He didn’t produce and wasn’t that good defensively or really all that physical. He was bad with the young players. He was big, right handed and good at face offs and provide a small amount of physical play. He was behind the play frequently and was where offence went to die. He was a decent 4th line C getting paid a fortune and crapping on our youth. hope he has recovered and glad he has moved on. Not good with the young players? How...Oh calling them out. Ok. Isn't that what veterans are for? Or are they there, instead, to kiss their boo-boo's, like some people think they should. Balls.

Popular Post IBatch Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 Don't understand why anyone would turn this into a Brandon Sutter trashing thread. He played well for us under the circumstances. Wasn't his fault he was supposed to fill Kesler's shoes, or that he went from ironman to Sami Salo overnight. It's hockey. Get over it. 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Not sure if Edmonton will have enough space for Sutter's balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when that clown Ryan Johansen speared Gudbranson in the sack and Edler and Sutter jumped to Erik's defense and chased the gutless Johansen around the ice. Sutter was a good teammate.

bishopshodan Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Well Edm probably has the best horse paste. Good luck making the team B. Not a big loss for us, I never thought you could build a foundation out of Butter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Good call, signing Brandon to a PTO. This is a notice/warning to all the other 'maybe' players. If they can't beat out a a 34 yr old covid victim, that hasn't played pro hockey in 2 and a half years- that is on them. No excuses for those that can't best him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't his fault he was supposed to fill Kesler's shoes, or that he went from ironman to Sami Salo overnight. It's hockey. Get over it. No doubt. He never lived up to completely unreal expectations but he gave his all to the Canucks and has gone through a horrible illness and recovery suffered while he was a team member. Deserves some respect. Definitely didn't hurt our team except for his absence in his last contract year. His face-offs and PK alone would have made quite the difference that gloomy year.

If he makes the Oilers and actually makes valuable contributions to their bottom-6 - their 3rd line, specifically - it’ll make me think the Canucks were asleep at the wheel and missed out on a desperately needed and cheap FA RH 3C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 86Viking Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 Best of luck to Sutter after what sounds like a terrible bout of Covid...No matter if its a Canuck player, your ex wife or whoever you never wish that kind of suffering on anyone. Hope he is able to make the team and finish his career on his own terms by at least "trying" to resume his NHL career. If it doesn't go well I am sure he will be at more piece with then possibly considering retiring after giving it a go. He also must clearly be working out now if not even harder than he ever has cause he will have never been this rested during ANY of his NHL off seasons. IF he can earn and NHL contract and play NHL games again I would be happy for him after what his last 2 years have been like. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, they're all individuals and different. Pack mentality applies when they're in the heat of the competition/game. But players train with players from other teams in the summer....it gets dropped and they're all just hockey players. Sutter was on THIS team...so to suggest he hates Vancouver isn't really supported through your comment. And listen to JT's interview to see that the NHL is a bit of a brotherhood once the game ends. Many players speak fondly of their former teams/teammates. I mean, players don't stay on one team and learn to embrace their new homes as they move around. I don't think it's soft to not burn bridges, I think it's smart and more common than holding on to hatred and loyalty based on one particular place. That's pretty limiting. I forgot my usual "yawn" to your post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal comment partner. My post highlighted how few games he played and how much he cost. Comments about points and plus minus were only a part of the picture. You need to improve your reading comprehension buddy. Sutter was a big disappointment and an anchor contract while he was here. The majority of the fan base agrees with this. You somehow missed it.

One of the bigger Benning disappointments on a long term contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His impact on the team was muted by injury and his cap hit was a problem. I have had season tix for years and I watched Sutter live many nights. He was inconsistent as a player. He was also often a passenger. You are entitled to your opinion - wrong though it may be. But listen partner how about stopping taking swipes at other posters simply because they disagree with you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
