*Buzzsaw* Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I guess Benning wants to give his experiment with Larsen a few more games... but lets face it, the guy has been underwhelming. No physical presence... and his goal scoring touch has disappeared with the move back to the big leagues. Defensively he has been tentative... the 6-3 goal vs the Wild was a perfect example, he should have been hard on his stick and on puck... but he wasn't. Biega is not going to set the league on fire offensively but he will fight hard in the D-Zone and brings a significant physical presence despite his lack of size. Also has more speed than Larsen.

CanadianRugby Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Benning experiment has failed. Never seen a "rebuild" where you draft twice in 4 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Willie makes the call on who plays. I don't like Larsen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 6-14 with Larsen in the line up what was the record with Biega in the line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 He's had points in the last two, so if he can continue that we'll see. Aside from that, I see that Biega has more value to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 He really is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It should be a given this time. He played less than 14 minutes even though Stecher was out for a while after blocking a shot. If Willie doesn't trust him out there then it is time to put Biega back in. If he doesn't then there is something fishy in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 meh, he only cost us a 5th round pick. Low risk gamble. I'm all for stockpiling picks but at least this guy had decent numbers in the KHL - worth a taking a flyer on for that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It's failed. No big deal. Only a 5th rounder lost. But stop forcing it. Play biega or pedan/subban instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If we trade a defenceman like rumours suggest we will, then we will need depth d-men like him. Our young guys in Utica can come in when they're ready instead of forcing them in due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Larsen is doing to this team, what that parasitic alien did to the late, great John Hurt's gut. & it feels about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Larsen is more like a "Red Shirt" guy in Star Trek - minor character rather than a great thespian like the late John Hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstand. Nucks are the host; Larsen the Wild Alien! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
