Popular Post Zhukini Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Poor team had Petey a few seasons ago. Gaunce always seemed like a genuinely nice guy tho, maybe too nice for hockey in a weird way. was hoping he’d stick around NA as he’s been productive in limited minutes and been a + player for the most part. Looks like skating did him in though. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 people were so up in arms when Brent Sutter thought he'd top out as an nhl 4th liner. turns out that was generous. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImConfused Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Huge pickup for the Lakers, they definitely winning the NBA Championship this year! Also, does the word "tvåvägsforwarden" just mean forward? Isn't that a lot of extra letters and a wasted umlaut? Weird.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like skating did him in though. I think the problem was, he really didn't excel at anything. Wasn't especially terrible at anything either but you need to be more than just "ok" at most things. At least at the NHL level. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Never really understood why he didn't get a chance in the past few years. His AHL season in Providence was excellent and his last four NHL games produced four points. Even his 37-game season for the Canucks in 2017-18 showed a big offensive improvement, even if it was still lacklustre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His overall skating ability is definitely his biggest drawback. Guess it was too much for other teams to take a shot on. Even as a taxi squad kinda guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It always frustrated me how he was built like a fire hydrant yet was never physically engaged in any game. That being said, I didn’t mind him in Vancouver. Getting to play pro hockey in Europe is still an unbelievable way to make a living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I always thought Gaunce could make a living playing a similar game to Beagle. I like the guy and hope he can get to where he needs to be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 career earnings so far about $3 mill.

rekker Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Still remember some Christmas roast where one of the players, I think Bieksa, introduced Gaunce as the only NHLer who charges his girlfriend rent.

Millsy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Exactly, and given he had no lateral ability, but was straight line fast he needed to learn to use his big body to bang and crash. the problem was, in Junior he was a cerebral offensive player getting a point per game. He wasn’t willing to do the things needed to stick in the NHL. He would have stuck around as a 4th liner or even 3rd line shut down guy if he was willing to change his game. He wouldn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
