Dana Murzyn lost foot speed but was very effective pre 96... Lumme Murzyn was one of the better defensive pairings we've ever had. 

agree with that.  plus he would murder anyone in front of the net.

That seems like an appropriate comparison 

I don't. Murzyn was a battler, but his skating was horrible. That's as an NHL'er. He'd probably circles around the rest of us. But his heart was always in it.

Cement shoes ... or concrete skates.   And yes he could skate circles around 99% of posters

you ol timers remember that series vs Calgary?  Gary Roberts would park it in the crease and Murzyn would unload the lumber on him so hard.  Roberts was one tough SOB but he took so many shots to the neck and back that he ended up in a horse collar.  Those good ol days are gone...now players exchange tik tok and instagram info inbetween whistles...

i think with all the rehab he had to do he ended up being a strength coach / rehab expert himself.

Did you have to look that up!  BTW - i've watched every away game in OTT and MTL the past decade.   So you don't have to remind me of that...

Wow that an achievement, great job

This would have had done a better job of retorting, if it used proper spelling. So not that great a job, really.

You know an argument is over when all you have left is spelling/grammar retorts.

Yep, still if you are going to diss someone else's job, make sure you do yours. Helps with the impact.

Going on a tangent here...(i could use a break from the Canucks anyway haha)

 

even though he was a Flame for a long time I respected him (Roberts).  Tough as nails.

 

Check out 41 year old Gary laying a beat down on Ben Eager.  The best part ...George Laraque (tough SOB himself) mocking Eager from the penalty box for taking a beating from the old guy.,

I hated Gary Roberts, the Calgary Flame.

I would have loved Gary Roberts as a Canuck though.

Every team would love to have a Gary Roberts. 

 

I cheer for all Canadian teams.. always have since young age.. canucks #1 i like the Caps as well. But i have no problem cheering for Flames Oilers Jets etc when they not playing the Canucks.

Folks it's only ONE game.   Don't over think it.   We lost - it happens - move on. 

Try 4 losses in 5 games to the same team.  It is not just one loss.  It's 4 losses. 

 

You have to look at the bigger picture lol.
