Goalie Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Buff is a possibility for tomorrow according to Maurice so he's probably not as hurt as it looked The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Ehlers sure is fun to watch. He's weaving around the other team, stop, start, change direction, pass/ shoot, and they look like their they are standing still. Looking like one of the top players in the NHL when he plays like that. Edited January 15, 2016 by Mark F spelling Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 So far in this thread I've learned the following about Ladd: 1. It's clearly him that Wheeler called out. 2. He's is a ***** b/c he can't play through getting a puck in the face. 3. He's feuding with Wheeler & Little. 4. He's a terrible role model for the rookies. Anybody else have any insider information on how terrible a player/person Ladd is? I think we've pretty clearly found our scapegoat for this season.

Trouba is good one in ten games, Myers is rarely an impact player, and the others aren't even worth mentioning. But for some reason its always Buff taking the heat, hmm I wonder why that is? Is everybody being racist again? The highest profile player on a team is always going to take the most heat when things aren't going well. It's like that in most cities. Obviously it's not always fair, but a lot of sports fans are idiots. Atomic and blitzmore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Regardless of what happens with the Jets, I sure hope Nashville misses the playoffs. What a bunch of clowns out there last night. Neal and Johansen are two of your best players....at diving and whining at the refs.

But you'd have to think he'd have to be REALLY injured to not come with the team the night following a game - especially as a pending UFA, 6 weeks from the deadline. What the injury is, and the severity, is going to have massive implications on whether we sign or trade him. Just based on how the man looked leaving the ice, I'd be pretty shocked to see him tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour was he got traded by the Pens b/c he wasn't very popular. I follow a few Pitt reporters on twitter and they said he treated the training/locker room staff like crap, which is a no-no in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a small man, but plays like one on the ice. The cheap shots over the years. The embellishment. If that's true about his treatment of the locker room staff, even worse on him. Unrelated, but I'm sure they'll be a post about Suber over in a Bombers thread... the way that guy carried himself as a Bomber, that's a true pro athlete.

I remember with Selanne, we had to wait for his military service to end before he could play in the NHL so he was what, 21 or 22 when he arrived here? Imagine how much Ehlers is going to progress in that time. He reminds me of Pavel Bure with the speed and sneakiness he has. He just needs to get a bit bigger and gain more experience. The upside is big on this one. Edited January 15, 2016 by kelownabomberfan Mark F and Goalie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd with a quiet 3 points. Wheeler and little were solid. Ehlers stepping up big time. 4 points now in last 7 games. Kids been playing well the last while . Basically since he got put with Perreault. Thorburn is an anchor out there. Just so slow and no vision at all. 4th line really solid. Helle was peppered in the 3rd. You can call Thorburn lots of things but slow is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thorburn works hard. But his talent level is well below everyone else. Credit to him that he gets a few goals off pure hard work. I like him. If he's on the 4th line. If he's any higher your team has issues.

Rich Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I was worried when we first signed Thorburn to that contract, but I think he is having one of his best seasons as a Jet this year. FrostyWinnipeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Actually, he is a great 4th liner and never complains about anything....a real team guy. I'm probably too hard on him when it'snot his fault he is played further up the lines than he probably should be. Lemieux, Copp and Thorbs next year might not be too bad for a 4th line.

You can't be a goal suck anymore in the NHL as it exists today. You have to play both ways or you are toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
