Post-Game Talk: Ducks 4 - Jets 3 in OT

[Adam da bomb]

Stan is a lot like Tie Domi. Only ever got his start because of his toughness, got way too many games and eventually developed into a decent player.

 

[Jet]

I agree that Heinola hasn't shown enough to be granted that 3rd pair role.

My point is that the Jets need a better D than Stanley in that role if they want to be a real contender, and I have tried to support my opinion with specific examples (like mistakes or penalties at key moments). Of course other D make mistakes too, but I don't really see the benefit with Stanley, especially in the playoffs when the pace increases substantially and fighting becomes even less relevant.

Those are valid points. Basically you're saying we shouldn't go into the playoffs with any of our current bottom 5 guys? (maybe Fleury is the exception)

I'd love to see something like:

Jomo - Replacement 1RD
Snerg - Pionk
Fleury - Demelo

I think all our bottom 5 have some warts, but Stanley is second best by a hair before Fleury.

I"d say its a toss up with Miller and Fleury. Stan and Ville a step behind.
I'd actually say Miller and Fleury are 7 D. We could use a top 4 D to play with JoMo and a bottom pairing guy with DeMelo.

I feel like Stanley is better than Miller. He moves the puck better, i think Miller is fine but has to many flubs
