Sturm is expected to make his season debut after recovering from back surgery as the result of an injury during training camp. ... Scheifele did not take part in Jets practice on Saturday for maintenance, but is expected to play Sunday. ... Hellebuyck is expected to be out 4-6 weeks after the goalie had knee surgery Saturday.

Names Lowry Perfetti is interesting. JT at 3C now. I don’t think he’s been very good honestly so prob the right move. I’d prob put Barron between names and Perfetti to add some speed. 

We not gonna make the playoffs this year. 

[iHeart]

no score after 1 I'll take it

[iHeart]

and Pionk has an LBI and done for the day

[captaincanuck12]

Wild open scoring. Bad play by Stanley behind the net

[iHeart]

FIGHT!!!!!

 

[captaincanuck12]

Another shitty second period.  And another ******* shorthanded goal against

 

[captaincanuck12]

This ******* team needs to get it's act together.  Just ridiculous how bad they are

They took the bombers approach. 
got old and kinda slow. 

Comrie isn’t the problem. This group can’t play D and are slow slow slow. 

[Goalie]

3 0. 

It’s rebuild time. 

Just don’t barely miss the playoffs. Give yourself a shot at winning McKenna by being bottom 10 or 8 bad. 

[Goalie]

Make the final. 3 0 wild. Kevin Sawyer is delusional. Jets did not play well. 

[Goalie]

Jets prob need to make some moves. Maybe a big one. I’m not sure what they could do tho. I mean there’s some serious flaws this season. Team seemed completely uninterested in the 2nd and 3rd. Maybe Arniel has lost the room? If not someone needs to go.

Maybe wait until Connor Hellebuyck comes back. I mean, it's not like we have a quality replacement on the team. Our team is built on the back of Hellebuyck. If we keep losing with him in the lineup, then yes. 

[captaincanuck12]

Both Schief and Bucky said they don't want to be part of a rebuild.     So I really hope Chevy finds some answers quick,  Losing Bucky sucks ass, especially now since the team is really struggling.   Our second line is patch work and not really a scoring threat.  

We don't play again till Wednesday. Caps are rolling... little worried we might get blown out.

[Stickem]

First last year to what looks like garbage this year....This club has some serious problems going forward ....definitely need a shake up....What the hell is going on

[HardCoreBlue]

Definitely not the same feeling we had at this point last year.

Soooo I'll get you to go ahead and correct that for us please and thank you and if you can't let me know asap when I should let out let's Go Bombers.

They couldn’t score when he was in net either. They haven’t been good this season. Comrie isn’t the reason they suck.

The team is built on Hellebuyck holding the fort in close games until we score. Comrie isn't a Vezina goalie. He can't do that.
