Vancouver center Maxim Lapierre has historically gotten a lot of penalty minutes but, if he's to be believed, he says his misconducts will decrease significantly in the coming season.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking," Lapierre said. "It's going to be a physical game when we get back playing and I don't think I'm going to talk as much on the ice. I even think I'm not even going to talk at all. I'm going to play my role and play physical. Do what I have to do and get back to the bench."

Maxim Lapierre scored his seventh of the season and added two assists in the Cancuks 5-2 win over the Dallas Stars.

Lapierre doesn't produce much offensively, but he will contribute some penalty minutes to your cause if you need some.

Expect Lapierre to line up on the fourth line during the Canucks' next game. The agitator has six goals and 11 points in 57 games with 116 PIM.
