"It's pretty cool to come in see. I'm just trying to watch what he does on and off the ice. ... I'm just trying to emulate him as much as possible." TSN and The Canadian Press article about Gaudette emulating Jay Beagle. Well done GMJB, for bringing in highly motivated veterans to help guide and mentor our young prospects. Thanks, some folks like @appleboy need to see things like this. 1 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading stuff like this. JB knows Beagle has the reputation for not only playing the right way, but he knows how to get into incredible condition off the ice. Hearing our young very talented players are learning about being a complete professional from Beagle is great news. Now, combine Beagle's incredible commitment to fitness and being a professional with the elite skills of some of our younger guys, like Gaudette, and we end up with super players, who make it to their top level. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expert fans take notice. Jim Benning is not an idiot. When you hear comments like this you can see theres more to the Beagle signing that most of us didnt even know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, but does he need to emulate him for the next 4 year ? It is the term with Beagle. Maybe Jay will be an exception and still be on top of his game as he ages but unlikely.

Gaudette Celly Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Why not? And what about the other prospects that will join the team in that timeframe? And since when are things like TRADES no longer engaged in when it's time to move on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wasting you're time even responding to someone who is fixated on Beagle and the length of his contract while totally tuning out the fact that Beagle can be traded at any time during said contract if someone better can take his place. I think he just likes to stir $%^& up to stroke his ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not footing the bill and the team is not up against the cap. He really needs to move on from his fixation and find better things to discuss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if say in two years, we're a playoff team again and we are up against the cap, that contract may end up looking a lot worse. But regardless, the point is that you can't assume motive when someone says they don't like a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are up against the cap, they can trade him if need be!!! What is it about you and Appleboy and your lack of understanding that that contract can be moved out of town at any point in time before it runs its course??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, regardless of what your opinion on the matter is, assuming the motive of the person is a pretty $&!# thing to do.

I will always question the motive when someone keeps coming back with the same old rant ad nauseam. I am a straight shooter and call a spade a spade. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

People like @appleboy have likely never been in a real dressing room let alone a professional one and seen the incredible impact a dedicated player can have on the rest of the team - particularly impressionable rookies and newer to the league. Beagle's legendary attention to fitness is up there with the Sedins and that should help any younger Canuck hopefuls who think they can make it on skill alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a lot longer than that....would be good to see Gaudette have a 15 year career and emulate the professionalism and dedication to fitness and the game that Beagle does. If Gaudette stopped those things in his fifth year that would be both odd and unfortunate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL players spend far more hours off the ice together than on the ice. What goes on in the room, in practices, on travel days and during weight sessions is where impressions are made and lessons learned in far great number than during games. During a game you have a set job and need to focus on that. Off the ice, you have time to observer others and learn. What someone like Gaudette and can learn from someone like Beagle "in the room" (which means outside of the actual game...and includes between periods and before first puck drop) is far more than apparently many can appreciate (given some of the comments made, it is clearly evident they don't understand that at all). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Jay Beagle can show the rooks many things about professional habits and dedication..... Hopefully the Canucks have a few other players that can also be role models for the kids... I am thinking Bo is definately a great role model as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
