Dogcrazy Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 6 minutes ago, ShawnAntoski said: Imo, Horvat and Edler still seems to have the mentality exhibited during the Sedins' era (great players but being a douche is just not a part of there makeup): gentleman's hockey. I can't remember the game but a more recent example is when Edler was having a Marchand & Sedins type moment; Elder did not over react which is the right reaction but on the ice you have to show some bite or emotion when someone is trying to hurt you. Hopefully, as the leadership of the team changes, so will the teams' toughness - a type that bites back (hard) at the right time but does not play sloppy/undiscipline hockey.... The leadership of the team won't change anytime soon though, looks like Horvat is going to be the captain of this team for a long, long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the game when they jumped in was the time. At the point it happened your still fighting for points you need, you hope the ref does his job. I agree, that is what Horvat was thinking, because he learned from the Sedin's The truth is, though, that if Hoglander gets hurt on the play, or on the last play, and there was no response Does it hurt our team long run......how many games does Hoglander miss Horvat should just have baseball swung his stick on the back of the idiots legs and put him down Then he could have asked the refs, what they were thinking, as he went to the box IMO,. that sends a lessen that may save teeth later on, so, although I understand Horvat has to man up at some point..............he is a lousy captain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 No shortage of guys trying to take liberties with Hughes and Hoglander, can't keep letting that $&!# go. Don't know many teams in the league that would.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 39 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Miller is averaging almost a point a game. He’s not the problem. The Canucks are 3rd overall in goals for but last overall in goals against. The 2 problems we have are keeping the puck out of our net and Petey’s production. He’s our weak link in the top 6 right now. 16th in goals for taking into account the number of games played and 3rd to last in goals against only ahead of SJS and Ottawa. The North does not look particularly strong defensively and that could be inflating the offensive numbers vs a typical season where they would play some more reliable defensive teams. There’s also more offence in the North so that could be hurting the goals against. Given the format doesn’t feel all that fair to compare teams cross division. In the North Vancouver is only outproducing Ottawa and Calgary in goals per game, with all the other teams save Ottawa allowing less goals against.

This is tough to figure but full credit to Myers. This is what happens when the game managers/zebras are lacking situational awareness - the officiating is getting worst cause it is so inconsistent and it solely still depends on who is calling the game. The rules are in placed (and more are still being created) but it still comes down to the zebras - human nature... Kudos to Myers for stepping up....

Nave Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I thought we played well tonight, but it was maddening how many times we missed the net on a grade A chance. Those crosschecks on Hoglander not being called is unforgiveable. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy criticism from you janis!!! ' I definitely sympathize with this. There are times where things have happened & I would've liked to see Bo show some more pushback. I did think earlier in the game he was giving it too the refs a bit - partly for getting in his way multiple times & partially for a few plays that could've been called. (I recall him visibly turning to the ref after interfering with his play a second time) If Hoglander was injured then definitely I would have wanted him to turn to Forbort immediately. But it didn't happen so we won't know.. (though from the past, I agree I've seen a less pushback than I'd like, which leads to reasonable doubt in this case) I don't know if I'd call him a lousy captain but I get where your coming from for sure. A lack of pushback is something we've seen continually throughout the years. This group is slightly better IMO but I'd still like to see more capable personnel added as the team grows.

"TWO MINUTES HOLDING....I DON'T KNOW, I'M HAMMERED" Yeah the officiating was very similar to what we would expect in the playoffs and tonight the Jets took advantage of how THIS officiating crew was managing the game. Your pictures says it all - smh... If it is the same crew, I hope they don't change it up to compensate for today's game...

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) We shouldn't have looked to Ferland. Seem to recall his name associated with IR a helluva' lot, before we even signed him. Can't act like it was some surprise. Gritty kid & brave..but we signed already damaged goods in that case. Not enough toughness for yrs now. Damn shame, but it's true. Missed watching the 1st p..but that was a lemon. Should've missed more.
