*Buzzsaw* Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 There is no other way you can describe this guy... he is an artist with the puck. He scores hi-light goals, ROUTINELY, goals that other players might hope to score once in their career. Such amazing precision and patience. It is a pleasure to watch him. It's actually sad the guy was playing in Arizona... if he had been matched with a decent center at the peak of both's career, (like Henrik) he could have had 50 easily... he is 33 now... and I am hoping we get to watch him till his contract runs out. This was a GREAT signing by Benning... has been a big part of this season's successes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I consider it a hat trick tonight. 2g and 1 goal saved same equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 made a statement tonight for sure. 25 goals so far...should easily get 30 by seasons end. I cant believe some people around here actually thought we should trade him...I love this guy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FijianCanuck Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 He's always had success against pacific teams, the guy plays with a ton of confidence and you can see it in his goals. By far jbs best signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 16 players have 25+ goals. Excluding ELC's (Kucherov, Tarasenko), average cap hit is $6.45 mill. Vrbata comes in at just $5 mill. Only Pacioretty, Simmonds, & Tatar are cheaper 25+ goal scorers than Vrbata excluding ELC's. ...Vrbata is a wizard with the puck. Most talented player (alone) on this team. Absolute beaut!

HerrDrFunk Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Definitely one if the top UFA signings in the league this season. Can you imagine if he had been on the Sedins wing in 2011? The man has been an absolute treat to watch. Between him and Miller, JB is batting .1000 with the UFA signings. I know Miller hasn't lit the world on fire exactly but he's stolen games and been solid in more games than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfly Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I find the character of Vrbata and the Sedins similar in a lot of ways. Pretty calm, collected guys. Clever players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 When we first signed Vrbata I kept telling people he's exactly what this team needed for the simple reason that he's been scoring goals in the same division as the Cali teams for a living. The days of the Canucks dominating the NW division are over, they have to build a team that can score against the California teams and getting a sniper who's proven he can do exactly that helps bridge the rebuild. That being said he's exceeded even my lofty expectations. He has the creativity of someone playing NHL 15 but he's actually out there doing it for real.

We actually win 65% of the games he plays... couldn't ask for more, and Vrbata... is Vrbata... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijianCanuck Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Vrbata reminds me of mikael Samuelson, a gifted scorer who calmly goes about his business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Artists are hipsters who want money for their worthless garbage "work". Radim Vrbata deserves a much more important and respectable title based on his world class skill and hard work. In one word, he is a SNIPER. When the season started I knew he was a good goal scorer who would score the kinds of goals few others on this team could score. At this point in the season, it's becoming clear he is scoring goals only the most talented players in the entire league can score. The Canucks badly needed this guy and he's showing how big a difference even one pure goal scorer can make. I didn't get to see much of his skills while he wasted away in the desert but it's awesome having first row seats to the Vrbata Snipe Show this season.

I've only seen a few games of him in Phoenix, but I remember their Playoff Run either last year or the year before, damn did he score lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
