Dildo Faggins Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Couldnt you just say chronic problem or recurring problem? Perpertual means eternal or everlasting. Some day the Canucks wont be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigbond Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 http://mirtle.blogsp...ht-and-age.html isn't it funny how we are not as light or small as many on the boards assume? In fact we are heavier and taller than Boston and Chicago Maybe we should stop fixating on actual size and think about why we play so small when we are actually a pretty big team...

nucklehead Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Go ahead, say big bodies one more time. That'll sell your argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Kassian is pretty much a rookie. imho He is ready for a top-6 role now but he needs to be put with the twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 so you want big bodies? do they need to have a big, good looking body about 6-5 235lbs measured? (just like Dan Darrasio of bc lions fame wants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I agree with TOMapleLaughs Kassian should be playing with the Sedins. This makes the other lines better as Burrows moves to the second line and so on. . Especially with Kesler out this is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WL Canuck Fan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 yes he counts... he's got real good hands and from prince george. he has caused us a lot of greef in the past. i would like to see him suit up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xur Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Lets put Schroeder on waivers cause he is too small and trade Luongo for Buttfuglin and drop Ballard and then pick up Volpatti back. lol yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Why would you mess with the top scoring line? Burrows is a better match with the twins. He knows exactly where to be, all the time. He's like the 3rd 'twin'. Kass needs to work on his game and earn his way up the lines. I would like to see him get some PP minutes, as he has the size to create havoc for the goalie and is good at chip ins. Hopefully his game will improve so that he can be put on the Sedin line if another team starts to work them over. IMO Kassian is a project that will take some time to reach his potential.

Rink on Renfrew Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Agreed. We play smaller than we are and always have. The only exception to that has been Torres and sometimes Lappy. However I would say that a lot of the Canucks' issues right now stem from the fact that they know they play too small and are adjusting. Henrik throwing 2 hits in a period used to be unheard of. Canucks players throwing down as often as we have this season (and winning!) is also a rare sight. The team is clearly trying to get a feel for how to play a physical game, and are struggling because they must maintain sound defensive positioning at all times (which rarely allows for a big hit). As they start to see teams back off from the puck due to the physical threat, I think they'll really hit their stride though. I've already seen serious changes in how the Canucks play that lead me to believe AV is not nearly as stagnant as CDC thinks, but totally transforming our game isn't going to happen overnight, and it's going to result in growing pains, like what we're seeing now.

CanucksJay Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 As one of the comments on that page reads: "It would be amazing to see a similar chart normalizing height and weight over icetime, to see who truly was the most effectively big. Right now you would have small-minute guys like John Scott creating a distortion that isn't really there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't think big bodies are the key. You also have to be injury free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kack Zassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 To make matters worse, our big bodies (4th line) are not a scoring threat. It's a bad sign when we can't trust our 4th line to chip in 60 combined points let alone defend our own and bash the hell out of the other teams' 1st line. A talented, hockey-playing big body will cost us. And, unfortunately, GMMG does not seem to want to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 OP has it: "A talented, hockey-playing big body will cost us. And, unfortunately, GMMG does not seem to want to pay."OP I might add that other GM's don't buy what Gillis is offering.One would think with Luo as the trade bait this would not be so difficult a task.

CanucksSayEh Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Don't need to be "big", just not small. A team of Keslers and Booths would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
