Enquiring minds want to know.I doubt it. But it's a gorgeous place to spend a winter afternoon. Until you get trashed by a fat prude.

I was wondering who would fall for it and indulge her first. I must say, expected the regular guy.Enquiring minds want to know.
They got destroyed on the PK ... check the 5 on 5 stats.I don't know. Saying the Jets were winning until they got destroyed is like saying it was dry outside until it started raining.
I have been super impressed with Marchand. The guy is a disgusting weasel but man does he show up when it counts.
He can defend just fine. He’s not going to overpower anyone but he is very intelligent, similar to how Enstrom played defense. And a huge part of defence is the ability to transition out of our end and that is where he shines. That is the ability we lack currently.
Oh but rebuilds take ten years and never work...
We need another Buff but those types of players don't come around very often.Agreed. I see him as potentially being our version of Girard. Smaller dmen that helps with quick retrieval and a high end first pass. He also has the ability to jump into the play and contribute offensively.
Hindsight is like your superpower!
A smart owner puts people in place to succeed instead of people that are loyal. I'll give you an example the Dallas Cowboys have won nothing since Jerry declared he was the smartest man in football.

Yeah, the "regular guy' got tired of being played over and over and is trying to not get jerked around so much. You gotta think it was a thong bikini of some kind but I'm not gonna ask. No, sir, not me. But I am allowed to go back and look at her pics in the humor thread and speculate.I was wondering who would fall for it and indulge her first. I must say, expected the regular guy.
heinola can barely tread water in the NHL regular season. he would be eaten alive by the Avs stop kidding yourself. i don't think anyone wants to pay playoff prices to see "young team in development mode"Yeah. The things he's best at -- positioning, transition play and passing, PP QB'ing and getting shots through, and so on -- are things the Jets need. Sure he isn't blowing guys up on every play but neither is Makar (or every other good smaller D who isn't Makar), and neither is Stanley, who has never been that player.
TBF, Bowness was absolutely ready to give Ville a shot after his strong preseason until the injury. After the injury, the usual caution crept in and it was off the table, esp after they'd spent on another D they wouldn't play in Miller.
I know there's a sense that fan won't pay to watch raw youth lose. But they might pay to watch raw youth show off their skill and play their hearts out and lose only some of the time.
We can't on the one hand laud Jets fans as the most knowledgeable on the planet and also say that they won't watch an exciting young team in development mode, that already has a solid core of vets and Vezina goalie.
Outside of 2017-18, the young teams the Jets iced as that team emerged played some of the most fun Jets hockey we've seen.
I think Ville and Samberg plus Salmo when he's ready might be a good young D core, maybe with DD and with Stan if they keep him.
I think this is one of the more important points here. Which of the 20 Jets that allegedly showed up yesterday are actually afraid that if they continue to play like shit, a Lambert or a Heinola might replace them? My guess would be less than five, and even that is generous. For most of our regulars, there is zero repercussions for anything. On the flip side, I truly wonder what we are actually expecting from our youngsters, because if this kind of performance doesn't even get Perfetti into the lineup, how will the rest of them get there?But they might pay to watch raw youth show off their skill and play their hearts out and lose only some of the time.

Once again, we come back to the fact that this organisation is far too loyal and not experimental enough with what riches they have amassed over the years. Sure, they're going with the safe option of everybody having to earn their spots (while giving chances to practically nobody), but the second they get figured out, they are f***ed. A lot of people have defended this approach here - a lot of the same people who also claim that this performance is about problems with... lol... mental fortitude. f*** that.
And the added bonus of being a franchise and location that players want to go. Vegas can literally have any available player they want.They didn't draft them, but utilized assets including high picked players to acquire Eichel, Pietrangelo and Hanafin etc.

Yeah, what happened to that team that finished 4th overall in the league?Wondering if an 108 pt team is going to show up.....for a playoff game. Sad.
It was 110 points.Gin has worn off......and am still irate.
This Jets team, that garnered 108 pts, allowing the least goals in the NHL.....while emphasizing "the system" "doing things the right way" "discipline" etc, etc.......has so far, looked like a total clown show, out there....
Getting out coached again just like Maurice did.Yeah, what happened to that team that finished 4th overall in the league?
How exactly do you know this? He's played 10 NHL games in 2 years. Can players get better? Or should we just play the gud pro every time?heinola can barely tread water in the NHL regular season. he would be eaten alive by the Avs stop kidding yourself. i don't think anyone wants to pay playoff prices to see "young team in development mode"
