I also appreciated how he noted that Ves was sent down partly because he ain't developing on that 4th line playing a few minutes per game...Pre game interview coach Dave says “we need to treat this like a playoff game and we can’t get into trading chances”.
Game: complete 80’s style wide open hockey trading chances at both ends.
... and then proceeds to once again play that now Ves-less 4th line for a few minutes in the game.
Honestly makes me think that this scoring / maybe also scoring / checking / placeholder strategy is actually something that the Jets' brain-trust has embraced as a team direction, rather than a coach-by-coach decision.
