Game Story ; Yet another chance to win 3 in a row only this time the odds are against us and the situation is grim. The one team we can almost never beat but we have this new goalie who is securing his reputation as a miracle worker

Pretty sure Maurice has some sort of issue with Petan. Not sure what but when it looks like Copp Scheif Ehlers and Petan on the 4th with Tanev and Thorburn... man oh man. Makes you wonder what Maurice is thinking. 

As usual, he's ignoring corsi and scoring chances and inserting 'grit'.  I'm sure he thinks Petan and Ehlers are too small to be on the same line.

Same with leaving Trouba off the powerplay and with promoting Thorbs instead of Ehlers last year, bumping Burmi up to second line this year, giving Morrissey zero special teams time, etc etc etc

Petan will eventually force his way up the lineup... and then we'll all wonder why it took so long.

Well, let's hope Stafford has a 'mere flesh wound' then.

Gibson not as hurt as originally reported. Good chance he starts. Ducks own the Jets asses recently 

Hey, they wanna start a hurt goalie...fine with me.

Other than a Jets win  my hope for this game is that the fans do not chant "katey Perry"

Other then his size?

Have they announced the starting goalie yet?

Ken Wiebe @WiebeSunSports

Ondrej Pavelec will start in goal for #NHLJets vs #Ducks and Paul Maurice left the door open for him to start again on Tue vs #SJSharks

I hate to say it but I think the Jets lose 5-4. I hope I'm wrong. How are we going to win without Staf and Hutch dressed?

Star back to back?  lol.  Maurice sure is a dreamer.

Ride Pavs until he falters, which could very well be tonight LOL. I like Petan better than Staff anyway so to me that's no loss. Interested to see what Tanev's game looks like after his stint in the A. Shaping up to be an interesting game at the very least ...

You are such a drama queen, it is unbelievable.  Not every line placement is the result of some hidden grudge.  Maurice said he wants to get a look at the top line with both Copp on the wing, and then Petan on the wing and Copp at centre on the 4th.  Sounds like a coach who is using an injury as an opportunity to get a look at two young players in different spots.  It's almost like he is trying to find the best ways to use players instead of assuming he already knows the perfect lineup, like you have since before training camp apparently.

I'd agree with this if Stafford didn't get elevated to first line this year and Thorburn didn't end up on the second line last year...

4-3 Jets if Bernier starts.....5-3 if they score an EN goal.

Me?  Lol get real.  Bring your conspiracy theories about Maurice and veterans around and I'll call it out every time.

You mean Stafford who was bounced to the 4th line and Thorburn who has spent half the season in the press box?  

Fingers crossed that Laine will be back for tomorrow's game

without going into whether he's a good coach,

how the hell does Maurice do press interviews almost daily, and still sound sensible, responsive to questions, and polite?

it's quite impressive. His PR skills are exceptional.

Especially since Paul Friesen asks some of the questions...

come watch now as the Jets take on a Team that is a PITA

Copp scores

Good Copp, bad Thorburn.

Blaming Pav on the 2nd goal.
