Maybe Stanley and his agent made it clear they weren’t going to resign? Pretty sure there was talk about him requesting at trade a while back. But regardless, he’s gone. He was having a good season, and his confidence has clearly grown, but there were still many defensive gaffes, so who knows where his development might go…. I personally think he’s likely pretty damn close to his ceiling.

Who’s this Amy More you want them to sign?

Sweet goal to end the 2nd.

I can’t understand why we would play the worst line to start the 2nd.

Pretty classic game for the Jets this season… and why they’re on the outside looking in. But without 2 of their top D men, it certainly wasn’t a bad showing against a good team. I was at the game and it was pretty hilarious how ignorant that fan base is. Not shocking, but still…. I’ve never heard so many ‘refs you suck’ chants. After some really obvious calls/non calls. They really have no idea what the rules are. And the constant ‘USA’ chants were pretty damn annoying too.

Was just about to post this. Totally agree. I don’t ever want to see him take a defensive snap.

I was only able to watch bits of the Canada game today, but apparently Morrissey got hurt. Don’t know the severity, but sounds like it was a knee.

That’s what I thought too, but the replays they showed were pretty poor, so it was hard to tell anything. He was definitely pissed off.

That was a very good team against a very sloppy team. It was easy to see the difference. One of the biggest examples was time and space. Tampa gave us none and we gave them pretty much all they wanted. How they defend their zone is such a huge contrast to how we defend ours. Tampa stands up at the blue line, and the Jets retreat and allow easy entry. And compare the 6 on 5 Tampa had on the delayed penalty, to the 6 on 5 the Jets had with the empty net…. Night and day. Tampa was all over us, not giving us a chance to set up. The Jets? Shrink around the net and allow uncontested passes that eventually reach the slot for a goal, before the penalty can even be assessed. The talent level, and X’s and O’s, are one thing, but the lack of urgency and aggression is also really deflating.

My contribution in that regard could pay for the stadium to be domed.

Better looking 2nd period, so far.

Nice first goal. But man, this team is so sloppy. Weak passes exiting the zone, no urgency to get to the puck. Can’t win like that. The 3rd line needs new blood. Lowry is fine, but Namestnikov needs to sit down and Nino is slumping too often.

Well, at least we know the team’s main issues are being addressed.

Hellebuyck is the least of our concerns. Our defending is porous and we can’t score with any level of consistency. We also had some crap bounces last night, but the Wings were just flat out better.

Of course the Wings get the first PP, after the refs ignored multiple infractions against the Jets.

That’s a big haul for Andersson.

Jets are waaaaay too content to just clear their zone right now. They don’t defend well enough for that strategy. 🤞🏻

The refs…. Come on. That hooking call on Stanley is totally ridiculous. Us being up by 5 shouldn’t dictate the calls you make.

This game is nuts. After being outshot 10-0 early, the Jets have been filling the net and have the Wild ‘faithful’ booing their team. If we can manage to score 3 goals a period, we might have a chance to make a run.

Yeah, I figured Gus would need to clear waivers, which means he’s kinda stuck. Zhilkin has looked decent. Hasn’t been good in the face offs from what I’ve noticed. Guys are definitely going to have an extra spring in their step when they get called up. It’s just human nature.

I’m glad Salomonsson is getting another opportunity, but it’s obviously not great that it’s because our D depth is thin.

Good win. Not pretty, but a good hard working win with some more depth scoring.

Not so fast. Awarding a penalty shot for that is absolutely embarrassing. NHL officiating is just terrible.

Super weak call on JMo, then they ignore Toews getting dumped in front of the net. It’s infuriating what these guys call/don’t call.

Is O’Shea ever in a rush when hiring coaches?
