Confirmed with Link: Canucks claim F Tom Sestito from Philadelphia

[Pip]

I think the confusion arose from it saying "6.05". I believe the poster is European, so the decimal probably threw him.

ahhh makes sense, my apologies to the poster

Metric>Imperial

I have a couple friends that live in Philly. This is what one of them said about Sestito:

"He's good at taking the body and doesn't usually take bad penalties. Decent fighter. He spent most of his time in the AHL and we'd use him when people got hurt."

Most of the posts from PHI fans are generally disappointed to see him go, especially off of waivers. He was valued by their fan base for the most part.

The Flyers top forwards play with edge, and can take care of themselves; their need for an enforcer was not so great as in Vancouver.

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

Are you all off today? Get it right.

' = feet
" = inches

Sestito is 6'5".

 

[Johnny Tightlips]

A line of sestito-Pinizzotto-volpatti line would sound so cool. An all Italian line.

 

[Pip]

Volpatti isn't here no more

I am completely off, you are corect, got like no sleep last night. Plenty of errors right now

No worries, man. We've all had a bad stretch lately.

case and point- showed up two hours early for my lecture today by accident.

just one of those days, running on fumes right now

Philly fan here


He only played a few games for us, a fourth line fighter type guy. He scored 2 goals in a 2-1 win over Tampa, but that was really all he did offensively. He wont take dumb penalties, so thats a plus, but other than that, hes mainly a 13th forward

 

[CCF23]

I'm glad we have another game against Chicago still. Sestito has to be in the lineup for that one.

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

So a bigger and slower Volpatti.. I'd say that's a decent recovery from the loss.

Take this guy and put him in front of the net.

Hopefully Kassian can take this role on the PP since Kesler is out. Our PP is nothing without Kesler for this reason. I don't think Burrows has the size to do it.

looks like our new Byron Bitz

Pierre Mcguire was on the TEAM1040 at lunch and said this guy is "6'5 of pure mean".....this is a good thing

Man I never get to see Pierre any more, I miss him.

 

[jigsaw99]

the best news about this signing is that Ebbett is send down.

 

[Luongos Knob]

He's number 29...

He's also from Rome, NY...

The return!!!!!

 

[MikeK]

Whatever, I appreciate his malice.

Agreed. It's a part of the game that still goes on. We need it. Plus he brings a physicality that we don't have enough of. Kassian is sort of our designated "big guy" right now and I think that could hurt his development. Kassian needs to work on his overall game and not have too worry about being the teams big guy. Now some pressure can be off Kassian and Sestito can now become the teams brute.

he also injured horton with a "late" hit



AV's gushing already.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

29... Felix potvin will be crying

Potvin? What about everyone's favourite? Aaron Rome.

Gillis likes to put players through MMA style fight training. I wonder if sestito will stick around long enough on the Canucks to receive that training. He could end up to be a pretty decent fighter/enforcer

 

[David71]

is he a good fighter? another big body to bang and crash
