David Bruce Banner
Nude Cabdriver Ban
I have to dig back a while to come up with a worse regular or semi-regular. Back in the day we did employ some ankle skating face punchers on D... but at least they were usually good at face punching, which had value at the time.Worst defensemen I ever watched play for Vancouver. And that includes Gudbranson and Sbisa.
My vote goes to the late Randy Boyd. At least Bartkowski could skate fast with the puck until he hit the opposing blue line. My recollections of Boyd were that something bad happened pretty much every time he was on the ice. He'd fall down at inopportune times. The puck would jump over his stick and allow the other team a breakaway. Without even being under pressure, he'd pass the puck to Luc Robitaille in the slot. He wasn't strong or fast or cagey or mean, he was just the epitome of the 1980's Canucks.
Maybe that makes Bartkowski the epitome of the Benning era Canucks.
