The Canucks will. The Jets have been lucky tonight. They’ve known when to sell it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Is it our top line is a no show? Or does good teams just neutralize our best players? Maybe because Joshua is out. Our best players need to cash in on the power play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McMahon Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just now, HKSR said: I disagree. Our opportunities have primarily been kept to the perimeter. The Jets are very defensively sound. It might look like the Canucks had control, but really, how many grade A chances have they actually had? Against a team like this the PP has to click. Canucks are also without some key depth. I bet you anything if we had Soucy and Joshua playing we would be dominating the Jets. Canucks are a very defensively sound team and losing two very defensively sound players tends to diminish their defensive abilities. Now the power play is an entirely different problem. The players need to figure it out. There’s a lot of miscommunication between the units. On another note the Jets are completely healthy with Helleybuck playing lights out goaltending. They are taking advantage of Vancouvers mistakes and 2 of those mistakes came from an inexperienced player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means the refs CAN determine the outcome & we can all see how they’d prefer things to go. Each zebra has his own unalienable biases. It’s up to the league to root out any existing or lingering bias, as the IIHF does …& NOT be deploying it! ^That’s our frustration,… when f’ing-up & losing control or proper perspective over a high-profile game is labeled “experience” & not disqualifying. Good teams adjust to however the reffing is. You play within the context and adjust your game accordingly. Vancouver did not, they played undisciplined all game and it burned them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Petey has trouble on the PP… we need to figure out our PP… Jets cashed in we didn’t… We were carrying the five on five play but our special teams have cost us this game 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just now, HKSR said: Yeah I'm not overly phased right now. The playoffs will be a different kinda game. When our defenceman slam their forwards over and over and over in a series, it'll make a difference. Yes it does, as long they don't give up the go ahead goal every time. Then it will be a short series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 3 minutes ago, stawns said: An entertaining game, but poorly managed by Van, imo. I agree with the poster who said this team has to start beating top teams That wasn't an entertaining game. It was sloppy as hell by both teams and the officiating was bush league. Canucks didn't give the effort, but everything about the game was 2nd rate, including the anounsers.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua.Guy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Even strength the Canucks buried the Jets tonight. If you think otherwise after actually watching this game, you have brain damage.

Hellebuck is all they have. They haven’t been that good defensively especially in the second period.

coho8888 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just now, Canuckfanforlife82 said: I just feel a difference between our top players and other teams. When ours have bad games they have BAD games. Completely soft and do not dominate at all. I do question whether they have it in them. We have a lot of wins but it’s not because of our top players stepping up for the majority of them. Our third line has been way more important than the other top lines. That says a lot. Not sure I agree that they had a bad game. Juuls has been a rock back there but those two plays really cost us. Now the Noston game, that was bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
