Kanukfanatic Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, Toews said: Sure he did bring grit but he was also a liability when he was out there on the ice. He can't pass the puck, he can't move effectively to keep up with speedier forwards. And beyond that he was not improving but actively regressing. I think his confidence is just shot to $&!# and it looked like he was spiralling downwards. Good for Benning for getting what he could and giving him a fresh start elsewhere because it wasn't going to happen here. But I will also say that people really need to chill regarding the hatred for a player that is underperforming. I don't think it reached crazy levels here but twitter and HF were just a real $&!# show. The crap that fans hurl at players for not performing for their favourite team can become so disgustingly personal. I don't hate Guddy. He seems like he is a nice guy. He is a bad defense man though. I am glad he is gone. Too bad we didn't get a pick instead of pearson but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trade looks a lot better if Schenn can contribute at least a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go out there and Bertuzzi people, we know how that ends. Yeah like two months later, AFTER we ripped the team for a lack of toughness. Lol. This team missed his supposed toughness WHILE he was here. He had two real instances of being tough in his entire time here. One was self defense on Hamonic and the other was the Virtanen incident. Then spent half his time here injured. Will not be missed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WZRD Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Canucks are even more soft now. And people are wanting to see Schenn. He’s just like Guddy but even worse I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys, but the illusion of toughness isn't the same thing as actually acting tough. You think if he brought toughness he'd be traded? no. He wasn't as advertised. It was too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he dodged everyone including non tough guys with 2 months notice what makes you think he'd do anything but turtle if someone on the ice actually saw what happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blömqvist Posted February 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) The only gripe I have with Gudbranson's time here was that he wasn't given an extended look with Alex Edler; Gudbranson's most common defense partners were Hutton (pre-2018.19 revival) and Pouliot. He played with Edler for a short time last season and he looked great. He looked every bit as the physical top-4 shutdown defenseman that Benning advertised him as in that short stint with Edler. And even then, Edler played a "bigger" game too. Unfortunate that he didn't get that extended look with Edler but all the best to him. Half the fan base ragged on him but he will be going to a cup contender in the Penguins without half the expectations that he had here.

DIBdaQUIB Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 AS poor as his play was, he did make a difference at times just by his presence. The new NHL doesn't allow guys to hunt down offenders and pummel them. It is also no longer a career ending humiliation to refuse to fight so his physical intimidation was marginal. HIs defensive failures just weren't enough to offset his physical attributes. From what I hear, he was a class act and a good team mate. I wish him well in Pittsburgh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
