Are peole actually upset about that play? That was a chickenshit play by Svechnikov; Guddy could have been seriously hurt there., he did what he needed to do,. Game was well decided by then anyway, where's the beef?
GDT: GAME #51: Canucks 2 vs. Hurricanes 5: Hurricane Neddy too much to contain

How in God's name is Linden a better player than either Sedin?

Another point to ponder is that the team is healthy, and on a relaxed schedule.?...I have no answers to the lack of jump...The All Star break couldn't come soon enough.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Gudbranson, but that attempted retaliation was fine.

Yeah, I don't have a real problem with Gudbranson there, given the situation.
I have a problem with Jimmy B giving him a 3-year, $12M contract after watching his poor play for two seasons. But that's a separate issue...

He scored as many goals in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals playing with cracked ribs and torn rib cartilage than both Sedins did over their entire 7 game Stanley Cup Finals series.

Normally I wouldn't mind the retaliation. I'm the guy that made the culture thread...
But it's rich that this guy stands up for himself when he gets embarrassed by an 18 year old but doesn't have the balls to step up when his teammates, especially the younger guys, get abused out there.
Some 'culture carrier'.

On a seperate note concerning Gudbranson, he was absolute dogshit in the second period and remains an AHL caliber defender.
It’s also kinda funny how he only goes after guys when he’s the one that got hit lol

I have no problem wiggins Gudbranson going after Svech at all. Faulk steps in once again just like with Rousell as Svechnikov and Nino both turtle...
Anyway. We’re pretty much in the same position as the past 3 seasons at the 50 game mark so I’m expecting another lottery pick. We’ve been playing like trash and still getting wins it’s not sustainable.

He wasn’t embarrassed by an 18 year old. I’m not defending Gudbranson but it was a dirty hit I had no probably with the retaliation

Only this time, the Western Conference isn't what it once was.
A rare year where some teams are just meh while the rest pull ahead.
Honestly, if that's your only criteria for determining the greatness of a player, I'm assuming you also have Thomas Gradin, Stan Smyl, and the illustrious Ivan Boldirev ahead of them as well?
Since none of the Sedins' other statistics, awards, and eventual inductions into the Hall of Fame seem to matter to you.

On the other hand, that's not a bad reason to after someone
I think most people would be ok with it if he reacted the same way when his teammates got hit..

Rumor is there's some interest in both Gudbranson and Sutter out there....Jimbo needs to deal both....it would be addition by subtraction at this point.
After viewing the performance of both guys for the past weeks and months, it's obvious that the Canucks would actually be a better team with Biega and Gaudette in the lineup.
Time for Benning to finally admit the 'foundational players' he thought was getting aren't even able to hold up their own end of the bargain at this point in their careers. Time to cut bait on both.

Our players were so predictable the Canes knew exactly what they were going to do; it was embarrassing. Huge drop off in skill after a few good players, working hard is great but skill is needed throughout the lineup, can’t be a successful team with a bunch of simpletons. Goldobin would’ve been a welcomed addition in this scrambly game with his sneaky short passes. Pouliot & Gudbranson are horrible, something has to be done about this, it’s not an NHL caliber pairing.

Pretty much this. People are just frustrated as hell with him and his awful play, especially recently. It's really tenuous logic to link him getting pissed after a cheap hit in a blow out game to not taking down players in close games for cheap hits on others. How we see the game as fans is not how it is seen by players on the ice. I hope they can trade him either at the deadline or offseason, he just doesn't work in Green's system, perhaps he'll have more utility in another that doesn't rely on moving the puck so quickly.

I have your gold medal Zippy!
Linden got us Todd Bertuzzi, Jarkko Ruutu (indirectly anyhow as he was the guy we selected with the draft pick from the trade), and Bryan McCabe. And Burke was able to turn around and flip one of those assets to get another pick (to draft a Sedin).
So in a sense, Linden > Sedins (or at least one of them).
It's all in the way you want to look at things.
