Player Discussion Erik Gudbranson

[geebaan]

Notice how much better our D is without Poo or Guds?

 

[vanuck]

But I thought bigger players are less prone to injury? Since Guddy is a tough customer who's supposed to protect the kids and deter other teams from taking cheap shots/dirty hits surely he could've protected himself against this too?

Still top 10 dumbest thing I’ve heard a GM say

The 2 mentors are out with injury..big balls and glass balls.

Good lord why don’t they just put me on the ice...oh right I’m not 6’4 and good looking

It's hard to be so handsome as Guddy.

Canucks' Erik Gudbranson: Injury lingers
Questionable for the game on the weekend, lol. So this will be one of his yearly 5-12 game injury spans, only to be followed up by him being shut down for the 5th season in a row? And yes, he missed the last game(s) of the season due to injury in 2018, 2017,2016,2015, and 2013. Only one year in his entire career has he been able to finish the season playing hockey.

When you’re so handsome everyone wants to knock you down a peg or two so injuries are inevitable.

And, sadly, it’s a good thing for the Canucks.

Yes. Yes I do.

So how do you deal with that problem (I'm ugly so I never have to worry about that)?

Addition by subtraction.

Want to get a TON of dislikes on CDC? Say something negative about Guds.

Benning's quotes would take up much of that top 10 too...

He is just resting for the playoffs.

They actually like Gudbranson at the crap hole website?

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Yes. Just watched todays game thought D is playing good then realised hadnt heard either of their names.

 

[Zippgunn]

I know, the second he goes down we start winning games. Oh wait...

I'll bet Guddy doesn't receive half the credit for his rugged good looks at the place that he does here.

Gudbranson would have been a great defenceman 15 years ago. Unfortunately for him you can’t pin players against the boards, hook players to slow them down, slash or cross check players in the slot, etc. With how fast the game is today, you need to be able to pivot quickly, if your half a step behind that’s it your done. Quickness, Awareness, positioning, agility, and a good quick active stick is required to be an effective Dman in today’s game, Gudbranson doesn’t have any of these attributes.

Yep. There's no room in the NHL for big, slow defensemen who can't skate or move the puck. If you're in that category, you're a 5-6 at best. Gudbranson is basically terrible at everything so it might be a reach to even consider him to be that.

Looking back at that trade we made to Florida for Gubranson...It would be interesting to hear what other NHL GM's opinions of that trade are...

I'd rather have Sbisa back instead. Thats how good he is.

Has nothing to do with my comment.

I’m sure there would be plenty of GMs who played in the Jeff Beukeboom era who haven’t adjusted and still think a player like this is effective.

Doesn’t mean they’re right, and as we see proven over and over again, a huge percentage of these guys have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

He still stinks.

I wonder what the opinions of other NHL GMs were at the time he was drafted on Gilli's bust pick Jensen.
