Ok let's go get some value for Trouba now.  Chycrun and Dvorak come on down!

A million thanks for posting this.....I hate Kesler.
Notice Domi is skating towards him and Kesler is skating back...Kesler starts taking the gloves off first...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Sit Melchiori, Chiarot and Thorburn.

Tanev for president

feet or meters?
you are happy with 3.27 GAA, I'm not...

Young guys starting to carry this team sure they will make mistakes but i would rather them be playing then veterans who aren't doing much.

Ehlers empty net 5-3

Meanwhile in Winnipeg, we have goaltending depth that most GMs are envious of.
 
Shutting out Vancouver? They are worst team in the NHL.

Time to open a Stella and enjoy the game.

Stafford WAS put on IR retroactive to October 25th. I believe unless Mathias Is on there now... only Stafford and Little are on IR. I'm going to assume Mathias Is also on IR. He almost has to be 
So here's your roster 
1. Helle 2. Hutch 
3. Buff 4. Toby 5. JoMo 6. Chia 7.Postma 8. Melchiori  9. Stu and 10. Myers. 
11. Scheif 12. Lowry 13. Perreault 14. Copp 
15. Ehlers 16. Laine 17. Connor 18. Burmi 
19. Wheeler 20. Armia 21. Tanev 22. Dano 
23. Thorburn  (healthy scratch) 
 
There's your 23 man roster.  
1 extra forward (Thor ) 
2 extra D ( Stu Myers) 
 
 

Happened in Colorado what ever it was.

Kool it was guesses.
Lowry line would be 2nd if you ask me.
the only change I would make is call up Roslo and sit Burmi.
slight change...
ESW
Laine Lowry Armia
Connor MP Dano
Tanev Copp Roslo

He's not alone Kane, Myers too.

Alzner is a guy I'd take on any one of my teams. A steady, if unspectacular, player making about half of what he should be...

Approaching 34 and if his play hasn't dropped off too much I would offer him a two year deal...something like 2.9 m per year.

So Copp and Dano finally get a shot on the 4th line.  The strange thing is Tanev has moved up to the 2nd line and Laine will drop to the 3rd with Lowry and Armia.

I'm saying I don't think it changed direction.
What we need is for our goaltenders to get better. And they'll get better with experience.

I'm not pinning the loss on Helle but goaltending is again one of the reasons we are not doing well again this year.

Why was Thorbs dress to play 4:35 seconds?
Saw the first goal....wow, Helle has to stop that, this is the NHL. We need better goaltending.
With Matthias down, they had better call up Copp and play him and Dano.

Why call up Dano if he isn't going to play?

If I am not mistaken, Morrissey has quarterbacked a PP quite a bit in other levels of hockey. I'd much sooner see  him on there than Myers.

Snips:
There's no doubt in my mind the Jets have made it known to Trouba that the welcome mat remains out. They don't call it Friendly Manitoba for nothing, you know. And as my TSN colleague Darren Dreger speculated last week, it could friendly to the tune of a six-year, $5.5 million per year contract offer from the Jets if Trouba wishes to put aside whatever feelings are driving his trade request. That would be more than either Hampus Lindholm or Rasmus Ristolainen got from Anaheim and Buffalo, respectively; more than Toronto gave Morgan Reilly or Columbus gave Seth Jones.
If I'm Trouba, or any player who's been on the sidelines for three weeks, I would be thinking about a lot of things, not the least of which include:
- On a $5.5 million salary, each day missed is approximately a $30,000 hit, or about $600,000 to date.
As I suggested on the TSN Hockey Bobcast on Friday — shameless plug to listen to my podcast on this no-game day in the NHL and you can do so here — it's Trouba time, and the talented young defenceman really only has two choices.
One, he doubles down on what he started. Reinforce to one and all that he's fully committed to not playing in Winnipeg, that his reasons for wanting out are valid and dear to him, and then hope like hell the Jets hit the skids over the next four weeks so the Dec. 1 deadline poses at least as much threat to the club as the player.
Or, two, recognize the deck is mostly stacked against a 22-year-old RFA coming out of entry-level, that potentially losing a full season hockey to back his demands isn't worth whatever principles spurred the trade request in the first place and negotiating a favourably structured contract so that missing the first few weeks of this season results in a minimum loss of wages (as Lindholm did with the Ducks with a $3 million salary in the first year) and get the Jets to pick you up on Friday when they're in Detroit.
It's entirely Trouba's call, but I do believe as October gives way to November, we'll soon find out whether it's ending or it escalating.

And the True North UofM International School of Medecine is announced Nov 26th

This game also convinces me even more that Stafford is not needed on this team. Not at all. Where would we line up Stafford?

4 on 2, wtg Burmi.
Trade ya Mackinnon
Morrissey in da box.
Sure would be nice to have someone win faceoffs at greater then 60%.
Great job Stu.

Hutch see's Helle's GAA go down and says I can do better #Clutch
