BabychStache Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 With the Twins back in the fold, it has me thinking about when the Canucks turned the corner around 2008/9. Sundin coming in really seemed to give the Twins the last bit of confidence needed to take the step to elite level. In addition there was a trio of youngsters with buckets of Swagger. Bieksa, Kesler, and Burrows arguably formed the most hated trio in the NHL at the time. Confidence that would often cross into Cocky territory. It was a great compliment to the Elite level talent with the Twins and Luongo. So with this current team, who has the most Confidence/Swagger? JT? Bo? Boeser? Petey? I really don't know. The high end talent is there, but are we missing that last little something? I'll admit, I wasn't able to watch as many games this past year as I hoped for, but I like what I see in Chatfield and Lind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Petey for me right now. But maybe Hogs as he gains confidence. Bo definitely not. Miller is more of a hot head. Boeser is more the Prince Charming type. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Petey has an odd mix of swagger and humility. Brock is just pure humility. Miller might have some, but he also really beats himself up for mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to tell anyone who asks that his nickname is “Big Sexy,” even though I strongly suspect that no teammate has ever called him that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person can be extremely confident in their abilities, cocky even, but still be high character outside of when they are on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see more swaracter or chagger from the Canucks players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t rage at video games as much as Gaudette did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'NucK™ Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I feel like Petey & Schmidt are like 99% of the way to having "true" swagger. They usually have it, but then at the slightest of things not going their way, they seem to lose it. And the whole point of really having swagger is that you don't let that happen and come out the shift after a mistake the same as you would a shift after a goal. Maybe there is too much pressure from the coaching staff to play a mistake free game? Obviously, no one likes mistakes, but sometimes the best way to avoid mistakes is by letting players play without the pressure on their shoulders of what will happen if they do make one. Sorry for the ramble, just thinking out loud here pretty much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Funny how most people here are dismissing JT Miller. Petey probably has the most flash and thus the most swagger, but I'd put Miller second. He plays a lot like Ryan Kesler did for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Man Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) This thread deserves a poll JT's a close second but swagger has a chill so..with that said.....PETEY:) Edited June 25, 2021 by Cat Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
