SergioMomesso Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Todd Bertuzzi is one of the few Canucks over the last 20 years to have a been injury free during his time here. Once he was traded away, the injuries started piling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Crow chew out Accoin on the bench. Bert had just started to show what he was to become the following season. Crow was pissed and you could tell that he knew that the season was a right off atm. Edited September 2, 2018 by Phat Fingers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 On 8/27/2018 at 4:57 PM, The Lock said: To be honest, I think the opening roster is going to be really hard to figure out. There are so many possibilities. Combine that with Benning clearly stating he's willing to bury contracts in the minors. Outside of maybe the first line and a couple of spots here and there, it's essentially throwing meat into a pack of hyenas. lol I think Green should go Old School and staple open ended plane tickets on the locker room bulletin board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 DAHLEN - PETTERSSON - VIRTANEN That might be Virtanen’s career right there. The talent of Pettersson should be enough to liberate Virtanen to play his game. Im not saying start the season with that line but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at some point. That leaves Horvat and Boeser to do their thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They became physically tough but their attitudes toward the game could have used a bit more pushback. That slapfest in 2011 by Marchand should never have happened. As great as they were, from that moment on, I knew the Canucks were done for a long, long time until new leadership came about. I answered in another thread that Bo shouldn’t get the C right away. In fact, i believe Horvat does have the pushback to fight through everything he faces. Perhaps he should be Captain indeed.

Virtanen may not be a true top 6 talent on his own but with Dahlen and Pettersson they could have really good chemistry and he could Burrows his way into the top 6 by having good chemistry with top 6 talented players. BUT I still believe Jake has the potential to be top 6 with anyone. He has that kind skill imo, just a matter of putting in the work and putting it all together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been some talk of Bertuzzi lately, I think we would all agree that he had top 3 talent. He didn't score 25 goals until he was 25. His goal totals were pretty low before that. I am not saying that Virtanen will equal Bert but his incredible speed, great shot and size should get him to 25 goals within the next couple of years if he is given a chance to play with talent. Right on pace with Bert. 25 goals would have put him in 17th place among RW in the nhl last year. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I am sure Elias will struggle, 5on5 especially first 10 games probably will only get 8 points then he will find his groove. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My perspective was a little different than yours, although I agree is should never have happened. As I recall, the Canucks had a very good PP at the time (best in the league, I think) and I believe their gameplan was to draw as many penalties as they could. The team was encouraged to stay disciplined and let the opposition take the penalties. The Bruins took advantage of this; especially when they realized that the referees were not going to call the infractions. As far as I'm concerned, there were just too many instances where the refs just turned a 'blind eye' to what was going on. 2 hours ago, Me_ said: As great as they were, from that moment on, I knew the Canucks were done for a long, long time until new leadership came about. I think the team as a whole were 'broken' in that series (as were many of the fans). Gillis created a championship team at the expense of the future, so the (prospect) cupboard was bare. 2 hours ago, Me_ said: I answered in another thread that Bo shouldn’t get the C right away.

Speed and skill is winning games, so the nonsense that went on in 2011 wouldn't happen today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I like that possible line too, also the presence of Virtanen will help protect Pettersson because the other team will have to have their heads on swivels wondering if the tracks of that freight train are pointed at them. Could be even more interesting if the back end behind those guys consists of Tryamkin and Woo. Edited September 3, 2018 by Ray_Cathode 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmy Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Can hockey start already!!! I'm just so cautiously optimistic for Elias. Part of me believes he's just so damn special that I think he'll get 70+ points while helping us sneak into the playoffs. The logical side of my brain says he'll sit somewhere between 40-55 pts (depending on games played) and finish top 3 if not win the rookie of the year. To be honest Im happy with both because it would mean were on our way to being cup contenders again. Really though we all know this besides the bandwagon fan and a portion of those "journalists" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marchand didn't even get penalized on that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
