Hughson doesn't mention Jets played the night before in Detroit until the final two minutes of the game. If Toronto had be coming off a game the night before they would have mentioned it 7,367 times during the game including the pre game. Laine looks 1 step behind right now and we all know he is very hard on himself. This is where Wheeler is extremely important for him to help on the mental side. For the first two and half periods we looked really good. Still early in the season to put that all together.

Actually I was not impressed with MP tonight. Lost ALOT of puck battles.

Trouba plays well when he plays with an edge. When Khadri hit him from behind his play elevated. Someone needs to p*ss him off right before each game. Just saw his first period intermission interview where he says they are playing in a filthy game. Here's hoping more filthy games for him.

Dinged up apparently.

I personally don't think he's trash. I think he's very inconsistent which has to be very frustrating for Hamilton.

Nope let's ensure TSN has a heading tomorrow 'Cancel the parade'

I'm starting to warm to our new back up goaltender

You're not going to get much sympathy on this board. We've been jobbed many of times before as well. It's just evening itself out now.

And at the start of the game MOS throwing out the f bomb every second word. Cuthburt and Suitor seemed stunned.You could tell he was zoned in for the game. I think they turned his Mike down after that

For the most part I can handle the fans, it's more certain media supporters that are very hard to stomach. One of the first headings I see after this game was something to the effect of how the Leafs have now proven they are Stanley Cup Contenders. Whether that's a backhanded compliment to our Jets because the Leafs beat another Stanley Cup contender in ourselves and/or whether in fact they are legitimately a cup contender, it's how they report on the Leafs that makes me frustrated and want them to go 0-82. To check my hypocrisies, I'm sure some Winnipeg Jet Media supporters do the same thing but doesn't make it anymore bearable considering they receive more national attention then the Jets.

Knowing it's not answering your question but If Nichols wasn't available for what ever reason I'd take Masoli. Watching him for sometime now he's grown on me.

Beauty pass by Connor on Trouba's OT winner.

Raanta didn't play for the Rangers last season. He played for Coyotes.

Yup not in our DNA regardless of situation.

Too many people gave up on Lulay way too premature. Yes he has health issues but I've always respected his play. His football IQ is extremely high, too bad it was never used in a Blue and Gold uniform.

I had this thought that it would be interesting to put two scores side by side after each game played. The actual score and the score if each team were successful on all their registered scoring chances.

Why would you assume that?

Unlike what's going on here :), this specific game was rare in there were no real skirmishes or big hits to be seen other than Ferland briefly pushing a jet from behind and a Morrisey hip check along the boards. Other than that a very clean game with little violence. Just a random observation of no value other than the game can be entertaining with only speed and skill.

Ehlers just needed to lift the puck. Their spacing was fine based on how that play developed. Laine could have shot as well. As for how Maurice rolls his lines, it comes down to what he and his coaching staff sees during the game that dictates playing time. You seem to think he's not doing some things he should be in how he needs to roll his lines. I'm not as worried as you are.

Actually imo it was well played but unfortunately Ehlers didn't lift it and Mzarek made a nice stop. Why do you have such a hard time with Maurice rolling four lines? The game dictates if you can and it seems Maurice flexes line time when he needs to, not perfectly, but like a professional head coach.

Trouba looked like one hot mess last night.

A bit surprised they are starting Brossoit against a hot team. On the other hand smart move to see if he has the goods.

I would have preferred if you would have asked him nicely. 🙂

Friendly reminder to our man MN. Do not, under any circumstances, throw any type of pass, underhand, flic etc to Jefferson's side, especially under duress. Set him up to lose his contain so all he sees is the back of our guy running into the endzone. Go Blue.

I'm not necessarily defending Lapo but name an offensive coordinator who didn't/doesn't have talented players and few stars but still managed/manages a high level of success?
