Injury Report: Enstrom out 8 weeks, Poolman recalled!

[Dayofthedogs]

Agreed. With all due respect to Enstrom, I think the playoff series against the Ducks revealed him to be too small and ineffective against a big and fast team playing at playoff speed. He was more of a liability than an asset in that environment.

Toby was literally our best defensemen in the playoffs.... This stuff kills me.

 

[scelaton]

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery, in time for the second half of the season and playoffs....where I am afraid he will be targeted for more punishment.
I loved Enstrom's game the first few seasons he played here, but he is a shadow of his former self. He will be 34 next year and I hope he makes the right decision in the off-season about his future, for the sake of his health.

 

[Babooch]

I don't care if Toby is little and gets pushed around once or twice a game. He moves the puck well and usually turns it up ice before the forecheck can get going.

Toby was literally our best defensemen in the playoffs.... This stuff kills me.

And we went 0-4.

I really think you need to rewatch that series. Toby wasn’t nearly has “exposed” as some would say but he definitely wasn’t good.

 

[Eyeseeing]

If he plays like he has been this year ( a very good 3LHD), he is worth 2m for a year....who would take his place if he isn't on the team next year>
Chiarot?
Niku?
Poolman?

That’s what Chevy gets the big bucks for !

Toby had some serious problems back in that series. Denying that would only speak for your own blindness when trying to objectively validate a player performance. Blowing it up into a huge thing that leads to argument against Toby Enström's role on the team would be silly though. Toby has deficites - no question. If you go at him hard, quick and heavy, he's gonna be in trouble.

But you know who else has deficites that can get exploited if you target them?

Pretty much every other defenseman in the NHL outside MAYBE of the league wide top 10.

 

[Dayofthedogs]

I never said he didn't have problems in the series. All of our team did considering we lost in 4 strait games.

He was however our best defensmen in that series and I'll stand by that comment.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Really sucks for Entrom. I thought he was playing some real solid hockey the past few weeks

Yep - some very quiet, low event, solid hockey. Unfortunate for him.

 

[Huffer]

Sucks to lose Enstrom. Hopefully he's ready to go in 8 weeks and hopefully the Jets can keep this going and stay relatively healthy.

 

[JohnStaymoose]

To put it bluntly this injury is probably better for this team as our defense is much improved with Poolman in the line up over Enstrom. Just hope Maurice doesn't put Poolman in the press box and slot in Chairot.

 

[ijuka]

Unfortunate for Enström. Hoping for swift recovery for him.

For Jets though, I believe this actually genuinely makes them stronger. Poolman should have played anyway and I'm confident he'll be much better than Enström.

 

[Ducky10]

Poolman>Enstrom.....

Whoo boy, ok then.

 

[GJF]

Of course he is. I mean, you just go and compare it. With the amount of sample size in regular season NHL games played for Poolman and compare that amount of proof against Enström's amount and then... wait... I'm not sure this is legit.

 

[googleIsMyFriend]

I knew it when i saw it that he did get hurt badly. Damn.

Make no mistake, he is a difficult player to replace. And now our defence corp is paper thin. Aye. I hope that scheif and Little doesn't get hurt, those two are impossible to replace at the moment.

 

[AWSAA]

Toby was literally our best defensemen in the playoffs.... This stuff kills me.

What alternate timeline was this? Were they still swept? I remember it much differently. Toby played injured in that series and was arguably our worst D. Even some of his most ardent supporters were saying that at the time. Go back and read the GDTs if your memory needs refreshing.

 

[PhilJets]

Toby was not the Best D in that series.
Time and time again the ducks forward were flipping the puck on his side so they can keep the cycle going.


Jets played the ducks tough that series. They just didnt havd the experience to close out the games. Lowry was good in that series. It was a learninh lesson for Scheifele.

This year toby was ok. Though he had 2x where he got outmuscled and caused Jets bith goals . The impact on one to the game was probably not as great but the other one was big.

His offense really dried up. But it might be collectively the D group are playing more concervatively to keep the other team away from the slots most times.
Toby is still pretty on open ice play and transition out of the zone .


Go Jets Go

 

[Flair Hay]

Trading down in the 1st looks really, really bad in hindsight now. We traded a pick that could have been huge to keep Dano the popcorn dispenser, or Enstrom on crutches.

At least Pool-man has his shot. I doubt he leaves the team after, either.

Dude who cares right now? Team is rolling, 4th in the NHL this moment and you're worried about the expassion draft trade right now...

 

[Szechwan]

Do you guys expect Poolman to get any PP time? How's he looked in the A thus far?

 

[Aavco Cup]

No he won't get PP time. He should be on the PK.

 

[KingBogo]

I think we will miss Toby quite a bit. Chiarot is a poor substitute. If they can get Poolman in and he is able to adapt to the left the hole isn't too bad.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Well Chiarot had a chance let's see Poolman next instead please.

 

[Aavco Cup]

I think this is more like it

 

[Mathmew Purrrr Oh]

And we went 0-4.

well someone fell down the logic tree and managed to miss every branch
