He isn't mean. Canucks need mean. I remember the Tryamkin issue with the Pronger videos. I agree we need mean. It's not something that can be taught, I don't think.

Even though Canuck LENNING knew coach Willy wasn't coming back, they enabled coach Willy to piss off Tryampkin so much, he decided to high tale back to Russia. That was a fiasco....Just another fiasco by this rookie LENNING duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something that can be taught, I don't think. I don't know that I would call Tryamkin "mean". He is a big guy, who can swat away smaller players with a swipe of his arm. Mean is Ted Lindsay. Mean is Wayne Cashman. Mean is Semenko. Mean is Gary Howatt (all 5' 9", 179 lbs of him), who took down Bob Dailey (6' 5", 220 lbs). Besides, while it is nice to have tough guys on a team, it is better to have team toughness, yes? Would you like Horvat to fight more? I wouldn't. regards, G.

It's not something that can be taught, I don't think. Anger makes you stupid, stupid gets you killed - Michonne lol Yes, I agree that the Canucks don't have enough bite in their lineup, but I have liked the way they've been playing lately. I noticed Zadorov was prepared to drop the gloves against Guddy last night. Guddy came in, gave him a shove, kept his cool and skated away from the hot head. Zadorov took the only penalty. Guddy is tough, but he's not stupid. He will drop the gloves if need be. Benning mentioned they're looking for a physical top 6 forward, so maybe they'll get one. Might cost them Goldobin++, but so be it. I'm hoping it's Bjugstad to centre our 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Trade picks for a mid-20's something prospect who hasn't really reached their potential yet, but who Linbenning believes can become an impact player with the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a history of concussions and the Canucks aren't in the position to give up multiple assets to trade for a guy like this.

Baggins Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 16 minutes ago, canucker1971 said: So you sign Erickson for $36,000,000????? Is that transition to a younger team when you sign a guy with past concussion issues who was 31 freaking years old????? They also said they wanted to try and remain competitive while doing it. Trading for guys like Vey, Baertschi and such (unporven talent) are rebuilding moves. Signing veterans like Miller, Vrbata and Ericksson are try and stay competitive moves. If you recall four years ago in sober moments there was no prospect pool to rebuild with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you weren't aware of (or are choosing to ignore) the changes to the team which were made that first year? Tell us how you would have blown the team up and moved out all of the dead wood with NTC and NMC clauses in their contracts? As it was, the only ones they did manage to get out were Garrison and Kesler (who did want out). regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does bottom 5 for three straight years make them COMPETITIVE??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He adds toughness, a guy with one of the worst reputations in the league, and claim he is a "FOUNDATIONAL PLAYER" like his guy Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
