Snake Doctor Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 After watching Tom Sestito in the heritage classic yesterday and also the last few games, I have come to really like what he brings to the table. This guy now reminds me a liitle of Gino Odjick, and that's what this team needs right now. He did not back down last night and was a beast on the ice. We need another Gino Odjick and hopefully Tom will deliver this brand of hockey to our team. I was watching the game at the bar and one of the patrons was irrate about putting Sestito on the ice when the Canucks were down by one goal. First of all he has more goals than Burrows, Schroeder, and the same ammount of goals as Booth. He has put up better numbers in the last few games than than the guys expected to deliver points every game. I have a good feeling that Tom Sestito will improve his game to another level in the next 19 games and bring some grit and secondary scoring that this team needs. Way to go Tom, keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksHockey11 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 He's been one of the biggest and best surprises of the season. As a team thats not a good sign but, hey I'm happy for Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 During the tank phase, yes, we'll need to prop up our 4th line talent as if they were 2nd liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckin Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 He actually had some good chances at the net even though he was looking for a good disruption. He does not get enough ice time in my books but when he does get stuck out on a long shift he looks tired. If he works hard this off season he could really shine. Cardio for the win!

EmilyM Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 He gives a damn. That's about all you could ask for and you can't seem to say that about everyone lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Love that Sestito is only 2pts behind Clarkson.. just to remind Leaf fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien37 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've been calling it since he came here. A goon that CAN PLAY. Idiots here wanted him waived and many have said "worst player in the league". Just curious...where are these people now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I thought we just had a good goon on our hands - it would seem there is a little bit more there. He has decent offensive instincts too, and its the first time in ages we can say we have an AMAZING 4th line tough guy. I think as long as Torts is here - Tom Sestito will be too. He's never going to be a big goal scorer anything, but he sure beats some of the previous "Tough guys" we've had - Tanner Glass, Darcy Hordichuck, Mike Brown, Shane O'brien I wish we could have seen Rypien & Sestito on the same line.

Toni Zamboni Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 i would still like to see Burr and Sestito on the same line...... the Burr-ito line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 He's been a pleasant surprise actually, he does exactly what's required of a fourth line enforcer. He might not be the best fighter, but he's got more than one dimension to his game. He skates decent, generally isn't a liability on the ice, has decent hands around the net, isn't afraid to mix things up physically, and works his butt off. That's all anyone can really ask of a fourth liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Sestito is excellent value for his salary. He fights anyone, he hits, and he can score . In fact, I would like it if he concentrated on scoring a little more. He is capable of potting 10 to 15 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I second this. I expected him to simply be a goon/plug but was pleasantly surprised that he can actually play. Impressed that he can skate so well and the scoring touch is a bonus. Yep, I'm on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDrinkin Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I wish we had Sestito for our cup run in 2011. He's huge and intimidating, and has some hands, throws big hits and fights anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 SESTITO KESLER KASSIAN "Squatch Mode" This was the best line I have seen from the Canucks this year, and it was only for 1 period vs Anaheim; they dictated the play. Why has this line not been put back together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has this line not been put back together? exactly, they dominated, instead im stuck watching Daniel family skating. what a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
