Team doesn't seem to want to use him in any special team scenario or OT. Sad to see. That speed in OT? Game over in the best way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave Goldy over half a season in the top 6, Jake can’t even get half a month. No special teams time, shackled to the bench in OT despite being our fastest skater. Maybe I just have rose coloured glasses. I dunno anymore. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to sound off the wall but his decisions remind me sort of like WD style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you were being serious but the definition just in case. Lol. I agree with the WD point. Just so happens Green has a much better team so we don't roast him as hard. No Megna's and Chaput's for Greener to overplay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake should be out there in OT, his speed alone, would give the Canucks so much opportunity to win. And that's what the franchise is about, no? Winning games? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a strong feeling that it's Jake's hockey sense, or his ability to keep himself from taking shots and turning over pucks in the offensive zone, that keeps Green from playing him in OT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could skate circles around after he retrieved the puck. He'd set it up great for our snipers. Plus he's usually fresher than our vets after playing only 10 minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Lots commenting on Jake in OT Maybe they have practised it and he sucked and was not good at it? Even ones trusting in Benning and Green knowing what they are doing There must be a reason why neither have pushed it I can see if when THEY feel he is ready (after seeing in practices perhaps) and maybe he does well, these people will be saying, see I told you :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I get why everyone thinks Jake would be great in OT. He's got wheels so you think he'd excel, but he also is prone to making some really bad decisions with the puck, and those decisions can hurt you a lot more quickly playing 3-on-3. I think that's probably why they don't trust him in OT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low brow dude, low brow haha...but it’s funny because it’s true. We have a crap OT record, why not try something new!?

Law of Goalies Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 To be honest, the past couple of years when I see Jake play OT, don't think he has caused a turnover and actually had scoring chances. I still remember the breakaway against Mcdavid or shielding the puck from McKinnon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I do not get why TG is so much harder on Jake than everyone else. The kid is on pace for 20-25 goals, yet new guys get ice time that he should get. He's got a very versatile tool box, start utilizing his skill set or trade him so he can grow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I've really liked JV's game the past half dozen or so. He's bringing a great energy and mixing it up a fair bit. He's an agitator, and getting more involved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
