October 24, 20169 yr Tuesday 730P Clutch/Niemi to start Edited October 25, 20169 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
October 25, 20169 yr Author D pairs: Morrissey-Byfuglien, Enstrom-Myers, Stuart-Chiarot. Looks like Postma is out. Early lines: Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler, Ehlers-Perreault-Stafford(?), Matthias-Lowry-Armia, Thorburn-Burmistrov-Tanev. Looks like Connor is out Edited October 25, 20169 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
October 25, 20169 yr I assume its supposed to be Stafford on the 2nd line. Mat-Low-Arm was pretty good last game even though Lowry has hands of stone and matthias doesnt need a name plate on his jersey since no one calls his name. As some of us speculated, could be Connor is getting some time to watch and learn.
October 25, 20169 yr Well, one injury and one holdout. To be fair to the Jets, I think most other teams would be playing well below expectations too without a top 4 D AND a top 2 centre. Little and Trouba are 2 of what, our top 6 or 7 players I figure? I can't find too much fault with any of Maurice's lineups so far this season. In a perfect world, where we're healthy and Trouba's a Jet long-term I'd say we'd be a pretty solid team - esp fancy stats-wise. In more perfect-er world, where contract status was forgotten and we had, say Dano up over Burmistrov or Lowry - even better gameday roster. Bottom line, we've got 16 games in 28 nights with 6 sets of back to backs. And oh - looky there, Dec.1 is also right around that time too....Ovvvvvverrrhaaaarddt Overrrhaarrrrdddt. Should be fascinating to see where the Jets are and how the roster looks by the time New Years rolls around.
October 25, 20169 yr Sitting Connor won't hurt him. If anything it will help him. Now I'm not saying sit him for a week because he needs the ice time but to sit him for two or three games is the right thing to do if you ask me. His defensive game needs a lot a lot did I say a lot of work.
October 25, 20169 yr 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?
October 25, 20169 yr 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.

Stuart over Postma isn't costing us games. Having only Stuart and Postma to choose from is the root problem. But damn, we've got such a great prospect pool. Which defenceman should we bring up next? I'll wait for an answer.... *crickets*. Or do only forward prospects count towards us having the best prospect pool in the league?

Maybe not this year though. Burmi on a breakaway? That ever happen b4? Matth should have shot on that pass from Armia whose having a pretty good game and then it goes the other way and...

October 26, 20169 yr Author Damn right thats goalie interference...least i hope so. Fudge. Wow the chances in the DAL end. Armia! Buff! Edited October 26, 20169 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
October 26, 20169 yr Somebody explain to me why Armia isn't playing with more offensive isn't playing with more offensive-minded players
October 26, 20169 yr Just now, Ducky said: Somebody explain to me why Armia isn't playing with more offensive isn't playing with more offensive-minded players Because they are all playing with the moose.
October 26, 20169 yr Klingberg and Stars exhausted after icing... so Maurice throws out the Ray Neufeld line. Wow. Lowry dribbles the puck to Niemi. Edited October 26, 20169 yr by Floyd
