  1. Probably because Tanev played the last 2 days for the Moose, no?
  2. The only Jet forward with over 20 minutes tonight was Armia with 21:08.
  3. Good game. A real team shut out. This was a very important game because it leaves us three behind Calgary instead of 7.
  4. I don't find it boring at all. The Jets just won another second period... how many is that in a row now?
  5. Unis almost make Buff look slim! Staf hasn't looked out of place...... yet. Little saved a goal and Helle was very, very good.
  6. Mis-play by 44 but Helle bailed him out and 33 scores. Good passing by Stafford and Ehlers on the play.
  7. that penalty is called every time. His stick his him in the face.
  8. Well deserved...did he mention how long?
  9. So, did you pull those out of ur azz too? Where are you reading this?
  10. What exactly does a goalie coach do?
  11. Not trying to argue here at all but regarding the bolded parts. Did they cut that part out of the article because I have just read it twice again and cannot find what you are referencing? Not kidding...read it a third time now??? “I like our coaching staff top to bottom,” said Cheveldayoff. “Again, the results, those are the things everyone gets measured on. From a coaching staff, I'm happy they're a part of our group here. When (Maurice) came in, we talked about this and about all of the steps that were going to have to happen. We talked about (how) there were maybe going to be some tough decisions to make to maybe go young at some key positions, where a lot of coaches in this league would fight you in those situations and with some of those decisions and say they want the veteran guy, the 500-game guy because there is that confidence level in the body of work. “What we're trying to do is that we're trying to win the ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup. We've talked about the methodology that we were going to try (to use) to get to it. That involves taking some steps that are very difficult and you have to have faith in those steps are going to continue to build upon. Paul and I have a good relationship and good conversations in that regard.”
  12. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/01/08/goaltending-part-of-young-jets-growing-pains-cheveldayoff An interesting interview with Cheveldayoff....those of you that think Maurice is getting fired this season...not gonna happen...
  13. I read something and I will streamline for the sake of brevity. He had goaltending as the number one reason for the poor play this year closely followed by injuries and then special teams... Helle has a sv% of under the league average and well below the league average for starting goalies. What was more telling to him was the amount of quality starts. Helle is 36th in quality starts (pretty good backup) and that number is under 50%. He goes on to talk about the injuries the Jets have suffered with this year and I quote "the jets lost more man games and total cap hit of those players than just about any other team in the league. With a healthy roster the team has played more consistently and had better results on both the PK and PP since returning to near full health. Coincidence? I doubt it." He goes on to talk about the coaching... "As for the coaching. Keep in mind this team lost a 1C and was missing a top pairing defenseman for the first 25 games or so and was so banged up Blake mother!#*+#&$ Wheeler was playing center. I'm still more than happy to see what PoMo can do with this roster for the remainder of this season and the first half of next. And for everyone loosing their s#@! about Stafford moving up the lineup in the 3rd.... He was probably the best 4th liner that game and he had a goal earlier. If you promote one of Petan or Copp up the lineup when Drew was having a good game what kind of message does that send? Results and effort don't matter?" He also says he cannot understand that some fans want Maurice fired based on "some underlying assumption that PoMo has this incomprehensible love for veteran players. The coach that sent Pav to the Minors. That's letting Stuart rot in the pressbox. That played every single call up from the moose ahead of Thorburn in the lineup and quickly sent him back to box as soon as possible. That banished Stafford to the 4th line nearly immediately. Was part of the reason Burmi is gone. The guy that's giving an 18 year old first line minutes on a line with a 20 year old and a 23 year old....." I couldn't agree more but he says it better than I do...
  14. well I haven't heard that before. you should post that more often.
