Bang Bang Boogie Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We're gonna miss this guy. He turns it up in the playoffs every year, unlike some other Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Im gunna miss him, I liked Lapierre a lot. I'm not sure "did everything I could" is "begging" necessarily, that puts him in a bad light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS40 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It's more like: Lapierre vs. Richardson Roy vs. Gaunce/Horvat/Schroeder Since Richardson is mostly like replacing Lapierre taking the 4th line C spot and one of our young guns replacing Roy on the 3rd line. Santorelli is most likely our 13th forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I dont understand it either. Maybe Lappy really wanted to go back to Montreal and when he couldnt St Louis offered him a 3rd line role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hockey Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 For the life of me I still don't understand why? Just like the summer Raffi was let go. Especially after GMMG says we need to get tougher. I was hoping they'd keep Lappy and sign Latendresse. Then they could have a French-Connection line of Burrows-Lappy-Latendresse! French men play with great pride, and seem to elevate their game in the play-offs. Great fourth line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked the guy. I honestly think the big reason was to shake up the room a bit since the top-6 are all locked in. From a hockey perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense. Wish him all the best in St Louis.

Nordiques_fan Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I will remember the GWG in game 5 of the SCF. Tough angle, found the net and the joy in his face was priceless. I thought after that game it was in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vv2 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Better yet Lapierre vs. Richardson Roy vs. Cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 He wound up signing in St. Louis instead: When Maxim Lapierre hit free agency this summer, he had his heart set on one particular destination and it wasn’t St. Louis. TVASports.com spoke with Lapierre (link in French) and finds out he did all he could to entice his old team, the Montreal Canadiens, into signing him. Here’s a poorly translated quote from the story. “I did everything I could to get back with the Canadiens, but I did not figured in their plans,” he told the media at Hockey School Latendresse-Lapierre. Lapierre spent the first five and a half seasons with Montreal before being traded to Anaheim on New Year’s Eve in 2010. He wound up signing a two-year deal with the Blues instead of landing back with the Habs this summer. For a guy who doesn’t exactly have a great reputation you kind of feel bad for him that he couldn’t return home. We’ll likely forget all of that when he suits up for the Blues and finds new ways to terrorize the Central Division. http://prohockeytalk...gn-in-montreal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I wish we had re-signed him. Richardson - Lappierre - Weise/Santorelli would have been a nice 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prngr44 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Couple articles in Stl media saying the Canuck organization had asked him to dial it back with the hits and " on the edge" play and he didn't want to do that. I'll dig for some links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
