Bo's line was good and Ericksson had a good game How the F can you have incredible chemistry on a line when JV just started playing on it???? Dude, be realistic... and they need a bigger body on that line and if Miller can spread out the scoring on another line that could use the help why wouldn't you do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly did they forget that it wasn't long ago that we could barely convert EN goals. We are showing that we can bury games and thus finishing them in regulation as well, which in turn is lesser mileage to not get forced into OT situations. We are defending leads in close games (need to have the same mentality when we have bigger leads and not get too confident) and making sure the games are out of reach. This has been led by our captain, a hard working winger in Pearson and a player fighting for his life in LE. Not saying LE is the sole reason, but this line has been much more dependable in many situations since he's been added to it. Have to give credit where it's due.

If we can get 1st or 2nd in the division and home ice, who knows we might sneak into the 2nd or 3rd round at this rate... Going to be some huge games against the Alberta teams later in the season... We are done with the Oilers for the regular season and we have 2 games left versus Calgary, We do however still have three games left against Arizona, 2 Colorado, 2 Vegas, 2 Boston. The games dont get any easier and we finish the regular season in April against Vegas and Arizona. One thing thats for sure is if we keep playing well, Vegas and Arizona fans will be worried about finishing the season against Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Having Jake on the top line, LE on the 2nd and Sutter on the 4th improved our ability to maintain pressure in the O zone greatly. A much more balanced attack. TG has been actively making improvements and the defensive coverage looks improved as well. I had my doubts on TG's ability but I now see his method to his madness. I have been asking for Jake to be given more responsibility and it has payed off almost immediately. Just think what they can do once they actually get some chemistry together. I see a line similar to the WCE forming but BETTER! I actually thought LE had lost his confidence and could not bounce back but boy was I wrong. That was the best game I have seen him play in a long time. That one timer he did showed he has gotten back some confidence. I owe an apology to TG, good call on putting LE with Bo. Barring any further injuries, I see these guys only getting better and better here on out. GCG!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are allowed but if you want to be realistic, Chem takes awhile and putting JV on top line is good for him ms Bree.. he needs it, the more confidence he has the better, it's trickle down affect can't help but help spreading out our team.. can't be relying on one line to produce when the opposing team puts their top shutdown line against. So now JT can be on the 2nd line and makes it more lethal, especially since Bo needs as much help as he can get so he can produce.. see how that works girl?

Kanukfanatic Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 12 hours ago, hobart16 said: Like that lineup. Boeser was very good on his line, Sutter very good on his line. Louis is doing ok and that line is totally reliable. Virtanen doesn't have to carry the puck as much on the first line and can finish plays rather than start/create them. Plus he adds some rock em sock em to that line. If canucks get Roussel and Beagle going a bit better we will be scary. Only beef for me was Fantenberg struggling again in sheltered minutes. We may need to give Rafferty a chance. Anybody see Raffs goal from last night. Looked like Bobby Orr. Fantenberg is playing the left side. Rafferty plays the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should thank LA and Detroit for allowing us to bump up our goals for this season. In the end the crazy games seem to have balanced out for us either way and we are still coming out on top.

Some of your takes are pretty hard to read. Almost every time I read one of your posts you’re trying to downplay Jake. Sorry but that like with Jake is far better defensively, physically, in the neutral zone and on the forecheck. They’ve barely played together so not sure what kind of chemistry you’re expecting, and if you actually payed attention to the game last night you’d see that Brock actually carried the puck and was actually shooting and creating chances himself, something that’s rarely been seen since his rookie season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwood12 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Missed most of the game. However PVR’d the game. The between the legs shot by Bo in the second would have been a beauty if he had scored. Overall I thought it was an excellent game. We now need 19 more wins to make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
