It's so nice to see Garland getting some recognition from fans.
If EP40 finds his form again and carries whom ever you throw at his wings to top6 production, we will have serious scoring depth.I think it's pretty clear that, earlier in the year, Garland was the driver for that 3rd line. Joshua is so complementary to Garland's game. We usually think of forward pairs being a centre with a winger. It seems that you can stick any centre with those two and they dominate. Obviously Miller at C is a huge upgrade.
Come on man. Lehtinen might be in the best ever convo.I can't agree there. Maybe offensively but Burrows was the best defensive winger in the NHL. This fanbase still underrates how freaking good he was. He was as good as Jere Lehtinen but Selke voting had shifted away from giving votes to wingers and the voters didn't like Burrows because of how he played.
This team's Martin Gelinas I could get behind.
Come on man. Lehtinen might be in the best ever convo.
Garland plays playoff hockey 82 games a year. He is consistently one of our best 5on5 players. I’m glad he’s on the roster as he keeps other players honest. I think he had 2 fights with other Canucks players this season?
Where are you getting this? How a player is like in real life is rarely reported so I am not sure where you are getting this. I imagine that the scuffles at practice is a direct result of Garland practicing like how he plays and some players don’t like that especially in practice.garland seems like the kind of guy who would be a real pain to be around in real life, always blowing up over minor perceived slights, starting unnecessary arguments, never letting things go, taking grudges way too far, and so on.
but as a hockey player he’s really grown on me for the exact same reasons.
when he took on desharnais in the first, i think he won me over for good, two solid wasted years of needless twirling into the corner and all.
If Garland had even an average shot he'd score 35+ like clockwork.Yep. Garland is a great player. Undervalued because of size and average shot.
I hesitate to call Garland's shot below average because his shot is fairly accurate. It's just the velocity that is lacking.If Garland had even an average shot he'd score 35+ like clockwork.
Two things of note:
1) He loves playing with Joshua and Blueger
2) He's a huge jaws nerd. Massive. Like it's weird how much he loves jaws and sharks.
"I think we had to work our way out of a loser mentality"
"We didn't go into the rink a lot of times, my first two years, believing we are going to win"
"We knew we were winning (this year)"
"Not cockiness but confidence in being able to throw your best at a team and come out on top"
It seems like he's destined to play for the Sharks one day with how much he loves sharks.
Looks like he's besties with John Marino. Did they play together?
