Gudbranson is definitely not an Irish surname, and Guiness is almost a stout. Guddy is not stout. And although it could be Germanic, Gudbranson rolls off the tongue easily went pronounced with a Scottish accent. Scotch Ale is always a strong beer to boot.

Gudbrand’s-son was probably no different than the rest of them.. probably a Blood Ale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a Scottish surname, It's a Nordic/Scandinavian name. An Akvavit would go down well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish names typically end in -sen not -son. Erik is also used in every Scandanavian country, including Iceland. My guess is that it is not a traditional name. From the looks of it it's part Swedish mixed with another European name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be bastardized Norweigen. Gudbrand is an old Norse male first name, and they used to follow the -sson -ssen -sdotter tradition for last names. There are still families in Norway with the Gudbrandsson spelling of the last name according to google. Potential just a gradually modified spelling of that.

Although there are islands of Scotland that formerly belonged to Norway - see the Nordic cross in my avatar - Scandinavian surnames are relatively uncommon. Scandinavian for sure. "Son of Gudbrand". I'm inclined to say it's a Swedish, Norwegian or even Icelandic name that has been changed slightly over the generations after emigration to North America.

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted November 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2018 Erik Gudbranson's Top 5 Tracks: Quote Are you ready to rock? Erik Gudbranson certainly is. The Vancouver Canucks blueliner skated by NHLPA.com to offer up his five favourite musical acts of all time. As for which group he’d love to step on stage and belt out a few tunes with, the 26-year-old D-man opted for a heavy metal band that was formed in the early 1980s. And with that, here is this week’s edition of 'My Top 5'! GUDBRANSON'S TOP TUNES 1. THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER “I love AC/DC. I’m taking them, for sure. I just live and breathe those guys and Metallica (see No. 2). I’ve been listening to them since I was a kid. I still listen to Shoot To Thrill before I go in for any game. Every game I’ve ever played, I listen to it.” 2. ENTER SANDMAN “Big fan of Metallica. It’s a childhood thing for me, just like AC/DC. I guess my favourite song by them would be Fuel, but there are so many. I could say One, or I could go with The Unforgiven. I could pick any one of their songs, really. If I could get on stage with anyone, it would be Metallica and I’d play Fuel. But I have a terrible singing voice and I can’t play the guitar either.” 3. CALIFORNIA DREAMING “I’m a big rock fan, which doesn’t seem to go around much any more. I still love stuff with guitars. The other group I liked as a kid – the more I think about it, the more influential they were – was Linkin Park. My favourite song by them is probably 'Don’t Stay'.” 4. HIP HOP TO IT, PART 1 “I’m going to throw a curveball. I just have to figure out who I’ll go with. I’m going to go with Method Man. I’m serious about that. I don’t mind it at all.” 5. HIP HOP TO IT, PART 2 “I’m also going to go with the Wu-Tang Clan. It’s just so nice to bob your head sometimes. That’s really what it is. I’ve been thinking about doing some guitar lessons around here on my days off, but it hasn’t come to fruition yet. I have one, but it sits there and collects dust right now.” MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT “If I had to choose a teammate to go to a concert with, I’d take Alex Edler. He’s the only one on the team that likes the stuff that I like. He’s old enough to appreciate the guitars – and that’s not that old.” https://www.nhlpa.com/news/1-16278/my-top-5-erik-gudbranson 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Gudbranson's defensive game is really coming around. I'm hoping now that it's solidified that he can start cracking skulls a bit more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the team develops more of a “pack” mentality. Have to appreciate Gudbranson’s admiration of Petterson’s game.. he will most definitely be keeping an eye out for the young man. I Still think Tryamkin would be the perfect addition to the D core next season, the way the game is evolving.. both Big men can play the game, and punish opponents physically.. would be nice to see that roll on 2 of 3 D pairings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam, While I think the chances of Tryamkin returning are not good I totally agree about needing more physicality on the backend. MDZ always engages but I see him gone after this season. Hutton has the size and is revamping his game so we will see with him. Even with the return of Tanev and eventually Edler, the pairing of Guddy and Hutton have shown they are legit 2 pairing d-men. I still want to see Tanev moved by the TDL and Edler resigned. Joulevi has the size and with maturing might bring a physical side that we have not seen that much of as yet. Woo is wowing in the distance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to your list of D, Rathbone, and let’s not leave out Brisboise. it almost feels like as we see our new offence surfacing, the D prospects are just a step behind in that development time line.. and I emphasize “step” as being only about a year . Next season could bring 2 to 3 new faces ready to compete at a high level on the back end, and those faces coming directly from our farm system that JB has created. Like you, I beleive Tanev and will move, thus supplying us with a well scouted players to end up in our farm and arriving in the NHL 2- 3 years from now. This new decade of hockey in Vancouver looks truly exciting, and I haven’t felt about hockey in this city like this since the arrival of Bure in full flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If you had told me that at one point during the year, Gudbranson would have 5 points in 4 games, I would have slapped you silly, but here we are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
