BomberFan Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's pre season. Who cares what the lines and pairs are. Coaches, players, fans? DUH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't know about that exactly. Game 1 of pre-season means very little... as does game 2 3 4 really... maybe even 5. Games 6 and 7 you might start to see what the roster will actually look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 The dont mean very little. They have little relation to the final roster but these games are very important, primarily this season with upwards of 3-4 rookies trying to make the team. One bad game and your dreams of making the Jets could be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nah, they really do mean very little to the majority of the players, yeah to 3 or 4 guys it means a spot on the team or not, to those guys it's important but to the guys who know they will be on the game 1 roster, it just a way to get off some rust.... Pav even said that he doesn't get excited to play these games cuz they mean nothing. Sure to guys like Ehlers,Petan,Morrissey,Armia,Lemieux,Copp they mean something but to the rest... not so much. I don't think 1 bad game and your dreams of making the Jets could be over applies here really, Maurice even said after the game he hasn't formed an opinion on any of the young guys yet really.. It's just 1 game man, a game that means very very little to most guys on the roster. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch the game tonight just like i did last night but... at the same time, unlike a regular season or playoff game, it doesn't really matter to me if i miss 5 or 10 minutes of it.

Ducky Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 These games mean a lot to the players like Petan, Armia, etc... The last couple of games are closer to the opening lineup but these games tell the coaches who should be on the opening lineup. The last couple of games there will still be decisions being made as to who stays and who goes down. I'm not sure about one mistake costing you that much. The coaches are expecting these you ng players to make mistakes but htye have to limit them and show improement in the system. I don't think Lowry centers Ladd and Little very much at all this year. I would like to see Scheif between Perrault and Wheeler. Pavs played a good game I thought. He made some big saves when the team needed them. Helle played well, too.

Atomic Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't mind preseason as I am always excited to see the prospects in action. A lot of these guys, regardless of whether they make the team out of camp or not, are going to make up the core of the team over the next 3 years. Line combos are an interesting talking point and preseason is a perfect time to try out new ones... Eventually guys will switch positions over the course of the season due to injury so it's good to see now how some centres handle playing on the wing or vice versa. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 For those of you who might be going to the Oilers game on Friday night, there's a good chance you're going to be able to get a good look at Connor McJesus. He's not getting the start tonight for Edm, so he'll be at either the Jets or Wild game on the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Pretty weak Line up tonight for the jets. Lowry Burmi Copp Armia and that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Lowry been invisible. Burmi playing well. Lipon too. Armia and Copp been good too. Whole bunch of Meh tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Lowry been invisible. Burmi playing well. Lipon too. Armia and Copp been good too. Whole bunch of Meh tho. Weird, I feel like Lowry has been pretty decent, gritting it out in front of the net. Armia looks good but doesn't always seem to be paying attention. Copp has not been great from what I've seen. Burmi looking a lot better than I gave him credit for. Think Olsen will be the first call up. Its pre-season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 That goal given up by Comrie was brutal. One of the worst ive seen by a Jets v2 goalie. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Chiarot had a nice game, Lowry too Oleson looks like he could compete with Copp for that 4th line centre Really like Harrison's game - he's slow but plays smart. Maybe we see... Ladd-Little-Stafford Perrault-Scheifele-Wheeler Burmistrov-Lowry-Armia Thorburn-Oleson-Halischuk (Copp, Peluso) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Liking Armia more than i thought I would. Pencil him in on the 4th for now. Gives the 4th more skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not a terrible game for the moose. Pardy really struggled lots. Copp was good. Armia was good. Burmi was good. Lowry didn't do much but his first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wouldn't surprise me if Lemieux and Armia are on the 4th line to start either. Maybe just 7 or 9 gamed for Lemieux but I think they like him.

The Unknown Poster Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Unless he really bombs Lemiuex should get a few games. No harm there. Anyone want to take a guess on the Moose line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing Linea but... Petan De Leo Fraser Halischuk kosmo Olson Raffl Albert Walker Lipon plus 2 or 3 more forwards D will be kichton Morrissey one or both of Pardy and Harrison Kostalek melchiori plus who knows . Helle and comrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I see no need for both peluso and thorburn on the team. It wouldn't shock Me if you see Chevy pull a very minor trade.. peluso and Postma for a draft pick type thing. I also feel and kind of hope that you see more skill on the 4th line. Lemieux Petan Armia would be interesting to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I liked Kosmachuk. Now where is Marcus Karlstrom??? Wait...he's playing in Omaha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Kosmo sucked. Should be much better than he has been. Not even close to nhl ready Karlstrom peluso Postma many "plugs" haven't played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Kosmo will season on the moose this year Definitely like the idea of more skill on the 4th. After two very early games I think Armia is making a case for it. Thorburn - Copp - Armia. I don't think they would have resigned Peluso if they didn't want him. He and Thorburn will spell each other off. Jets want the option of starting a killer if they feel someone might take liberties with Ehlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not convinced copp makes it... very good defensively tho Lemieux Petan Armia would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm not yet convinced that's the best use of Petan. Let him develop his offensive skills against pros in the AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Chiarot stood out as having a good game to me. Copp is VERY sound defensively and rarely out of position. He understands the system. Kosmo will be a lifetime AHLer if he doesn't pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
