Did Tanner Glass Really Play 20 Playoff Games for the Canucks in 2010-11?

[Crafton]

every hit is soft and ineffectual. he's a black-hole offensively. hell, even Craig Adams (the man who went a full 82 game season without a goal) has scored on the fourth line. oh, and the fights. they're lovely - he's lost every single one by an overwhelming margin. he might be the most useless hockey player i've ever seen. please Canuck fans shed some light on this character. does/can he bring anything in the playoffs? how did you feel about 7:29 TOI/G that AV gave to him for 20 playoff games?

thanks.

He's the best at fanning on a wide open net during the Stanley Cup Finals but other than that, he's useless

We know. We're just as surprised as you are that someone wanted to pay him money to play hockey.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Yes.

Tanner Glass is tragic and missed a wide open net in Game 5.

TRAGIC.

 

[jigsaw99]

AV that's why... he loves them plugs like Glass.

We had better players in the Moose that should of been called up. Tanner Glass was brutally bad.

Glass is barely an AHL player when he played for Rochester.

My mine beef with Glass was the very first thing mentioned - he doesn't hit hard, ever. He lightly rubs guys out and accumulates 'hits'.

I recall him easily falling down when hitting guys.

 

[Seattle Totems]

did a bear **** in our Stanley Cup?

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

I was there when this happened. This was basically the exit door for him.



Great pass by Tanev though,

Fanner Glass

 

[vanuck]

Yes, he did. Though he never should have, being hurt.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Yes, he did. Though he never should have, being hurt.

There's really no quantifiable difference between hurt Tanner Glass and useful Tanner Glass.

Good at scrabble, though. *shrug*

Guys like Glass are a dime a dozen, but our coach likes grinders. Burrows and Kesler rose from humble grinding roots to become the offensive threats they are, and AV seems to think that in every Glass, Volpatti or Pinizzotto there's a Kesler or Burrows trying to get out, and only icetime will encourage this emergence.

Oh, why did the Pens get him? No idea. We were pretty much just happy to see him gone.

He's a character guy in the locker room. That's about it. Was minimally acceptable now and then, but useless most the time.

Believe it or not, he was still useful on the 4th line that year during the regular season. Of course, that was when he was actually healthy.

 

[Zatch88]

so far the only thing I can see that he is good at is taking TOI away from players that deserve it. But thats not really his fault, it's the coach's.

 

[Verviticus]

glass, during the regular season, fully healthy was a replacement level 4th liner. he was mostly invisible and that was a good thing

 

[Amused To Death]

Yes, he did. Though he never should have, being hurt.

Tambo really should've been playing instead of Glass, having a good one-shot finish and all.

Pomo boy to boot

Great pass by Tanev though,

I still cringe watching that even though we won the game.

 

[Smokey McCanucks]

He never contributed much other than filling a roster spot and not screwing up too badly.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Game 5, that is all.

 

[Hansen]

We really just needed somebody to fill in our annual Nanaimo Clippers Alumni quotient.

 

[opendoor]

Yes he did. He also played 73 games in the regular season which is why I find it kind of funny when people talk about the 10-11 Canucks as if they were the late '70s Canadiens.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

This is really a thread?

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

So happy he is gone.

He will be the Penguins albatross this year, somehow, someway. Terrible player.
