Post-Game Talk: Jets def. Canucks - 4-2 (Kuzmenko, Garland)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

You think the Canucks are going to win 5 in a row?

I don't have them winning 5 in a row there? I had them winning 4 of their first 5, before running into a tough stretch.

They’ve won 3 in a row now and you have them winning against Calgary and Winnipeg.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Ohh, gotcha.

Yeah - why the hell not. It feels very Canucks to start the stretch hot to get everyone's hopes up, only to crash back to earth and finish with a thud.

 

[Svencouver]

Could we actually see Dermott make his debut tomorrow?

The defense is starting to not make me bleed from my eye sockets. Bear was such a good acquisition. I thought he looked like he was really getting some chemistry going with Hughes last night. If those two could be steady partners thats a massive win for our right side.

Agree Bear and Hughes have looked really nice together.

OEL and Myers, on the other hand...

 

[VanillaCoke]

I see 4-6-2 mediocre ville

Every night before I go to sleep I calm myself with a repeating mantra of "theres only 1 more year on Myers contract"

 

[Vector]

This is the schedule for January.

Canucks	Islanders
Canucks	Avalanche
Jets	Canucks
Penguins	Canucks
Lightning	Canucks
Panthers	Canucks
Hurricanes	Canucks
Canucks	Lightning
Canucks	Avalanche
Canucks	Oilers
Canucks	Blackhawks
Kraken	Canucks
Canucks	Blue Jackets

There are two easy games then every other team is above .500. Vanilla Coke’s 4-6-2 seems about right but a much worse record is very likely.

With that Horvat line the team finally has a line outside of the Pettersson line that’s going 5v5.

Let’s hope they can keep it up.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

So this coming game we are getting their A1, top drawer, game 82 Stanley Cup final need a result to get Aquilini his two playoff gates defence.

 

[brock hughes007]

This team,is to Jeykle and Hyde for me,,they go back to 500%after this game.

 

[Knight53]

Should be a win. Pettersson/Kuzmenko go off with 6-7 points between them.

4 more goals and Horvat hits 30, just crazy to think about in December.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Huh? Josh Morrissey has 40 points in 35 games?

 

[Canuckle1970]

For my mental survival, I can only handle thoughts about the next game.

We will win or lose in Winnipeg, but guarantee that Kyle Connor will score, as always.

 

[Kryten]

Perfect time to trip on our laces and fall behind the pack. That is needed to trade Horvat. Imagine if they keep him for a playoff push and lose him for nothing. This team would never let that happen though

 

[wonton15]

Jets for some reason have played us like legit powerhouses the past while. This feels like a classic letdown game where we’re riding a big win and come out flat

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

There will be no tripping over the laces. That’s like the one thing we are good at. Avoiding the full collapse. When we are in the midst of tripping, we angle our fall in to the trip as to continue on our merry way to around Gary .500.

 

[Hoglander]

They should be motivated for his one, after the recent 5-1 drubbing (don't believe I've ever used that word before) from the last Jets game.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Remember how GDTs used to be 10 pages long before games?

 

[Toss it to Tanti]

Going to the game tonight... going to be a lot of mixed emotions, I want them to win because I'm going, but know that it's probably best for the long-term outlook for the team if they lose.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Remember how GDTs used to be 10 pages long before games?

Used to be a time where every single GDT was over 1,000 posts by the end of the game. That was why we needed to lock them up and create Post Game Threads.

Apathy towards the team is a small part, but people drifting from message boards to social media like Twitter and Reddit has been a big contributing factor.

I would love to do a deeper dive into this if the team was as good, but it is so hard to do so with the team just being terrible for so long.

There is pro's to twitter of getting to hear from certain media members and interact with them, but there is also so much utter crap there.

Reddit is just a crap... it will generally be the last place I go for anything, but it definitely has taken people.

If this team does turn around soon, I do wonder what it will look like here. I mean I doubt I am going anywhere. I will probably outlast twitter.

I tried Reddit and it was honestly just too stupid. Valid opinions were downvoted. People try and do too much to get upvotes.

Twitter is full of bots or idiots behind fake accounts giving ridiculously stupid and racist takes.


Anyways...



What a strange career. I thought he was finished after 2015-16 but is now playing his 1000 game.

Oh, you're preaching to the choir. I enjoy HF and message boards in general. I tend to never go on Reddit (not for hockey, anyway) and I only have a Twitter account to follow hockey reporters for breaking news.

But for actual discussion, I like HF. And I like the community here on HF Van.

But I've been around long enough to see a lot of big contributors eventually move on to other platforms (or just have their real lives occupy more of their time to the point that HF doesn't fit in anymore :p )

There's something to be said for a smaller group of opinions. I find that this forum is pretty much inline with how much time I want to spent reading/discussing the team so it's a good fit. I tend to "ignore" most threads and just stick to reading a handful and I do find the interface of HFboards works great in truly cutting out the noise.
