Some players resist dedicating to a defensive emphasis in their games, while others embrace it in a realization that is how to preserve their NHL career.

I don't think you can equate those 2 guys. One of them is still in the AHL, the other is making 4 million this year and next in the NHL.
That's true for sure. Sometimes I wonder if we aren't helping the situation. Didn't Petan make a comment about not getting direction from the Jets.
I'm not sure about Petan's comment, but it seems unlikely the organization wouldn't work with him on developing his game as many other players have talked about the direction they were given about what they needed to work on to make it to the next level. My thoughts some players just have blinders on, to what it takes, no matter how things go for them.

It's not DJ Smith.
They're missing some of their best defencemen and the offence hasn't shown up at all. I think they make a trade before firing the coach.

CBJ fans want to dump Roslovic as a capdump. So his point still stands. If Roslovic could just be normal defensively he'd have a long career as a middle-6 player in this league.
The complaints are the same as they were with the Jets. He is a perimeter player that won’t go to the tough areas. Every once in a while things bounce your way and you have a nice productive night. But most nights nothing good happens and people notice you did little to try and make anything good happen.
Back in 2009/10, the Moose signed Jason Krog (former NHLer and one of the best AHL players in the league at the time) to 1-year contract for $650,000 as they bolstered the lineup in an attempt to take a serious run at the Calder Cup. There are a decent number of AHLers who can make pretty good bank.

18 games in and the Florida Panthers are right where you would expect a Paul Maurice coached team to be: 0.500 Ws and Ls. A ton of talent with a mediocre result. Sound familiar?

Blues had that losing streak and now they have won 6 in a row. Top of the central is going to be very tough again, as usual. Colorado, Dallas, Winnipeg, Blues, Wild (once they wake up).
Its always a long grind of a season and making the playoffs in the West will be tough for the Jets this season without Ehlers. Its good we got off to a hot start, that never hurts. We really need Hellebuyck to play at a Vezina level again this season. So far so good on that front.

Boy the Blues sure are an enigma this year, but that's a correction that's not altogether surprising, they've been a playoff team for years now, since the year they traded us Stastny, a proud group, who know how to handle adversity.
Minnesota I'm not sure they will wake up. Losing Fiala has sapped some of their offense. Rossi hasn't stepped up in any way, and is making Perfetti look like a better pick in that draft. Fleury in net has been inconsistent and now injured. With Hartman out they probably have the worst centre depth in the league.
I'll give the fans on here some credit who recognized that Nashville's shooting % of last year was a fluke. If the Jets can keep those two teams in their rear view mirror through November and December I'm optimistic, even if it leaves us battling with the 2 Alberta teams for a WC.
Right now St. Louis is still in the rear view mirror and hopefully can keep them there until Dec. 8, when maybe we can send them on another losing streak.
I agree with you though the backbone of our success is in net.

Paul Maurice's Florida Panthers get their asses handed to them by the Laine-less and AHL laden Columbus Blue Jackets.

I looked up the score after I saw this and it was only 5-3
. Goalie Bob struck in the 3rd.

The Paul Maurice Pitchfork Thread (MOD Warning Post #1)
We have a talented roster? lol Maurice is not the one outshooting opponents every game and not finding the back of the net…. Or the one letting in garbage goals…he can’t control those. As far as I know. Goldie said something tonight along the lines of when you take a lot of low % chances at...

The team seems to have good metrics but Paul just isn't getting the goaltending. Not much any coach can do with .780 goaltending.For your viewing pleasure.

Yeah, he seems to be back to his pre Jet days where he routinely got poor goaltending.
I've watched the Panthers play and they are a very good team at generating chances 5 on 5. They just can't finish or get a save. Special teams are still a mess under him though.

I do not want to see the Panthers tank. Do not want the Habs to get another low pick.
