Goalie

And the Jets aren't gonna trade Lemieux. Petan maybe but Lemieux isn't gonna be dealt.

Helle was very good. Made lots of difficult saves look easy. Hutch goes tomorrow tho per Maurice. Not sure I agree with that decision. But... if the team plays like they did tonight... they should win. This team is decent.. they need some time to gel and for the kids to learn how to play... the nice thing is ehlers Laine Connor helle Morrissey even scheif armia and Lowry all had very strong games. If the Jets can be around 500 until December ish... they got a legit chance to do some damage. They are a very dangerous team. Myers looking more and more like a solid number 2 d man every game he plays. Honestly I'm not missing trouba... he makes very little difference in my opinion. Little is the big loss tho. Play 500 or better until he's back and replace guys like Burmi and thorburn who really don't have a place on the team and we will be good. Tanev Copp Dano is a better 4th line than Tanev Burmi Thorburn

Argument could be made that ehlers has been our best player this season.

MP is a better winger. Call up Copp. Go Scheif Perreault Lowry Copp until little is back. Burmi shouldn't be on the ice

Ducks will be over the cap by about 150 000 and still need to shed salary. They are seriously in cap hell and might be forced to give up a guy like Theodore Larsson or Montour just to move a guy like Stoner. Like Chicago gave up Teravainen to get rid of Bickell. Ducks will have to do the same shortly.

And the call up would probably be 1 of Copp Howden or Dano. I'd lean towards Dano at the moment tho.

Pavelec is putting up crappy numbers in the AHL currently. He's not the answer. Dude was on waivers and nobody took him. Part of that is salary but part is the fact that for 5 6 years he's proven he's not good enough. Helle hasnt even had half an nhl season... Pav had 6 maybe more of below average goaltending and some ppl want pavelec back? Lol. He makes no difference and won't be in the nhl next year.

Dreger saying the jets made a 6 years 5.5 million per offer. Apparently trouba camp doesn't see a fit in canada Tho. Honestly they need to trade him or let him rot. Those are the 2 options. Overhardt word isn't the truth. It sounds like the truth is he wants out of not only winnipeg but Canada in general. If that's the truth... the little entitled boy needs to rot for a while.

Not negotiating doesn't mean they aren't accepting contract offers from the Jets. It just means they have a number they want and jets haven't offered it yet. Based on Lindholm I'd offer Trouba 5 million a year over 6. Nothing more. I'd even be reluctant to give him 5. Overhardt word is not gospel. .. it's closer to BS probably

Hopefully Maurice pulls his head out of his ass before then.

Ya cuz it's Chevy putting thorburn out with 3 42 to go down by 2. It's Chevy who puts burmi up with scheif and Wheeler but leaves the one man armia essentially on the 4th line. Yup. The talent is there.... we just got a coach who is stuck in a very old school mentality.

Ya .. Maurice is definitely part of the problem. Anyone putting the game on hutch doesn't understand that he can't score goals. He just saved the Jets asses a bunch of times cuz Dallas had some Grade A scoring chances... But back to real legit problems Why is Thorburn on the ice with 3 42 to go trailing by 2. Why was Burmi elevated to play with Scheif and Wheeler and Armia wasn't? Why is Lowry still on the PP? Why are we rotating goalies.... just ******* play one... Hutch and Helle are being groomed to fail. You can't be consistent if you are in a rotation. So... Thorburn plays against the not very physical team who likes to run and gun? But Connor sits? Just coaching killing this team . The PP ain't working...figure it out. .. switch it up...Buff in front of the net Laine Morrissey on the points... Scheif Ehlers on PP1. No more buff on the point or wheeler who really does nothing on the PP.

Postma is a very capable 3rd pair RHD. Stu Chiarot is just stupidity. Dallas tho is very injured and yeah... but still.... this is an example of why Maurice may not have as much rope as some suggest.

Bob Mckenzie explained it. Bottom line with Lindholm is the ducks don't have the cap space until they make a trade. That's the holdup... they only have 5.4 in space cuz they put depres on ltir but guess what. .. he won't be there for long and there's some talk that he shouldn't even be there now so let's pretend Lindholm gets 5.4 (probably wants more tho ) ducks have 5.4 in space but then depres comes back... uh oh... over the cap. They can't sign Lindholm until he is moved out... plus the 30000 cap space a day? U sure it's not week but regardless adds up. .. they don't have the cap space

Maurice goes long long long before Chevy does and if he keeps playing favorites and the pp keeps sucking and the team keeps taking penalties with no consequences it will be sooner rather than later. This team has skill out the butt... it's gonna take time for them to gel obviously but things like playing favorites... bad PP.. being unprepared to play... in football terms not making adjustments in game quick enough... no consequences for penalties... well it's on the coach. If this was the bombers ppl would want O'shea gone but since it's Maurice and he's a good talker... nope. It's crazy actually. But should ppl be surprised that a coach with a below 500 winning percentage with history of doing the same old same old isn't the answer? Wasn't the answer in Hartford or Carolina or Toronto and then sat for years not coaching.... there's a reason for that.... and it's got a lot to do with the fact that coaches with below 500 records don't get hired.

