You could predict a let down in the intensity level because they think that they are good now. I think that the 3rd period showed that they get that they still have to work hard. The number of missed passes is so frustrating. They'll be fine when the rust is off AND when they start playing hard again This... can live with a loss, but this is really frustrating.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in an "open ice hit" way but on the boards and in scrums he used his size well. Ferland is still getting his legs under him after that illness and missing a bunch of pre-season. yup Jake did look much better. He wasn't afraid to hold Lucic against the boards either, got in the face of other guys too. Maybe this new look 3rd line with AG is what Jake needs.... thats what I'm hoping. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 This thread reads like a Support Group therapy session. Relax. The team is going to find chemistry. Be glad they are doing it out on the road and not during a Captaincy night thingy. All will be well. Stop your whining. 2 1 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) I can remember at the end of last year when Quinn showed up and Petey, Brock and Quinn were 3 on 3, the other teams could not handle their movement. Fast forward to last night and the 1st PP were basically just static...……..so easy to defend Watched the Tor/Mtl game and their PP's were continually rotating/moving.....very much Russian Red Army from way back when...….no one had a position in a sense But the opposition could not guard against it...…………..this is the new way of the NHL...….MOVEMENT ARE you friggin listening Newell Edited October 6, 2019 by janisahockeynut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed Jake a lot more than usual. I think that Ferland will be a fabulous mentor for Jake. It was hard to watch the game at times; what with the disorganized play, terrible passes and missed shots on goal. The pp looked even worse. Of course with so many new players on the team, it will require more game time to develop the chemistry required for them to play as a cohesive unit. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can play like that consistently, he has a place on the team going forward. He will generate some offense just because he has some skill but the way he played last night is needed even if he doesn't produce as much offense. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 10pavelbure96 Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 2 games people.... 2 games. The Dallas Stars are also 0-2 and the sharks are 0-3. But if you ask anyone they have both those teams penciled in as playoff teams. Chill out 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing with tenacity is difficult in isolation. Having one guy that is expected to go out and play a hard, physical game doesn't work. You need a few of them to feed off each other and support/stand-up for together. Jake has never seemed like he was comfortable being that guy on his own. Having teammates that also play a heavy game and that will have your back, makes one more confident and aggressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireGillis Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Quinn on the 1st pp unit please! There's no point in trying to balance both pp units if the result is both units suck. Most teams load up pp 1 and play it for the majority of the time, while the 2nd unit gets scraps. Put Hughes and horvat back on pp 1! Ferland needs to start hitting people! I can handle the losses, but I just want the game to be exciting. Coming off the habs/leafs game, this game was a real snoozefest in comparison. Just give me some exciting scoring chances please!

I think part of the issue with Jake, and one of my few criticisms of TG, is that's been almost exclusively stick and very little carrot. After awhile you lose hope that you'll ever get the carrot, so you quit trying. TG needs to make sure Jake gets more consistent rewards when he's doing what is asked of him........and despite all the crap people talk about Jake, he's actually one of the more consistent, value added players on the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rush17 Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 So true. After a hamonic took an extra whack at marky Gaudette was all up in his grill and cross checking him repeatedly. We need that type of pack mentality. The cam unfortunately then panned to a gassed Brandon Sutter who just casually skated by. Sutter showed zero interest in the after whisle activities. He could have just been gassed but he has to show some life. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
