J-23 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Look at Calvert sticking up for his teammate after a clean hit. Fought Kassian, knew he was going to lose just happened to be the closest guy near the play. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey gets hit quite often. However, if it’s an illegal or really late targeted hit, then someone needs to step up. Calgary, Edmonton, Avs, and almost every other team in the league sticks up for there star players. Someone should have stood up for Motte, and Petey. Also did you not see the Bruins stick up for there goalie, and THEY got a PP out of it. Rather go down with some heart than a bunch of cowards. I don’t think anyone on the ice would have known it was a late hit unless they saw a replay. Boston stood up for their goalie because there was a player right there. The Canucks stick up for Marky all the time. It’s not like they don’t stand up for their teammates. This is being overblown. Even if they chased the B’s player on his next shift you think he’s gonna drop the mitts? The guys 5’9”. All it would have resulted in is another Boston power play. Sometimes you just have to take a number and get your revenge next game. Exactly what we saw with Kassian and Tkachuk.

Let’s just say nobody on the ice or bench saw that one, fine okay whatever. How about the Motte one? Clearly driven head first into the boards. What happens next? Bo and Karlsson have a conversation about it. I understand it’s not the 80s anymore but sometimes you have to defend your teammates and star players. Teams like Calgary, Edmonton and Vegas will walk all over us in the Playoffs once they realize it’s open season on our stars.

This literally happens every season where fans whine about the Canucks not gooning it up. Im all for sticking up for players if the timing is right. But the idea that we’re going to send a tough guy out to chase around Gryzlek all game is just silly. The game has changed, better get used to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those aren’t teams that run over other teams. Vegas plays a heavy game so I’d be a little more worried about facing them. But you’re overreacting if you think this team doesn’t have an answer to physical play. We’ve seen it many times this season. They know how to stand up for themselves.

Are you serious???!! The hit was seconds behind where the puck was. That is exactly where the players on the bench look. Give me a break..... And even NHL players can understand when they see a late hit when it is over 2 seconds after THEIR player passed it. Just quit... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey can’t stand up for himself, when the other guy is twice his size… The Playoffs will tell now, I hope the boys stick up for one another come April. Answer for Kassian, where was the answer for Matheson. We just played the rest of the game like nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking up for your players is not Gooning it up by the way More like fans being overly sensitive every time one of our top players get hit. Star players get hit all the time with out some grand response. It seems like this market in particular just has some sort of complex when it comes to this stuff. Maybe Ferland would have answered the call who knows. We’ll have to wait and see what impact he has in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Like I said Petey gets hit almost every game. When he gets body slammed or someone throws a late check on him hard into the boards we are going to get mad. Idk how (anybody who calls themselves) a fan can watch plays like that and not get mad or “sensitive.” That’s one of the best young players we’ve ever had, the league has ever had. 3 minutes ago, DeNiro said: More like fans being overly sensitive every time one of our top players get hit.

And don’t ask why I quoted you like this lol. I never said I don’t get mad. My anger was towards the refs for not making an obvious call, not our players for not jumping Grzelyck. Im going to hold my judgement on the until we play them at home. If they don’t make it a tough night on him then I would question their willingness to stick up for each other.

Just helping me prove my point, Petey can’t really defend himself like I said. He’s not strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but we’ve seen this situation before, that’s why most fans have been complaining about team toughness for the past few years. This scenario is just becoming a broken record year after year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How effective was that with McDavid? Who on Pettersson’s line is going to go drop the Mitts? Miller? Boeser? Hughes? Tanev? None of these guys are fighters. If you have a beef with a lack of response focus on Green and Benning for not putting enough toughness in the lineup. I don’t know where pretending we have a tough lineup is gonna get us. That’s not how the team is built whether we like it or not. Edited February 6, 2020 by DeNiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Did you not see the video I posted above where Matt Calvert stood up for Nathan. Is he a tough guy? No lol. When did I say go out and get a tough guy or trade for Lucic Sticking up for teammates is not a tough guy thing, anybody can do it. I’ll post it again in case you didn’t see it. Fought Kassian, knew he was going to lose before even dropping the kits, just happened to be the closest guy. When did sticking up for your teammates be a tough guy thing? Miller sticking up for Stech? Hansen for Daniel? Neither tough guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
