      so he hits more than Sam Gagner or Henrik Sedin or Sven Baertschi or whomever so what.  That doesn't mean he is a physical player.  Most of his body contact is without any malice or aggression.  He is a marshmallow that makes contact because his coach tells him he has to instead of actually wanting to engage.  You can see that by the way he hits and his general demeanor.  All of that would be fine if he had some actual skill which he doesn't.

       

      The world's best player at standing in shooting lanes has once again been rescued by CDC.  Dude you just don't get it!

       

      Reggie how you can say that he is undervalued is mind boggling.  There is almost 10 people who felt the need to respond to this to defend him.  There isn't many players on the Canucks that get this much support from the fan base. 

       

      I know its not necessarily constructive to harp on a 4th line player being bad, but he has played a lot more than Jake minutes wise.  Burmistrov has played less.  Rodin, Goldobin, heck give me some shampoo.  Same player but is very solid at face-offs and is marginally quicker.

       

      Every coach has his pets.  Markstrom and Gaunce are clearly Green's.  This isn't bugging people yet but I am just getting in on the ground floor of the new Aaron Rome/Jason Megna.  Got to buy low!

      sure but he is slow, doesn't play a physical game, hasn't exhibited any play making skills.  So again he stands in the right place to block shooting lanes.  Burmistrov is substantially better player, and I would love to see Godlobin get a game or two to see what he has to offer.  The offense looked good last year curious to see if he is better in his own zone this year.
