Under appreciated Canucks of All Time

Raffi Torres

By no means is he a clean player... but holy smokes did he make that 3rd line during the 2011 run. I’ve been rewatching the VAN/SJ WCF series this week & that guy was a force.
He was sorely missed the next season & honestly we never replaced his physicality.

i forget now but why was raffi not in the lineup for games one and two against chicago? injured? there’s no way av benched him for oreo right?

I think he was suspended.

I think he was suspended.

He elbowed Brent Seabrook which he suffered a concussion in game 3.

He elbowed Brent Seabrook which he suffered a concussion in game 3.

It was ruled not an elbow by the discipline people.

@IAMGROOT is right, torres was suspended for headshotting eberle in the third last game of the rs, the second of those two edmonton losses that cost us our best pk in the league stat. then in his first game back he blows up seabrook. no penalty, no suspension.

gotta love raffi, not gunshy at all.

Doug Halward was that player in my opinion. He was very talented and I never hear his name ever.

Does Tony Tanti get enough appreciation from the Canuck fanbase? Franchise’s best goal scorer before the Russian Rocket lifted off - just had the misfortune of playing on some really awful teams.

For an idea of how forgotten he is, try finding any of his 250 goals as a Canuck on the Internet.

Sundstrom has to go with Tanti as a package deal. Plus Sundstrom was the main piece in the trade that got us Captain Kirk.
