Obviously Brooks doesn't watch many Jets games. Trouba was a first pairing D here for 3 seasons, basically the entire time after the hold out. Personally I'd prefer Trouba to Hayes, that's not even close. Trouba is a consistent top pairing quality D, Hayes has one great game and four mediocre ones. The ability is there but he doesn't bring it every night.

Coverages were the same. Loffler was blitzed more by Hall because he couldn't cover, same with Hecht. Hall runs a lot of match coverages where it's essentially cover 0 and each guy in coverage is covering certain routes and depths. The safeties have man coverage responsibilities as a result and Loffler was terrible at this especially on the post/corners. The drop off from Loffler to Hecht was not that steep, they both aren't every down players at safety, both have a nose for the ball and can make a few big plays, both get torched when isolated and don't offer much in Cover 2. Most often Hall would run Cover 2 looks with the HB's/SAM dropping off, even Bighill. If Loffler's body could hold up he'd probably slide into a WIL role pretty good as a Canadian. He wouldn't be as good as most Americans in the spot because his tackling is a bit suspect too, but he'd be better than a warm body.

The Jets top 9 compares to anyone in the league. Very frustrating that this coaching staff cannot put together a PP and get the buy-in necessary from a guy like Wheeler to roll out their best and just let them dominate with movement, both puck and players. To me this is a noticeable difference between a good coach and a mediocre one. See what Tippett does with the Oilers. That is a team lacking depth but they are right in the thick of things due to special teams. The Jets are likely to fall off a cliff if Hellebucyk has a couple bad weeks because their special teams are so inconsistent and even with Hellebucyk around .930 we have the second worst PK in the league. Jets get their PP up 8-10% that's enough goals that they'd probably have another 5-6 wins on the season, the difference between being a 90 point team and a 100 point team, and probably a playoff spot.

That's the big difference. Carolina has 5 guys who can move the puck consistently. The Jets have 2.

3rd Canes goal comes about 4 seconds after Staal trips Lowry as he's headed up the wall with the puck. Too bad the NHL doesn't allow challenges for blatant missed penalty calls like that which lead to goals.

The Schiefele line is a mess without the puck. Schiefele chasing a guy around the zone, Laine doesn't come below the top of the circle and Carolina keeps getting chances right in front of the Jets net. I'm not a huge fan of Connor and Laine playing on the same line. They are both prone to pretty horrific decisions at their own blueline and bad decisions when the Jets don't have the puck. I'd probably swap Ehlers and Connor.

BC has spent plenty of $$$ on OL. They just keeping choosing the wrong guys and struggle to develop their young guys.

Another rental trade where it's one team handing over $20 for a bunch of scratch and wins. If you get really lucky they might add up to something a bit better, but you had to spend that $20 anyway. Good rental for the Coyotes, at least get a bit more than half the season and maybe get him to re-sign if he/they want him. NJ retaining half the $/cap hit also gives them some room to add more at the deadline although their next two firsts are tied up in the deal. Also think it's a good deal for New Jersey. They are in the middle of a rebuild and Hall likely won't be worth the term and dollars of his next deal. He's pretty inconsistent. The Jets spent more for 63 games including playoffs of Stastny and Hayes.

Would not be surprised in the least to see BLM in Toronto. He's been inconsistent and injury-prone/compromised the past couple seasons. He's also a name that casual fans would recognize and that's always part of the push in Toronto. Think it will come down to how Dickenson and Huf feel about Arbuckle.

Time to switch up the PP again and get Wheeler playing the down low/net front spot. Getting stagnant again, puck stopping on that half wall with Wheeler and he's turning it over way too much.

Farhan forgot about Joe Mack. I don't understand why they would hire more than a caretaker without ownership being settled.

Pionk having a terrible night. Has good position but needs to turn his skates and put his rear into his check so he stops directing pucks into our net.

The Jets thought they just had to step on the ice to win this one. Horrendous effort and stupid penalty by the captain.

What the Argos did with Chamblin is just about the dirtiest thing I've ever seen being done to a coach in the CFL. They interviewed for his replacement without firing him and every other opening closed by the time they fired him. Chamblin wouldn't have necessarily been a candidate but who knows. He's certainly had more success as a head coach than others who were hired.

The QB's who we dressed in the 07 Grey Cup...starter is head coach in Toronto, backup is head coach of Arizona Cardinals and 3rd string is head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

There's the rub though. What is attractive about Lapo is his OC work. That's what anyone hiring him as head coach is buying. Can he build and lead a team (including the coaching staff)? Sure was terrible at it the last time he got a shot.

Well he's an offensive coach, when you hire him that's what you get. Pet peeve of mine in the wire story on this, "bench boss" as a term for a football coach. That's a hockey term ugh.

A big splash for a guy who isn't going to dress until Labour Day.

Ottawa is going to take an insane run at Collaros, like a $600,000 run.

The worst thing he did was trying to make Bryan Bennett into Streveler the week of the West Final, but I'm sure that Dickenson was in on that too. Tried to swing with the big boys and learned the hard way Streveler has the biggest wrench.

Let's hope Mason Bennett gets just enough NFL interest to drop to us. Heard he absolutely tore it up for UND in the FCS playoff game last weekend, 2 sacks and 2 TFL's. UND still lost.

Is it come dressed as an empty seat night?

It's a matter of respect. The psychological warfare stuff is well past it's time, like sitting out Chelios for an outdoor game in Chicago, benching Modano at 1499 career games played, berating injured players who are playing. That's all personal garbage and small man syndrome stuff. People with Babcock's personality don't have the leadership skills to manage the produce department at a Safeway. Wonder how many cups those 00's Detroit teams win with an actual leader.

McAdoo is the likely hire for Edmonton head coach or Ottawa OC if they hire Benevides,
