I really liked this post that was on twitter today. As most
know, I am not a Canucks fan and I think with the addition of former Dallas
forward Steve Ott to their roster only gives me more reasons to not like the Vancouver
Canucks. As I have said in the past, I think that the Vancouver Canucks are one of the most "unlikeable teams" in the NHL, they are a team stuffed full of characters I have no problem despising. This is also the team that employed Todd Bertuzzi at one time. Now you have a trio of losers, Alex Burrows, Steve Ott and Max LaPierre.
I am not sure who is worse from that group of miss fits, but Ott is also that guy that is the
prototypical P.O.S. if you catch my drift.
Breaking down the Zidlicky trade
You can mark me down as being happy with the deal. Love it.
The Minnesota Wild traded the disgruntled and overrated Marek
Zidlicky, I also think the Wild got rid of a locker room distraction, that they
don’t need going down the stretch. In
return for Zidlicky the Minnesota Wild get former Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster
and also forwards Nick Palmieri and Stephane Veilleux. The kicker is the Wild
will also get a second-round pick in 2012 draft.
I think it’s a smart move for the Wild because they get a
decent defenseman and a third or fourth line forward that will do what-ever it
takes to help the team win. I don’t know much about Nick Palmieri other than he
is an American from New York and has played in 48 NHL games and has scored (9g-9a—18pts),
it would seem that he will add some needed depth to the third or fourth line as
well.
During his NHL career, Zidlicky has scored 60 goals and added
238 assists. Zidlicky has also racked up 496 penalty minutes, in 548 games.
