Do they serve Fuzzy Navels there.

Seriously??
Physicality isnt fighting ffs. Its on the wall and in front of the net. Gudbranson sure can throw em but Larsson wipes out your superstars all night long

Ask Hall


Ask Malkin

Canucks should fire their hits guy.

Gudbranson: 2.2 Hits/game (T-37)
Larson: 3.1 Hits/game (9th)

Yeah, those are beaut hits. Too bad we didn't see any of those types in a Canuck's uniform. I wonder if Guds hurt his hand in his fight against our old buddy Kassassian early in the season.

Gudbranson has only played 30 games in the West so far. Once he is more comfortable with the conference and the system, he will be a beast again.

But more importantly did anyone see Tryamkin annihilate Blobbee's Boi - Jamie "Ryan Clowe" Benn the other night? It was a thing of beauty.

lol annihilate.

With 5 inches and 20+ pounds, you'd hope the guy could win a fight...

Not sure why the hate for Benn. Local kid, helluva player, does it all. Easily better than anyone in the Canucks organization. I guess that makes you sad.

I think maybe the system he knows is fine.
Willie seems to have a tendency NOT to reward tough play, in fact, think I've noticed ice time cut down for it.
Gudbranson, Tryamkin, etc. Doesn't appear to like guys taking themselves out of a game for two, or even worse, five minutes. Even if it's coincidental penalties. Just sayin..

Maybe, just in that fight vs Kassassian, it looks like he punches the boards then the back of Zack's helmet a couple times.

Maybe, but just the other day Willie D was not happy that Tryamkinsaurus was not physical enuff vs Marchand. Saying they would have won if Tryamkin played Marchand like he did J.Benn.

Indeed; He has sent a lot of mixed messages, especially, this year.
If we are confused at things, what of the players?

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but Willie does talk DIRECTLY to the players, and not to you.. he doesn't have to sort through the hours of fantasy and speculation that you do.

I bet they players know exactly what he wants.
