hank&dan Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 1) Tower of power....nah...1 good hit against doughty in the playoffs doesn't win me over 2) Bieksa has averaged 42.5 points in both years where he's played 70 or more games. 3) Bieksa and Edler came into the league at the same time, as Bieksa went to play university before he went to the AHL. 4) How can you call his play on the Decline, when he hasn't played a full year in 3 years...aweful hard to judge that.5) Bieksa plays the more complete north american game, Edler plays perfect KHL hockey. Either way neither one is brutal, but its hard to single out just 1 guy if both are so similair. Blind Bieksa love 101. Hating on the other Canuck D-men to make k-bo look better. "Bieksa plays the more complete north american game, Edler plays perfect KHL hockey" You have no idea wtf you are talking about. Prove this ^^ (what does that even mean?) Edler has more hits, more points, hes on the number 1 power play unit, more blocks, more shots, and leads the team in time on ice. Get a clue.

hank&dan Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Bieksa had a good game last night points wise. That said, he didn't register a single hit. He still hasn't had a complete game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 You think the only reason Bieksa has been playing against the other teams top line is because of favortism?? I'm sure Gillis will sit upstair in his box and let AV play favortism at the cost of winning games. This isn't PeeWee, every point is important. Brutal post. No one has ever said he is a great defensive dman, hes just not as bad as the uneducated hockey people like yourself think. Wow. Controlling your internet rage might be a good idea there buddy. Learning to actually comprehend what you read is probably a good step for you to take too. When did I say it was the ONLY reason? And you really believe that if Hamhuis, Ballard, and Salo were 100% healthy, that Bieksa would be the 1st choice to be playing against top lines on other teams? He is below average defensively because of his lack of consistency and his penchant for fundamental defensive mistakes that he cant seem to stop continually making. His value is not defensively, nor has it ever been. If you dont think AV plays favorites, then you do not understand even basic human nature at all, let alone hockey. I would be very surprised if MG micro-manages what AV does with the players he is given. He may give input, but I doubt he overrules the coaching decisions on a daily basis. He is not Mike Keenan or Darryl Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Lovers, Hater here, granted he had a decent game, brilliant by your standards, but he's still crap. I'd love nothing more than to eat my words, but I doubt I ever will when it comes to him. Here's the record so far: 1 good game 11 awful games Lovers, don't get too ahead of yourself. You had to unzip your fly to count to 11, didn't you? All the people grumbling about the fact we didn't sign B-Mo. I'm more ticked that LA threw a large chunk of cash at Willie Mitchell. (It was a $3.5 million gamble, but man is it paying off!) Mitchell: +6, 5 points 23:20 average ice time (The guy is a horse!) Bieksa: 3 points, +2, 22:20 average ice time I trust Mitchell in critical situations more than Bieksa. Curse you LA! Problem is, Mitchell was a UFA while Bieksa wasn't. I disagree, even though BXa got 3 assists, the point production flattered his game. He still made his fair share of slack assed mistakes. I counted a couple of bonehead giveaways and two comical missed checks plus he was not totally innocent on the goal where Alberts was out manned and Penner stripped the puck went to the net and scored. He likely made more, but I wasn't really counting. Anyhow he didn't have a really good game as you say, he had a good game with really good results. I would say he has had 8 awful games, a couple of so so games and one good one vs Edm. Imagine the collective surprise at your take on his play. At least the moderates like Wallstreet and Miller can accept when KB plays well, but you grasp at anything you can to strengthen your weak arguments. You're as big a troll as Tatoes and Sanford.

Unlike yourself, I can't speak for other people, but gee Bieksa against the league doormat, actually contributed to a win in one game this year, wow, he must be Norris material. Nope I stand by my opinion that Bxa is a waste of cap space, his 3.75 mil could be better spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuckle_Up Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Let me see if I can put my truth translator to this. Hi Lovers, Hater here, Bieksa had a very good game last night and has strung together a few good ones in a row, I'm embaressed in myself, clearly my assessment skills are crap. I really actually hate having to eat my own words, and quite frankly no matter how he plays I'm going to give him as little credit as I can. LOL!! That was good, I like that, the truth translator... nice! I'd love and I'm being serious now, love to eat my words when it comes to ANY canuck that I personally hate, would love it...but I'm not right now, not after 1 good game. It's one game, he looked okay, I thought especially at the point on the pp, personally. And he got some secondary assists (save for Torres' 2nd), which have become his calling card and now you're all on here puffing your chests, good for you, enjoy the moment, because I bet it'll pass. We'll see. To the post re: 11 games vs. 12, you're right, I fudged up. Should've edited my post it like my good friend above. Anyway, it's going to take more, to change my opinion, than 1 game. Not that it should matter, it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, as are you. I'm not even sure a good season would do it for me, I mean it would have to be one helluva season... Norris trophy nomination type stuff before I'll ever look at some of you Bieksa Lovers and think... ya, they were right and I had my head up my arse, all this time. I'm just sayin...

Sharpshooter Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Troll? what are your posts Sampy? Bieksa LOVE TROLL posts? Why do you put a after your insults? Do you think they're negated somehow? And trolls don't post positive posts....they post negative ones. Incessantly negative ones. Hence, the moniker of troll. Please, just stop with your weird and unfunny comments....it's like daggers in my brain through my eye sockets. Oh wait , that make it better?

EmployeeoftheMonth Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Wait... wallstreetamigo?? Uneducated??! BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA Thanks man that was funny! On a side note, how the hell has this thread neared 150 pages?? Have there been threads merged into it or something?? At this pace it will pass the Burrows thread in length! There's been 2 but I think but they probably make up about 5 pages. I think the reason this thread has gotten so long is because there's actually been some good debates rather than the usual "bieksa sucks" and "Bieksa is great" back and forths that generally make up most Bieksa threads. Not to say that hasn't happened in this thread and not to say that there hasn't been some circling in the arguments but in general intelligent banter.
