FrostyWinnipeg

Post your comments, ratings, reports, rants, etc about the first half of the season. My thoughts to follow. No hate me - these are just my opinion. In a nutshell we are where we are due to -Pav's injury -penalties(and or penalty-killing) -too many rookies The Bad GM - Since the draft he re-signed Stafford, signed Matt Fraser and that's it. Possibly has done the least among all GM's. Not a single waiver wire pickup. I think he has been replaced by a clone. Letting UFA Frolik go for nothing hurt but maybe not as much as letting fireplug Stempniak leave. Lowry - Biggest disappointment this year for me. Thought he would challenge for 2nd line role. Being sent to the minors has saved the season for him but i'm rating him for the first half. Hutch - I told Hutch I'd put him in the Okay category if he could stop me from posting. Ladd- Like Lowry he's improved his game a lot in just the last couple of weeks. There's no doubt in my mind he entered the season recovering from surgery. This is a tough one to call. Bad or Okay? I'm putting him in bad for now. Could easily see him rising to good by end of season. Should have signed that contract when he was injured. Chairot - There are times you just want him to sit and there are times you want him sent to the minors for a stint like Lowry. The Okay Ehlers - Was expecting him to be our Johnny Denmark. Best I can say about Ehlers is that he might need time like Scheif to age. Scheif added weight to his body though. Coach Maurice - Tough to rate coaches. I don't like Maurice pulling the goalie quickly and I don't like em pulling the goalie when we're down 2 goals. Wish he'd leave the first 2 lines alone. Byfuglien - By his own words is having an 'okay' season. Not bad, not good. 7 year/8 million a year good though? Where art thou Angry Buff? Stuart - Started season like old Stu hitting everything but he's slacked off a bit lately. Teacher's pet. Trouba - Was playing worse then last year which was worse then the year before. Has picked up game lately. Was almost traded for Hamonic...in my mind. Pavelec - Been such a long time I almost forgot how he played. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Hellebuyck - Here comes the hate. I know he's our Connor McJesus but i see a goalie who is slow to respond to where the puck is. Clearly will be the most controversial placement in my list. The Good Burmistrov - Not does score much but very good with the hands. Should be on 4th line though but 3rd line being what is. I'm one of the few who like his play. Little - Does what he does, does it well with not much spotlight. Scheif - Come a long way baby. Stafford - Like Little, Ladd, Perreault he's a streak scorer. Gets some easy/weird goals though. Thorburn - Having better season then last year. Actually been in some fights. Like Burmi should be on 4th line but...well...3rd line. Myers - See Little but with spotlight. Needs some Hulk emotions to go with the size. The Great Perreault - Yet to get into the goal scoring streak he got into last year but one of the few Jets who completes his hits and he's undersized! Wheeler - The best player + microphone drop. Enstrom - My most hated dman is among the best the Jets have. Comeback of the year. Not Rated Armia, Copp, Peluso, Pardy, Postma. Just nothing there to review. Pardy, Postma especially. Why are they here when the Moose are 50 feet away? The Now This team was bad for the longest time but have picked things up lately still not playing as good as last year. The Future 9 of the next 10 are at home including a much needed all-star break. The season may not end after 82 games. It may end after 51. WTF? Going into season I thought we would have 6 players scoring 20 or more goals. Still could do that and yet we could miss the playoffs.

True dat. Our D need to take shots when the lane is clear as well. I dunno, if Chairot does have the hardest shot as a D-Man should he not be on the PP? Funny but true. 5/10 road trip points. Good enuf?

Did i read todays paper right? Buff's family still in MSP?

Should have ran this all day long on Xmas.

#NHLJets F Nikolaj Ehlers fined $2k for diving embellishment. Players are first issued a warning, then fine scale begins with $2k Good on NHL. This the big leagues.

#Habs have traded G Dustin Tokarski to #Ducks for Max Friberg.

Pat Harrington Jr. - no doubt best known as the super from One Day at a Time but was also one of the younger folks from the golden age of TV. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/pat-harrington-jr-dies-schneider-162754895.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Harrington,_Jr.

They should have gone with a 5/5, 4/4, 3/3 thing. Change it up every period. The $1m prize is a joke. Maybe the winner should get 4/7 games in the Cup final. That makes it worth something. Too many damn players. 44?!?!

Sweet posts Ducky.

Does he have to be here?

I remember(flashback machine set to 1980s) where the other teams player would step on ice if named a star. They still do that?

I thought there were multiple 3 star picks now. Don't the Jets get all 3 at home if they win?

Buff not want to go either.

The story so far... -Season is half over -Helle freezes over -Stafford on a roll -Pardy/Postma STILL on the team -Beyak back

The most important game of the year is a win for our team. Anyone else think that Schief tipped Chairot's shot and then it was tipped by the Pred.

Stafford's on a streak again.

St. Louis got to build new stadium already?

Frolik!

After the Anaheim game do ya blame them?

Story so far... -Jets lost 7-0 last time they were in Nashville -Game time 7PM -Scribes calling it most important game of the year...so far -Helle to start -Beyak still missing

Well it's been 20 years but the reason they both left was due to lack of stadium quality. I'm not familiar with any new stadium in the area. Is there one?
