garthsbutcher Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Im just not seeing what he brings to the table any more. There is zero offensive upside at this point, the hits are soft at best and dont get me started on losing a fight to Vernon Fiddler. Please just go get Konopka who can actually win some draws, fight and has atleast the same limited offensive upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lappy had a bad game last night in the defensive zone, but that's just one game. I'll give you that stupid, useless fight in the Dallas game, but he was hardly alone on that crappy night. All in all, Lappy's awesome on the PK, grinds with the best of them, and has a smirk that apparently makes other players lose their *&^%. And so far this season he has 4 points, including 1 goal, and is a +2 (tying him for 7th on our team for +/-). Oh, and he's won 51.4% of face offs. (Other than the face off god Manny, only Kesler has done better at 53.8%.) What else do you want from hiim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightasrain Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lappy is doing well in my opinion. He does need to hit more, but no one is playing well right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Lapierre, like most Canucks, is overrated on this team. Can't believe he even got a look on our third line. I just don't get him, he's a fourth line grinder, but can't fight... So what can be do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's one of our best players in the playoffs, there's no point in him going and laying people out, barely anyone else on our team finishes their checks besides Booth. I'm really disappointed in Kassians physical play. I don't get MG, Lappy sucks at fighting so he waives Volpatti our only guy who's good at fighting and hitting consistently and were stuck with Weise who loses every single fight. I don't care if he has a bit more skill then Volpatti we're a soft team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He has led the team in hits ever since we got him. 2010-2011 194 hits (Hansen was in 2nd with 149 hits) 2011-2012 244 hits (Bieksa was 2nd with 159 hits) 2012-1013 46 hits (Volpattie is 2nd with 42 hits) also konopka season high in points is 9... Lapierre's is 28. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's been nothing short of awful so far this year, especially last game. I think him bulking up as much as he did has really hurt his speed. His forecheck is no where near as effective and he's not hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsedin33 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hes a great 4th line center. And even if he wasn't he is the least of our concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 He's nowhere near the worst bang-for-the-buck on this team. We have players doing the same, making 3x as much. Lappy is the least of our worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'd be more concerned with Kesler's horrible play then what's happening on the fourth line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
