-AJ- Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You're not a Canuck fan if you're not cheering for these guys. Sure, they might frustrate you, but I can't see how a Canuck fan wouldn't want them to succeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see much difference other than Goldy getting more opportunity. yeah - and Vey was a much, much harder worker without the puck - far more engaged - battled for pucks consistently.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looks in the top 6 before or on the pp and he has looked terrible. Goldie has looked good in flashes. Not sure what kind of crack most people are smoking but JV looks terrible and Goldie has his moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Which fan in their right mind would cheer against a player getting better? Either they help us win or they net a better return in a trade that helps us win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydew Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Expecting Jake to build on his good year from last year and figure out how to effectively use his body and speed to get a better advantage over players. For Goldobin, I'm hoping he steps up defensively. He still does coast around when he doesn't have the puck and I find it honestly frustrating when the play is around him and he's just standing there watching the play go by.

He seems to play better for a game or 2 after Green benches him but at some point you're either motivated enough to succeed or you aren't. On top of that, he's not even scoring.

Boest-er Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've been fighting for these players with my cousins and my friends. I believe they can live up to their potential as long as long as they put in that effort, and i am seriously hoping that they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Both. I do believe the Canucks have big hopes that Goldy can turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yup. Virt will be better next season. Goldy needs to prove himself and I have faith he can be consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcheeze86 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I like them both goldy has a lot of offensive vision and had immediate chemistry with petey but green constantly was juggling lines so no real long term consistency happened JV is a hometown favourite and when hes playing his high energy game hes fun to watch his blazing speed is very new nhl but with a large frame im into having patience with these two but cant be benched or put in the pressbox for minor mistakes which is a confidence killer for developing players ....i disagreed alot with greens deployment last year but hope these 2 can solidify a spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Cheering for both. More so Jake than Goldy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If you can accept that JV is not going to be the first line player that you would hope based on his draft position and just look at what type of player he is you realize you have a good middle 6 forward who is the fastest on the team and one of the more physical. He’s a guy you can win with just fell short of his highest potential but can still improve a bit. Goldy can bounce I don’t see it with him he’d need to progress offensively and defensively, I’d much rather have Granlund who is much more versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’m Cheering for both. I think Utica will have some over priced Vets on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I think that Jake's development was rushed and this has been detrimental to his game. The time he needed to spend cutting teeth in the AHL would have done wonders to help him. But he is here, and hopefully he will continue to develop. This year could be a transformative year for him.

Not only was production down, but also our record, we were winning games and were above the playoff bracket just before the new year, right about where the change happened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Love Jake. I just think patience is needed, and as of right now he still contributes to the team. Led teh team in takeaways, c'mon! I like Goldy too, the problem with him is unlike Jake, he is too one dimensional and only seems to have chemistry with EP. He's good on the PP though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Insane how many people are ragging on Goldobin..the kid just finished his FIRST full professional season, and people already want to give up on him. He's got weaknesses and holes in his game, but we are not at the point where we can sacrifice and get rid of such offensive potential. To add some perspective, people are complaining about a .43 PPG pace as a 23 year old. Damn I wish we had more young players scoring at that pace. We need offense and we need it desperately. Trying out Goldy for the next 2 years is completely manageable and could very well end up as a high reward investment. The patience of some people on this board smfh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If Goldy could learn to shoot an inch lower a 3rd of the time he'd have what, 9 more goals? Didn't he hit the crossbar 27 times (or something like that) He has 2 things in his favour..... He might be that final bargaining chip in in the much discussed Edmonton trade that brings PoolParty to us He might help in enticing Tram back, and might ease Pod's transition to the NA environment in a couple of years So, yes, qualify him and keep him on the roster as injury insurance to one of our top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
