I think it's a team thing. Skille didnt wear one in preseason but he has one on now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Malholtra injury, maybe all the Canucks are supposed to wear the visor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than handful haven't worn a visor since Manny's injury the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was a young guy playing, we didn't ever wear helmets. That's the fifties and sixties though. I don't see why guys wouldn't wear a shield these days, even if they are Boppers.

Now that he's 'coaching staff' he may have a more powerful influence. Why else would the players you mentioned suddenly start wearing visors?

Glad we have players that hate losing. Danny didn't look happy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassian should just not Bop with guys wearing visors. He should just decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 He needs to step up the intensity and physicality of his game. Been fairly unimpressed giving his play so far and what we gave up to acquire him. I hope there is more to his game then just pushing people away and ontop of the goalie after the whistle. I've seen more people blow around him than getting blown up by him, we had D that could do that already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Gudbranson is a big part of that. One of the youngest groups in the NHL. We might all want a more overtly physical game but the reality is that the team has a real problem with scoring which leaves the d-core with less flexibility with the higher risk associated with physical play. It exposes them to missed assignments, missed contact or penalty. I am excited about what this group evolves into even as soon as next spring. The group as the potential of a CUP quality d-core. I include Gudbranson in this group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
