This damn thread is still alive? How many of these do we need? People will continue to hate Jake because as a 6th overall pick he isn't lighting the league on fire, but that's not Jake's fault. He is producing at a 2nd late rate, given his minutes, and the stats clearly show he is capable of playing a top 6 role. His main problem isn't his lack of hockey IQ. As others have posted, he has flashes of absolute brilliance at times. Jake's main problem is his work ethic and his consistency. Coming into camp out of shape, and his inconsistent effort are his main problem. He is still not the type of player you give up on and just trade away for a bag of pucks. I hope living and training with Myers this off-season will do him some good. At the very least, there's definitely a lower chance he comes into camp overweight.

Full-team effort tonight, everyone was dialed in. It's so great to see the bottom-6 continue to get rewarded for their hard work and effort every game. Markstrom had a great game, was solid. What a game, St Louis couldn't get anything going.

&^@# YES BOYYSSSSSSSSSSSS

Pathetic game management. The call on Fantenberg was legit, but the hilarious non-call when Markstrom gets run over and then the weak call when Allen gets a light bump, is just such a &^@#ing joke.

5min major lol

I &^@#ing hate Sutherland so much

&^@#ing hell

He's made a bunch of really good defensive reads, been positionally sound

Bsutts, big effort
