He's not a pansy, so goon will love him, and we will win the Stanley Cup?
I mean, it's a camp tryout. Nothing special. If he's here? He's depth and he can beat people up. If not? I still follow him on Twitter.

Let's give Tyson Nash another go... could be the feel good story of the season.

Re: Paul Bissonnette invited to tryout for the Blues
I honestly don't even know much about this guy other than he's mostly famous for his tweets. He also had one of the most epic Ice Bucket Challenge videos. None of these things really relate to playing hockey though, and that is where my knowledge of him drops off. Would he be sort of in the Reed Low category?
I'm not totally against this if he is actually good at beating people down. Beyond Reaves, we don't have much else anymore. Ott and Lappy can scrap if they need to but they aren't that feared type of fighter. We really do need these types of guys when we're up against the scrappier teams. A little bit of fear into the opponent, just by the presence of a tough guy, can make a big difference. That's why you can't just have a lineup full of finesse players. You'd get annihilated.

Re: Paul Bissonnette invited to tryout for the Blues
Hell, Reaves all but disappearred in the later half of the season. I think he only got into 1 or 2 fights after he got his new contract. I'm especially pissed at him for not rearranging Seabrook's face in the playoffs as well. I was going to buy his jersey, but now I'm not so sure.ViPeRx007 wrote:I honestly don't even know much about this guy other than he's mostly famous for his tweets.

Re: Paul Bissonnette invited to tryout for the Blues
From what I know of him, he's a guy that ain't afraid to fight anyone, has size and physicality to and really nothing else going for him other than that, so....a goon.
I don't know if I'd want him eating up a roster spot unless we're going against a team that we may need someone's head knocked in. Seabrook. Thornton. Some others come to mind. Can Gunner fight?
