Still not sure about giving Stanley the nod over Samberg for game 1 but it could be a situation of they split time for the first few games and whoever shows better gets the nod.

I only accept free box tickets from banks for the draftI am lucky enough to get a seat in the Scotiabank box, lord knows I pay them enough interest these days!
But looking forward to a great Friday night season opener!
It would be real good to see the Jets really jump on the Rags early as this will be there 3rd game in 4 nights!
Gonna keep a close eye on Dubey on effort level.
Pumped to see Peperoni work those magic hand and HIGH hockey IQ
I hope the atmosphere will be like the honeymoon years!
Are we allowed to smoke in the building again yet?

They were in Maurice’s system. In the preseason they only played ~10 mins together but were over 90xG%, 3-0 in high danger chances.
I’m willing to give them a chance.
I think it was pretty obvious that Samberg has passed Stanley on the depth chart at this point. He's just a lot more mobile, something Stanley will never overtake him in.
I don’t know if it’s obvious. Samberg made quite a few questionable passes in the preseason, as did Stanley of course, but I didn’t see a big difference. I actually think Stanley has higher offensive upside. It will be interesting to watch
The thing about Stanley's offensive upside is he will likely never be the better option there than Morrissey, Schmidt or Heinola. So he really shouldn't ever see PP time and will likely be leaned on more for his defensive zone play which I think Samberg is just better at. Sure Samberg made some mistakes but it's his first full year in the NHL. Stanley is on year 3 and not really showing any signs of being able to take the next step yet.

I agree with you on the D part, but hope he proves me wrong..
If only he could get his slap shot dialed in..
How do ppl view samberg>Stanley so confidently? I don't think we've seen enough to say imo
You make it sound like those are bad things.
Well, we've seen quite a bit of Stanley to know pretty well what he is: a decent 3rd pair option - as long as the opposition isn't playing a game that relies on speed (or he's sheltered from the speedy matchups). Although the Rags made the Lightning look slow out there the other night, so I dunno how this is going to pan out...

Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
Are the Jets the last team to play their 1st of the season? Because this waiting stuff is bullshit.
The NHL season starts and ends with the Jets for me, and I’m super annoyed that teams already are playing their 2nd or 3rd game of the season this Friday.

Somebody really needs to do a "where is she now" story on that one.

How derogatory is “chicks” when used to refer to women?

Hoping for a good game, but pretty unhappy with how the final D decision was reached. The Jets' best D prospect is unhappy with being sent to the minors, they lost another to waivers, all so they can keep a depth D in the press box and rotate the 3 of them into the 6th D role. I'm actually _really_ mad about that.
