What does Sbisa have to do to be taken out of the lineup? Throw the puck into his own net?Get into a fight with a teammate? Murder somebody?

He has to not be acquired in the Kesler trade and be carrying a $2+M cap hit.

Another god damn stupid ass Sunday afternoon game. Boo.

Get to watch the game before the SuperBowl. Yay.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Ooo...Clendening's first Canucks game and he's got Sbisa on the other side of him. Talk about throwing him to the wolves.

Easy. Bring back AV and Aaron Rome...

And more importantly, get to watch the game before the puppy bowl.

Did he play in Medicine Hat with Linden Vey under Willie D? Sure feels like he did...

 

[PG Canuck]

Clendening isn't the strongest defensive, this is widely known. Sbisa is terrible at everything. Let's make them a pairing! WD is so questionable sometimes...like what goes through your head to make that a pairing?

I understand Edler/Tanev and Hamhuis/Corrado are all playing really solid together, but this third pairing is going to fail and fail hard...because of Sbisa. You're already asking Clendening to carry a pairing in the NHL. Wonderful.

Probably waking up in a cold sweat thinking of Clendening being paired with Weber.
At least he's finally benched Stanton.

 

[Pip]

what the **** is this ****? ridiculous

oh and he gets time on our garbage second unit lol.

 

[7thGuest]

May be the idea is to get Clendening to play the puck and Sbisa to focus on physical plays? I guess if Sbisa doesn't get to touch the puck that's already a bonus. Let's assume WD knows what he is doing...

 

[Pip]

Weber has a great game and is getting taken out of the lineup?

Come on Willie

 

[VanCanucks53]

Yeah I like Willie but this is a head scratcher. Weber should be in.

 

[PG Canuck]

Weber is better than Sbisa.

Predetermined roster move. Nothing wrong in getting a look. Keeps people hungry.

 

[PG Canuck]

I'm not overly surprised, to be honest.

Yep, Weber's definitely the dead weight on that pairing. When not playing together:

Sbisa: GF%: 34.3; CF%: 47.3

Weber: GF%: 58.3%; CF%: 51.4


Got to feel for Clendening who gets tied to a boat anchor for his first game as a Canuck.

 

[Pip]

I prefer to play whoever is playing well and sit players that have struggled for a very long time. Their play on the ice should affect the roster decisions.

I'm not overly surprised, to be honest.

I'm not really surprised as much as I am disappointed.

 

[VC]

3 LD and 3 RD setup with a one of each as a healthy scratch. Both Sbisa and Stanton have been wildly inconsistent this season. Guessing Sbisa is in the lineup for PK usage. With Bieksa out, I wouldn't be surprised if it continues.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Weber is better than Sbisa.

Not even close which is why Weber plays the lowest minutes. Sbisas better. B

Sbisa plays 2 minutes more than Weber ES. Big whoop. Special teams icetime also plays a factor in that.

OR, a great lead in to the Super Bowl.
