Connor Hellebuyck was lights out with 35 saves and Gabriel Vilardi had a three-point night as the Winnipeg Jets topped the Vancouver Canucks 4-2.

If the Canucks want to make a big playoff run, their top players have to step up in these big games. Yeah, they could use another top-6 forward, but when Myers and Juulsen are your leading/only scorers and your stars are nowhere to be found, that's a problem.
I agree they need some more help if want to make a run this year.They need to step it up against better teams.They need to beat a team like Vegas or Colorado to show if they are a Stanley cup contender!!!!
The Jets rick bowness the guy is defense 1st hard team to play against
@@garywenzlaff6918You can’t even beat the Jets. And u are saying bring on Vegas and Avs 🤪😂
What a waste of a spectacular goal from Myers. But then Myers look completely lost on that 2 on 1 goal.
@@KyleJon To be fair, the Jets have been elite this year, I wouldn’t hesitate to put them in the top three teams in the league right now
Now that Conor, Vilardi and Sheifele are all in the lineup at the same time, and with Hellebuyck solid in goal,, the future looks brighter for the Jets. That's from the biggest Jet fan in Portugal.
Man this needs to be a playoff series...
This could turn out well
Yep.
Hope this will be a WCF in the play offs lets go jets ✈️✈️✈️🔥🔥
This is gonna be the West conf. final....buckle up ladies and gentlemen.....its gonna be a heater!!!
YESSIR
Man vilardi has been amazing, GO JETS GO
Go Jets Go! This was a real good game. Scheifele, Connor and Vilardi came up big. And gotta love Lowry for handling business.
Monahan with his first aswell GJG!!
Jets were on bigtime in this game, nice passing!!
Give me a playoff series of these two, please.
is it the playoffs already? what a game!
Great game! You gotta give it to those Jets though, they got a mean hustle and grit. This coming from on OIlers fan.
Lowry would give the beats to anyone who wants it! Same with Dillon! Jets know how to play as a team! Lets go, Jets!
I wonder how many people knew how good Lowry was going to turn out just a couple of years ago. He is immensely tough, hard working, smart, and occasionally shows that his skill level is pretty high, as well. I've been a fan of his energy from the start of his career. I hope Dakota Joshua can continue to play similar to Lowry for the Canucks. They'll both be great assets in the playoffs.
What's Mikheyev's shooting percentage? Honestly, with all of the great chances he gets/creates, he can't score.
Same issue he had in Toronto
Just looked it up, he is shooting 9.9%. It’s his worst year since 2020-2021 when his shooting was 5.8%.
He works hard but can't score.
Good luck with that contract
Yeah it seems to be at 0%
Beautiful goal by Myers 🎉
Canucks powerplay needs an overhaul.
They need to experiment more
The Jets is worse lol
They need to try a thing called “shooting the puck at the net”. I know it’s crazy but Fancy+Fancy+Fancy= 0 goals
Your nuts
“DEMKO’s better” lol 😂
Yeah he loses his net often, constantly drops his stick & is good for one softie per game.
This was just a great game played by both teams, can't wait for the rematch. Special teams was the difference tonight. The Canucks need to work on that PP it's costing us games now. Like what, 0-20 the past couple of games is just not acceptable. Hellebuyck showing us why he's so important to this Jets teams.
You can complain about the Jets number of PPs, but the Canucks had PPs too and were shut out. Seems like too often our best players are nowhere to be found in important games. Nuff said.
Too bad CBC/Sportsnet brain trust made no attempt to analyze the first head-to-head meeting of the two big trade acquisitions for the Canucks and Jets, especially as they were matched up against each other often during the game. After their first meeting, it is advantage Monahan and the Jets. Aside from the faceoff performance (Monahan won 4 of 6 faceoffs against Lindholm), and Monahan's penalty kill against Lindholm, check out which Canuck player failed to check Monahan on his goal.
Best in the west GoJetsGo!!
When are these guys going to learn not to challenge Lowry to a fight? Especially for a clean hit
I'm a Canucks fan but I'm also a fan of all hockey players not starting fights over clean hits.
The only thing that got hurt during that fight was lowrys hand. Punching helmets like the idiot he is.
@@jasonb6860 feat off the ice is charging and that was not a clean hit. period!
In real time it looked like he may have left his feet so I don't mind seeing a guy coming in and sticking up for a teammate. Remember, the play is fast and we have the benefit of instant replay.
Definitely the Canucks biggest problem is that they have trouble beating the top teams: Avalanche, Bruins, Jets.
No kidding!!!!
Yup, they're not ready to hang with the big boys yet.
