Rekker Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 No Zack then. I suppose the three year contract scared some teams off. I guess the Canucks carry on with a chaos master, who's a muffin, and a big physical player in Jousha, who's a muffin. Flyers showed how easy Canucks are to beat when you play them physical. The books been out for years, yet here they are, still the same. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I understand your point Batch. We weren't good at that time, if that's what you're eluding to. But we aren't good now, at least so far this season. As a fan, I'd rather be not good but at least physical and tough to play against. We have some talent now, but soft as usual so what's the point of having any talent if a team just plays us hard and we suck. Playing small, and unable to recover from being pushed by other teams is the Canucks identity right. now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know a lot of that has to do with the league changing. We always had a tough team though, until we no longer did. And 100% agree. We weren't good during the Keenan era, but we're very very tough for example. Our character guys from the early 80's, we're traded for a kings ransom later by Quin. Some of them anyways.

Totally agree...we still lack a lot of toughnesss out there. Time to time we still see guys taking advantage of Pete and no one steps in. With Joshua and Macewen on the same line would be fun to watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least MacEwen will drop the gloves and stick up for his teammates. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still room for these guys. I remember the game when Scott Walker fought Chris Murray and Murray knocked Walker out. What do you think happened the very next period? Donald Brashear stuck up for his teammate and went after Chris Murray. They literally dropped the gloves at centre ice. Donald Brashear knocked out Chris Murray. That was probably the most gratifying revenge fight that I witnessed in Vancouver Canucks history. I miss those days. Our team today is an embarrassment and is as soft as butter. If anyone doesn’t believe me and wants proof of this story, I brought the receipts. Here is the video evidence… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's a worse player than Joshua so that is accurate. as for Beauvillier he's a streaky player and everyone knows that. He'll either be traded at the deadline or moved on from at free agency.

I thought he was making more but the term makes it moot and he's not a good player at all, people need to see more than the minute level of toughness he brings, you could find another tough player without the term and that can actually play.

I get it, Mac isn't going to score. But to have that around as a 13th F option seems fine to me if we can swing it cap wise. Then get one that can learn Tocchets system. Sorry to say but Zach is lost on the ice similar to Virtanen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
