Oh come on , I'm not saying you hated him but most everyone on this board did. Edler and Sbisa used to get the most hate out of everyone on this board. They are the kind of guys whose two-three donkey plays override peoples rationality to see 20-24 minutes of relatively mistake free hockey. kinda like Phaneuf really.

I always supported Sbisa. He made the odd bonehead play which casual observers will quickly pick up on but he also made plenty of subtle positive plays that you need to be on the ice to appreciate. He is a hard guy to play against and well respected by his teammates

lol

People act like we had the Vegas version here the whole time. He was (frank)ing terrible for at least half his tenure here.

Credit to him for improving, and I’ll admit he’s turned into a decent dman but I refuse to act like he was a steady dman here.

He and Bieksa cost us the Flames series, they looked like ECHL’ers in that series.

meh

just another edition of “who’s your fav Canuck scrub” or “which Canuck scrub sucks the least”



This is a fanbase who once got excited by Matt Bartkowski during pre-season because he could skate fast

He's better than anyone who played in the 3-4 spot last year for us. It was a mistake and he should have been protected, which I mentioned before the draft and MANY on here disagreed and laughed at.

- Nucker101

Gaunce was the other pick apparently, but yeah I would happily expose either of those for a guy that can actually play top4. I hope they bring him back this offseason if they can, I'm not sure he could be enticed though.

He loves Vancouver and would come back if they made a decent offer

I honestly think he would be a nice fit to come back. Not a ton of talented UFA D's this year. Moore would be another I'd be into, Maybe even Green on a short-term contract with no trade protection.

Very true. Bieksa was so concerned with calling Ferland "Ferklund' he for got to play any defence

Must have been over on HF . We love our guys . Only Lefty Nucker and Belcher ever say anything bad about any Canuck
- VANTEL

that is I’m puking so bad emoji, you obviously forgot the because neem is spot on, people only focus on the few bad plays and then continually female dog about Edler, Tanev, Sedins, Eriksson, Sutter, Gudbranson and so on.

Oh don’t forget...Benning is an idiot every day.

I don't really care what a guy was three years ago. Players progress or they don't. Sbisa's on the incline and has been for a bit.

If there is one thing I've learned from both playing and watching a frank load of puck, people tend to focus on the one-two mistakes and have a hard time with the big picture. I know that was me for a long time too, I think stats and watching lots of tape help you start to see beyond the obvious bonehead plays.

Still can’t believe the Sharks/Ducks pro scouts actually recommended Bieksa to their GM’s. Shows you how old school the NHL still can be, reputation goes a long way

Gaunce was already exposed so who else do you expose on defense to protect Sbisa?

So does Wilson get 1 game for that hit? Looked pretty late and forceful to me