Stu for Postma is a stupid move as stu Chiarot is a dumpster fire together. Connor can sit a game or 2 but at the same time thorburn sucks so I don't like it. You are removing potential O for what? 5 minutes a game?

Maybe it's a coaching problem cuz it seems like that's been the issue regardless of who is in goal.

So let's just pretend Ottawa offered Erik Karlsson for Trouba? You'd turn that down cuz we need a good defensive d man? I don't think so. The best D is a good O. The more this Lindholm in Anaheim stuff drags on I think it's more likely a trouba plus petan type for Lindholm deal seems likely.

BC has been terrible vs the WEST this year tho, besides SASK, they have the worst record in the west vs the west.

I think you are right... I think Maurice needs to clean up the penalties, i think he talks a good talk but his actions tend to not really go hand in hand with his talk... he's very much like Noel, where i think he's a great interview but perhaps his actions suggest otherwise, It's funny, if you look at Maurices Career as a head coach and this can't just be coincidence cuz it's happened everywhere he's gone but... the team he coaches has a good year maybe 2 and then they nose dive, fall off a cliff, i wonder at times if his message that he sends to the media and fans is the same one he's sending to the players and perhaps eventually the players see through it, I mean, at this point, when a veteran like stafford or buff plays like crap, what happens is they get to play and play and play... but if a rookie makes a mistake, he sits on the bench for a bit... I don't know how well that goes over with players in the long run. It's one to thing to play favorites but... when you constantly do it, perhaps you lose some of the respect from the players.. You got a guy like Buff for example, struggled like lots so far, but theres no consequences to his struggles, he still plays his 25 30 minutes a night.... lowry on the PP? I mean that right there is crazy, i get what they are doing but if they think LOWRY on the PP with the same group who hasn't got it done for 2 seasons is the answer, that's crazy talk... I like Maurice but I'm not sure if he's the right coach for a team who seems to be building towards being built on speed and skill. And his interview saturday night where he was talking about thorburn and stuart, saying it's a tough choice to not play them in the game tomorrow, well, is it tho? should it be? I don't think it should be a hard choice at all, i mean, is the idea to try to win or is it to play favorites? Cuz right now, it almost looks like Maurice is playing favorites and that's not a good thing for a coach to be doing. All of them do it, but when you have a team built right now for speed and skill, why would you ever think of putting thorburn or stuart back in there.

And that's what it comes down to, several more guys should have been there, i mentioned Housely and McLean as 2 others including Arniel but... they couldn't make it. I'm sure they all would have loved to play here but their current jobs take precedent i suppose. Can't have every guy that played for the Original Jets in the line up, cant make everyone happy, personally, I thought they did a pretty damn good job. Would it have been cool if a few other guys who weren't there were? You bet, but for the most part, i think they got the main ones, at least the main ones who didn't have prior engagements elsewhere.

Maybe the Moose will have an outdoor game one day, AHL does it also so perhaps they will honor guys like Keane then. I don't know.

Maybe for a season or 2 but Bottom Line, he's an assitant coach in the NHL and wouldn't have come. Just like Housley and Paul Mclean should have been there also but are coaching in the NHL.

Maybe if the Moose had an outdoor game, but Mike Keane was in attendance for sure, he's part of the current Jets staff. I would probably lean towards NO tho, because quite frankly, for as good as Mike Keane and Scott Arniel were when they played for the Moose, neither did play for our PRO hockey teams, and i get the AHL is considered PRO but... in reality, this was about "Winnipeg Hockey" in the NHL and WHA. Not about a Minor League Team like the Moose. To be honest, when i THINK MOOSE legends, or guys of that nature i think more of Cory Schneider, and guys like that... Fedor Fedorov even lol, Rick Rypien even but the problem with that is they were all Vancouver Canucks property. Arniel? Isn't he busy coaching somewhere and Keane? Well, he might be from here but I'd say he's best known for playing for a team like Montreal.
