Going to MTL would be a better option if he wants to win a cup in the next couple seasons. It was just a joke anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Not so sure, Habs might be on the down-swing now. Price isn't enough to carry them and cover their deficiencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It seems some people don't remember the Canucks constantly getting pushed around. This team needs skill AND size. Not one or the other. Im sure some goof is going to say 'well, that's the way the league is trending! Small fast guys!' Nope. Maybe in a handful of years, you might see that claim take shape, but in the mean time, keep those shrimps off the Canucks. Man do I dislike small weak players. The makeup and style of the league changes so often. It wasn't long ago where big strong tough guys won you cups. I don't want to fill the roster with tiny twigs, then get beaten up by the teams who didn't dig the latest trend. Not every team team is going to follow the small guys. Then one year a big team will will the cup, and everyone wants big strong players again. This guy is 5'8. When I was 13 years old, I was 5'10. I will not cheer for a guy I could beat up when I was a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality was though, if the Canucks had punished the Bruins with the powerplay, their crap would have stopped and we likely would have had a cup. They just couldn't get it done although injuries, especially to the D, had a lot to do with it. That was the start of our PP woes the past six years, and it's a mystery to me how you can have two elite players like the twins who cannot seem to figure out how to fix it.

Gaudette Celly Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 lol, Eklund is at it again this morning: Quote Hunwick... Matt Hunwick is drawing attention from Vancouver and the Leafs appear to be mixed on whether or not to keep him moving forward...I would hold onto him, but many in Toronto seem to feel they need to do better...

Our tire fire of a power play is a totally different mystery. Our size issue has has been a problem for years though. Yes, 2011 was embarrassing. We got straight up punked out of the rink. We still continue to get to get pushed around though. And for me personally, who prefers a big strong team, it is still embarrassing to watch. This is is a men's league. Why the heck are we begging for more children in the league. After a while it is going to be a weak sad excuse for a game. It is just like men in general for real life. It's getting more and more acceptable to wear your little sisters pants. A man bun is a real thing. It is offensive to have any natural testosterone in your body. You can't just be a man anymore. Everyone loves these pampered, turbo sensitive, overly PC, wieners. It a handful of years, you will look around on the street and wonder 'where did all the man go?' that is the problem with small people in the NHL.

Provost Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 It is a more complex thing than just height. Most of our bigger guys entirely lack physicality and small guys like Biega play tougher than their size. We do need physical players for sure, and I remember hearing Linden recently saying that we needed a more traditional 4th line because we didn't have the size and physicality in the top nine like some other teams who could afford to roll four lines. There is a reason they were interested in Kane and why they picked up Gudbranson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 This guy had 9 points more this year than sutter did on his contract year... That means in 2 years JB will give him 5 x 5.5 AAV... Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda get it. I dunno just seems a bit extreme to associate smaller height with a lack of toughness. With that said I am for sure on team "bigger is better".
