Game story so far...

 

-Road trip from hell ends tonight

-Hutch to start

-Petan out/Peluso in(for a missing Ryan Reeves)

-Chiarot out/Pardy in

St. Louis have some injuries so a fast start is needed but i'm afraid we might see the same old results tonight. 

lines from practice...

 

Perreault-Little-Wheeler
Ladd-Scheifele-Ehlers
Thorburn-Lowry-Stafford
Petan-Copp-Burmistrov (Peluso mixed in)

Pardy-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart-Trouba
Chiarot-Postma

Pavelec and Hutchinson

 

 

Is Ladd fast enough to keep up with Ehlers and scheif?

Is Peluso dressing?

Pardy probably playing and Pavs starting.

 

Has Pardy played with Buff?

 

I'd like to clone Wheeler and have him play on all 4 lines..... maybe teach him to play D too!

I think Pardy played with Buff some last year and was decent.  Pardy isnt elite by any stretch but he is decent.

LOL ladd with Scheif and Ehlers... c'mon Maurice. That's not gonna go well, guess he wants Ladd to drag down Scheif and Ehlers now too?

 

Perreault struggling so you promote him to the top line? This is ass backwards stuff.. Peluso dressing? That helps how? Unreal. 

 

Stuart making tons of mistakes and taking dumb penalties every game is still playing? Awesome... no consequences for playing poorly.. nope, promote the unskilled vets like thorburn and peluso and sit the skilled guys.. Awesome. 

 

If these lines don't tell you why we are struggling.... my god, i don't know what does.

 

8-0 St Louis and the Jets don't get 20 shots on goal. 

Not sure y they are sitting Petan and dressing Burmi.Unless they are showcasing him on the 4 line.☺

Goalie should be an NHL coach!!  So wise!!

Who would you replace Stuart with....just asking.

Pardy Chiarot or Postma. Stu needs to sit... I get these guys aren't exactly massive upgrades but... I'm not sure they'd be much worse.

Postma plays.... has a bad game... benched... Chiarot plays... bad game... benched. Stu plays... bad game... plays again. .. bad game... again and repeat.

Maurice relies on his vets too much. No consequences for them but a young guy messes up... benched. That's his history. Toronto Carolina Hartford even... it's the same thing. Rely too much on vets and sit the young guys. No consequences for the vets. The culture hasn't been changed yet.

Stu's going no where, he's arguably PoMo's fave d-man.

 

We had a better winning percentage with Harrison, just saying.

That's the problem. Stu is his favorite d man. That's a big problem. It's not about having favorites... it's about consequences. Treat everyone equal... if stu has lol has... a bad game... you sit him.

Hutch to start.... Pav to finish

Has Maurice lost confidence in Pav?;

Chiarot isn't even playing as good as Stuart is....a real disappointment this year.

Hutch to start.... Pav to finish

Has Maurice lost confidence in Pav?;

No, he wants to show confidence in Hutch after pulling him last game. Imo, good coaches do that.

Yikes.  Is Hutch going to get pulled in this game as well?

 

This team is falling fast.

 

Here comes another penalty.....

No chance On either goal.

Second one was just a breakdown on the pk by Stuart then trouba and finally stafford.

Tarasenko scores every time on every goalie from there on the first one.

12 straight goals against and none for the jets. Last jets goal was myers vs Dallas

The team is making it very hard for me to defend them....  

3 shots on net in the first just isn't what i thought i was going to see from a team that got it handed to them the game before

Tough one to lose but they played better overall............gotta stay outta the sin bin.

They played well the rest of the game tho. Refs sure seem like they will let other teams get away with things the jets don't. Penalty to Lowry was horseshit and St Louis was running around tired in their own zone. Hnidy said it best... that's a penalty for being stronger

Still no real flow to the Jets offence very herky jerky, good on Trouba answered the call and and did quite well, Burmi with his best game in a while, Little Wheeler, and Perreault not bad for a first game together, even Peluso with some hustle tonight. Still another lose and unfortunately losing like winning can be very contagious.   

You know what says it all...0-5 on the power play, although I've heard the Jets aren't going to be allowed to call it that. And there is absolutely no truth to the rumour that someone named Marcel has designed our power play offence.

Their PK ain't so hot either...

Peluso 6 minutes +2

Petan who?

Player of the game - Bryan Little.

Probably the player of the last 4 games

I didn't watch much but online chatter is top line was good but second line wasn't. Did Ladd bring it down? Is Ehlers just not polished enough?
