  1. You're wrong too. The original post said kesler in his prime would have been the 1c on most teams. 2010. 25 goals 50 assists 75 pts. 2011. 41 goals 32 assists 73 pts. Honestly you have to be some kind of special to think that he wasn't a threat or wouldn't have been most teams number 1 center during those years. Who were his linemates those years? Jeff tamballini and mason Raymond? Don't let the hate for kesler skew your opinion of his skill. And I know this is the pettersson thread. Don't care. I will not drop this.
  2. Boy are they going to be in for a surprise when the getto Vancouver.
  3. We need to have a different name for this 1d 1c business. I get what your saying though. While horvat is technically a 1c Crosby is something else. Tanev a 1d but burns is something else. I think we should use the term "elite" for the type of player your talking about. To me there are 31 1cs I the league and 31 1ds.
  4. To go back to the original post. "On most teams kesler would be a 1c in his prime" Let's say his prime was 2011 when he scored 50 goals. Heres a list of teams he would have been the 1c on along with their actual 1c at the time. New York rangers- Brandon dubinski/Derek Stephan Nashville predators-david legwand New Jersey devils-Travis Zajac Columbus blue jackets-Antoine vermette/Derek brassard Buffalo sabers-Tim Connolly Montreal Canadiens- Thomas plekanec Toronto maple leafs- Mikhail Grabovski Calgary flames- Olli Jokinen Edmonton oilers- Jordan Eberle Phoenix coyotes- Eric Belanger Atlanta thrashers- Rich Peverley Florida Panthers- Stephen Weiss Those are just the clear wins by kesler. Those aren't including teams with decent 1cs like koivu and brad Richards and Claude Giroux. So again like the original post said, kesler would have been a 1c in his prime in most teams. Regardless of how much he used his linemates.
  5. Is there? We have a rookie 30 goal scorer on our team and no one gives a $&!#. Sure it's nice to have but these moral victories aren't doing anything for the fans. I want a cup. You want a cup. Everyone wants a cup. If EP is ready that's one thing if hes rushed to the show for the purpose of filling seats we need to clean house from the top top. Like ownership top.
  6. It's used like +/-. It's relevant when it supports your beliefs and irrelevant when it doesn't.
  7. Nah even flames and habs fans are defending it.
  8. Easy guys. He looked good last couple game. This team went to the cup finals last year. I mean i didnt watch the game but did anyone look good last night ?
  9. As long as my goalies play the canucks they do well.
  10. His offensive production is moot if he doesn't put in the work and raise his fitness level or shore up the defensive side of the game.
  11. Martin Jones Carey price connorl hellebuyck Corey schneider Those are my goalies 0 wins 4.61 GAA .848 Sv% Dafuq man.
  12. I don't think the organization really looks at him as a center.
  13. Lol I didn't mean to belittle. I'm sorry if I crossed a line. It's just my sense of humor. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and I apologize. I love the sass you give back though
  14. Yeah I get where you're coming from. There are often times that I think someone might have to go to make room on the top 6 and he's oft. the player i choose. The canucks are a product of players lile bo and brock. Baertschi is a product of the canucks. If that makes any sense.
  15. That's it put him on the hate list.