They found out the hard way Colorado and bruins already learned (in bruins case paid very good attention) NEVER underestimate the jets they were top dogs for very good reason
Beating, maybe? Outplaying, no.
They have beat the Stars, Rangers and Panthers... Colorado and Winnipeg are below those teams.
Canucks fought well but their shortcomings got heavily exposed. The top lines absolutely sucked out there. The two goals came from unfancied defencemen in Myers and Juulsen. You know you were bad as a forward when your worst players in the team were the only ones who scored. Plus, Hellebuyck is a freak in goal. 35/37. That's a very impressive stat for him.
Hellebuyck 100% is Team USA's starter over Demko He's been this way for 6-7 years now
@@StressfulGengar I'm a massive Demmer fan, but it would be very tough for him to oust Hellebuyck as USA's starting goalie.
@@StressfulGengardemko couldn’t do nothing on the last two jets goals and demko is obviously better rn
A lot of top players like Pettersson and Boeser looked like crap out there. Demko also let in a bad pp goal. The first goal should of counted too. No one push Demko.
@@sucraf1You're blind he was definitely pushed in.
vezinabuyck!!!✈️💙
GG Jets ✈️
The Canucks outshot & outplayed the Jets for the majority of the game, but Connor Hellebuyck showed once again why he is the best goalie in the NHL this season as he completely shutdown the Canucks from scoring any goals in the 3rd period... On a different note, Boeser looks completely lost out on the ice over the past few games...Speaking of lost, what has happened to the Canucks Powerplay over the last 6 games? Head coach Rick might want to address that before Vancouver heads out on the next road trip...Overall, tonight's game was entertaining, & very much had a playoff vibe to it...
As a jets fan I can speak from experience.... it's the ebb & flows of an NHL season, really good competitive NHL teams needs drop off like what Van is experiencing..... it strengthens players tenacity, resilience and also shows what players lack!!! Good example is scheifele taking 2 big body checks to make scoring plays happen as Jets fight off our "drop off"..... GOJETSGO GOVANGO
What do you expect from boeser? 90% of his goals are scrap garbage goals. Nothing wrong with that but i don't expect boeser to be out here making plays.
Jets had the better chances, Canucks had better puck possession, but the shots were from the outside or bad angles. Great game though and was very entertaining
@deemid7017 I'm not the guys biggest cheerleader but he's definitely sniped some great stuff earlier in season. Yeah, he grinds in front of the net but all 'garbage goals' in a massive oversimplification.
@@AphelionBeach It was so amusing how the Vancouver faithful went from roaring their big mouths off to complete silence in a matter of three seconds. The Jets sure got the last laugh on THAT sequence!
Didnt see the game BUT where was Hoglander? Miller? Boeser? just completely nowhere?
Yeah, our snipers kinda vanish some days...
Tough night guy's, now on to the next game, go Canucks go.
NHLJets defensive play during pk blocking shots aligned from other players disrupt passing lanes, and predict opponents moves when they maintain puck goalie pads are flat puck less rebounds Maintaining alignment and vigilance is key to shutting down the opponent's offensive What I feed to the Jets
Rick Bowness is an awesome defensive coach. It was so hard to get a shot through. I don't know why more teams don't position a player behind the goal and really force the goalie to shift back and forth. It really works the defense corp and can quickly pull them out of position.
I wish I had watched this game :(
money MONAHAN DID HIS MAGIC AGAIN😂❤
One thing is for sure vancover does not want to play the jets in the playoffs
LOWRY
Gabriel Vilardi and the Winnipeg Jets win over Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 🏒🔵🔴⚪🇨🇦✈️ Winnipeg Jets improve to 33-14-5, while the Vancouver Canucks move to 37-13-6 (1st in Pacific)
I don’t get this team. Obviously hard working, but what’s with the top forwards disappearing for multiple games In a row? We all knew Brock would slip from top goal scorer as the year went on, but he’s cut his production by probably more than half of what it was. Quinn has been goofing up often too, bad passing every now and then and not shooting.
cause they are fake ? They are legit last year boston and people are too blind to see it. The lindstrom trade will end up as one of the worst trade in the history of the NHL lol. Nucks are going to get sweep comes the playoff, they wont have the cap to resign Pettey and because of that, their line will start having big problem, Lindstrom is not going to resign with them so they will still lack a 2C .. and next year they will be back to .500 hockey.. They went all in with a trade that was high risk. Trade likes that should be made by teams that have playoff tenure likes the Canes.. This is the nucks first awesome season and they just gambled it all away. Sad.
