Loui is never as good as Jake at his best. And Jake at his worst is on par with Loui. This dumb take that Jake needs consistency is kind of annoying and just some garbage fans and media types regurgitate ad nauseam. On pace for 40+ points, plays sound defensively but STILL needs to do more. Everyone that plays hockey is prone to not bringing their best every night. Jake hasn’t been remotely bad at any point. But needs to be great to get top 6 looks. Players can “do the little things” and is gifted top 6 spots despite never ever looking good at any point. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, Jimmy McGill said: this is why: Looking at the underlying numbers of the Horvat line via analytics site Natural Stat Trick, the difference with and without Eriksson is stark. The Canucks control 54.22% of the shot attempts (corsi) with Eriksson, compared to 50.53% without him, but scoring chances are even more tilted: 55.29% with Eriksson; 45.73% without Eriksson. 5-on-5 via NaturalStatTrick.com Corsi-For-% Scoring-Chance-For-% Goals-For-% Horvat and Pearson with Eriksson 54.22 55.29 66.67 Horvat and Pearson without Eriksson 50.53 45.73 42.86 In other words, the Canucks significantly out-chance their opposition with Horvat, Pearson, and Eriksson on the ice at 5-on-5; they get significantly out-chanced when Horvat and Pearson are on the ice with other wingers. Since Eriksson joined Horvat's line, Horvat has nine points in seven games, none of them on the power play. Pearson has nine points too. https://www.vancourier.com/pass-it-to-bulis/loui-eriksson-could-be-the-winger-bo-horvat-has-been-waiting-for-all-this-time-1.24049245 One of the biggest LE critics on here but can’t deny the lines been clicking as a unit and he’s playing well.

Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) I expect the Canucks will be all jacked up and will have a great game against a high-scoring team. They generally do. I am not at all worried. Every team gets blown out. Anyways, things are kind of boring in the forum lately, so here is a sensationally shameless question... have some fun. Would you trade Horvat for Brady Tkachuk, straight up? Give me a beer for no. Give me a heart of yes. Edit Give me a laugh for &^@# no! I won’t answer any quotes as not to spam the place. Just want to see the ratio. Edited January 9, 2020 by 189lb enforcers? 2 1 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still salty about Matheson so I hope they lay some nasty hits on him tonight. Feeling a 3-1 win for the Canucks. Maybe that's why Jake will be Petey's wingman? A pre-emptive move to provide some protection? Would have been either Jake or the Rooster. And Jake is probably the better fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
