The only guy to actually go over to Clutterbuck and say something was Tyler Motte. Like it or not this is the Sedin mantra carrying over to the next generation. Until we sign some players with some snarl to their game, we're not going to see the kind of swagger and pushback fans wanna see. I know. When booth hurt himself on that slackline years back no one help him either. Could have at least rubbed his groin better. Smh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 anyone here miss Derek Dorsett? I also miss Bieska too. He would have raged over Matheson and challenged him to a fight. I also heard Nick Ritchie is having contract issues with Anahiem, maybe a trade can be done to bring him in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie would be a great addition and a Ritchie- Petey-Goldy line would be a big step up from having an invinsible Eriksson on the left wing. Nice call! Fingers crossed!

Followed Louie closely since we've played for the same junior hockey side, Lerum, just outside Gothenburg only one year apart. Watched him emerge as a quick sniper in Dallas and his successful seasons with the Bruins. But it's safe to say that he's only a shadow of his former self in the Canucks. More of a pk-player than goal-getter. Great guy and wish him all the best, but from a Canuck point of view, I think we would be much better of with the phycical pressense of Ritchie. Btw the school-reference doesn't work. To cool (and old) for school and not living in the same time zone. And I don't want any childish internet brawl.

If anything, Eriksson has played better in the offensive zone this season than in his past two seasons with the Canucks. Pettersson has brought out something in him that I haven't seen. It's early, and I do apologize for the school reference. Tack! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course, Loui prefers the RW role but still competent as a LW, as Goldy, who's a lefty, still can opererate as an RW. Ritchie on the other hand is more off an all out LW. Got ahead of myself sorry. 2 hours ago, johngould21 said: If anything, Eriksson has played better in the offensive zone this season than in his past two seasons with the Canucks.

True, but i'm maybe more impressed with his defensive contribution, feels like his creativity and movement has vanished, and hey, EP would probably make most linemates pickup a second assist or two every now and then. 2 hours ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: Isn’t Ritchie getting close to bust territory (I haven’t followed him since his draft but feel like I heard he was flopping) That may be true, 10th pick overall back in 2014 but a dissapointing season last year with alot of unessasary minor penalties and only a PPG at 0.31 during his Duck career (Loui 0.41 in Canucks). Still, after watching the Matheson hit again and the lack of response from fellow Canuck players, I'd love to have a line-mate to EP who stands up for him, and Ritchie would be a great fit and a cheap trade with potential.

NONE of you. On-ice is a different game than it was 20 years ago. Totally different game. There is a time and place. What is "gutless" is making inane complaints when you have not a shred of understanding of what actually went down, what was actually said etc. That is "gutless". This team is gutless, glad you loved the post. And sorry all-pro, we do have a shred of understanding of what went down. Star player got injured and no one did anything for 15min of game time, not even a face wash, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be the most gutless post I have seen on CDC. You have not a clue IMHO. Lace them up sometime and learn about this great game.....or just on being totally ignorant of the game. Your call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Until he’s a little older, stronger and more mature he will need to be sheltered physically. We were lucky enough to be gifted a star player. Let’s protect him at all costs. Put Virtanen on his line instead of Erickson. Virtanen isn’t much of a fighter but at least he’s not a cream puff.

How could Jake have changed the outcome of the Matheson hit? The players were already skating away from the incident and Jake, being the fastest skater would have already be crossing the blue line.

Virtanen can create room and a bit more protection then Erickson can. Erickson has played ok so far this season but he’s a cream puff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperlynx Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 No need to go after Matheson. Go after a star player in retaliation. If NHL game is played like that, so be it. It hurts where money is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2018 Loved reading this section with quotes from Horvat on Pettersson in tonight’s “Athletties” (Botchford): https://theathletic.com/591105/2018/10/17/the-athletties-the-flow-rises-hutton-cometh-green-shines-and-an-ode-to-dekey-pete/ In a previous edition of The Athletties, I speculated he had been inspired by EP for this play. Turns out, he was indeed. “For sure I was inspired by him. I can say it first hand. He inspires me to be a better 200-foot player. “And he’s only played five games,” said Horvat. He can’t help but laugh at how that sounds out loud. But he’s so on point here. “I noticed he was special in preseason,” he continued. “It was right away. You could see it. It’s why everyone in this room has so much respect for him. “Why I have so much respect for him is because he plays so hard away from the puck. “It’s insane. The skill, you see it. That’s sick. But for him to be so good defensively and positionally and for him to be so relentless on the puck, it’s unbelievable to watch. “As an older guy like me, who has been in the league for five years, I watch him and I want to be like him. I want to be like that. “He pushes me to be a better player. “It’s awesome to have someone on your team who pushes you.” Man, I hope EP comes back soon and with no lingering effects. The fact that he’s already inspiring Horvat to be a better 200-foot player is remarkable. Also, hats off to Botch for tonight’s issue. It’s some of his best Provies/Athletties work, and well worth the read (and even worth the subscription price). 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports · 15h Todd Bertuzzi on the Matheson suspension: After looking, it was on the crappier side of hits. It was definitely a punishable offense although I can see why he was angry, losing his jock-strap on the previous play. #Canucks down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
