    Nice article on Jets nation...  could be a real nice signing in the off-season - love to see him here, huge upgrade over Enstrom

    Ducky got a reaction from Atomic in Our Goalies   
    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...

    Not really. Only Matthews and Laine were.  Puljujarvi did make the Oilers. Dubois sent back to Jr.

    Coaches the goalies.  Basically that's the best way to explain it. I know it sounds ridiculous but... yup. 
    I guess you can say in practice he works with them on positioning... on rebound control.  They have iPads and watch video of the upcoming team focusing on players tendencies and who likes to shoot and where and pretty much.... name it. 
    As a former goalie I've been to many sweat camps and goalie camps and all that and outside of the iPad... everything I did there Flaherty does with helle and Hutch. 
    They don't need to go far to find a goalie coach... moose have a good one in Rick st Croix 
     
    Washington has a very good goalie coach who came over with trotz from Nashville.  Go check out hotby pre trotz and now. 
    Devan Dubnyk is another example. Really praised Sean Burke who is available actually right now but apparently wants to be more than just goalie coach.  The right goalie coach will turn an average goalie in to a very good one... the wrong goalie coach can turn a good goalie in to a not so good one

    Tanev sits and Thorburn 'anchors' the 4th line.  If you get my meaning.  It's not too subtle.

    WE took the game to them for over 45 minutes and didn't finish on a LOT of chances AGAIN.
    This game should have been out of reach by the third.
    Trouba didn't have a strong game.
    Armia needs to take Laine's place and move Staf up to the 2nd line and call Tanev back up.
