cuporbust Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Perspective: just thought I'd post a few vids for fun. We building a very tough team to play against. Fun to watch , not fun to play against. Bringing in gudbranson was another step in the right direction IMO. I love what's happening here. They are not just bullies and plugs , but also good skaters and skilled, just thought I would highlight their toughness. think we are on the right track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive Canuck Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 i hope we don't do this half ass. Sign Lucic and get 1-2 more monsters and then were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite part is the look on Tryamkins face after. My guess he's thinking "that was easy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No to Lucic. He's slow and useless. His last year in Boston, he was getting taken advantage of and cheap shot all the time and costing the Bruins games with his retaliations and antics. Don't want him here since he is slow, useless, classless and will cost more than he's worth. Plus I'll boo and heckle him every chance I get which I admit will be fun for me but balanced by the fact that I'll despise seeing him disgracing a Canucks jersey. LA can suffer with Lucic.

Pickly Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 A balanced lineup of speed and skill mixed in with size and physicality is what Benning is aiming for in the future . So far so good with his drafting and trading. You can't ice a team full of bruisers because in today's NHL it's no secret that speed kills.

Trebreh Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I want to see Ferkland make the mistake of hitting our top players when Pedan, Groot, Gud and hopefully Lucic in the lineup... oh and Dorsett tooo haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just hope it's more tough because we win and score and not that Calgary pound of flesh when losing bullcrap they used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Nikita and gudbranson. None of them are no talent , slow plugs. He's adding guys that have all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 This offseason, all the Canucks grew an extra 2 or 3 inches with the addition of all this team toughness. Haven't seen this much toughness on the Canucks in a long, long time. This can't be understated... every player from the Sedins to Hansen to Hutton won't be afraid to stand up against the other teams knowing that they have muscle backing them up all over the ice. I say go and get Lucic and give this team an identity. Tough and mean. As Larscheid called em in the past... "Hack, Wack and Smack" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remind me and please bare with me here How does a team with the following genuinely get bullied and at what point do we stop sacrificing skill for size Gudbranson, Tryamkin, Dorsett, Virtanen, Horvat, Pedan, Sbisa, Etem and to a lesser extent the spark plug Hansen. The size and skill and snarl amongst those guys is already deterrent enough Unless of course everyone wants fighting in which case give your heads a shake because for the umpteenth year in a row fighting was down yet again in the league and the two teams contending for the cup right now didn't exactly storm the league in pugilistic endeavours...

I read a couple articles on Nikita that disagree. Especially when he transitions from forward to back , he's more then fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Lucic for the next 4-5 years, rugged team that takes no crap while we rebuild. Wouldn't mind Matt Martin replacing Dorsett either.

So far the jury is still pondering on him by the way he was used last year, the jury being Benning and Desjardins not CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
