189lb enforcers?

Anyway look at Lidster go. He deserves a little respect after being unceremoniously kicked to the curb as assistant coach a few years ago. I think most people didn't even know that was a Canuck great working the bench with Willie D. He should have been looking up at himself in the Ring of Honour every home game if you ask me. Lidster can replace Baumer anytime, IMO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ - looks like Lidster now has almost half the votes of everyone from the last round...two shy. And 50% more then Bieksa....think we can declare sudden death OT over with a glorious goal from the blue line from Lidster. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please consider respecting KB and moving him into 24th place with an automatic bye...his knuckleball from the blue line to nip the resurging and arguably better team in SJ game 5.....was legendary and just like that maybe he should get rewarded instead of going back into the pool for another go. I actually like KB more - my favourite Sedin era Canuck...that said have to admit Lidster edges him out......both these guys are more then deserving a top 25 rank. Have some nominations coming up that i'm looking forward to getting too...cheers edit: Lidster now has one less then half of all the overall votes from last time...

Sudden death shoot-outs - not a fan ha ha. Ties are ok. Just a suggestion. Think the Ronning votes will go to Lidster - and the Jovo votes got to Bieksa ....in the end when they all come in it will still be close. I don't see any need to speed it up, as we'll still be without hockey for a while. Having this last an extra day isn't so bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great moment and goal by Bieksa. Of the three guys to send us to the Final, he's the first to get in. Greg Adams is probably in the next ten guys, and poor old Jim Nill won't get mentioned by anyone but me most likely. That guy was a clutch performer in '82 though. That 1982 team actually provided a good number of big time performers in the NHL "builders" category - Marc Crawford, Jim Nill, Colin Campbell... Smyl the Jack of all Trades in the Canuck organization, scouts Gradin and Delorme, coach Kevin McCarthy, coach Glen Hanlon, etc. Edit: I've been saying Jim Nill's goal sent the Canucks to the final in 82, but looking at the scoresheet it says Lars Molin had the GWG. Anyway, Nill scored the first goal of that game against Chicago and gave the Canucks the lead they never relinquished I think.

GB5 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Definitely Lidster I love Bieksa and he will likely be next but Lidster was a really good d-man.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Bieksa is a favorite of mine but I have to separate liking a player v voting for the better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I voted Juice, based on how dedicated he has been to our team overall. Everyone knows he's a die hard Canuck at heart. Statistically speaking Lidster gets the nod, although different era. You can't go wrong with either pick for #23. Some interesting facts I didn't know about Lidster... Drafted by the Canucks in the seventh round! What a steal. Good BC boy ... Kamloops (City of Angels) Played 4 years @ Colorado College - Joe Sakic's neck of the woods (Colorado Joe) Had some really sweet mullets. Left the Canucks summer of '93 and was on the Rangers for the SCF clash (more rigged that the Bret Hart's WWF Montreal Screwjob) Career High of 63 points in 1986-87 Season Kind of looks like Jerry Seinfeld Rangers traded him away to acquire former Canuck Petr Nedved Edited April 12, 2020 by apollo 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also in the running for the best skater I've ever seen in a Canucks uniform. He didn't have Bure level speed but he had a more human level of Paul Coffey's grace. Here he is fighting Mike Ricci, and not exactly looking like Mike Tyson but getting a pat on the back from our heavyweight Garth Butcher for representing the team. Meanwhile on the ice Keith Acton attacks the (slightly) smaller Cliff Ronning. Ha, it has nothing to do with the thread...but Keith Acton was a real rat. A very good player but maybe he should have been the Rat instead of Ken Linseman. Here he is charging Murray Bannerman (a good goalie that we drafted) from behind for no reason at all, just for the hell of it.

Coconuts Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Voting Lidster though my feels say KB3. I'd give whoever loses the auto 24 tbh, because if past polls are any indication they're gonna win anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustbin Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I can't take Lidster over Bieksa. Kevin brought too much more presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Can we get call it now? Last run 52 votes overall - this time through Lidster with over 40 already....and a commanding lead. Love KB and totally cool with just automatically putting him in right after Lidster....when first time posters are coming in and adding votes it stinks a little of duplicate voting...

Baratheon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Bieksa should be 24. Tied for the votes is obviously reason number 1. KB and Greg Adams have the two biggest individual moments of anyone on the list. I think that means something too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
