The Canucks organization is such a joke and is lost looking for what kind of team they should be. They can't bang with the big boys and they can't gun with them either but as long as they continue to not realize this their downward spiral will continue...awesome

Torts is being lauded for protecting his players by playing his goons. Really? He was putting their heads in the way of his pride. He couldn't back down and had to one up Hartley. I've asked a million times with no response. What was the risk of starting his first line? A face wash for a Sedin? I don't get it.
When in history has a goon hurt a start player after a face off?
