Goes to show you don't need designated fighters on the roster taking up a spot, you just need guys who are willing to show up for the dance regardless if they win or not. Pearson did that tonight. Got a Gordie Howe hattrick with his assist and empty net goal too! Pearson's not back to 2019-20 levels, but his recent offensive uptick has definitely put him a higher scoring rate than last year. 2019-20: 0.652 (53 points in 82 games) 2020-21: 0.353 (29 points in 82 games) 2021-22: 0.441 (36 points in 82 games) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a lot better playing away from Horvat, seems to take more initiative in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I would feel proud of a teammate who fought to defend me or a teammate, even if he lost the fight. Although I'd love my teammate to win the fight, it's secondary to the idea of standing up for each other. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a massive statement to me... its almost like you guys are arguing with me and I am agreeing with you. I think Pearson stepping up was awesome I also think Pearson won the fight so far I think we all agree what I said was , "IF" ... "if he gets schooled , pounded, bloodied, sent to hospital. THEN the effect is lost Then the story is that the other team can have their way with your whole roster. IF Pearson had lost as badly as Soucy (not badly) it still has a positive effect on morale So, to agree with yous again, you don't have to win the fight, but you have to show up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, no not arguing with you... just damn pleased to see somebody (anybody) stand up for a team mate... Same happiness I felt seeing OEL, another player not known as a fighter, standing up to be counted. I truly believe the dressing room gets closer big time for it.... Hoping to see a tough guy on the 4th line, but still wants the guys to show they are united.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to see a tough guy on the 4th line, but still wants the guys to show they are united.... I agree with the first part. I also agree with the second part to some degree, although I also think it's important in today's NHL to ensure that guy can also pot some points here and there. I also believe that based on the # of fights from year to year that it's basically being phased out and won't likely be a major factor inside the next several years - even if it can make a difference currently. For too long, our bottom 6 has been inadequate and hasn't been able to contribute much on the scoresheet. We saw this year that when our stars are struggling, we just don't have that scoring depth to keep us afloat. So if we did get a fighter for the 4th line, I'm good with it - as long as it isn't a thug and plug like Deslauriers or our recent moved player in MacEwen - both of which have extremely limited upside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree on that... I'm not in favour of some punch bag hanging around, but I wish we had somebody, who could really could throw them... I get you point with MacEwan, but the really issue is the cap. A player, who can both play and throw them, doesn't come cheap... So I guess its some sort of trade off... To be honest, Its probably a fan thing as well. The players don't seem too intimidated, and just walk away, where as we want blood, when our players get targetted. I still see pictures of Jumbo Joe sticking fingers in the mouth of Henrik, and the rat slapping him around etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps if we do end up trading Miller, and we need to take back some short term cap, Reaves along with Schneider wouldn't be horrible... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd imagine we could get Schneider, Reaves, a first and maybe another prospect or pick for Miller. Sign Nic Paul this summer and we're laughing. Maybe move Hamonic as well (I'm getting tired of his spotty availability and his vaccine heel dragging etc) and replace him, short term, with Lyubushkin this summer if they don't think Schneider will be ready. Sign McNabb or similar to play 3LD this summer. Next year: Hoglander, Horvat, Boeser Podkolzin, Pettersson, Garland Pearson, Paul, Dickinson Motte, Lammiko, Jasek/Focht/Lockwood etc OEL, Myers Hughes, Schneider (Lyubushkin/Hamonic if not ready) McNabb, Poolman Rathbone, Schenn, Juulsen, Woo etc as depth. Hopefully draft Jiricek this summer too. Edited January 6, 2022 by aGENT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying that for a long time... we're looking good going forward, but a big mean crease clearing D-man would really help this group out. I love Schenn, but would like a big upgrade on him... and feel that would help us big time...McNabb would do well with me....

Might even be able to get McNabb cheap this TDL when they have to find cap for Eichel. But a contender likely rents him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Tanner Pearson...the reincarnation of Chris Higgins, circa 2010-2013. Legit third liner who teases you with flashes of second line capabilities. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
