Post-Game Talk: Injury Depleted Jets 5 Kanuckleheads 1

[bustamente]

4/5 Hammers tonight would of been 5/5 but the Canucks suck, good on Capobianco for filling in and playing well, Gagne for shutting up that trash talking idiot writing this, PLD with 3 apples, KFC for getting it going and Helle almost getting a bagel, generally the team top to bottom played well, full marks for the win

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I think any competent NHL team wins that game tonight, and probably several AHL teams give the Canucks a run for their money, especially that performance in goal, which was masked by an even worse performance up front.

Who is back 1st wheeler or Ehlers?

 

[JetsFan815]

Today I was reminded how glad I am to not have Myers on this team. Laine and Myers are tied for the two players who made me scream at the screen the most during their tenure here. Nothing more frustrating than watching a guy that big be so soft on the puck and sp susceptible to the forecheck.

 

[TheHead]

Fun game. Vancouver’s bad. Jets truly buying in on “Next man up!”

 

[CorgisPer60]

The best thing that happened to this team was Daddy Paul Maurice walking to the corner store to get a pack of cigarettes and never returned.

 

[gojetsgo]

Who is back 1st wheeler or Ehlers?

pretty sure ehlers could be around 2 weeks and wheeler is suppose to be a month

It's a good night when you get a Jersey toss from the opposing team.

On a night their goalie and gM will be in national TV no less
But softball CBC will probably steer the discussion towards everything being positive

Jets jumped on the Canucks early and never looked back.

Capobiancho looked good as did Kuhlman.

Now run to the airport and get to Seattle.

What an awesomely ridicolous show that was. As a teenage male in the 90s, that show along with Jets 1.0, Beverly Hills 90210 and Law and Order gave me plenty of television entertainment to keep me busy between chasing girls at U4IA, studying for uni classes, and playing junior hockey

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

What’s the phone in number?

 

[razorsedge]

Yeah, disgruntled fans need to get way more creative.

Throw it into the team's bench.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Oh what could have been the last 4 years.
This team is playing exactly how everyone here said they needed to play and knew they could play. And it’s a joy to see!

 

[LowLefty]

Nice skate for the Jets - should be limbered up for the Krackers

Nucks - Woof

 

[Adam da bomb]

Bump Bowness score up to A++

 

[Bayleigh The Intern]

I liked how Capobianco played tonight!

 

[LowLefty]

I liked how Capobianco played tonight!

Calm , Kool and collective - I thought he was very smooth out there.

 

[Finnflash]

Booo Canucks indeed

 

[Adam da bomb]

Calm , Kool and collective - I thought was very smooth out there.

I’d give him the game against Ottawa and go from there.

 

[LowLefty]

Gagner played well tonight - hope that continues assuming the "it's my turn to play top 6" shuffle slows a bit while we wait for the wounded to return.

 

[Mud Turtle]

I liked how Capobianco played tonight!

I just looked as his career stats. I didn’t realize that he had that much offensive prowess.
Let’s see more of him!

 

[Buffdog]

Tied for 6th in goal differential league-wide with +24. To me, this is probably the best stat in terms of sussing out how good teams actually are.

We don't suck, and I'm starting to think we're pretty decent

 

[Atoyot]

With Vegas losing the Jets are once again 1st in the West in win percentage.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I liked how Capobianco played tonight!

Earned another game. Kuhlman looked pretty good too.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I actually thought Gagner was pretty bad.

Felt like Gus's line got a fair bit of ice time. Maybe more than the third line.

Overall a snoozer. And I can't even blame Sportsnet.

 

[voyageur]

That was a near perfect road game. When you can roll 4 lines on the road in a back to back scenario bodes well for tomorrow night's game.

Random thoughts:

Capobianco looked good out there. For a guy who has sat out for a long stretch. Congrats on your first goal as a Jet!

Liked what I saw from the newest addition, I think Kuhlman's skating will put him in a position to compete for those bottom six minutes. Played a safe enough game to complement his two skilled linemates tonight.

Liked the Swedish meatball line, they applied a lot of pressure on a very mediocre Canucks defense.

Gagner on the 2nd line adds a little more danger in the offensive zone, from my observation that line also gave up the best chances, but bailed themselves out.

Canucks just look awful as a team, that's not an easy fix.

Whoever did the scorekeeping tonight probably indulged in too much cilantro, because I don't think some of the stats were reflective of parts of the game. I can definitely tell you that Gustafsson lost an offensive zone faceoff too, from watching, so he wasn't 100% in the dot.

Announcers/Rogers staff were annoying with their jinx stuff. But if you're a Canucks fan I guess that was the highlight. Maybe Luke Schenn's hits.

Cheers to all the Jets fans (especially the HF ones in our group) who showed up for the game, that was pretty cool to hear an audible Go Jets Go chant throughout it.
