Well one of the things with this years playoff run was that the Canucks were getting pushed around a lot, especially by Boston. We didn't have a fighter.We have Lappierre a taunter, had Torres a hitter,and Glass who really didn't do anything. Bieksa fought, but you don't want one of you best defense men always getting into fights. So where's our fighter well according to The Hockey News the Canucks have invited Ryan Harrison to camp, never heard of him yeah me neither before he got invited but what got me interested was that he does have a lot of resemblances to Rick Rypien just look at his stats
Regular Season
Season Team Lge GP G A Pts PIM +/-
2008-09 Prince Albert Raiders WHL 62 14 21 35 112 -18
2009-10 Prince Albert Raiders WHL 72 14 40 54 136 -5
2010-11 Medicine Hat Tigers WHL 40 13 20 33 47 10
2010-11 Everett Silvertips WHL 29 8 11 19 55 -2
and then you look at Rypien's stats as a junior
Regular Season
Season Team Lge GP G A Pts PIM +/-
2001-02 Regina Pats WHL 1 0 0 0 0 0 2002-03 Regina Pats WHL 50 6 12 18 159 -5 2003-04 Regina Pats WHL 65 19 26 45 186 -23 2004-05 Regina Pats WHL 63 22 29 51 148 -34
I'm not saying this guy is going to become exactly like Rypien like the way that Rypien could fight guys double his size like Hal Gill but I am saying if he does good in camp the Canucks should at least give him a chance.
