Confirmed with Link: Canucks claim F Tom Sestito from Philadelphia
- Thread starter Jumex
- Start date
I admit that I've become a fan of the 4th line now for the first time in years. Never expect much.. and I realize we're just talking about the 4th line.
But with Weise and Sestito screaming down the wings on fore-checks it will make opposing d-men hate playing us.
Add a yappy Lappy... and it could make for some interesting times.

Yeah I'm totally thrilled we picked him up. I think he's going to become a fan favorite pretty quick. I have always been and will always be a sucker for big brutes who can fight. I still believe it's an important part of the game. The Canucks have some issues to work out but this, imo, was one of them. They were able to solve it using the waiver wire and managed to do quite well. I'm pretty stocked about this.

That means 6 feet 5 inches. If it were 6.005 then that would be 6 feet plus half an inch. (Although likely would be rounded up to 6.01).
I'm not worried about ability to fight as much as willingness to go.
What is more important to me is energy and ability to hit. Weise has that... and word is Sestito does. Volpatti had the gumption but between the whistles he looked lost and his hits were usually more board than body.
That's just how hockeydb lists their heights.
They have Jordan Schroeder listed as 5.09. He is not 5 feet tall, he is 5'9".

Kassian is a big boy, you know? He's not some creampuff. I would say Kassian could destroy 85% on the men in the NHL. Nobody wins every fight unless they are coked out of their mind. Sestito can hold his own with any heavyweight in the game. Enough said.
He fought three times in one game, regardless of winning or losing, thats a huge camaraderie to your teammates.
He also had 18 fights in 46 games while putting up 32 points in the AHL. He possesses that fighting spirit, plain and simple, he enjoys to fight and not many people have that attribute.

In the off season we should have him train with Floyd Mayweather. Size can't be taught, but boxing can.

Are you implying that some think that Sestito is 6 feet and 50 inches?
6"5' is the same as 6"05' just need basic reasoning skills to figure that out
I think the confusion arose from it saying "6.05". I believe the poster is European, so the decimal probably threw him.

If he scores a goal or wins a fight in his first game I'm officially declaring him Sextito.
