  1. Why is spelling indicative of how long a poster will last? This is a sports board. Spelling and grammar mistakes should be common esp with people considering how multinational this board is. Don't be that guy.
  2. The boys went to the bar in Chi and could not get their feet moving. This game had its chances but They did not show up. I am not worried. I do not think either of these teams beat us. I feel we beat ourselves by taking the night off in Chi.
  3. That won a game? Ouch. Must have been like us last night. We can win this boys! Let's go to the bar. Oooops.
  4. Pearson would do better on the wing with Sutter and Virt until Roussell gets back. A responsible D line that can score. I would also like to see something happen with Bo's line. I think he has more to give O wise. Baer might be an answer but... there are a lot of ifs. However, The Canucks did not show up this game. Refs were terrible for both teams
  5. I have noticed that Green will flip them depending on variables during the game. Virt plays better with Sutter. Gaud jumps off the line quick but kinda lulls as the game progresses. My POV Predicting a big game for the 4th line.
  6. Rowdycanuck posted the TSN video. I thought it was horrid.
  7. Those TSN guys just parroted Ferraro. They are horrible.
  8. I thnk you are still expecting him too be a 1st line superstar. That ship has sailed. He is a 3rd liner that can fill in with Bo. He is a draft pick that made the NHL. For the underlined part. I agree that on the rush with QH he was out of position but there were two Blues in the way and QH got the pass through. I wanted him to fight for position there. Other areas he looked good. Bolded - I believe the big hits from the first couple years have been coached out of him. I believe that Green does not want a huge crashing hit if it means Jake is out of position and behind the play which was of big concern his first few years. Listening to Green in the post game he said something to the effect that it was a heavy game but not by design. I think he wants hits when they are presented but not as a way of playing. He wants a strong D that is in position and working hard. IMO Results? Hit the post and do not forget that he almost handcuffed Bennington with a quick shot earlier too. There was another play that looked interesting but do not remember it well. Drive the net more. I agree. I think he needs to keep this pace and his confidence will reach a point later this season and we will see some drives.
  9. Have a clip / update? being in Europe now I miss a lot of this stuff.
  10. I saw it too. Reg season and it was once or twice in the same game. Do not remember the game.
  11. I was thinking that Jake might look good sitting in Ovie's spot on PP2. He can blast it and it might be a better option than Leivo. I like that idea of the PK too. Hanson and Richardson both proved effective because of their speed. Again he would need to be with Sutter. I do not think he has much chemistry with Beagle.
  12. To be fair. Most of his critics do not seem to understand how important D is. That if you have a great PK then you will win a lot more games. Instead they want 12 Petterssons and 6 Hughes.
  13. I do not know if anyone remembers but when Roussel - Sutter - Virt were together for a few times last year they were gold. I Really want to see that again.
  14. That line looks more dynamic too. I like Virt with Sutter as that line has been doing great. I thin Rous Sutter and Virt are going to be scary good.
  15. I think Jake plays better with Sutter personally. Jake knows his role there. I like that Jake was getting in the face of .... (Forgot the name). Pushing and shoving in the third period. Looked good on his goal. He is playing great coverage but his O does need work despite the 2 points. The one thing I noticed was on the three on one he followed the play past the goal line. Would have liked him to hang in the slot. That was the only bad thing I noticed. He was throwing it on the net trying to create rebounds. Very good overall.
  16. That was a great hit. Remember I had to rewind it to look again and take the number. It was timed so well too. The Sharks were starting to get into the hitting and had ust taken out Sautner. Great statement hit.
  17. Mashed in a very late hit by Dillion in front of the refs with no call.
  18. Someone once said (Gretz?) without a good assist the goal would never happen. I butchered it but if we have a player that helps a pylon to score consistently but he himself gets 0 goals on the season. I am happy because the goal still occurs.
  19. Thought it was a good shout out to the Myers and Edler for shutting down Florida's big line. Thought it was said -4 on the night.
  20. I agree with the bolded. As for the turnovers, yes true. He has also caused the other teams to cough up the puck and has won board battles that lead to possession.
  21. You have hated JV from the start. 1. We all agree he was placed into the NHL early and bouncing around between the NHL, AHL and that Jrs comp Jake looked over coached. It hurt him and his development. What is your point? 2. That was a rookie mistake him trying to get bigger and he did it wrong. It was his second year. A few players have had that problem, Boeser included. Get over it. 3. We do not now what the goals that Green set for Jake in the off season. You assumed it. Green and Jake both stated he just missed it but tough love Green made him pay. 4. Baertschi floundered on the third line in Calgary. Why did you want him to start the season there? JB said he was afraid to get him so he got sent down to get his confidence. 5. Green trusts JV more than Gaudette. Despite being called all sorts of things JV has been consistent in his D assignment and in the Blues game was relied on to help keep us afloat. 6. He has been solid as a third liner. Now he has been playing well with Bo. What's the problem? He is forechecking. This has been a good year for him so far,
  22. How much time did Leivo get on the PP2? I would actually like to see Leivo taken off the PP2 and Jake placed in Ovies spot and see if he can blast a few in there.
  23. Young teams break when they get big leads and the other team starts to push. You saw it after the 3rd goal. Samsonov then started playing lights out and it was over. The Super Bowl with the Ravens vs Patriots is another example. It is not coaching as there is nothing theycan do. The team just dies. It happens in all sports. Canucks learnt a lesson as a young team. Betternow than later
  24. So, are we seeing the NHL taking another step to try and remove fighting? Ferland and Wilson Hug and ref is chirping. Beagle starts trying to push and start something and the ref is yelling I will only take one. Past games the same thing.
