Snerg's roommate I think.

Friends with Mark Wheeler

Schmidt's not a RHD.

Nucks need to gain cap space. They seriously need Dmen, either side.



Who the hell is Big Sak?

Paging @Jet!!! Come in @Jet!! Operation Nickname-a-Finn is in peril! Return to base! I repeat -- return to base!

I mean, it's a pretty stupid nickname, not as bad as disparaging nicknames for players floating around here (I hate them and don't think they should be allowed tbh)

SAKu Maenalanen.

He's big, and plays with balls. He needs a big sak to contain them.

I hear ya -- all in good fun.

I'm def in favour of the Electric Ehls genre of nicker; not so much the denigrating ones.

IMO we're gonna have to lean in and gotta really commit to push "Big Sak" over the line. Hands across the water...

I know he's big but I think he plays with a puck...

 

[RabidOne]

Agreed

Hoglander can score, be a bit of a pest and never stops chasing the puck

He almost didn't make the team and if the Canucks were healthy to start the season he might be in the press box or even sent down. Apparently Bruce isn't entirely happy with his attention to detail and defensive play.

Maybe he's sick of playing on that gongshow of a team?

If he's fallen out of favor, maybe we can get him for a song?

Since the Canucks need a big shakeup maybe we do something like Stan and Schmidt for Hogf***er and Miller?

I dont think you have to give up that much. Stan alone would do it.
Not sure they would want Schmidt back.

Often players need a team change or coaching change to excel, we've seen the same thing here.

Hoglander would be fun. ManitobaPork could sponsor him.

 

[snowkiddin]

It must really suck to always expect the worst outcome.

I really enjoy feeling excited about the team and it's players, and if they don't hit the heights I've hoped for them, no big deal. It's just a game and entertainment.

This isn't aimed at you but I just don't understand why people would want to be negative and miserable about sport. Find a hobby that brings you happiness.

EDIT: What I also find hilarious is people were shitting on the Gagner acquisition too saying he was done, garbage yadda yadda yadda. I was excited to have him, and looking at last year when he scored 13 on a team with shit linemates, 4th line ice time and very little PP I was pumped to see what he could bring to our bottom six.

Now after what is not necessarily an unexpected start, people are singing his praises. I was happy the whole time.

Most people here liked the Gagner signing.

Idk I saw a lot of bitching and moaning about Chevys bargain basement shopping.

Confirmed with Link: - Jets sign Sam Gagner 1 year / 750 K

forums.hfboards.com

I read through the first three pages of that thread and there wasn’t one negative post.

Anywho, doesn’t really matter, I just remember being surprised that HFJets actually came to a positive consensus on something

But I may be misremembering, I’m getting old, y’know

And I may be sensitive to negativity around here, especially after the last couple of years.

Totally fair, last season’s disappointment brought out a lot negativity (some warranted, some not).

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

That wasn't complaining about Gagner. It was complaining about any player Chevy could have signed for <1 mil, aka "bargain basement". Some people wanted a player with a future higher up the depth chart.

A lot of Jets fans have become sensitized to negativity on the ice .... the last couple of years.

There was a whole thing about how the Jets were very interested in Jarnkrok and I think one other player like that, and they chose elsewhere. The debate went on about is Chevy trying hard enough or handcuffed by being in Winnipeg.

Let's not forget about the pining for Virtanen and Milano.

I had a guy rage on me in Twitter for saying why would we want a guy (Virtanen) who had to sign a pto. He was pushing some cap restriction handshake deal with Calgary conspiracy.

Fans love their "handshake deals" and their "sign and trades" and "3-way deals" but they're so rare.

[JetsFan815]

Stanley for Hoglander please.

Agreed

He always reminds me of Perreault whenever we play the Canucks. Maybe he's not that good but he always seems to play like an All Star against us.

 

[Jet]

Stanley for Hoglander please.

I'd do that in a microsecond. I don't know that the Canucks would give up on a 2019 draft pick that was so promising though

Do you think I keep a list?

If you're going to make counter arguments you should be able to back them up.
