Wow. I just woke up after going to bed at 7 pm. Chef's not too good on the third line. Mau cannot be happy today.

Wait, you don't win many games by giving up 2 and only score 1? By my rudimentary math, you don't win any games that way.

False news, Kings have beaten the Knights, Oilers and Isles in the past two weeks. They've been playing much better than people think.

Sarcastic understatement. None is definitely not many.

A pint of dark matter, please.
Yes. Far from a push-over, these Kings. Their total record is awful, but their recent play is quite good.
The Jets looked very tired in the first, understandably.
I was really impressed that they dug deep and were just a buzzer beater short of tying it up.
Laine has to stop passing up shots

It's got to a point that he's looking for a pass even if the lane isn't there.
No it wasn’t a mistake. Should have been 4th line. He wasn’t playing worth a crap.

Call me crazy but I think he’s honestly trying to prove a point.

I'm not going to get too upset at this loss.
We played three games on the east coast, came home for one game and then played three more games on the west coast.

Agreed. I'm now cautiously optimistic Jets can make the playoffs...something I felt was Everest-like at the start of the season with the D corps. GJG!!!
I'm gonna guess because he doesn't just want to be known as a goal scorer . Personally i would rather he scored 50 than assisted on 50 .

The poor start did the team in yesterday. They rebounded but just couldn't find a way to get the winner. It happens, I'll take 2 of 3 wins on the road trip.

Wasn't hoping this result, but to be brutally honest. This team is still a team that's worthy. I don't even mind the blendering. Actually, I like that "someone" isn't too stuborn to make changes since my meh memory is that the team has been stationary for so long. And it's still early, little things can be solved.
And the true games start later on. Not that these don't matter, they do but we've done a good job with the team we have.
I know this is not the thread and I've got nothing against him. I would really love to know about Buff. We are doing pretty well but... to me it's like the contract negotiations, sometimes drives me insane to not know what possibilities we have or don't have. I don't blame Buff, nor the team. Even in loss, I'm optimistic. Hope that stays.

That he wants to be a playmaker and elite passer. I know it sounds crazy, but he is passing up (pardon the pun) lots of great opportunities to shoot.
Why else?

Scheifele absolutely coasting on the second goal and deserved his 'demotion'. Someone on that line needs to play defence, and if it's not going to be the guy with the letter, it may as well be Lowry.
Laine has certainly been stronger on the puck, but he's still waiting for it to get to him instead of going after it (I think this is part of his superpower in the O-zone, and occasionally helps him find soft ice, but in the D zone it's a strong liability).

IDK - I wasn't sure where you were going with your comment -
The easiest answer is he's trying to be a better player and he's taken it too far in one direction - time to find a balance.
In short, I don't think he's trying to make a point - he's just trying to figure out the right balance between a pure shooter and a full time play maker. I assume he, the coaching staff and maybe his line mates are discussing this also

Going by minutes played it doesn't look like it was Scheifele demoted but rather his linemates.
