Avicii Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Henrik Sedin should never have been captain in the first place. Probably one of the weakest, softest captain in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This guy is an idiot. In case he didn't know the Canucks were one shot away from being eliminated that year in the first round, then where does that arguement go? Heart would have meant absolutely nothing in that case. Those that suggest that hockey players don't play with heart in the playoffs or suggest that there was a lack of effort on the Canucks this year don't understand pro hockey that well. Factors such as personel choices by the GM and Coach were far bigger factors. I certainly did not see a lack of effort from the team despite what the whiners try to claim. Refereeing, bad bounces, lack of goal scoring once again, bad goalie situation, these are viable claims. Heart can overcome great odds to help a team but anyone that suggests a loss can simply be labelled as no heart are ignorant of hockey at the NHL level.

DeNiro Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I would rather be an 8th place team that plays their butts off and loses, than a top place team that plays like they're owed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 How is Henrik's ironman steak not legit? Other than that, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Because of one game where he played a single shift to keep the streak alive. Apparently that discredits the previous 7 seasons where he didn't mis a single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 He sounds mad, some young people 15-16 year olds said that this team is better than 94 team and he is like 60. This is what I think how he got this into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I agree, he may be a good leader off the ice, but Kesler or Bieksa should have been captain, mostly Kesler. Two stupid captain choices in a row. Lu and Hank..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Such a joke. Bolland calls the Sedins sisters, who cares--he's just being a troll. Canucks respond? Classless. Doughty calls out the Canucks for whining just before a game, omg he's so right. Kings continue to whine the whole game? They are champions. What I've learned about being a Canucks fan is that other teams/fans can whine and dive all they want. If we do it? Classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 "Remember, a last-place team that plays with heart will always beat a first-place team that dives and whines - even when it loses!" Of course, history will forget about that last place team, and will hold in reverence the champions. I'll gladly go for the team that wins, period. Play with heart, clutch-and-grab, or do it soccer-style....just get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 There are many reasons we lost to San Jose but organ size wasn't the key factor. Heart is an incredibly misused term as it always seems to imply that if you lose, you didn't have enough desire. Hate to break it to everyone, but the 94 team lost. Maybe they didn't leave anything on the ice, but they still lost to a more skilled team. Or did the Rangers have more "heart" in the end? Too often goonplay is labeled as a team with "heart and character" and a skilled team is villified. It's not hard to accomplish because who wants to accept the success of what we already know is good? Better the underdog showing "heart" in the face of adversity. On the other side of the coin there are players that are labelled correctly. Stevie Y carrying his team on one leg and Linden (who should have won the Con Smythe and was robbed of even that) being a superstar after taking one of the most overlooked cheepshots in hockey the game previous. But their skill is what followed. You need skill and heart to win. You can't sacrifice one for the other. In the end you still might lose, heart notwithstanding.

ilduce39 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Rose colored glasses. Aside from the 94 playoffs the 90s were terrible for the Canucks and if this dunce can't see the past few years have been the best in franchise history he's out to lunch. edit: not that that's saying much.
