GDT: Game 72 - Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets - Friday, April 8th, 2022 - 7:00pm CDT - TSN3 - CJOB

[Atoyot]

Samberg in. So, Heinola practices yesterday, gets sent down, Samberg up and straight into the lineup with no practice. Weird sequence.

Agreed. Both should be playing imo.

 

[ps241]

Well aware. However, would you say whatever they say or do is working?

Why is this team so ill-prepared to start games? Why is PLD really the only one who seems to give a shit out there and plays with some semblance of intensity or passion? Or Ehlers one of the only few players who will take public accountability on his game?

Who ever is responsible for that is doing a poor job imo

"Would I say whatever they are saying is working"?

"No"!!!! or more importantly not yet.

This is how checked out I am. My wife said she wants to go to IKEA tonight, and I said I’d join her because I’d rather do that than watch the Jets play.

Nice to hear!

Thanks Mac

Probably not gonna bother with this one. 11-2 Avs win

Yep, but also kind of makes it seem like something went awry. If the plan was to let Samberg play they probably would have called him up prior to practice. Wonder if Heinola voiced some discontent over his usage.

Stanley was practicing as the 6th dman yesterday and Heinola was the extra, so they were never intending to play Heinola. The question is was Lowry telling the truth when he said Stanley is a little banged up today and that's why he isn't playing or if he is just giving Stanley some cover while choosing to play Samberg over him. We know that Lowry really liked Samberg when he played earlier this year as he was playing him instead of Stanley.

Possibly, don't blame him if he did. Lowry is an unmitigated disaster.

Finns are such malcontents, aren't they?

Jets got this game. Scheifele with the hat trick, Helly with the shutout. Start of a win streak that takes them to a playoff spot.

 

[Duke749]

Do we have too?

 

[Ducky10]

If you’re Heinola, how are you feeling? Samberg comes up and draws right in. Man the Jets sure know how to alienate their prospects.
Can’t wait to Lowry and co to be shown the door. Chevy. As well for that matter, for letting this coaching staff walk all over him and se ide the direction of this team.

 

[Andy6]

Jets will win this one. They're more motivated than the Avalanche and the tide of bad fortune has to turn sometime.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Agreed, but let's give them a proper sendoff.

Or maybe this is what Chevy wants.
This is what Maurice did with heinola last year, and doubles it down with Lowry. Common denominator?

Very possible but given his words last season about internal options, one wonders. Either this is true or he’s absolutely spineless. Maybe both in fact.

Given the things Chevy says in interviews and the callups he makes and the players he drafts I don't think that's the case. I think he's just deferring to the coaches since it's their job to make those decisions.

Maybe I'm missing something. But you mean when he said he expected heinola to play after the tdl? Or young players on the taxi squad?
Regardless - he acquired Jordie Benn and heinola didn't play, & he additionally was on the taxi squad a good part of the year.

Maybe. If he's in charge of call-ups then what's the point of having heinola sit weeks on end rather than play in the A at the very least. Either way, other than a pay increase what's the upside?

That if somebody needs to go in in a pinch Heinola's there, or it's a subtle hint to the coach who Chevy wants in the lineup.

Just the ones we draft ……..

 

[SensibleGuy]

so...the coach is making decisions that seem kinda dumb and are actually not really in line with Chevy's wishes but being a good GM, he's giving the coach leeway to run the team as he sees fit even though maybe it's detrimental to the development of young players. Several years go by and the coach resigns because the team is under-performing. Chevy installs the new coach...who then carries on making the same choices that are different than the choices Chevy would like to see...and he gives the new coach leeway to make those decisions while the team continues to under-perform? Is there a point where Chevy should maybe decide to say something?

Idk seems that their might be a disconnect between the coach and gm if that's the case. however, the GM is in charge of coach staff, and we've seen how long he kept Maurice until he quit, and followed it up with Lowry.

 

[Babooch]

Hoosli choir will be worth it, if the Jets show up that would be swell too. Plan to get into the beer tonight heavier than normal and walk home. Such walks are good for the soul.
