Vandermeer is not that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING ALBERTS Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I remember Gretzky having Semenko as a linemate from time to time. He couldn't play worth crap but being on the line opened up so much ice for Gretzky and kept opposing teams honest. For some reason Gillis has refused to budge on this even though the whole league knows the Cancuks are soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
