Industrious1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 He hasn't played alot and is a minus player at this point but he is getting his feet wet and will need a bit more adjustment time....not sure he is going to get that, but we'll see. Need a larger sample size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Pinizzotto No one wants to spell this guys name including me. Not one post contained his name spelled out on the second page of the posts. Teachers must have hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*vInTaGe* Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I like how he plays, reminds me of Torres the way he goes so fast into checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Great addition to the roster on the 4th line, not so much for the 3rd line. Ps. Learn how to spell his name right. It's PINIZZOTTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I just call him Pinny because I always forget how to spell his name haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 He's been ok, not really impressive but not really bad or anything. Average depth guy with toughness. He's had a tough go so if this is his worst I'm guessing his best we've yet to see. He must be pretty highly touted as a great 4th liner for us going forward if we waived Volpatti just to activate him. Patti was playing great in that role so that tells me they felt pinni will eventually be better than that. You don't throw a guy away like that just to see if Pinnizotto is a good player, they must have seen some outstanding games on the farm from him to take the risk. I'd never heard of him till we signed him but if my memory serves me correct he was one of those guys gillis said we've had our eye on him for a while.. He said that about weise too when we got him and look at him now. He's playing like a great 3rd liner. That would be sick if he pulls a weise and shocks us all eventually. Anybody down to send him to the Dutch league for a half a year? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I like Pinzo, esp his hit on Backus just to say hi ....just hope his shoulder hold out for his style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Doesn't really do anything different than past grinders we've stuck on the fourth line. Past grinders that haven't stuck around for very long because they don't do much else, if anything at all aside from throw their weight around. It's only been four games anyway. I suspect the flaws in his game and lack of skill will show eventually. Not being a hard ass, but that's usually how it is with these types of players. Otherwise they would be permanent NHL'ers..

theminister Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Pinizzotto No one wants to spell this guys name including me. Not one post contained his name spelled out on the second page of the posts. Teachers must have hated it. I'm impressed from a stand point that he doesn't try and do too much resulting in putting himself out of position. He's done what been asked of him and been rewarded with more ice time. In fact the 4rth line has been the least of Vancouver's troubles. I would venture to say MG has some what addressed the 4rth line issue the best he can under the injury rash the Canucks are experiencing. Pinizzotto is part of the solution moving forward. He's got my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Patty who?! Im also just stoked for him. Finally playing in the NHL and making a go of it. He must be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great energy guy. It's nice to have a 4th liner who actually understands he's here to play on the 4th line. Huge hits/fights is what we want, while being responsible in your own end. Anything offensively is a bonus, it isn't required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasetheCanuck Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Solid 4th Line grinder, isn't the best skater but he brings hits, toughness and a lotta hustle. He's a fitting replacement for Volpatti, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman60 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 He has fit in well with the team and has a shot at sticking with the team longterm. The one thing that could hurt his chances is that he tends to get injured a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 He's been a very solid 4th liner. He plays with intensity, he's aggressive, pretty responsible and doesn't pass up a chance to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoner. Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah it really does seem like they tell their physical players to tone it down, Pinner, Sestito and Kassian have all toned down their physical game since they first got here imo. Lapierre and Burr and stuff aren't even aloud to chirp anymore. They told Juice to stop fighting, and he always played his best when he was pissed and fought. I think it's taking away from some players games especially Lapierre, he was always a better player when he was agitating others. I'm not a fan of AV and this soft defensive hockey we play.

Mad Cow Disease Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I frequently notice where he is on the ice because he's throwing big hits. I like that in a 4th liner, he brings the intensity and grit the 4th line could use with the absence of Volpatti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
