Dont Toews Me Bro

Your writing is painful to read.

"Darcy Hordichuk was brought to the Canucks for one reason and one reason only. To be a brute, to crush not just hit, and to chuck knuckles raining fists of fury." That's three reasons. Article ruined in the first two sentences. Also, you spelled Chipchura wrong. Also, Hordichuk is there for insurance, so ACTUAL HEAVYWEIGHTS like Andrew Peters, Eric Boulton and Derek Boogaard (not meathead scrubs like Stortini and Valabik) can't run our smaller players and get away with it. Rypien can't fight actual heavyweights - he only spars with tall players who can't fight. Glass can't fight actual heavyweights; he takes on his scrappy equivalents: The third/fourth line energy guys. There's more to enforcing than just fighting all the time. If you're a good enough enforcer, all that's needed is your presence. Especially for a team like Vancouver whose best players are of the skilled variety, it would be more effective if Hordichuk could dissuade violence with his mere presence than if he could just fight everyone all the time on every shift.

Hahaha. NHLSourcesSay is the worst news source imaginable. I think at one point they claimed the Canucks would be trading the Sedins to Anaheim for Perry and Getzlaf.

I love me some run-on sentences. Your writing is clumsier than a blind man in a labyrinth.

Chris Pronger 11th? Are you serious? He's the Norris favorite so far.

So what you're saying is that if points were awarded differently, the standings would be different? My god!

" but at this point it's too early in the season to worry about rankings like in this fashion." Doesn't this make the first half of your article completely irrelevant?

"Here are some casual, primitive observations about a fringe NHLer." Great, thanks.

This article told me nothing. Empty rhetoric, sloppy structure. F.

I can't imagine we expected more out of a team missing their top scorer, their franchise starting goalie, several depth players and most defensemen for various periods of time. 12-11 is a great record for a team as plagued by injuries as Vancouver. By all rights we should be fighting Carolina for Taylor Hall.

The only way this guy will get any better writing jobs is if he improves his game. If we just clap for this garbage, he'll never feel the need to improve. I'm doing him a service. This isn't a special ed course. Something positive? The writer has a good understanding of the game. The problem is that he can't write worth shit.

Well yeah, it's informed. So is a copy and paste. I'm not sure what this offers that isn't already on 1000 other websites and blogs.
