I want a player like Tkchuck more than ever watching this finals game. He just fires up the team and gets the blood flowing.
The jets have always played best when they get riled up but they don’t have a single player that plays like that.

Ya that 2016 Draft hurts.
Imagine a World where Jets dont move up and decide to pick Tkachuk instead of Laine.
Tkachuck always sounded like he wanted to play in the states, but then again, him and Paul seem to have a good relationship..
Then they decide to move up to pick Tage Thompson instead of Logan Stanley.
Hindsights 20/20, and the Jets were in need of a D back then, but it still hurts..
Emphasis on “some”. Didn't get the Flames to the promised land.
Yes, but could you imagine taking Juolevi 5th overall? Thats gotta hurt waaay more.
Coulda had Nylander, Sergachev, Macavoy or Chycrun. Ouch!
Well Babs and Torts only ever won one each. Sutter won 2. They all found a little bit of success but they all had good teams to work with which likely has more to do with it.
Gary Bettman: NHL still committed to keeping Coyotes in Arizona after arena referendum failed | TSN
Commissioner Gary Bettman says the NHL is still committed to Arizona after Tempe voters rejected a referendum for a Coyotes arena. Bettman said the team is looking at other areas around Phoenix for a long-term home.

“It’s a good market, and if we can make it work, we’ll make it work,” Bettman said. “We've had our challenges."
Well here is a clue Gary: it’s not a good market. In fact its ass, but you can’t get over that its a city of 5 million and owners keep popping up thinking the same thing.

Lol people embellish like this in job interviews ALL THE TIME. Leafs broke up with Kyle and don’t want him dating someone new.

Crap. Maurice is bad again 
I’m laugh reacting at Bettman’s remarks, not your analysis of it. I agree with you.Gary Bettman: NHL still committed to keeping Coyotes in Arizona after arena referendum failed | TSN

Just to keep everything in perspective: F*ck Vegas.

If Laine thought Wheeler and freaking Maurice of all people were hard on him....
How many games before Babs benches Laine for a shift? I would bet on it happening before January.
Roslovic is probably gonna get it even worse with the way he plays defensively.
Funny though how Laine escaped the Jets, only to have to play under two of the most hardass coaches- Torts and Babs.
If Laine comes to camp in so-so shape and drags himself through fitness testing in camp the way he did in Winnipeg, Babs will let everyone know he's displeased. Maybe this will be a good wake-up call for Laine and he'll take another step to being an elite player.
Fixed it for you...

Vegas just keeps steamrolling everyone this playoff. Edmonton kept it somewhat interesting but Vegas was still clearly the better team in that match up.

10 days off really showed on the Panthers, they started the game aggressively but as the game wore on they were more a more a step behind.
Same thing happened to us against Montreal in 2021. Honestly sweeping a team isn't usually a good thing due to the sheer amount of time off after.

We’ll see how they do in game 2.

Apologies for the late response or if this has been covered--I've been off the grid for a few weeks with work.
Not disagreeing with his regular season impact, but the most interesting thing about Matthews and McDavid at the moment is that they are about to be eclipsed by Jack Eichel. I told my son after seeing him live in the Wpg series that this could be the year of Eichel. If Vegas wins the Cup and Eichel wins the scoring title (both of which I am predicting), then years of toiling in McDavid's shadow will be reversed.

Joel Quenneville and Stan Bowman have requested meetings with National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman to discuss their potential reinstatement into the league, Bettman said Saturday.
“They’re currently not eligible. They have both requested, independently, meetings with me,” Bettman said. “After the Stanley Cup Final we’ll try and schedule something and I’ll see what they have to say.”

Really hard to say what Bettman might do with these guys.

But... Gary. You can't make it work. Isn't it blatanly obvious by now? You're literally playing in a college arena because you can't make it work. What is wrong with you? Are you blind? Stevie Wonder can see it by now!

For Laine's sake I hope he takes it that way and becomes the elite player he could be ... he was so entertaining his rookie season and I thought he was going to be an absolute monster but he's been very underwhelming since then and I think his lack of dedication to fitness is a key part of this.
My fear is that Laine doesn't take it as the needed wake-up call and instead just (mentally) peaces out on the Blue Jackets and turns into a bit of a bust.

It would be a remarkable troll job on many counts if Eichel wins a Cup and Conn Smythe before both McDavid and Matthews (if either of those two ever do). I've never liked Eichel but his strange career trajectory has made him slightly more likeable. He certainly looks focused right now.
Eichel's obviously good but I was kind of surprised to see him as Vegas' Conn Smythe favorite for a number of pundits. No single player of Vegas really stands out to me in that traditional Conn Smythe kind of way. They don't have a Bobrovsky or a Tkachuk clearly leading the way. This seems like the type of year where you get a winner like Niedermayer for the Ducks in 2007. The spiritual leader of the team who has a strong but maybe not insane on-ice performance.
Either way, game 1 was hella exciting and I hope Florida has a good push-back tonight. This should be a great series.
