King Heffy Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 you can learn to defend .. offence is a gift .. you may be bummed about the trade , but you cant deny the kids talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Were we even watching the same Cody Hodgson or are you people just making up BS to feel better about trading him away? I don't get how so many people here can consider him a defensive liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 You can't teach effort and Hodgson doesn't appear willing to work to improve his defensive zone play. Guy spends more time floating than a tugboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ya his defence mightve been suspect but where have you read that "he whined" his way to top minutes? The guy rocked the CHL world while winning a few respectable awards along the way. He played WJC with a few notable future prospects and we here can all agree that he helped make them all look good. The guy threw his back out while working out and training for Canucks training camp. This after playing 140 games on 3 continents. The kid proved he had "drive" and had star all over him up until his injury. Since then, he was thrown under the bus, misdiagnosed by Dr. Shlopnik and crew from Canucks. He went to seek other opinions and finally got the help he needed. Switched trainers, who also had praised Cody's heart and willingness to perservere. After Cody's father had realized the bang-up job Gillis and Co did for his son, he then threw in the towel and got his kid out of Vancouver Now ask yourself Canucks 73.... You wouldnt do the same for your kid if you had that power? Then what does Gillis do? He trades a blue chip center for Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds. Stud for dud trade and mismanagement of assets if you ask me. But its just soooo easy to put on the typical Canucks rose colored glasses and throw a person under the bus when they have NO CLUE about the whole story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ummmm thx tips but you DO realize that this is his 2nd year in the league right? And as for defensive liability.... He was only a -4.... Not too bad 5 on 5 eh? Which center on the Sabres was YOUR clear cut favorite? Ya, he sure whined his way to the top line. Unlike Kassian who both Ruff AND AV have both demoted to pressbox and minors. Ask yourselves this.... You wanna talk about whining? Place Kesler on the 3rd line and watch what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 And you know this how???? The one person who says all the negativity is the same guy who cant seem to talk his own head out of his a$$. After the way Gillis and our genius team doctors misassessed his back problems then tried throwing him under the bus in the process. Would you blame Cody for wanting out?

SamJamIam Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Unlike you basing his defensive play on his +/- I actually watched him play both here and in Buffalo and yes he is a defensive liability. He's not terrible but he is below average defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Canucks fans continue to disappoint. If you're gonna get all high and mighty about the facts, at least have the sense to follow the story closely when it's going down. Cody, his dad and his new agent (you know, the one he got because his old agent didn't hassle MG enough) are all dicks. CoHo also was just an awkward, selfish kid who never meshed with the team and has had the same problems in Buffalo. If you want verification, dig up the threads and tweets but don't mistake your ignorance for my making assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 And Cody was the problem with Buffalo's downfall huh? Miller had a stellar season, Pominville was traded, Vanek in constant trade rumours, Little Ennis getting manhandled all over the ice, Their coach being let go.... Again, this is only Cody's 2nd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieCrumbs Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah everybody, believe what Gillis said about this kid. Gillis is a gutless pig when it comes to his players. The guy is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburn Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 uh... he outscores all the forwards on our team.. a lot of good the lack of goals from our 4, 5 and 6 million forwards did for us eh?? The hate based on nothing for this kid is ridiculous I think the respect Gillis showed his two star goaltenders through the last year up to this weekend shows how much we can believe gillis and the way he paints things after he makes an unpopular move.
