I agree. They are right on the money. The turd brigade in Burke and his cronies are far too elitist and negative on players to listen to. They're garbage and they probably realize it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anyone who says x player's value is negligible is clearly more fan than hockey knowledge. If you want me to believe you know nothing about hockey, then that's quite possibly the quickest way to do that. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canuck Way is just a less analytical and polished site of the exact same breed as Canucks Army. Both offer derision of the players and management. Both have whiny, entitled bloggers drafting $&!#ty articles. Birds of a feather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're blogs written predominantly by people in the local analytics community who cherry pick statistics solely to prove their point.

Guds looked good when paired up with a steady veteran player like Edler (who's is still a legitimate 2nd pairing guy). I wouldn't want him to mentor a rookie - not yet anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post aGENT Posted September 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2018 https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/erik-gudbranson-vancouver-canucks-interview-linden-hughes-sedin/ Quote As deeply as he loves it, Erik Gudbranson resisted all urges for adventure this summer. Besides booking a direct flight to Toronto and making weekend jaunts back home to Ottawa to pound stakes in support of his mother’s political campaign (more on that later), the formidable Canucks defenceman — who memorably was enjoying an African safari on the day he was traded to the Canucks — refused to let the travel bug bite him the way the injury bug has since orcas splashed his apparel. Projected to patrol the Canucks’ second pairing alongside Michael Del Zotto this season, the six-foot-five, 220-pound right shot has appeared in a grand total of 82 games since joining Vancouver two years ago. Each of the 2010 third-overall pick’s Canucks campaigns has been marred with surgery, a not-so-merry Christmastime wrist procedure in ’16 and season-ending shoulder operation this past March. “It’s been a tough couple of years, a couple big surgeries. That’s part of the reason I came to Toronto this summer — to be in the right program and get myself feeling good,” explains Gudbranson, 26. “The biggest thing for me is just not get hurt.” Del Zotto sold Gudbranson on training this summer with BioSteel’s Matt Nichol, and the player’s agent hooked him up with sessions with highly regarded skating coach Dawn Braid. Rehabbing diligently since June 1, the hard-hitting, stay-at-home blue-liner now asserts that his shoulder “feels really good,” and with Vancouver committing three more years and another $12 million to the big man, the club is banking on better than a 50 per cent rate of attendance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
