I loved his segments on 650, he really broke things down and was critical when it called for it. I agree as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Same could be done for a lot of guys, I think Burrows in particular, although he's basically part of another organisation now. Funny how Bieksa left compared to Kesler, Burrows, Edler, the twins and Hansen, and how they'll all be remembered slightly differently. Some are legends, Kesler is almost viewed as a villain by some and Edler is almost forgotten about despite being arguably the franchise's best ever all time defenceman.

grandmaster Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Good player in his prime. Loved how he stepped up physically. Scored that big OT goal that got us into the Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more yes men (and women) and country club attitudes. You don’t get anywhere doing that. I’m a pretty big Canucks homer and even I can’t argue with most of his takes. He seems to follow the team very closely and draws from his own experience to analyze the team. Would love to see him in a player development role to start. Not many players have a better idea of what it takes than a guy drafted from a non traditional hockey country in the 9th round. He had to work for everything he got. This.... Spot on @DeNiro He had to work for everything... Just like Burrows and Juice A true workhorse, despite neither being the most gifted or strongest they all made it. He'll know, what it takes to get, where the players wants to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice gesture, but it's not like they truly retired after playing for that team. Absolutely. It's Disney movie crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any player knows what it takes to work your way to a solid NHL career, it's a 9th round 287th OA draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made sense under the circumstances and the Canucks used a roster spot for it so it came at a cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to 650 a lot and he actually thought when our pk was the absolute worst in history that it was the players fault not the strategy. He said the pk wouldn't improve because we didn't have the personnel. I kind of laughed because that's always the tale of a one dimensional player no ability to adjust. When walker and Co. Took over the pk they changed the strategy and our pk got significantly better. Also did he not remember Tyler Motte was on our team? Other than that I really like his segments.

Boudrias Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 KB will always be a Canuck. From the time with the Moose you knew that. With the Twins retirement night when all the boys came back, including Kessler, it was special. The same with the ‘94 team reunions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
