Pedan should be playing over garbage guys like Weber and bartkowski! Start using him more like biega! Hopefully biega re signs and those other two duds don't! Pedan will and should be a sold 5th or 6th guy! Will atleast help sbisa with fighting on the back end!

I'm suprised Luca Sbisa has a 9-4-2 records in NHL fights according to hockeyfights.com.

I'd like to see Pedan in more. He's big and he has the tools we need. He's a bit rough around the edges but that's what coaching and experience are for.

Haha Bartkowski even kind of embarrassed himself participating in the hardest shot competition... I think he hit like 90 and 85 :p

Yet somehow finds himself on the PP on occasion (his passing and shot accuracy aren't any better) :facepalm:

Drouin's agent publicly requesting a trade. Virts for Drouin :badpokerface:

I'd do Vrbata + prospect for Drouin.

well good morning to you guys in vancouver...
saw the cover page for the province on twitter

Yzerman owes us one for that Garrison gift.

I hate fucken media, being a Canucks prospect that's a fucken joke front page article and they are the same people bitching how are prospects never go anywhere.. Seeing shit like that locally pisses me the fuck off.

Botchford is a goof.

Yah good job, Virtanen will want to stick around here long term when the Vancouver media posts and writes articles like that... Even if it was partially his fault who fuckin cares? You don't beat the shit out of someone publicly for trying their best at something and not succeeding.

Without reading it, I don't think the article would be related to his effort. It was the stupid penalties he took game after game which lead to PP goals against. Was frustrating to watch, for me at least.

Botchford is a tool! How does the Province newspaper hire idiots like this guy???

-so easy for the media to choose a player as the scapegoat for the Team Canada losing to Finns. Yes, Virtanen did take penalties in the game vs Finland which result in power power goals given up.

What the damn reporters don't realize is that team Canada was never firing on all cylinders throughout the tournament.

If you wanna put blame for the team losing in the quarterfinals to Finland, BLAME THE ENTIRE TEAM AND THE COACHING STAFF. You win and lose games as a team.

Botchford takes the easy route and blames Virtanen instead. I bet this idiot never played one ice hockey game in his life! :facepalm:

Should ask Botchford how he'd feel being plastered all over the front of a newspaper at 19 years old being called the reason something went wrong...... I hope this comes back to bite his ass in the form of getting cut off from Canucks coverage, such a dick move... what an asshole.

I mean come on, the whole team sucked... and if those 2 goalies are the best goalies Canada has to offer right now, we've got a whole lot of problems.

Ya, Blackwood's rebound control vs the Fins was horrendous.

if GM MG was still in power, that regime would have buttoned him up pretty quick as they did with senile old Larschied (sp) when he started blowing his load over iginla and the flames.

this regime though is far to pussy to do anything about it. If i was the Canucks i'd just band together and say fuck Botchford no one give him anything. Especially after all that joe thornton bullshit

Botch didn't write the headline, his article is far less critical of Virtanen than the headline makes it out to be.

hope that is true..

Ben Kuzma on Horvat...about Virtanen

Kuzma: Horvat knows what Virtanen is going through

anyhow... national villian... sorta like Marc Andre Fluery...ha ha ha...
but he has a ring :(

trade virtanen + vrbata + hamhuis to tampa for drouin

can we include you in this trade as well?

.

To sell papers..and to get a reaction

province..you cheap fucks

how i wish one day, someone in the lockerroom stands up to botch...and I really wish that person is Ryan Miller or Henrik Sedin

No but you've already been traded to hong kong, when are you coming back to vancouver bruh?

He already left for Edmonton as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
