TimberWolf Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Fun trying to come up with nicknames but the players themselves are always unoriginal as hell Cooke was Cookie Naslund was Nazzy Goldobin will be Goldy Though if he's scrappy I would name him Mini Goldthorpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy with both trades FWIW. I really hope we get a top 2 pick this year so we can get that!

I know in 2 years they'll still have one or two veterans such as Eriksson and Sutter but not much more. Unless they sign some UFAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Kids sounds determined and motivated to make his mark and genuinely excited to be joining a young team that will give him a great opportunity: “I was kind of upset that I didn’t get a bigger chance [with San Jose], but they try to win the Stanley Cup and they wanted to get an older guy who played a couple of years in the NHL,” Goldobin said from the Bay Area where he’s been playing for the Sharks American Hockey League franchise. “So they got Hansen and he’s a good player.” “I’m really excited to join them (the Canucks) and kind of nervous for me to play against my (old) team tomorrow,” he says. “I can play both wings. Most of the time, I play left wing but lately I have been playing the right wing and I actually like it.” “I know there are a lot of young players in Vancouver and hopefully I will play with one of them,” he says. “I know it’s a good team. A desperate team.” http://canucksarmy.com/2017/3/1/newest-canuck-goldobin-upset-i-didn-t-get-a-bigger-chance-in-san-jose Minor note: The interview makes it pretty clear that Goldobin still speaks slightly broken and heavily accented English, so I'd take his "desperate team" statement in the positive sense, meaning that the Canucks are a young group that's hungry for success. LOL. My phone keeps posting this pic of Goldie. Was gonna post it in a nickname comment but now it's just perma-attached and won't edit out.

Sean Monahan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 8 hours ago, Harvey Spector said: Goldobin should be in the lineup tomorrow. Excited to see what he can do. Play him with Horvat and see if there is a connection. As a Russian with a left shot I hear he can play right wing. I'd throw him on the right side and see what happens. You and your dam Russians.

Bae Bo Kane Sedin Sedin Granlund Goldobin Sutter Eriksson Leaving Boeser Gaud Virtanen Dahlen to jell and dominate the AHL Aside from Goldobin, who may not be bad, who else is "pillows soft"? The smaller players in the lineup might not be physically intimidating, but they aren't soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller players in the lineup might not be physically intimidating, but they aren't soft. Bae ,Granlund the Sedins, Eriksson, Boucher. Basically the entire top 9 save Horvat and Sutter who aren't exactly feisty agitating type guys. We basically just traded the only 2 players we have who can get the oppositions bench riled up. When was that last time any of those guys threw a hit or trash talked between the whistles? Just saying we woefully lack an agitator/douch bag that can get other teams running around chasing them instead of playing hockey Kane could be our Douch bag. I'm interested to see what Crammer can do but I doubt he will be able to play Burr or Hansens mins. So he will just be agitating 4th line plugs. The Canucks have a long history of elite Pests. recent memory: Ruutu, Cooke, Burrows, Kesler, Lapierre etc. Guys that drive opposing teams off their game.

Thats why I hope JB ponies up and pays those 2 this offseason. But they play on our back end. We don't have any fwds to dig pucks out of the corners win board battles get in on the forecheck and create offensive zone turnovers or trash talk in the face-off dot between whistles other than Dorsett who is injured. I hope JB goes out and gets a tenacious pest for our top 9 this offseason. Since Virtanen should cook a bit longer. I hear Dahlen is a good forechecker so thats a plus. MTL may be small but Gallager who's 5'9" wouldn't back down from a contest with Chara. We need a guy with that fire. Ok I'm beating a dead horse now.
