Worst Canuck?

CLOOOTCHAY GOTTA GO

Nucks should have dumped him when they had the chance and invested in a real goalie back then. We would all be singing and cheering what heroes they are if management had made that move.

Somehow I REALLYdoubt it

When you lose that many games by one goal, overtime and shootout with an the Manitoba Moose goalie between the pipes, you up you know I am right

He cost $6M and is a fucking -19 up to game #81. Yeah some leader I'll say.

-19 is crap for a 'offensively minded' team. The worst +/- on the Flames is Andrew Ference at -12 and Ference is a junior defenseman with a much lower salary.
Big Burt is a big liability and obviously a poor defensive player with a weak offensive.

So he's a shitty defenseman. Damn good thing that isn't his position then I'd say.
I dunno man, the team is simply lacking a leader as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, it means he sucks at even strength.

Ok, I'm not a hockey expert, so can someone explain exactly how the +/- is figured out? I always thought that it was a ratio of the number of goals scored for and against a player while he is on the ice. Does this include goals that he scores himself? And does this not apply during special teams play?

I still think that the worst Canuck ever was Petr Nedved.

This is how it works. If a player is on the ice at even strength and his team get scored on, he gets a -1 and vice versa. Special team plays do not count.

You want to know what killed the Canucks, Bert -17, Naslund -19 and your supposedly best defenceman Jovo is a -8. It basically means that they get most of their points on the power play and is more of a liability than an asset when the team is at even strength. Most of the players on the 1st line of their respective teams are usually hovering around zero. When 2/3 of your top line can't score more than they let in at even strength, you team is in big trouble.

Funny that there are 43 votes for Bertha as the 'worst Canuck'! but neither Naslund nor Morrison even ranked!

Crawford is a close second ... but toss in Nonis and McCaw and 'managment' takes a definite second place in voting.

 

[Cock Throppled]

Fraud is the biggest drain emotionally and defensively, but Crawford has to shoulder the most blame. He failed to motivate his team in the stretch, when any normal team would go all out to advance. Crawford's biggest problem has always been his habit of playing favourites and it divides his teams. When a back-up goalie has one bad game it's career over for them, but Cloutier can do no wrong. When a player like Morrison, who has a lot of heart plays badly he gets called out by Crow publicly, but nary a word is said about the crap play of Naslund and Fraud. He will stay with guys like kesler and Burrows all season because he likes them even if they don't produce, but Park gets benched for having dry spells. It goes on and on. The Crow must Go.

Keenan traded Linden for Bertuzzi and McCabe. That was brilliant.

Burke traded Bure for Jovo. Who couldn't get Jovo when you had a guy like Bure in his prime.

as much as im anti canuck, i would have loved to see the team keenan would have put together if he had the chance, he was starting something good here, then in walked burke...

Even though most people hated him, Keenan actually kinda grew on me... I liked how if you pissed him off, he'd make you know who was boss... HIM... Bure, Linden... GONE...

I liked his take no prisoners attitude... and he was always entertaining in his interviews...

 

[joe dirt]

unlike crawfords uselessness same old monotone responses, as much as crawford has over stayed his welcome, something tells me nonis doesnt have the balls to fire him and will give him one more season. i bet some where burke is lightign up a cigar and making prank calls to McCaw and laughing i know i would, LOL

 

[LonelyGhost]

u i bet some where burke is lightign up a cigar and making prank calls to McCaw and laughing i know i would, LOL

what does burke have to laugh about? this is HIS canucks team! just wait until burke starts driving guys to the airport in Anaheim and see how that affects the 'team'!

if the nucks had gone 'all the way' THEN burke would have been able to laugh about it because it would have proven that HE made the right choices ... right now the 'ducks' are flying on a good goalie and some team spirit ... the very things the 'nucks' were missing.

Go Leafs Go...

awwwe...shit. Fucking Tampa Bay.

Every last Canuck sucks ass...from the management and owners right down to the die hard fans....sometimes you get suckered and sometimes you're just to stupid to notice.

Ansen Carter(spelling?) is the only Canuck worth watching hard working and tough.

Leafs are in the same boat this year...can't decide if I am just a sucker or stupid...

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Laffs have been in the same sinking ship since 1967.
