Wouldn't it just be magic God dam work again so going to miss LIVE, very annoyed. Will be with you fellow Canucks fans in spirit and will keep off all media tomorrow so i can get back home from the hotel and watch Friday evening with the wife. If there is a Game 7 definitely will be watching LIVE!!!!! Team need to ride our goalie and get back to Game 2 performance. Don't engage with Reaves and others, keep them flat so they cant react, get the first goal and their frustration will kick-in.....sounds easy LOL. Will be on tomorrow night i hope celebrating but Go Canucks tonight.....bottom 6 please contribute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JayDangles Posted September 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2020 4 hours ago, Googlie said: Was thinking of the conundrum that is Jake, and after a little bit of digging found an interesting angle .... Our most consistent hitters are either Swedish (Edler and Fantenberg) or US College players (Motte, Stecher, Gaudette and, last couple of games even Boesser). Jake, Beagle and Myers are the only graduates of the Canadian junior system that are consistent hitters. But is Jake really that bad? His closest Vegas comparison would be Tuch, who is 3 months older, was taken 18th in the 2014 draft when Jake went 6th, is taller (6'4 to Jake's 6'1) but lighter (220 to Jake's 226). He does, ofc, have more playoff experience (40 games vs Jake's 14) but not as much NHL experience (200 games vs Jake's 279 games) So how do they compare in the hitting department? Jake has 32 hits (12.3 per 60 mins), 4 blocks, 6 takeaways and 3 giveaways Tuch has 28 hits (8.32 per 60 mins), 8 blocks, 5 takeaways and 12 giveaways Jake does it with an average of 11.09 mins per game vs Tuch's 15.32 So the "eye test" in this case doesn't match the facts. Sure, he isn't scoring like Tuch, but I bet the Knights are as aware of Jake on the ice as we are of Tuchs presence I think it's funny that you just glossed over the biggest difference. Tuch has 7 goals... That's a lot more than Jake's 1 goal. So while they compare similarly in lots of areas, they are not providing similar team support. If Jake had 7 goals, many people would not be complaining about his lack of physicality, but he has 1 goal. Therefore he needs to get his sh!# Together and start throwing the body or rush the puck, or get in a scrum or do something, anything. I think it's time people accept the fact that playoff Jake was wishful thinking 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been given more than his share of chances time and time again. He is a decent 3rd liner and that’s it. Nothing more. Stop asking more from this guy. It’s really not fair for him as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Jake has more faceoff wins? More pk time? Sorry but having speed and using speed are two different things. Having size and using size are two different things. All the players you listed have more heart and determination on each shift than Jake can put together in a series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirston Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Jake isn’t even a 3rd or 4th liner, you gotta hit and skate hard neither of which he does. He is capable but just won’t do it except maybe once in a blue moon. Any stats that show he’s hitting are mere bumps not actual hits like Vegas is doing. I really can’t stand Jake because he has some good tools but has a terrible attitude and obviously doesn’t care about the team. The sooner he’s gone the better but I can’t imagine in my wildest dreams he can fetch a 1st rounder unless a GM is on good drugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamer4GM Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I just got off the phone with Greener (he lets me call him that) I told him that, even though I’m 53 and can barely skate or shoot the puck and would likely mess up any line change I’m involved in, I’ve got a ton of heart and determination and want to win more than anything in the world He says, “Yeah, so what?” I explained that most of CDC have lost faith in Jake and really don’t feel he’s contributing this round He was shocked! As soon as my Covid results clear, that’s it. I’m lacing ‘em up and he’s putting me on the 4th line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Lol how did a GDT in an important playoff game turn into Jake trade proposal thread? Lets hope he has a good game tonight and more importantly, our team wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Wonder is Smith's recent comments will fuel the Canucks tonight. Might just give them an extra gear they need. Pettersson will give him the Swedish Death Stare and that'll be it. Hat trick for Petey tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I hope Jake doesn't read this crap about him and run out of position to make a hit or take a penalty just to satisfy a bunch of snivelling whiners!!!!!!!!!

yes we can nucks Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I got a good feeling about tonight's game. We won the last game without much of an attack. Our offence is due for another breakout game. I think we finally get some production from our bottom 6. I'm calling a great all round game by the whole team for another tight win, 5-4. Last game I called a monster game by Demko and Petey on the winning goal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