@@leagueidiot3052 I’m getting that impression too. When the top forwards are on fire I think they have a chance. But you can’t go deep in the playoffs with a team that doesn’t play 100% every game. Lindholm might take some time to fit, but it is looking like a brutal trade so far if this is all we’re getting.
buddy its one game they are still at the top of the league, keep hating tho@@leagueidiot3052
@@leagueidiot3052 How will that trade go down as one of the worst trades in the history of the NHL? They free up 5mill in cap space for next year so that they can resign key players. Lindstrom is cheaper then Kuzzy who still had a year left on his contract after this season. Kuzzy is 28 years old that still has massive holes in his game. If anything that was a very good trade even if Lindstrom doesnt resign we know have cap space to sign petty and Hronek. Go smoke some more crack
@@shawnreems493 So basically agree that you traded your first rounder away in order to 'gamble' the playoff abilities of the Nucks ? They arent proven in the playoff, we dont know how they react to slump. They just got rekt 10-7 against one of the worst team. Say what u want, but u arent resigning Petey, u have 5 mil free space but thats legit what hes going to want. Plus u have 4 defenceman to sign which they most likely are going to want salary increase
Let's hope the Vancouver Cannots won't play like this during the playoffs
I didn't watch the game , just the last 30 secs of the highlights . I can't decide who I want to go further in the playoffs yet . As long as it isn't the Oilers , I'll be kinda happy .
Now that's playoff hockey! (From a Canucks fan).
5:08 bruh thats some EA NHL24 bs right there LOL literally no chance to read something that quick 💀
That's my Jet, Markie! LOL! Notice how the Vancouver a-holes weren't celebrating that cheap hit for very long!
We may have a brand new heated rivalry. What a great game.
Overrated Canucks Lose
VanCity fans can see exactly what Dakota Joshua means to the Canucks...
Canucks D need to learn to play the man. Got caught in the middle every time off the rush.
How is Myers hit a penalty and not Lowry's? He even left his feet.
The top dogs (Petey, Hughes, JT, Boeser, Lindholm) needs to show up it matters or it won’t happen 🏆
It's been quite a while since Vancouver gave up so many odd man rushes.
Hellebuyck💪💪💪
If the hockey gods are true and just, this is a preview of the Western Conference final.
Close game. If the Canucks kept composure in the third and stopped chasing before they chased probably would have gone to ot. This was a fast game with lots of action... I was not happy with some calls. That is how it goes sometimes. Good game either way
The big choke!
A few defense mistakes. This time, Canucks were shooting, but not scoring. Some hits near the boards were in the category to injure
Canucks better find a top 4 D man before the deadline.
Teams look so dangerous on the power play vs Canucks. Weird to be so critical of the leagues top team.
This was a good game until the Canucks tried to physically run the Jets out of Rogers, and the Jets took advantage of stupid decisions. This one is on Tochett
That was my takeaway too. Juulsen went for the big hit but left a two on one - and there goes the game.
@@HeavenlyHouse If you want to go out and take the big hit. That's fine but, there has to be someone covering
That's the thing about the Jets that's given them success: They can both withstand and dish out physical punishment. Except for their recent slump, they've been doing it all season. The Jets are playoff built and they'll take the hit to make the play any day of the week.
Jets came to play hockey, the Canucks not so much.
The Canucks have serious issues with the basics of defensive play.
Really? I thought it was good to let in 10 against the Minnesota wild lol
I wish I have ticket to go there 😢
I like how Myers is so tall he automatically his people in the head
Demko needs a rest
I agree. He didn't seem on his game last night.
Sad ending to the game, I am strictly a Canucks fan
I watch the game on my TV in sun peaks
Lessgo jets
People need to realize that Winnipeg is a good team. Give them credit where credit is due. Canucks powerplay is complete trash!! Also Juulsen cost us the third goal being too aggressive with the hit.
Myers deciding to just lay on the ice*
Idk Juulsen had coverage on that big hit that let up the eventual game winner, idk who it was but they got piloned by kyle connor and thats what led to the goal lol not the hit that was the right play
@@FrazzledazzleeOther than leaving his feet, leading with his elbow and going after #55 head, it was a perfectly legal hit 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@KyleJonhahahahahah exactly, Schief is used to getting lit up though im glad he bounces back up for the most part
There were missed calls over the ice. I don't know what Miller was thinking when he checked Scheifele when he didn't have the puck. One thing that I have to bring up is players throwing their heads back when a players stick or elbow doesn't come near their face. The league has to stop hockey turning into soccer. My suggestion is that for every penalty that is called on the ice where a player has obviously faked contact from an opponent to draw a penalty, such as the "elbow" on Pionk from Hooglander tonight, should get a 1 game suspension. This would have to be done after the game and the league could alert the team that the player has been found to have been faking the contact. Next transgression should be a 2 game suspension. Too many close games are being decided on the powerplay (not this one) where, when the replay is shown, you can clearly see that a stick or elbow hasn't even contacted the player. The league has to get a handle on this! (BTW, I looked at the replay of that "penalty" about a dozen times and he doesn't even get close to his face.)
