*Buzzsaw* Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The question which needs to be asked of Canucks fans. Even neutral observers like Brian Burke are asking this question. Yes or No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Having additional players will result in a 2 minute minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yes %1000 needed. Tonight's push back was absolutely gutless. Not a single player even layed a hit on him. I blame the coach. He's giving these instructions. I was fine when they didn't get back at Matheson since it was a one goal game and the W was important. But Kotkaniemi was on the ice plenty of times after the game was lost. There shoukd have been a response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe no player wanted to punch someone in the mouth after this... but knows the coach won't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 No, the league does. Sure I would have liked to see someone reck Kotkaneimi but the league needs to punish stupidity and prevent these injuries from occurring to all players. Stupidity such as that play is not needed in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckledraggin Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yes. And it's not even necessarily fighting. Return the favor of a cheap shot or at the very least grab him and give him a facewash. There's just nothing. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKilo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 NO Back bone! Gutless reaction. Hook, then hold, then thrown to the ice, then vicious slash ... no punishment or push back when your best player gets treated like that. Be ashamed of yourselves boys!!

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Cheap injuries vs Cdn teams Cheap injuries vs key US markets (I'd like to see some comparative, statistical data). Over a decent period of seasons. Trouble is, even categorizing each injury leads to debate. Especially after the holidays. By now, most Cdn markets have sold the majority of this season's tix.In PO's or out, most Cdn markets will sell the majority of available tickets in the 2nd half. Many US markets are just fair-weather, bandwagon-types. Subsidized(Rev sharing! :^) by the ripped off, Cdn consumer, who's been hoodwinked & scammed for almost THREE ****ing decades! Love the Canucks Hate this F***ing league. It's simply a dishonest, rigged deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather watch hockey for the skilled players, not goons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 From what I saw, 30x in slow motion, was Kotkaniemi inserting his leg between Elias' legs, then snaking his body, and legs around Elias, then twisting, then falling. This was a calculated take down. And no one did anything. That was no accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Green needs to care more about image and less about a couple of points. "Safe working environment for the kids".... I'd love to know what that looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 No additional players, but as Brian Burke said yesterday, this team needs to stand up for their teammates, especially their superstar. Starting to remind me of Marchand and Sedin all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I would love for the Nucks to get Kurtis Macdermid from LA for Del Zaster, they are both terrible defenders but at least he fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounoush Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'm sorry but what would another tough guy have done in this game? Gone after an 18 year old for getting tangled up with EP and falling awkwardly on his leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
