Best prepare yourself for it now and save yourself the righteous indignation later But he draws just as many penalties as he takes and throws the opposition off their games. Canuck fans are going to love him once he gets up to speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to the Twins but the current Canucks PP looks much more dangerous. If Roussel can draw penalties !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Roussel cleared to play and will likely slot in tonight. Beiga designated for waivers tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronic.Canuck Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Really enjoyed his game the other night. Nice goal on the penalty shot as well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 He was a very bright spot in a dark game on Saturday. He was flying hitting people all over the ice, got his shot away even after being hooked, got a do-over and scored, overall his game was really good. I really enjoy what he brings to the team, I hope he terrorizes teams the league this year, and helps reverse the soft team mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Small sample size, but Roussel neads to clean his game up. So far, he's third on the team in penalties drawn per 60 with 1.87, but first by a country mile in penalties taken per 60 at 4.37. For reference, Virtanen is second with 1.94. In fact, Roussel leads the entire Pacific division in penalties taken per 60. Obviously, this can be attributed to his playstyle, but referencing last year, it can be seen that Roussel was much more responsible while still being aggravating and drawing penalties. Last year with the Stars, Roussel led the team in both penalties taken per 60 and penalties drawn per 60, but his penalties drawn was 1.98 and his penalties taken was at 1.85, netting a positive end result. The point is, Roussel can play a more responsible style and I expect his numbers will eventually normalize a bit, but I do hope that he's not trying too hard to fit the vision of Vancouver fans instead of just playing his game. I like what he brings to this team and hope he can be our new Maxime Lapierre. Note: I just realized this excludes tonight's win against Minny, so the stats may be different now.

J-P Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Also that double minor for high-sticking he got by mistake against Pittsburgh will screw up his stats since he hasn’t played that many games yet. But he still needs to be effective without putting his team in the pk so agree on that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 These phantom calls against him are crazy. But love his aggressive game for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I've been critical of Roussel, but he seems to have picked up his game recently. Dropping penalties taken per 60 and his penalties drawn per 60 has rocketed up and he's now leading the team in that stat. Still a negative number overall, but noted improvement. He's also producing a great level of offense for his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO the level of 'truculence' in the roster is not gettig enough credit. Guddy, Hutton, MDZ, Edler, Beagle, Roussel, Horvat, Schaller, Virtanen and even Mott are making this club much harder to play against. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I can see why fans in Dallas were unhappy about losing Roussel. I like his game. Solid defensively and has the wheels to get up ice. Great physicality. Opposing teams know going in that it is not going to be a fun night. Beagle brings much the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
