While we don't have a great O/T record, I'm not worried about it.   There is no  3 on 3 format in the playoffs, so I wouldn't use much practise time on it.

Do you really have to practice shorter shifts?   Like if they don't practice for OT at all... why not just run the lines if you don't care about it - why run your vets into the ground... this team is going to be exhausted by the playoffs

Its almost a blessing the Trouba, Lowry and Scheif have been injured as long as they have...

Helle was unbelievable.  Jets are just decimated right now.  Likely a trouncing coming tonight but if they can play tight and escape with a point Ill be happy.  Need to get healed up.  The fact Kulikov is in Winnipeg being evaluated concerns me

True about the playoffs... Thank God.

I'm sure they hardly use any practice time on 3 on 3, and I wouldn't expect them to, but at least give some other guys a shot, to see if they can maybe have some success.

Kelly Moore @KMooreCJOB

In their 14 games that have been "North of 60" @NHLJets have been out shot 42-27 and are 2-8 in OT and 2-2 in SO's for a combined record of 4-10.

3 on 3 might be exciting but its ridiculously stupid.

especially when Buff stays out for the entire 5 minutes.  Then it's 2 on 3 and Buff puffing around the ice.  He also looked pretty bad on that second Ovie goal.  He just lay there while Ovie fired it into the net, on the third try.

And yet, he was the only skater trying to stop Ovi. The rest were just watching the proceedings.

Outside of Myers and Buff I'm not sure if i want any other D man in overtime. It's all about the offense.

IMHO Morrisey is the best skater of our D-men.

True but depending on how the OT frame is going and how the coach (es) are reading the play, at times it could mean you  want more defensive awareness on the ice to get us into the shootout. It's not the first choice for sure but it may be an option you need to employ to give us the best chance on getting that extra point if the ice seems to be tilted in their favour.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you but I don't see how getting to the shootout provides us with any advantage.  You've already secured the loser point so IMO you go for the win as soon as OT starts.

JoMo would be my pick.  He's more than capable offensively and he's solid in the D zone too.

No you're right. I'm just talking about if you are being completely outplayed on three on three MAYBE the shootout will give us the better chance  to win so hang on for dear life with some defensive guys.

But yea go for the win in OT.

Trouba-Morrissey are our 'go to' shutdown pairing but both are offensively gifted Dmen...  but somehow Morrissey is still being 'sheltered' from OT and significant Penalty kill time...

I hope we win the cup but I'll never ever understand Maurice's thinking - its really starting to look like our vets will be gassed by the time we hit the playoffs...

Trouba - career high 33 points.

Morrissey - career high 22 points. 

Let's not overstate their offensive gifts.
