Popular Post Provost Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, Bobby Lou said: That be one of, if not the best 4th line in the NHL assuming Phil can still keep pace. Ya, it is of course up in the air if Kessel can get to game speed. I wouldn’t bet against him. Looking at who we have to go through to get to the finals, our bottom six has a chance to really play heroes against other teams who are more top heavy and don’t that that depth. It is already the recipe of why our third line has been successful this year. Instead of being turned into a defensive checking line, Tocchet is letting our top guys match up with the opposition’s top guys… then our third line is often playing against scrubs and 3rd pairing D.

stawns Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 32 minutes ago, WHL rocks said: Kessel is being brought in because of his great personality in the locker room. Not on ice abilities. I've read in the past that he's a great person to have in the locker room. His personality and ability to help the room stay relaxed and calm during a long playoff run are apparently what the Canucks management is hoping to get out of him. He still scored 14 goals last year and is still considered an offensive threat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rekker Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 I don't get the angst. It's zero risk and the people making the decision between management and coach know what they are getting into and what the team needs. If he's in shape, try it. I have my doubts for sure, but it's literally zero risk. 5 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could pick any active player to have a beer with, it's him. Can 100% attest to the personality. Played poker with him at WSOP a few years ago - it was a lot of fun. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll need to prove his worth, and RT shouldn’t over-estimate that, either. "I will feel betrayed if he is signed the same way I was with Messier signing" and "just need to wait & see" seems like not exactly the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TUSK v2.0 Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 1 hour ago, Coconuts said: Even if he has lost some wheels, and that remains to be seen, there's no doubt he's probably got more hockey sense than anyone on our fourth line Can't teach smarts, he's got em Having a guy like him on the third or fourth line bolsters our depth, all he needs to do is help the third or fourth line score against lesser opposition, having been a skill guy for as long as he has there's a good chance he can do that That goal against the canucks was last spring, for everyone thinking he's "old"....

But that's not the reason he's being brought in.. I don't expect him to see a lot of ice if we go deep in playoffs. It's mostly the locker room stuff.

Phil with the twins for 6 minutes per night of 4th line cycle domination. I'd love to see the "unretiring ceremony" of their numbers. That sort of ceremony doesn't happen every day.

Neither. Hughes will either pass it to Demko or Boeser as our longest-tenured Canucks on the team, and then the guy he doesn't pass it to will get it third. Oh shit. I just jinxed us. Sorry guys. I shouldn't have taken the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