I agree with you, but sometimes that reaction kicks in, like when someone is about to hit you in the balls, you react instinctively and brace yourself for the pain, players will only argue that that's what they did, reacting instinctively.
Do you trust the refs/nhl to be able to tell when it's instinct to move your head out of the way or when a player is faking it? I sure don't.
@@karlkarlsson9126 Fair enough. It is often a huge overreaction, though, in order to make it obvious to the refs that the stick or elbow came up.
@@Jungfrun1 Yeah. I know what you mean. I meant that these types of calls would be investigated after the game.
@@BarryFence i still don't trust them.
I actually looked it up in the NHL rulebook, and it says in there, quote; The Vancouver Canucks must NEVER defeat the Winnipeg Jets during the regular season. That's the way it is. Sorry. End quote.
Ah cool. I thought I was the only person with the "official" rule book. Does your copy also have the rule stating; The Toronto Maple Leafs must publish Stanley Cup parade plans after every successful shot on net?
I hate the Leafs too Robert, but think about this. In last night's blowout win over the Ducks, the Laffs had count'em 5 starting d-men projected at the start of the season, out of their lineup. @@Robert-Peterson
@@randypattie9524 Yeah sure...point taken. But...they were playing the Ducks. That's an accomplishment on the same low-level bar as punching a baby.
Canucks have zero top end talent appearing in games right now. The top 6 is doing jack squat. The power play is abysmal. The Jets was the litmus test. They failed. They look to be a one & done team. Petey looks like he doesn’t even want the puck & he’s a turnover machine. He is a nightmare on the point on the PP. Boeser is in the witness protection program. He’ll be lucky to get to 35 goals. He has no shot nor does he shoot. Miller tries to do it all. Hughes has dried up offensively as well. Better that this poor play happens now. They’ve got to work out the kinks on the PP for the playoffs. As it is now, it would be better if they decline it. The Jets are legit. They’ve got superior goaltending & forwards. They could make a run. Canucks are about two quality top six forwards away. The team is fading down the stretch, especially on special teams. It’s one of the worst powerplays I’ve ever seen.
Hughes has 12 points in his last 11 games
@@MrStephenBradsyeah but the overall play is not his best
What’s this team without buck?
Our backup has a higher save %. Buck wasn’t even one of the 3 stars tonight
The Refs were absolute trash in this game boarding call on hoglander and elbowing from myers as well were such BS calls and the hold on garlund after he rocks the guy to the ice and guy just grabs his leg and doesn't let go
YOU are crying about the reffing????? How about the light tap from behind and #40 goes down like a sack of potatoes. Ok. So that’s the standard right ? Wrong. Schmidt gets drilled into the boards from behind. No call. Schmidt gets tripped by a goalie in the white ice. Supposedly, this is the goalies crease now. The best was the elbow to #55 chin. Diving. Lol Yea right. Then you have the head hunting hit on 55 that set the game winner up. The refs were rigging the game so Vancouver wouldn’t burn the city down again. Shameful

To be honest, what really didn't go our way was our forwards being toothless up front and our complete inability to score on the last 19x powerplays. That's a bad stat they need to address quickly.

Scrums, bad officiating calls aside...I'm concerned about the Canucks top six. Especially the special teams. PP1 unit is looking stale and with a 0/17 or 18 in the last seven games should alarm the coaching staff and need to try something new.

If that first hit for a jets pp is a pp then the hit before rhe fight should be a pp.

Not that hard to do when the Canucks powerplay is trash.
Didn't realize that the Canucks have a goal song with as much 80s cringe value as the old Leafs' number.
It reminds me of when Homer fought that Mike Tyson guy Tanner Tatum. TT comes out to this aggressive song about beating the crap out of people. Homer comes out to @Why can’t we be friends “ 😎😎😋

how does Lowery, who comes flying across the ice with BOTH elbow up directly hitting the head into the boards, warrant a game misconduct for Giuseppe for retaliation while Lowery receives just a fighting Major. can anyone please explain to me why this was the outcome on this play?
Giuseppe wasn't involve in the hit, then came flying with punches at Lowry (he still had his stick, gloves, etc) and threw the first punch. That is instigating and is an automatic game misconduct now.
Twas a clean hit. Guissepi instigated and got his ass beat.
Solid clean hit not at all leading with the elbows, and obvious instigator call.
Giuseppe must not have realized who he was trying to jump until it was too late lol. Lowry beat him like a drum
