Speedy, that's from December 2017 that article

To be fair, it WAS a magical season. 

Sorry guys, I THOUGHT I saw a tweet this morning saying Scheifle picked up a major injury. I didn't check the date of the attachment which I should have. Just assumed that was what happened. I did think it was odd that he suffered the same injury against the same team. Didn't put 2 & 2 together. More than just a little embarrassed here.

Of course the twitter conversation was at 6 am this morning so trying to find it now is impossible.

I personally think the injury story would explain why he's playing so poorly this season.   I think I'll have to face the reality that this team isn't very good right now.

I figured there was more to the story, when he was transferred to HSC.  Feel bad for Little, obviously, but Ehlers too...  He must feel terrible.

How has he been playing poorly this season? He's got 5 points in 7GP and his possession numbers are among the best on the team (and were sitting at career highs for him personally). Despite the injury he sustained during the pre-season, he was having a very nice start prior to Tuesday's horrific incident.

Wan't @captaincanuck12 referencing Sheif?

The team has played .500 hockey since last Xmas.

Sounds like a Taylor Swift song, "Last Christmas you gave it your hardest but the very first game gave it away."

Little on IR, Luoto called up. Interesting choice. Kinda feel bad for Hawkins.

Yes referencing Schiefs.   His play has considerably regressed since the All-star game of last year.  He may have 7pts in 5 games... but the game against the NJD, he was responsible for losing the puck battle in the first period to a relative no-name player and guess what happened next... the puck ends up in our net!    The fact is that line has been outplayed,  outworked and hemmed in their zone the majority of the time they were on the ice.   He's a -6 this year .     Was -4 against Anaheim , and -1 against NJD.

Thanks for clarifying and my bad for assuming. The stats I listed were Little's, not Scheifele's.

He and Wheeler have been colossally disappointing so far this season. I can't figure it out but neither are playing smart two-way hockey right now, which is bad because they're both leaders on this team.

Yah sorry about the confusion.  I'll provide better context next time.   And couldn't agree with you more!  

No matter how much Wheeler blows smoke about Maurice, its going to soon be time for a change of message & messenger.  Something is wrong.

I dont think the Jets will do something drastic like going full youth and trading Wheeler & Little.  So, the axe will fall on the coach.

Vertigo is not too surprising, given the perforated eardrum.  His equilibrium would be all out of whack.

Sucks to be a Jets fan right now... But life doesn't seem much better for Avs fans:
