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

[mossey3535]

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

This can't be emphasized enough. Think about it.

 

[rypper]

Did Jake even play? I honestly don't remember a single shift.

It's amazing how Roussel continues to stay in the lineup ahead of MacEwen (and even Hawryluk/Michealis).

I mean it won't change the outcome of the game but c'mon lol

I caught myself wondering the same.

Jake played 6:01 total. Only MacEwen played less. He sat for most of the 3rd.

 

[bbud]

From un underlying number standpoint
This was Hughes best game of the year

1 assist
Very solid possession 5v5
16+ minutes 5v5
HD scoring chances 6-1 when he was on the ice.
and he played about 9-10 minutes 5v5 against Ehlers and Kyle Connor the most of any winnipeg's players.

THAT is vintage Hughes from last season.

Been waiting for this all season

That is good but honestly Hughes lack of d has been as much reason for losses on multiple occasions as any other player he needs to be better .

 

[Lawzy]

At no point, Brandon, at no point.

Yours are all more important but I'll throw Myers getting picked up in the expansion draft and Miller traded for blue chip and 2022 1st on the wishlist for the year.

Yeesh, no thanks. I'd rather keep Myers and Miller, let Holtby get selected since he's so checked out on this team already

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Jake is barely an NHL player at this point. Looks ready to join the local fire hall and call it a career.

He'll get all the female attention he desires and apparently that's all he cares about. He has enough money to f*** around for a few years until eventually he has to get a real job.

 

[VibinCanuck]

What do you call a team that wins only 2 games in their last 11 games?

A bad team.

That's what they are, "playing well" doesn't mean anything if you don't get results.

 

[NorCalhockey]

f*** that, Mike Ricci all the way

Lololol. But is he more handsome with or without his fake teeth?

 

[Peen]

Yeesh, no thanks. I'd rather keep Myers and Miller, let Holtby get selected since he's so checked out on this team already

holtby isn't even top five of goalies most likely to be selected

we are going to be stuck like all f***ing hell w that contract next season

 

[SamInVan]

Only MacEwen played less. He sat for most of the 3rd.

Yep, and that useless slug Rousel gets 7 shifts for 4 1/2 mins of TOI in the third. Green is brutal.

 

[Dab]

Brandon “moral victories” Sutter

Although Winnipeg is my first team, Vancouver is second. I really want Vancouver to make the playoffs so I'm glad canucks at least got a point out of this game.

 

[Raistlin]

Time to play Demko until he drops dead from exhaustion. Or stick with Holtby and fire up the heavily armoured Tiger.

The conflicting thing is, the Canucks played well, the Jets stole this one a bit. And the Canucks has played quite well the last 4-5 games with not much to show for it. But if we keep losing, getting an elite D to go with Hughes this year would cement that elite core that much more. Once the crap in the bottom six expires, we should take off and won't get a chance to draft top 10 for a while.

They ain't making the playoffs.

 

[Breakers]

Not in the past 3 or 4 games
he has minuses from empty netters, and other minuses where he just stepped on the ice and had nothing to do with the goals

and tonight he was better, and his numbers over the past 3 or 4 indicate that.

The OT he is covering his man, unless you could make a case they double PLD, which teams rarely double team unless it is McDavid or Mackinnon in OT

 

[Ginger Papa]

Well, the start was good, seeing Zach

deal with

Properly

And then seeing Petey getting

Was really exciting and inspires confidence

But giving up a 2 goal lead is like eating

Losing so quickly in OT after that comeback kinda felt like

But now

So on to the next game.

 

[wonton15]

I dont understand how we can just trot out the same top lines and pairs every night and hope something will change.
Try something different , double shift some guys create mismatches.

Moral victories don’t count, that fight was good in the first period but this team is missing the plot.

Yeah it boggles my mind that someone earlier in the thread said Hughes worries him (in the context of signing he and Pettersson to big extensions).

 

[M2Beezy]

Tell me thats not a REAL quote is it?????

 

[Hit the post]

Yeesh, no thanks. I'd rather keep Myers and Miller, let Holtby get selected since he's so checked out on this team already

I mean 4+ million dollar 30+ year old backup goalies with a subpar save percentage are so hard to sign via free agency.

 

[Peen]

ya he's definitely not statistically league worst defensively over the past year

I hate the idea of losing too, but one step back to take a giant leap (in two years) forward. Avs did it. We need a much smarter GM though.

 

[hellstick]

Put Boeser in a shooters position on PP. Why is this so hard to understand? Miller should be net front.

 

[lawrence]

Pettersson won’t be seeing a high avv contract if he doesn’t start to produce points.
