Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Snucks 2

[Flair Hay]

Canucks fan take:

Rick Bowness is one of the best defensive coaches in the league. He has a top goalie. And they probably had their best game of the season against us. Plus they got some ref help. End of. Nothing to cry about here.

Jets always play this hard vs us. This is why I was so high on them in the playoffs in 2022/23

Thanks for the kind words. Definitely not our best game of the year. I think Canucks got off their's when things started to get physical.

Measuring stick game for both but not really a critical game. Great game to watch with a weed drink on a Saturday night with my son in bed though haha!

I have tickets for the March game in Vancouver so I'm extra excited for the rematch.

Canucks very much remind me of Nashville in their heyday. Not a super physical or strong team. But constantly aggressive so you always have to be on your toes. Lots of guys with high competitiveness. And obviously strong goaltending.

Really enjoyed tonight's game.

Nice goal, great fast passing, Vilardi had a very good game and nice to see Monahan score .

For the much maligned decision of doing csv, they really stepped up and had an extremely strong game despite the Vilardi backhand pass and connors disinterest in chasing Myers.

Also, I've had the night to sleep on it and I still say f*** THE CANUCKS AND f*** THEIR SHITTY FANS

While I'd say it was the best game since our 10 ish game swoon, it wasn't in the top 5 best games we've had this season.

We're still missing effective offensive play from at least half our forwards. Wedged we were really rolling all 4 lines were effective.

You can see why the Canucks are top in the nhl - all players look like they're bought in and very confident. However, you can see some of the play that has critics wondering if they can keep winning, especially heading into the playoffs. They have some defensive work to do.

Re the instigator penalty I really don't think who got his gloves off has much to do with it, what was the reason for the fight clearly DiGiuseppe went after Lowry for the hit on Aman and instigated a fight thus his punishment.

 

[Jet]

How many dirty late and reverse hits were there? Or am I being a homer.

JT Miller elbow is a suspension worthy cheap shot

Yup, not sure why they were out for blood all of the sudden but it really showed the maturity of the Jets.

Out goalied, out coached, out hit, out played, out scored……poor Nucks and SN HNIC

It all worked out though, they might have died from dehydration from all the Canucks knob gobbling going on if they'd won.

 

[Jet]

I was impressed by Myers. He hit and looked more like a D then he did here.

I mean, he looked pretty good here too but we tend to see players warts and focus on them when they're here. Think Forbort.

Re-watching that embellishment penalty on Scheifele...yeah, it was definitely embellishment. The little jump scheifele does gave it away.

I agree, however, if that's 2 the elbow is 4 or 5

 

[Jet]

This was a thing of beauty

I love the tap on the back by the Canucks player on DiGuiseppe. "Its ok buddy, you got tuned"

How refreshing that he got the instigator. Hitting is allowed and I hate these f***ing fights every time someone gets hit cleanly.

 

[Jet]

Vancouver is a fabulous city. Yoga pants every day of the year.

Why do people get mad when I wear them tho

That was Tocchet hockey by the Canucks. I remember seeing him play on the edge like that when games heated up. The Canucks are a reflection of their coach. Just as the Jets are a reflection of theirs. This game defined that very well. My only worry is how many physical games like that Scheif can take before an injury comes into play again. He's a big boy, but hits add up and he was clearly targeted in this one. I was hugely impressed with the "take a hit to set up a goal" on Villardi's second of the game. That's the Scheif that will scare other teams.

 

[Jet]

I am in the inner harbour of Victoria right now . It is very quiet. Nice but quiet.

I'm amazed you can post and tread water at the same time!

Lowry had his gloves off first. Honestly surprised DiGuiseppe got the instigator there.

Might have been what was said

I was impressed Chef didn’t get hurt last night. It puts other teams on notice, hit 55 and you’ll probably get punished on the scoreboard. Temperature wise, that felt like a playoff game.

 

[Jet]

I almost felt bad for Juulsen, hometown boy, scores the first goal, then makes a dumb step up hit on 55 leading to the go ahead goal in the third and then gets utterly exposed by Schiefele on the insurance marker.

But then I realize f*** him and f*** the Canucks

 

[RabidOne]

Did his best Mark Stuart imitation.

 

[Stumbledore]

Is it possible for the DoPS to level a fine/suspension on a play in which the blind-as-usual referees didn't call a penalty?

That head shot on Scheifele would be at least a 2 game suspension in most circumstances.

 

[gojetsgo]

It shouldn't have been an instigator penalty. DiG got in Lowry's face right away, but didn't drop his gloves until Lowry did. Bieksa showed it in the broadcast.

Lots of bad calls and non calls in that game I thought, for both teams.

46.11 Instigator - An instigator of an altercation shall be a player who by his actions or demeanor demonstrates any/some of the following criteria: distance traveled; gloves off first; first punch thrown; menacing attitude or posture; verbal instigation or threats; conduct in retaliation to a prior game (or season) incident; obvious retribution for a previous incident in the game or season.

Great game. Jets played well. Nice to see the powerplay get going.
You would think that with a game between two strong Canadian teams the NHL could have found 2 refs who know what the frick they were doing.

So what was Lowry supposed to do? Sit there and wait until the guy started smacking him around first? He was clearly in attack mode, and the obvious instigator, which Lowry recognized and therefore moved quickly to get the advantage in a fight that was obviously about to happen.

Great game yesterday Scheif!

Thanks for this. No where does it say that gloves off first is the only criteria. Dumb take.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Whew. Slept pretty decent last night and actually managed to sleep in. Thanks, Jets, for giving me the adrenaline to stay up until 1AM. >_>

Anyways, the Jets did get outplayed last night 5v5. That's an area of concern. Vancouver plays a very high tempo game that the Jets couldn't match for whatever reason. Man, Quinn Hughes is a hell of a player. Wish we had someone like him on the back end. Hughes, Makar, Fox... Goddamn.

Yep. Morrissey doesn’t take over a game to the same level.

 

[bustamente]

The 3rd period is the blue print on how the Jets need to play, take the hit to make the play, don't over react, capitalize on your opportunities and have your goalie make the saves.

 

[kanadalainen]

I really wanted to see JT beat the wheels off of Scheifele but his gloves are welded on.

Three more games. Right now the Jets hold serve.

Good thoughts, thanks. A suggestion - the Canucks need to work on their power play.

Quoted for truth.
