Carol Schram: Team toughness the centre of attention as Vancouver Canucks face Sabres The Vancouver Canucks will head into their four-day all-star break with their team toughness under the microscope as they host the Buffalo Sabres.

As usual I'm waiting for everyone to leave the old thread...

Thanks Carol.

Pettersson with 2 goals and an assist


Virtanen and MDZ asked Lewis to fight, his hand was taped up so he said no. Overblown story.


If they want a Dorsett type then give Archie a shot before trading away an asset for one. Then sign one in the off-season if Archie is too slow for the NHL.

TY Carol,

"Play less nice"

Hopefully someone has Pettersson's back when he get's his NHL welcome.

Hopefully the guy who hits him doesn't refuse to fight twice.

Edler will take out Lewis' knees at a later time.

We need toughness on both counts not only individually but from a team mentality standpoint as well. Very hard to find a balance of both.

or doesn't want to put his team down

time to trade for lucic he has intangibles

On this team toughness issue, do the same thing to there best player or give lewis the bussines the rest of the game and I know we don't have those types of players but grow some balls and don't put up with the crap, who cares if you hurt your face or hand, you have to have some kind of response its stupid to do nothing and it pisses me off watching them do nothing, theres my rant.

Tampa Bay is such a tough team.

would you fight if you know bettman is gonna suspend you since you're on the canucks and take thousands of dollars out of your pocket?

i'll say.
the hit wasn't that bad imo.
penalty worthy sure, but i'm not a huge fan of fighting after every hit. i do like hockey fights tho! (phew. Masculinity still intact).

The only deodorant and cologne I use is the sweet smell of manly sweat. Chicks love it and the beta latte drinking hipsters in starbucks tremble in fear when they smell it.

Hopefully someone "Steve Moore's" Lewis in the next game.



Seriously, people are upset with the Canucks. I'm more upset at Lewis.



If you can't fight then don't try to run the other team's best player and refuse to fight twice after the fact.

Random question, but since I'm staying up for a 10p game, if you had to pick, would rather have what you guys have (4pm Pacific starts when you play in the east), Or have 10p ET starts?
