avelanch Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hey quit pumping our prospects man...you've only seen him a few games and now you're practically anointing him the next captain! maybe he's a scout, how many games has he seen him play live, not just scoreboard watching....

bigbadcanucks Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Good golly that makes me love him even more. We need more of that on the Canucks. I don't care if he fights, his game plus willingness to stick up for team mates....YES PLEASE. I hope Kenins forces them to move a someone or two.... Don't mean to rain on the Rons Kenins parade but he took on Pageau, a 5'9" 175-pound player. That's like picking a fight with Jordan Schroeder. Hardly a brave move, but yes...good on him for sticking up for O'Reilly. He scored a big goal vs. the Jets, but IMO, he was on his way to the press box for the bad penalty he took in the third that the Jets scored on. So, he essentially went from a zero to a hero by scoring an important goal. Good on him for being clutch, but he was doing just what you would expect from a fourth line call up until he scored. I hope he sticks and keeps getting better...he's been better than I expected him to be and it's great to see our prospects having some success...but, IMO, it may be premature to think Rons Kenins is giving JB any sense of comfort that he's capable of replacing any of the current Canucks forwards on a regular basis at this point in time.

From what I saw, he didn't pick a fight with anybody. He saw his teammate and captain on the receiving end of a questionable hit and responded exactly as he should. Then got jumped and acquitted himself relatively well. We need more of that on this team. Again, not talking about the fight at all. The response. Otherwise, yup, bad play on the penalty (however I'd also say it's unlikely they score on it if Edler's @#$%'ing stick doesn't disintegrate). But he made sure he made up for it even before scoring the goal and definitely with it. And that's exactly what WD should expect of a gritty 4th liner who plays near the edge, the occasional penalty to kill. He's hard to play against and is PRECISELY the type of player that you want on your 4th line. Maybe that moves Hansen up to the third and makes Kassian, Higgins or Matthias more expendable (or Hansen). Yes it's still early but there's another month before the deadline. By then we should have a far better idea. Besides, it's not like any of those guys are currently setting the world on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ronalds Kenins vs. Boston Bruins [FEB 13, 2015] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0Hg-xU3ZM Of note is the solid Horvat-line shift from 3:39~3:00 of the 2nd period*. Nothing resulted from it from an offensive point of view, but it was a great display of hustle by the trio: Hansen intercepting a pass and bringing it back in; Kenins with a couple solid hits; Horvat with a hit and steal on Chara. *7:00~7:40 of the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hansen, Horvat and Kenins were fantastic against the Bruins. Kassian and Matthias are generating some nice chemistry right now and I believe Dorsett should stick with Horvat chemistry-wise, but Kenins looked good wherever in the lineup he plays. Brings energy, lots of hits and can shoot the puck nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I don’t think he’s ever seen a forecheck on which he didn’t want to crash into something. Never peeling off your checks tends to play well when you’re “4L energy guy” real well. “Ronny and Bo played Chara hard,” Matthias marvelled. “Ronny hits. He’s not very tall but he’s thick. He’s a good player.” http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/02/13/kk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Bo hit Chara then out-hustled him to the puck, I got goosebumps. Didn't expect much from Kenins, but we might have something here folks.

Jiggs50 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Still remember how well he played for Latvia. He brings speed and bangs and can actually play hockey. I love Dorsett but after this year I think Kenins can take his role (without the fighting). I'd love for Zaleskwi/Archi/Gaunce to get a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Was almost funny the way they ganged on Chara. Also liked Kenins' cheeky take-down of Lucic at 8:54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 If we had a team of Kenins I bet we could beat most teams in the NHL. He's just so quick and hits and makes good passes has a pretty good shot, rarely loses puck battles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning said before the season that if the young guys earn a spot then they'll make room for them. Excellent timing, Ronnie -- TDL fast-approaching.
