Welcome back to Instant Reaction, the series here at CanucksArmy where we give you our instant reaction to tonight’s Vancouver Canucks game and ask our readers to do the same in the comments section below!
The Canucks started this game with a couple big giveaways early on. The first came from JT Miller, and the second (and far more egregious one) came from Kevin Lankinen. The Jets managed to capitalize and make it 1-0 early. 
Note that Kyle Connor scored this goal.
The Canucks had a chance to tie things up shortly after as Dylan Samberg was called for slashing Jonathan Lekkerimäki’s stick out of his hands.
Lekkerimäki got a chance with the first unit as JT Miller was taken off the first unit power play. Kevin Lankinen faced the best chance of the two minutes, as Brock Boeser made a bad pass to Quinn Hughes that allowed Adam Lowry to move in on a breakaway.
The Canucks didn’t capitalize, which left the door open for noted Canuck killer Kyle Connor to make it 2-0.
Seconds later, Connor got behind JT Miller in the neutral zone, and because Miller didn’t pick him up, Connor moved in on a breakaway to complete the hat-trick.
3-0 Jets. 
Connor had three goals in this game before the Canucks even had three shots on goal.
One goal against each of the Canucks’ three defence pairings. In other words, things were bleak after 20 minutes.
Surely the Canucks would come out firing in the second period in an attempt to finish this road trip on a high note, right? Wrong.
Instead, Neal Pionk scored 39 seconds into the second period.
4-0 Jets. 
I wish I could write more rather than just make this a log of the Jets’ goals tonight. But honestly, the time that happened between that was just broken play after broken play, and the Canucks not being able to keep up with a Jets team that isn’t particularly known as speedsters.
Pius Suter almost created a chance, but the Canucks didn’t actually get a shot on goal. Nils Höglander had a good look, but double-clutched and tried to force a pass.
I regret to inform you that the next event to report is another Jets goal.
5-0 Jets. Hey, at least this one didn’t come form Kyle Connor!
5 goals on 21 shots. I count four of them as ones Kevin Lankinen would want back. He made a key save on the Adam Lowry breakaway, so he deserves some flowers there, but no team is going to beat Hellebuyck and the Jets when their goaltender lets in five.
The third period got started with a Tyler Myers penalty, followed by the Jets wasting little time before extending their lead to six.
6-0 Jets.
Nils Höglander scored in the third to break up Connor Hellebuyck’s shutout, and the Canucks’ social media admin was STOKED about it.
And so was our admin.
Hey, nice to see Höglander end his goal drought, right?
Right?
Instead of telling me your thoughts to this one in the comments section below, I ask you this: what now? Where does the team go from here? Do they ride it out? Trade a core piece? Go out and add to the team? Fire the coach? I’m not going to pretend I know the answer, but I’m curious what fans are thinking after this one.
