Post-Game Talk: Jets def. Canucks - 4-3 (OT) (Pettersson x2, Sutter)

[SeawaterOnIce]

7 regulation wins after 22 games. Only 4 against non-Ottawa teams.

Picking up where they left off in 2019-2020 where they only had 6 wins in 18 games before the season got called off.

This team is fundamentally flawed.

Feel like that’s the first game all year I can definitively say our goaltending cost us the game. We were the better team and played a really strong game - a few groaners from Holtby and that’s all she wrote.

That Calgary OTL was also not a great goaltending performance either. Both the first goal when Demko's on his knees early and the bad misread on the OT goal.

Green just struggles to platoon these guys. Either one guy plays well and then Green just inexplicably goes to the other guy or he just rides 1 guy a game too long. Just how it is this year.

I'll look at it this way, it's one step closer to getting rid of Benning. Silver lining.

We gamble, and we lost, better options available, we went for a boom or bust, and got the bust

There is no boom when you pay $4.3MM x 2 years, with an expansion unfriendly 2nd year, for a goalie who has been in a sharp 3 year decline posting an average of .890 over those years.

If you want .895 goaltending, just sign someone for $850k and upgrade the rest of your roster.

And no 1040 to call and complain to

conclusions

Dubois is a beast.

Holtby is not good

Roussel is toast

Wouldn’t be surprised if Hellybuck has concussion symptoms after taking that shot from EP40.

mcEwan is a better fighter than I thought after watching him fight a few times so far this season.

I'd be perfectly content with not seeing Antoine Roussel in a Canucks jersey ever again. Big Mac fills his role being a couple million cheaper.

Why the f*** is this a thing?

 

[canucksfan]

Nucks are three points back of the Habs but they have played five more games. Playoffs aren’t going to happen unless the team goes on a huge run.

 

[sting101]

Getting Dubois was a huge move for Wpg.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Why exactly did we spend $4.3MM on Holtby?

Someone please explain it to me, haven't gotten a reasonable explanation since the signing. Does not move the needle for the team.

He was good 3-4 years ago and/or is a brand name. Like every Benning UFA signing.

 

[Fatass]

Seriously though. As much as it hurts to watch us lose OVER AND OVER AGAIN, it’s for the best. Even our owner said it’s part of management ‘s plan. It’s always a good idea to build character in your young core guys with lots and lots of LOSING.

 

[canuckking1]

Damn Pettersson hattrick was in the cards. Really would've been a nice end to the week. Oh well

 

[NoShowWilly]

2-2-2 in our last 6. 2-3-2 since our season turned around.

Team has definitely looked better but that won't get them close.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Sincerely hope Seattle takes Holtby before he sinks our next season too

They will. And Myers, and Eriksson. They dont have TVs in Seattle.

 

[mouz135]

One loss away from Senators

Another loss towards to eventual firing of Jimbo

 

[Pip]

OJ was looking good with 12 minutes through 2 but only plays 1 minute of the third. Tough with the penalties but just gets lost in the shuffle.

 

[NuxFan09]

I think you can count on one hand the amount of people on this board who are thinking about the playoffs at this point.

are you hurt

It’s Ian Clark’s fault

 

[lawrence]

Pettersson, with 11 even strength points through the entire season so far.

Gradient Jersey is a curse, this goes back to when we had the original gradient jerseys. I'm starting to remember now. Even when our WCE was torching the score board, we would lose quite a bit dawning those jerseys.

2-2-2 in our last 6. 2-3-2 since our season turned around.
