GDT: [GM43] Vancouver Canucks @ Winnipeg Jets | Tue, Jan. 14th | 5pm | SNP | M2Breezy Must Be Stopped

[Zippgunn]

Lowry being the Jets captain is like if Pius Suter was Canucks captain.

Note who his dad is...

 

[ephmrl]

This team just ain't it. The only star playing at an elite level is Hughes.

 

[EpochLink]

Miller has been Dogshit all year, sick of his attitude. If you need a new side piece, go get.

 

[Regal]

They need to give Lankinen the mercy hook after period one....Demko needs the work and this team is done tonight anyway. They're not coming back with Hellebucyk in the net.

Make that 19 wins in 43 games. This is a pace that would look bad even in the Travis Green era.

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

 

[VintageBure]

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.

 

[RobertKron]

Lekk is gonna be a player if he can fill out his frame.


(Based on nucks swedes history, that is a no)

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

 

[Nucker101]

Lekk is gonna be a player if he can fill out his frame.


(Based on nucks swedes history, that is a no)

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.

 

[4th line culture]

Miller and Boeser need to go. Boeser does nothing . I don't care if he scored 40 goals.

How can one do nothing and also score 40 goals?

 

[logan5]

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

 

[kanucks25]

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.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

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.

 

[eviohh26]

I really dont need to be this angry on a Tuesday night. I need a new hobby or something.

 

[Jay26]

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.

 

[VanillaCoke]

It's so nice having competent management, knowing they have to watch this disgusting garbage too.

Something big is happening before tdl guaranteed.

 

[me2]

According to Drance, and others, he’s still quite valuable.

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.

 

[rypper]

That back check...

 

[sting101]

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?

 

[credulous]

Then this core needs to be blown up

Willie
Green
Bruce
Tocchet


They don't get a 5th coach without major changes

brock boeser played 9 whole games for willie desjardins

 

[rypper]

You shouldn’t lose your spot due to injure, Demko has fought back from a career threatening injury and loses his rotation spot and why? Because the leafs didnt show up on Saturday. Thats bs. Guys is the locker room cant be happy about this. (Not Saying tonight is on Lankinen)

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

 

[eviohh26]

How can one do nothing and also score 40 goals?

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.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Lowry being the Jets captain is like if Pius Suter was Canucks captain.

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.

 

[Zippgunn]

Should’ve went with Demko

Why?

 

[DFAC]

team looks checked out

 

[VanillaCoke]

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.

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.

i think all the vancouver media guys talking about hoglander having more value with his contract extension in place is just them doing a favor for management and talking up the player. there's no way anyone is taking hoglander without a pick attached at this point
