[PGT] Winnipeg Jets at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 19, 2021
N4ZZY replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
I’m already thinking about Sunday’s game. Hope the boys get a good evening of rest, time with family tonight and tomorrow, and get back at it on Sunday. They need to get a winning streak going, and the just an overall sense that the organization is trending in the right direction despite all of the media coverage that’s been on the team. I want to believe in this team and the damage they can do once everything starts clicking. -

They say usually you get what you see from a player by the time they’re 25. Brock’s 24. They’re both kinda close in terms of offensive production. But Petey’s a better playoff perform with 18 points in 17 games, while Brock’s got 11 points in the same amount of games played. Petey’s also a year younger the Boeser is. I mean, some of the fan base here were willing to pay Petey whatever it took to keep him here long term. Pettersson in his first two seasons has outproduced, offensively, Boeser. Petey with 132 point in 139 games played, and Boeser with 111 points in 131. So yeah, I think Petey based on his past performance is probably worth more moving forward, especially if he’s playing up to his potential. And with the way the team has been playing the last 4 weeks or so, there’s not a lot of players on the team that are worth very much, and that includes our young stars in Brock and Pettersson. If they keep playing like this, they’re not going to be worth it, and their agents know that. Play better, and they’ll have leverage in negotiations, don’t play good, and they won’t have much, the leverage will be on Benning and his crew. -
I agree that if he doesn’t want to sign here, then no choice but to trade him to get some value back. Which would be unfortunate. Would essentially be breaking up the core with him moving forward. I guess that’s the ugly side of the business isn’t it? But why wouldn’t Bo want to remain here if the team is winning? I also understand it from Bo’s perspective. If I was 27 years old, I’d want a good chance at winning and competing for the Cup, not just the playoffs.

Yeah, maybe. But I think the players have thicker skin than we do. They know they haven't been nearly good enough. Probably think that they deserve every criticism coming their way. Maybe they've got a sense of humor that we don't know about. Dunno. But maybe Green wanted to lighten things up? I still think he's gone. This win just postpones things, but does the team look like they're getting better? -

It's too early to say that. Your tune will change if he scores 90 points (if) next season for example. I still like Petey more than Brock. Brock's a little older, more injuries, he hasn't proven that he can stay healthy at all in any of the years he's played so far in his career. AND. Brock's qualifying offer is 7.5M. Is he worth that? If Petey doesn't play up to his skillset, then he's going to cost a lot less than what he's currently making in this contract. -

Also think the forwards need to block more shots. Lay their bodies on their line. -

I'm not even talking about being 12-10. That would require a 6-7 game winning streak. It still feels like that's not possible with this group. But who am I to say? I think I'd be happy if they can get to 10-13-2. Losing a few games here and there is more realistic. -

Good for Kyle, the local kid. Happy for him. There needs to be some good things that need to start to happen for this team. It cannot be this bad for the entire season, right. RIGHT? -

that it'll improve. that's what the poster said, that he/she thinks it'll improve. i'm just asking what's the evidence that it'll get better? -

Yeah. I think he's going to be expendable. Trading him would get a pretty good return before he signs that QO. I wonder if the organization thinks they can retain him, but at more than 8M. Ugh. I'm not so sure that's a good contract for a guy who's career best is 56 points, and has a hard time remaining healthy, and isn't the fastest skaters. -

N4ZZY replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Yeah. That's not going to last. Coming into games thinking they shouldn't take penalties isn't a good way to play. Players are going to take penalties, they're human. I think Pearson took a minor tonight, didn't he? -

I think this is the difference between the players and the fans. We see the team as a fire tire, and we're like "start over. sell everything." Players on the team see this as an opportunity to fight back, push back, compete, and climb out of the hole they dug themselves in. They're not mathematically out of the playoffs.....yet. And I think once that happens, they'll continue to compete. -

hah. I wonder if this is a shot at some of the younger players like Petey, Brock, Hughes (all under 25). -

I mean, that's always the plan. -
Yeah, I hear you. But I don't know about blowing it up. We have some decent pieces that are hard to find. Personally for me. We need Bo. Miller is the guy for me that is expendable. He would get us a lot in a trade. I wouldn't trade Petey, but maybe that's because his value is so low, like you've said, but he'll turn things around for sure eventually. I wouldn't trade Demko either. He's such a good goalie in this league at 25 years old, and he'll get better over time. Just entering into his prime. Pearson has value, it's just nothing that we want. Could probably get a late pick for Pearson. I'm just worried about what trading your captain does to the locker room. Especially if that dressing room is fragile.

Yeah. They were aggressive defending near the end, and the Jets almost scored near the end as wel. Shorthouse made it sound like the puck was ON THE LINE. I didn't see the game, so I'm not sure how close it was. But man, I would not have been surprised to hear the Canucks lead by 2 goals with 2 min left to go, and then the Jets scored two goals to tie it. I'm glad they won. But this is only ONE &^@#ING GAME. Let's see if this team can build off of this, or whether it's going to be 1 win, and then lose 5-6 straight, win 1, lose 6 straight. If that's the case, just do what needs to be done, and relieve both GM and coach. Cause at that point, it's clear that the win might be deceiving. How did Petey play tonight offensively and defensively?
