Guest Pinchin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Burr gives plenty of BS and I like his game. Liked Lappy,too.Going to miss him. We are all Canucks,Well,most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmania Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Comparing what Burr does for the team to what Lappy does is silly. Also we've seen a huge decrease in the yapping that Burr does. You may like and miss who ever you wish. The team won't miss him when the season starts and that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmania Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 How do you think Burr's game would change playing on a line with Kesler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The fact the Canucks needed to try new things in their bottom 6 which clearly needed a shake up. Just like AV was a good coach, Lappy was a good bottom 6 role player, but just wasnt able to elevate to the next level with the Canucks. Plus the Canucks need to inject new life into the team.

higgyfan Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Burr gives us something Lappy never did or could, goals. I hope Burr tones down the douchery this season again, if he doesn't he will suffer the same indifference from officials he has had in the past. If Tort does decide to change up the top line and put Burr with Kesler then I hope he learns to stop biting and start hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 He just isn't very good and I won't miss him at all. There is too much love for replaceable players. If this team cannot replace his skillset from within, then this team is far far away from having the depth it thinks it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've said it many times before I liked Lappy but he had to go. Improving the Canucks rep with the refs is worth a 50-goal scorer based on last season's playoffs. Perhaps other players should be considered being traded if it would help the Canucks standing with the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pinchin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hard to say. I mean I think Burr is wicked talented and he could play almost anywhere. I always liked his game way back when he played with Kesler. Is he going to score as many points? Depends on Kesler but I think Burrows and Kes could get that chemistry back in a short time and Burrows would be exactly what Kesler needs. A guy to do the dirty work and open him up. Overall I think hhis game would change very little. Less cycling that's for sure. just to be clear that last post wasn't directed at you either. Sorry if there was any confusion.

Guest Pinchin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 To be fair, Burr significantly toned down his game last year and I think that will continue into this season. He showed +++ discipline the number of times he was given questionable penalties. Credit where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Not sure if wording in title is meant to be a joke or not... Anyway - I liked Lappy, and would have liked to see him back here. As others have said - not as much as I'd like to see Torres back here. The fact is though, that 4th line players *shouldn't* be hard to find. I mean, we haven't typically had the best 4th lines in the league for a long time but still, you'd THINK it would be easy to find such players. Plus, opening up a spot on the 4th provides an opportunity to get a younger guy in there, like Schroeder. (Not that he's a stereotypical 4th liner by any stretch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lappy had the last 2 years to take the 3C spot and run with it but failed miserably. Only thing he was good at was penalty killing (if he wasn't already in the box), and faceoffs. A third line center has to be able to shut down the opposing teams top guys and chip in offensively here and there. Not once every 10 games.

doobiedoodoo Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 With Manny struggling and out, Lappy had all the opportunity to prove himself, but he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lappy was an ok 4th liner. He wont bite us in the ass. He is insignificant. We need a better 4th line if we want to win it all. We could use the better rep with the refs that not having Lappy will give us, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetliner Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 He will be missed for sure. Had the most hits on our team last season. MG's such a tool for not re signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck_forever Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lappy will be well remembered, it was just time for him to go I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
