So much for the Canucks trying to get bigger, stronger, tougher and harder to play against. They sign this little ***, who skates around the permiter only to either take a shot that hits the goalie square in the chest, or he trips over his shadow and gives the puck away. And the next time this selfish little kunt passes to one of his linemates will be the first time.

I understand not wanting to give up/away assets for free, but the guy actually has to be an asset in the first place and this guy manages to bring down every line that he plays on.

Well done Gillis, you bull****ting lard ass.

And if it sounds like I'm a tad bitter, well I am.
