[PGT] Diving Jets at Canucks

CONDENSED GAME | Winnipeg at Vancouver

i blame the shitty, 3rd string announce team

[Hockey God]

This was foreseeable, wasn't 4-0 as I predicted, but not surprised by the result.  Us fans can sugarcoat what they are getting, but the eye test as a more than 40 almost 50 year fan of hockey and this particular team tells me that this is an incomplete team against the best and the worst teams.  They play down to competition at times, and don't rise to the occasion against some top teams, as we have now seen against Boston and now Winnipeg.  They need a couple of leaders with heart, who play total hockey at all times, and who never take period or nights off.       

 

And before people say refs this and Juulson that and EP40 missing in action at times, good teams find ways to overcome this and still win.  Hell, make Tocchet a player coach, put him on the ice, and let him show the guys how they need to play.  They need that type of role model.  Hughes banging the boards in frustration or Miller yelling on the ice does not cut it, they need someone who grinds on every shift, who plays like his life is on the line, and will do anything to win.  The closest the Canucks have to that guy is behind the bench.  And I think that management knows this team doesn't have that killer instinct, which is why Phil the Thrill is getting a look.

Refs kept the jets in it, then bad Juulsen showed up and made 2 dumb plays and. That was game

Pettersson can show up any time now. 

[JeremyCuddles]

Olympic divers took the Gold. Score looks worse than the game was. Couple defensive lapses by Juulsen. But other than that the team played solid. Hellebuyck has been a menace this season.

Winnipeg Dive Bombers.

Gosh  !!

[HKSR]

Now we see how strong defensively the Jets are.  If they were a playoff opponent we need our big defencemen to slam their forwards over and over and over to wear them out.

[Bardown]

Another hard heavy game 

another disappearing act by Petey 

 

You want 12 mil? Sorry you have to show up in the hard games

And Miller, and Boeser. Hughes can only do so much from up top. 

[Rounoush]

With the points we have, I'll take morale victories. Our special teams need to be better, though.

Not having a good powerplay is killing this team. It needs some drastic change to get it going

Lol, why so negative? We took too many penalties, couldn't kill the penalties that didn't matter, and couldn't score on our power play.

 

I'd say we were better 5 on 5, but we're still sorting out our special teams and could have easily won this game. 

[Shift-4]

Special teams be shit

[Jaimito]

Nux always have a hard time vs Jets. 

 

At least won't meet them until the conference final.  

 

Special teams needs work. 

 

Juuls really crapped the bed.  Live and learn. We don't have anyone better at the moment.  Soucy a few weeks away.  

 

Dakota could have made a difference.  He's weeks away too. 

 

Get focused and get back at it.  Another tight road trip ahead.  3 games in 4 nights.

Still trying to find him, he ain’t worth 10 mil, rather trade him and let someone else overpay, look at what the jets got for Dubois, some fine pieces there 

[BPA]

Need to fix the PP.

 

Maybe go with…

 

Lindholm Miller EP

Hronek Hughes

 

Get Hronek blasting shots from the point.

I am starting to wonder about him in terms of big games. Seems to shrivel and fade away. Boeser just seems happy he got to 30. I am pretty disappointed in him.
