kloubek Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dorsett is on pace for, what... 47 goals? Even besides his goals he is playing well. I had some real questions about him after his injury but he's played well beyond his role this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Dorsett looks good, came out of the fight ok last night, I think whoever his surgeon was should have gotten first star. Edited October 21, 2017 by Hairy Kneel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's worth noting that Crawford had those numbers in the 80s. Dorsett is likely the more offensively skilled player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people often overlook Dorsett's offense because he's not "elite". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The question was whether Dorsett could come back after his injury. He plays a style hard on the body. Never forget that video of him on the tractor back on the farm in Saskatchewan. Never under estimate the ability or hard work of a farm boy from the prairies. Just as I liked Hansen as a transition vet for the rebuild I also liked Dorsett. Everyone excited about his big ppg game but he does not have to put up big numbers to be effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime Dorsett is on the ice is where puck posseion dies. Great contract for "leadership" makes Sbisa contract almost look decent. Hey Chip - was going through some old posts and wondered if you still feel the same way about DD given his start this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Dorsett is only 30.... I'd love to extend him at his current rate even if he slows down and doesn't score another goal for the rest of the year. Love his compete level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I never disliked or crapped on Dorsett, but I've never really give him any credit either. He deserves some credit from me, It's not just the scoring start to the season, he's really working out there, and that attitude is what we need for a quicker turnaround with our rebuild. We've had a lot of mid-level talent in the past 4 seasons and I lumped Dorsett in that group. I didn't really give him much consideration, he was a role player who's talent could be replaced by any number of the Kenins' Cracknells of the league. I think I was missing his intangibles. He can score in the right situations, and he's a perfect energy role guy. I'm glad he's here for this incarnation of the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still early but so far so good. It looks like Dorsett is walking the walk after he said he thought he was an everyday player. Avoiding fighting and hitting and focusing more on just playing hockey has served him well so far. He will avoid injuries not having to play a kamikaze style instead of thinking his role is as only a tough guy. Credit for Travis Green believing in him and not pigeon holing his role on the team. What a difference a year makes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd like to make ammends for any previous posts I've made regarding Dorsett having rocks for hands. They're more like frozen butter. And we were all wrong for calling him "overpaid". Even those of us in his "fan club." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
