There is a lot of speculation among sports reporters that Arniel is on the hot seat and will not survive a disastrous road trip.

We play Vancouver next Thursday, that would be loss 11 in a row and being Vancouver that would do it.

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish right?

Arneil inherited a good team from Bowness. 1st year - Presidents Cup. Although there were worrying signs in the playoffs.

Arneils 2nd year as coach - Result = missed playoffs.

Arneils 3rd year as coach - 4-6-3 with a current highlight of 7 straight losses

And I think Chevy also needs to take some blame here. Hate to say it but I think both need to go.

Jets fans, unfortunately, will soon come to know what Oilers fans lived with for years (and Pens fans found out the hard way) - that Skinner sucks and, unfortunately, the Jets don't have the ability to score their way out of his messes. Unless the Jets play a 90s-Era-Devils trap game where there's like less than 20 shots/night against .. you just have no chance, with Skinner in net.

I like the guy... I've always rooted for him... But man he's gonna cost you every time.

I don't disagree on your assessment of Stu but the Jets had a far better goalie last year and look where it got them. I don't think it matters who is in net when the team in front is playing like ass.

No question... This team isn't good enough, no matter what.... But Skinner exacerbates the problem.

Is it the team is not good enough or is it the blue print drawn up to get the most out of this current talent is flawed?

Probably a combo of both that falls on the laps of everyone involved.

Yeah, Skinner is the least of our problems. For now, anyway.

I'm afraid this year the Chant will be Dupont! Getting Morrissey back will make a huge difference but after him we got alot of maybes and some definite no's. I think and hope Arniel is gone, Chevy no,Chipman thinks he is a genius so he sticks. Gonna be a lonnng winter unfortunately but clean house and maybe next year with Dupont we turn it around.

Maybe we can suck long enough to get this guy in 2030...

or this guy in 2027:

Of course, if the Leafs don't make the playoffs all bets are off as they will get the 1st over all, guaranteed.

Who is Dupont? The grandson of Moose Dupont?

A bag of pucks and a jockstrap? Anyone?

Better be a used bag of pucks and jock otherwise it's too high of an asking price.

Projected lines for tonight:

Connor – Scheifele – Vilardi
Perfetti – Lowry – Iafallo
Mercer – Barron – Bjorck
Koepke – Lambert – Rosen

Samberg – Pionk
Ferraro – Salomonsson
Fleury – DeMelo

I don’t recall ever seeing Lambert at center. I don’t like Lowry at 2C with Iafallo, but they’ve lost 9 straight, so….

Finally put Bjorck on wing, hopefully that takes some pressure off him, never remember them ever rushing a player before. Honestly though what is Chevy waiting for?

Go to see we're not doing the ridiculous 11 forwards with 7 defensemen.

Like Vilardi, Mercer and Perfetti, Lambert mainly played center before being drafted.

And they say we can’t find a 2C, we have lots of centers /s

Oh yeah, I know he has played center before, but I don’t think he has with the Jets. Actually, I think his best season with the Moose he was 1C, but I’m not positive.
