I’d bring Gus up and sit Namestnikov. He has been brutal. When was the last time he got a damn point? Isn’t he still at 8? And playing on the 2nd line for most of the season?? How is that acceptable? I know Gus isn’t an offensive force, but he’s leading the Moose in points ( not overly impressive, I know), he’s defensively sound and has usually been solid in face offs. I’d also be fine with Yager or Chibrikov being called up…. Zhilkin just seems like a lateral move at best.

That seems like a bit of an odd call up. He’s improved, but it’s not like he’s putting up great numbers. Not sure how he is at face offs. Gustafsson would make more sense to me, but maybe he would have to clear waivers, if he was sent back down? Salomonsson would make sense with Fleury hurt.

To be fair, the Jets are a big reason why Vegas is off their game. Stone interfered with Schenn off the draw, then ends up scoring. I wish officials would pay more attention to that type of interference…. It happens a lot and it’s rarely called.

Yes, it was pretty obvious that he wouldn’t be back tonight.

That was ugly. Good that he was conscious and moving. Hopefully he’s okay.

Perfect example of one of the reasons this team struggles. Possess the puck in our zone, cough it up and take a penalty 16 seconds into the game.

I wasn’t able to watch the entire game…. What did he do to Tkachuk?

I’m actually proud of myself…. I managed not to completely lose my mind. And if there was a game for that to happen, last night was it.

Weak call on Pionk and of course it ends up in our net on the PP…. And of course it’s in the last couple seconds of the period. I feel like there’s going to be a hole in my wall if they don’t hang on and get the W tonight.

Schenn is playing too much. Playing him in back to back games seems like a bad idea. Namestnikov back at 2C because they haven’t tried that yet…. Oh wait, he’s been there most of the season and has 8 points. Ugh. Can we somehow pull out a win tonight? Losing to the Leafs is a special kind of infuriating.

I don’t think those contracts would be considered ‘big’ the way numbers are now trending.

Well, it’s been a half season of poor results and falling in the standings…. It’s not like they’re 2 years deep or something. But that has to be a concern, among other concerns of a team trying to gain some kind of traction.

Getting a decent 2nd line? But the Jets likely won’t be buyers at this point. I’ve said it before, but I’d give Barron a shot at center on the 2nd line…. With Perfetti and Iafallo or Vilardi, if they want to mess with the 1st again.

Sure, he fanned and it caused a turnover, but we put the puck in our own net. I don’t think you can lay all the blame on DeMelo. He wouldn’t even make my top 10 of the Jets problems.

We pass up too many shooting opportunities. Not good enough to be looking for the perfect tic tac toe goals.

Stanley has been much improved this season, but that was a definite brain fart, followed by some bad luck. The Jets have played better than the score indicates. They’ve been the better team, for sure.

Nyquist must be getting punked tonight.

Jets looking better so far in this game.

Never mind.

Nyquist!!!! Where the hell has that been?

Namestnikov is the 2nd line center no matter what, I guess. Apparently 8 points is adequate for that position.

What did the team go through?

Yeah, the Jets have issues, for sure, but DeMelo isn’t one of them. And the penalty he got with just under 3 minutes left in the 3rd was complete BS.

I know I’m harping on this too much, but I just don’t understand continually putting Namestnikov at 2nd line center. He’s not good at face offs and not putting up points. If he was at least doing one of those things, you could overlook the other…. But he’s not.

This would be the best news of the offseason. The D line could be so much better with him gone.
