Sadly, coming into tonight they still had their second best points percentage in the past 10 years

Completely outclassed by a team that has dynamic offence vs a team that relies on Quinn Hughes point shots to tip or create rebounds. Almost feels like Quinn is so great driving play that we overly rely on him.

Needs to get stronger or get quicker. He struggles significantly at getting himself on the right side of the other team's guy.

That's why I mention Connor though, he's effective without really needing strength, he just hangs around down the middle of the ice and gets open.

How does Forrest not see Connor skating up the ice, then right past him? Stupidest man on the planet.

It looked like it was going to be a good back and forth game after the first 5 minutes where the Canucks seemed to be keeping up.
But then it became clear that the Jets are bigger, faster and sharper all over the ice and they took over.
Pretty jarring difference here between a team that can and can't execute plays off the rush.
Pathetic effort by both Pettersson and Debrusk on the 2nd goal and pathetic effort by Miller on the 3rd. After that and the horrible turnover earlier in the period I wouldn't have been surprised if Miller was benched for the rest of the period at least.

When Mike Gillis came on board, Alain Vigneault was a defense first coach. Gillis met with him for like, a solid week, in Vegas and the end result was a total shift in Vigneault’s philosophy to move to an offensive puck possession style.
Allvin needs to sit down with Tocchet and do something similar. This “never shoot the puck” strategy doesn’t seem to be going well without an unsustainably high PDO to make it work.

I really dont need to be this angry on a Tuesday night. I need a new hobby or something.
Am I the only one who's NOT waiting for trades? For the D or otherwise? I've seen people criticize management for not doing anything but at this point who cares? This team has far bigger problems than the D and it's not like it's worth salvaging anyway, at least not until both our top 2 centres get their shit together. I'm more than happy for the team to just play out this rotten season and have a good draft this summer.

Go ahead foot
Lol. Dance is blowing smoke as that contract is a millstone. Would anyone be happy if we picked up another teams player with a 3x3 contact and his current form? If he can start scoring goals again someone might take a chance, might.

1st goal is ALL Lankinen...a gimme
2nd goal was some awful coverage and bad goaltending. Soucy backs in. Juulsen has no one and was already lost in the neutral zone allowing easy ice and then Lankinen kicks it into the slot and then freezes...like WTF 3 Stooges
3rd goal is ALL on Miller. Easy coverage decision and you didnt want to even try?

I don't think it's that deep. Lankinen got a shutout they give him the next one.

He doesn't drive the play
He doesn't make plays
He doesn't beat players to pucks
He doesn't win board battles
He isn't good 2 way player
He scores goals when the team around him does all the work and sets him up.
He most def wont see 40 again.
Disagree. Lowry is a really good and valuable player with an immense locker room presence and acted as the bridge between Wheeler and Scheifele and the younger players in the locker room.

Connor is on another level skill wise, he doesnt use strength to succeed but while not big, is strong enough hockey wise and still grown man athletic.
