CanucksSayEh Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth just looks stoked to have a coach willing to rip into the opposition when the time calls for it, rather than chew gum. I know I had that same goofy look on my face, though much more handsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You usually don't scratch a forward and have a 7th defenseman take his place for 37 seconds unless a trade is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Light Racicot Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth seems to have this weird problem where he thinks the game like a ten year old kid when it comes to how to use your teammates. I seriously hope he can figure that kind of stuff out, because the guy seems like a major flake sometimes. I have seen the guy play when he is on his game and he has played as well as his salary would indicate in a Canuck uniform (and more) before; but he has had an almost catastrophic run of injuries.

Gurn Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth has not been the same since his concussion, with only occasional flashes of his former self. I am becoming concerned that Daniel has the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyFox Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It would be awesome if he was bought out next year or traded to a team. I feel like he's just not the player we thought he was just a disappointment since he's been a canuck. Also I would like to add he would be free up a nice chunk of cash that could be used on a effective topsix player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thLineGrinder Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 he can play his way on or off the team now benching was a wake up call, lets see how he responds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 So who thinks he plays Thursday vs. The Devils? Keeping in mind that Hansen might be out for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth has not been the same since his concussion, with only occasional flashes of his former self. I am becoming concerned that Daniel has the same issue. Only an excuse if you let it. Sidney Crosby seems to be doing just fine, unless you want to argue he would be breaking all of Gretzky's records right now if it wasn't for the concussion.

The-Impersonator Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have no problem with him as a person or his religious beliefs but that is my opinion. As a Canucks fan I would like him to figure his game out and make a positive contribution. Sure we only have up Sturm and Samuelson but Gillis put a lot of stock in him being the top 6 power forward we needed and he's taking up a ton of cap space which could have been used for a better free agent of developing a young guy.

sabatoge95 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hopefully him getting scratched tonight will wake him up and get him going. This team would be a lot better if he could play to his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 He will react just fine, similar to Kassian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnucckleHead Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth hasn't been bad, just very average. He should be in next game, seems like a guy who will respond well to a scratch. Expect to see him flying from his next shift. Sorry but he has been invisible & that's why he is scratched & will never be in the top 6 in the NHL on any team. I've een saying it forever he is an anchor to our team. Put him in the minors & buy him out at the end of the year & use his cap space for the piece we really need, 3rd line centre. Steve Ott....

Trebreh Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I hope that's Torts sending a message to Gillis to get rid of him or replace Booth with an actual top 6 forward. The Hansen injury could be a blessing in disguise to make Gillis actually do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Booth is taking the law of regression a little too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you arguing every player that ever had a concussion came back and played to the same level as prior to the injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silfverberg Snipes Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Copied and pasted my post on HF because I'm too lazy to rewrite it. Don't listen to the others. Booth still has the same speed and grit he had pre-concussion. His main problem is that he is just dumb. Incapable of creating plays on his own and requires the use of line-mates that can feed him the puck in situations where he can get his shot off. In Florida he was given the reigns and was the focal point of the line he was on with others creating situations for him. However, he was brought into Vancouver to be a secondary asset to ride shotgun with Kesler who is in general terms, David Booth with a brain. As soon as they started playing together Kesler realized that Booth was an unreliable teammate and essentially became a puckhog himself out of necessity in order to even TRY to generate some kind of offense. To date the only person he passes to regularly aside from the Sedin's is Higgins. Put this all together and you have the mess of a bottom six forward group we have now. This is what I think Booth's problem is. He needs to be in the situation we WANT to create for Kesler. Both of these guys require playmaking line-mates in order to succeed. Kesler less so than Booth, which is why he's still got the 2C role on lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If we waive him to Utica is he off our books? Spend the 4 million on gagne and prospal? Those two would be way way better than booth alone. Booth is done in the nhl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
